Kiryu is the stoic dreamer of the dark yakuza world, living by a strict code of honor and a very strong sense of justice.

He does not judge others and is generally accepting of anyone who is friendly towards him. He is a good listener, giving advice in response to his environment rather than seeking out conversations. He is wise (but certainly not all-knowing) and generally means well for those around him, which makes him surprisingly pragmatic and well-liked. He still considers himself a yakuza at heart, and although he views violence as necessary, Kiryu is disgusted by violent yakuza who are corrupted by revenge and power, like Nishikiyama and young Daigo, and urges them to snap out of it.
