Etymology
Her name is derived either from the Yakuza series' Japanese title Ryuu ga Gotoku, (which translates to "Like a Dragon") or the name of the main character, Kiryuu Kazuma.
- The name Ryuka is written in katakana (リュウカ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (柳香, 流架, 琉夏, 竜佳, 龍嘉, 竜香 or 瑠華), it could possibly mean:
- 柳香 - "willow incense".
- 流架 - "flow, style, manner, method" (流) (ryu) and "" (架) (ka).
- 琉夏 - "precious stone, gem, lapis lazuli" (琉) (ryu) and "summer" (夏) (ka).
- 竜佳 - "dragon" (竜) (ryu) and "good, beautiful" (佳) (ka).
- 龍嘉 - "dragon" (龍) (ryu) and "applaud, praise, esteem, happy, auspicious" (嘉) (ka).
- 竜香 - "dragon" (竜) (ryu) and "fragrance, fragrant" (香) (ka).
- 瑠華 - "lapis lazuli" (瑠) (ryu) and "flower, petal" (華) (ka).
Trivia
- Ryuka's weapons are all references to Kazuma Kiryu, the main protagonist of most of the Yakuza games.
- Sake is a common type of alcoholic beverage in the Yakuza series, found in practically every bar in the games, and one of her attacks references how it serves as a powerup item to Kazuma in combat.
- Ryuka's personality is largely based on Kazuma's.
- Ryuka's outfit is a feminized version of Kazuma's classic white suit and red shirt, and the dragon motif on the front references Kazuma's dragon tattoo on his back.
- Ryuka's CG scene with Noire in a hostess club is a reference to an event Kazuma can be part of in the Yakuza games, where he has to work as an attendant at a club and can even run his own.
