History Characters / InfinityTrainDuet

Kez's "roommate". [[spoiler: She is actually the castle Kez lives in.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Ryan is effeminate in hairstyle and physique and there are several points where he flashes a big, sparkling anime smile at his friend.

* RedOniBlueOni: Has this dynamic with Min-Gi. Is the red due to being more adventurous and determined never to give up on his dreams. He even threw Min-Gi's keys into what was clearly a supernatural portal that opened up in front of them and then jumped in himself, just because something out of the ordinary was happening. His glasses are also red. WordOfGod would later state he was purposely designed with "warmer" colors in mind being the more naturally free-spirited member of the duo.

* RedOniBlueOni: Has this dynamic with Ryan. Serving as the blue as he usually tries to come off as reserved, but is still prone to outbursts, and is focused on living a safe, normal life instead of pursuing their former shared dream of music stardom. His clothes seen in flashbacks and present also mainly ranged in shades of blue to bluish gray. WordOfGod would later go to state he was designed with "cooler" colors in mind to give a sense he's the more closed off half of the duo.

* NoNameGiven: In the show, anyway-- [[WordOfGod Owen said in an AMA]] that it's called The Docent. [[FreezeFrameBonus Though there is a sign saying to mind it]].

-->'''Voiced by:''' Margaret Cho

* BalefulPolymorph: Shifting their environment via the reagulator in their car causes them to change with it, much to their chagrin. They later weaponize this in their hunt for Kez, Ryan and Min-Gi.

* CorruptHick: She's both the sheriff and the judge of the Old West Car and she doesn't really think much of being fair in her judgements and arrests. She throws Ryan and Min-Gi in jail together with Kez, even though they had nothing to do with her crimes and then almost executes them, even though Kez had escaped by that point, solely so there's ''someone'' the town can take their anger out on.

* NiceHat: Wears a hat in the photo of him with Kez and Morgan along with the fact his diary eventually gets to entries involving what type of hat he ended up wearing that particular day.

* MrFanservice: Unbuttons his shirt sexily to persuade The Cat in The Old West Car and [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn strips down to his underwear]] in The Party Car. (Although it is to change clothes, he did so in front of a room full of partygoers shamelessly.)

* {{Megane}}: Has worn a pair of red glasses for most of his life. The clips in the trailer show he used to wear ones with a frame shape that was close to Tulip's but at the time the series takes place he dons a pair with two nose bridges.

* BlatantLies: Vigorously denies that there's anything wrong with his and Min's friendship when Kez questions it, but it's clear he and Min arefooling themselves.

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: To Book 3's protagonists Simon and Grace. Simon and Grace met on the train and their friendship was shown to be unhealthy and co-dependent and is eventually dissolved. Ryan and Min were best friends before the train but their friendship became strained over the issue of their futures, leading them to board. [[spoiler: Learning to communicate with Min-Gi, and mending that relationship, leads to their exits.]] Ryan contrasts Grace, in that they're both the headstrong, fierce one in the relationship and tend to boss others around and pull them along. But whereas it took Grace years to grow out of this mindset, Ryan comes to terms with this particular flaw of his relatively quickly. [[spoiler: He even gets an exit long before Min-Gi does, but ultimately decides against taking it.]]

* ExtremeOmnisexual: When they need The Cat’s help in the The Old West Car, Ryan unbuttons his shirt and tries to seduce a [[BestialityIsDepraved literal Cat.]]

His attempt is unsuccessful...

* ParentalIssues: It's heavily implied his parents are neglectful, and considering how his dad is shown smacking one of their kids with a spatula at the beginning, likely abusive. This adds to Ryan's frustrations when he and Min-Gi lash out at each other in ''The Art Gallery Car.'' In ''The Old West Car'' Ryan brings up how Min's parents would definitely worry and look for him while his...

'''Ryan:''' But, they'll wonder where we went to... At least... yours probably will.\\

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: He promises Min he's not going anywhere and he won't leave him on the train.

Ryan and Min were best friends before the train but their friendship became strained over the issue of their futures, leading them to board. [[spoiler: Learning to communicate with Ryan, and mending that relationship, leads to their exits.]] Min contrasts Simon, in that they're both somewhat of a ControlFreak and have a hard time accepting when they're in the wrong. But contrary to Simon, who only ever doubles down on his worst traits and actively refuses to get better, Min eventually realizes that he can't keep blaming Ryan for all of his problems and steadily learns to let go and approach things in a more lax manner.

* BlatantLies: Vigorously denies that there's anything wrong with his and Min's friendship when Kez questions it, but it's clear he and Min are most likely fooling themselves.

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: To Book 3's protagonists Simon and Grace. Simon and Grace met on the train and their friendship was shown to be unhealthy and co-dependent and is eventually dissolved. Ryan and Min were best friends before the train and the trailer heavily implies there's some sort of strain on their relationship, which is most likely the reason for them becoming passengers. Which in turn would mean that fixing their friendship is what will eventually allow them to leave the train.

* MeaningfulName: While we haven't seen the kanji for "Akagi" yet, there's both a train line (列車) and station (赤城駅) called Akagi/Akagieki in Japan.

* ParentalIssues: It's heavily implied his parents are neglectful, and considering how his dad is shown smacking one of their kids with a pan at the beginning, likely abusive. This adds to Ryan's frustrations when he and Min-Gi lash out at each other in ''The Art Gallery Car.'' In ''The Old West Car'' Ryan brings up how Min's parents would definitely worry and look for him while his...

* AffectionateNickname: He's referred to as Min by Ryan and Kez eventually starts referring to him as Min.

* BlatantLies: When Kez assumes he and Ryan are mortal enemies because of their slightly hostile interactions, he immediately denies this and insists that their relationship is just fine. Judging by his tone and the way things generally work on the train, this is probably not correct.

* TheDutifulSon: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. One of Min's defining flaws is his desperation to please his very uptight, traditional parents. He abandons his dreams about being a musician to instead do what they want and follow a more stable career in financing, down to setting aside his instrument of choice in order to learn the violin, a more "sensible" instrument, even though doing so is obviously making him miserable.

* Bishonen: Ryan is effeminate in hairstyle and physique and there are several points where he flashes a big, sparkling anime smile at his friend.

* AsianAndNerdy: Is of Japanese descent and definitely on the geeky side.

* ArcNumber: 2. His and Min-Gi's book is called "Duet", they're the first protagonists to board the Infinity Train together and both of them have the number 202.

* ArcNumber: 2. Him and Ryan are the first passengers to board the train in a pair and the number on both their palms is 202. Additionally, their book is called "Duet", which is a composition traditionally made for two voices and/or instruments.

* HistoryRepeats: Has to relive [[spoiler:Min-Gi abandoning him on stage again, but this time goes to talk to him about it]].

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Only wore a pair of red shorts as a child when singing at his "live concert" and was the first to start changing his clothes when he and Min-Gi's luggage was returned (Which at that time he's now shown to wear a tank top rather than just underwear).

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: He's impulsive and does whatever he wants in the moment. This is the main reason his career as a musician hasn't taken off and what Ryan harps on him for whenever he tries to play by the rules while Ryan does the complete opposite.

* [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]]: [[spoiler: She's extremely violent and destructive when angry, almost killing Ryan and Min-Gi for the crime of being there while Kez is being InnocentlyInsensitive about Jeremy. She also thinks nothing of sicking a gang of angered denizens on them when Min doesn't immediately take his exit like she orders him to. When Kez does finally give her a sincere apology, she just haughtily remarks that it won't be enough to fix their relationship right now.]]
