Ryūsuke is relatively tall for a Yamataian at 6 feet in height, but is quite skinny. He has brown eyes, tan skin, and black hair and a beard. He tends to wear simple clothes that are easily repaired since he hates to throw anything away if he can fix it. To aid in the work of maintaining the farm, he builds robots from scrap salvage he buys wholesale.

Ryūsuke grew up in Shingō in the Ice Queen Mountains of Yamatai (Planet), the middle child with one older sister Kinoshita Fusako and one younger sister, Hibari. There are few remaining records of his childhood since it was entirely before the Great Plague of YE 08.

Ryūsuke married another Shingō resident, Kaori (佳保里), who worked as a bridge bunny in the Star Army of Yamatai. Their first son Daizō (太三) was born in YE 27 and their second son Ginji (吟二) was born in YE 31. Ryūsuke was content to stay home as a house husband, until Kaori died in the line of duty in YE 34. Seeing the rebuilding effort on Jiyuu III as an opportunity, he sold everything he had and set out to start a tea plantation outside of Sapporo.

Ryūsuke has the following relationships:

• Kuroda no Daizō (黒田の太三), his eldest son, born in YE 27 in Shingō on Yamatai (Planet),
• Kuroda no Ginji (黒田の吟二), his youngest son, born in YE 31 in Shingō on Yamatai (Planet),
• Kinoshita Fusako (née Kuroda no Fusako), his older sister who makes sake,
• Sonoda Hibari (née Kuroda no Hibari), his younger sister and housewife of Sonoda Akira, and
• Sonoda Takashi, his nephew

Ryūsuke was mentioned in the following threads:

• A gift before departure - Taro to Fusako
