Ryuu Chiba

Ryuu Chiba is a character in the I Hear the Sunspot series. He's a deaf young man who Kōhei Sugihara gets to know as a potential love interest. He plays for the deaf soccer team that Umetani started.

Appearance
It's assumed that Ryuu has red hair when Maya Ōkami describes him to Satoshi Yasuda as a carrot head.

Personality
Ryuu is a straight shooter and doesn't like to sugarcoat things. This can be seen when he talks to Kōhei about his surgery, and Umetani when he pretended to hear from both ears. Moreover, he's a jokester who would like to put a smile on everyone's face even though his approach can come across as abrasive and forward. Ryuu believes that those who can and can't hear should live in two separate worlds since it's inconvenient for both when they're together.

Story
Ryuu works at a game development company.
