Personality
Ryuuji is a social and charismatic (at least if you ask him) boy who prefers to be friendly to others, but more often than not this is a facade for hiding his anger at his father's disappearance. Snarky, arrogant, and fun-loving, Ryuuji also loves games and will happily play them with anyone who's willing to take him on. That being said, he has been around games from a very young age and rarely loses, having been brought up for the purpose of playing one against a certain person. He also likes to show off, whether it be in school, at work or elsewhere, and greatly enjoys a challenge - indeed, he is often unable to turn one down. Ryuuji is rarely seen without his trademark dice, and can often be seen performing tricks with them - something that occasionally gets him in trouble at school.
Beneath the cheerful surface Ryuuji normally shows is an angry young man who is enraged at his father's "demoning away" and determined to do whatever it takes to get revenge. He has a sadistic and cruel side which, while mostly contained to belittling and the occasional humiliation, sometimes stretches out to physical "punishment." He also refuses to speak of his father, even to those who become close to him, and will turn cold if he is so much as mentioned, even walking away from those who persist in asking about him.
Background
Ryuuji was born in Hinamizawa, and resided there with his father and mother until his mother's death. His father, Otogi Sindin, then relocated with Ryuuji to Okinomiya, where he home-schooled his son (believing that contact with non-believers of Oyashiro-sama would result in a curse) for most of his life. At first, Sindin was a kind father to Ryuuji, but as the years went by, he began to hear footsteps that followed him nearly everywhere. Before long, he became paranoid and came to believe that an old friend of his, Mutou Sugoroku, was responsible for this.
From then on, things changed. Sindin began to look much older than his years due to stress and lack of sleep, and became abusive towards Ryuuji, leading him to believe that in order to rid the family of this terrible curse, a sacrifice had to be made - in the form of Sugoroku's grandson, Yugi.
Ryuuji, having heard of Yugi's love of games, designed Dungeon Dice Monsters solely for the purpose of being able to challenge him at it. He grew to despise Yugi for what his family had apparently done to his father and attacked him at the first opportunity, using his skill at games and knowledge of Yugi's friendships in his attempt to ruin the other boy. Yugi was eventually able to make Ryuuji see that his father's condition was not the fault of his family's and managed to beat Ryuuji at his own game. Sindin, however, ranted at Ryuuji for being unable to avenge him and dragged Yugi away. It is unknown what happened next, but it culminated in Sindin burning down their home in a fit of insanity. Although everyone caught in the fire survived and Sindin apparently recovered, Sindin moved back with Ryuuji to Hinamizawa in shame, believing this to be because of the will of Oyashiro-sama.
Back in the village, Sindin and Ryuuji began to repair their relationship, and Ryuuji attended the school, beginning to have a normal life for the first time in years. The Otogi family was happy again, until the night of the Watanagashi festival, where Sindin disappeared as a supposed result of Oyashiro-sama's curse.
Now, Ryuuji works at the toy store after school in addition to thinking up new games. He refuses to speak about his father's disappearance and, indeed, will simply walk away from people who bring it up. He keeps Dungeon Dice Monsters largely to himself, wanting to open up a game store of his own one day. Whether he believes in Oyashiro-sama's curse or not is kept a secret, but one thing is for sure - someone is responsible for it, and thus has to pay.
