Rikuson is the heir to the Riku family, a family that have been protectors of the Sovereign&#039;s Seal for generations. After his father is killed by Sonsaku, he is raised up by Koumei. With Koumei, Rikuson has travelled to many lands and earns great knowledge of the stars and about life itself. This has inspired him to take the name is the &#039;Crimson Warrior&#039;.  Rikuson is a selfless person, as he is always protecting his master. His great obessesion with his master has greatly affected his way of thinking, which often clashes with his comrades. However, as he opens his heart to his comrades, he learns of the importance of friendship and decides to protect them along with Sonken.    Rikuson is the chosen one. He is engulfed by a red aura, symbolising his fate as the chosen one from the Sovereign&#039;s Seal. He is also the ultimate light.

The Imperial Seal has been passed down through the generations since ancient times. It confers great power unto the warriors that it chooses. This is the story of those warriors.<br>
It is a time of chaos and of civil war. It is a time when great armies clash in titanic battles and great heroes carve their names in history. It is also a time of death and destruction, when the people of the land live in constant fear of the sword. Onto this stage steps the reluctant Rikuson (Lu Xun), whose family had been the guardians of the Imperial Seal up until it was stolen by Sonsaku. At the behest of his mentor Rikuson offers his services to Sonsaku with the intention of confirming the will of the Imperial Seal. However, assassins strike down Sonsaku and the Imperial Seal is lost. So begins, Rikuson&rsquo;s journey to recover the Imperial Seal and discover his destiny. <br><br>

A Japanese actor, voice actor, singer and narrator from Saitama Prefecture.

Miyano joined The Himawari Theatre Group at the age of 7 under the influence of his older brother, yet he did not attend the class as much as he should have. After entering high school, due to the uncertainty he felt towards the future, Miyano started attending singing and dance lessons he has been skipping until now. While taking music lessons, Miyano started to discover his music style through the encounter with music produced by singers like CHEMISTRY and EXILE. Miyano's first acting job was in 1992 in Tokusou Exceedraft, where he appeared in a flashback as a child in a yakuza member's past.
