Appearances[]

River City Ransom[]

Ryan debuted in the localization of Downtown Nekketsu Story as the replacement for Riki.

With Alex and Ryan not being in school the day Slick took over, they decide to set out to free the students of River City High and rescue Cyndi. Alex and Ryan would meet Slick's girlfriend Roxy on the Capitol Ave Bridge where she informs the two that Randy and Andy were responsible for kidnapping Cyndi and that she's currently hidden away in a room on River City High's top floor. She tells the two that they'll need to defeat the twins to rescue her and warns them of their strength. She reassures before leaving that although she's Slick's girlfriend, she is still in full support of Alex and Ryan.

River City Ransom EX[]

Ryan replaces Riki in the localization of Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari EX. Although the name was changed, Ryan's sprite remained unchanged from Riki.

River City Ransom: Underground[]

Alex and Ryan first appear during the prologue of the game with their past selves being playable as it retells the events of River City Ransom. In the present day, Ryan has since broken up with Cyndi and now works at the A&R Auto Shop with Alex and Roxy. The two first notice the protagonists coming out of the sewer. With Ryan suspecting that the protagonists are the reason why the city's gangs are out on a rampage, the group try to plead their innocence, though Alex reassures that they don't need to worry as they already know what's truly going on. The two have deducted that Slick is responsible for what's been happening with Alex commenting that it'll be hard to track him down with all of the city's gangs seeking Merv's reward money. Roxy wakes up to inform the two that one of the Bee brothers were spotted near the freeway, so the two get ready to leave. Alex and Ryan will then lead the protagonists to the Purple Bee, where they then all fight against him. Upon defeating the Purple Bee, Ryan compliments the fighting skills of the protagonists and suggests teaming up to take down Slick together. From this point on, Ryan becomes available as a playable character.

Roxy later informs the group at the Auto Shop that Slick's old kingpins have truly been popping up across town and that she's gotten a tip pointing towards the Riverside Bridge and begins to reminisce about how she used to give tips on the bridge. Ryan mentions Roxy's previous relationship with Slick and where that ended up, to where it is then hinted that the two have feelings for each other. With Slick eventually defeated at the old River City High, Alex and Ryan are confused as to why they're still wanted by Merv. Ryan comments that fighting Slick was only a distraction, though Alex appears confused as to who would've wanted them to fight him. Ryan then agrees with the protagonists' plan on confronting Merv himself or he believes no progress will be made. He suggests that they all go see Cyndi in Rollingwood as she'd know more about the gang activity in the area and be able to help them get closer to Merv.

Upon arriving at Cyndi's house, Ryan appears happy to see her after so long, though states his name after he mistakenly thought she forgot who he was. When the protagonists arrive with milk at Cyndi's request, Alexis comes downstairs to complain about being unable to study to her mother, though introduces herself to the group. Ryan appears surprised at the fact Cyndi has a daughter and confused that her name is Alexis.

River City Girls 2[]

Ryan appears as a hirable assist at the Dog Park in Downtown upon finding three of the secret rooms in the game.
