Ryouma Kurogane/Relationships

Ikki Kurogane
Ryouma unlike most of the family aside from Shizuku, cares a great deal for Ikki, as he is his great-grandfather, but much more of his father figure as well. Ryouma is the one who encouraged Ikki to become a Knight and never give up and gave him the confidence to keep going no matter how hard, or painful, it got.

Genma Kurogane
Genma was the son of Ryouma. He was far more strict and extreme than his father, eventually overthrowing him as the Head of the Family.

Shizuku Kurogane
Great-granddaughter. They are the only two to encourage Ikki from the Kurogane family.

Ouma Kurogane
Great grandson.

Itsuki Kurogane
Grandson.

Nangou Torajirou
Ryouma's rival, during his life. They were both described as some the strongest Blazers of their time. They also seemed to have great respect for each other.

Edelweiss
Ryouma's disciple. He taught the young Edelweiss shortly after he was half-exiled from the Kurogane family. He seemed to encourage her in her path of swordsman using the same words that he would later say to his great-grandson.
