Ryu Tenkuji (天空寺 龍, Tenkūji Ryū) is Takeru Tenkuji's late father. He was a superior Ghost Hunter and gave the Ore Ghost Eyecon to Takeru.
History[]
Super Movie Wars Genesis[]
Ryu, in the year 2005, assists his son's future self as well as Shinnosuke Tomari from 10 years in the future. He was later killed while trying to shield his son's 2005 self from a projectile coming from the Da Vinci Eyecon. Before dying, he entrusts a pendant resembling Miyamoto Musashi's tsuba to young Takeru, as older Takeru and Shinnosuke return to the year 2015, before Ryu tells his time-displaced son not to worry that he deserved this fate and will always be with him as a spirit in the future.
Later in the year 2015, his spirit appears, allowing Ghost to assume a new-found power, Tousan Damashii.
