Ms. Shima's younger brother, Ryou, is described by her as a formidable yet reckless attacker whose playing style mirrors that of Nobara. Trusting in his continued involvement with Central Soukai University's esteemed volleyball team, Ms. Shima sends Nobara to train under Ryou. However, she remains unaware that Ryou has not participated in practices for over a year due to a conflict with his teammates, who doubted his capability as an attacker given his short stature. Despite this setback, Ryou actively competes in beach volleyball with a local group of unconventional but skilled players, collectively known as the Eagles, showcasing his sharp perceptiveness. Outside of volleyball, he indulges somewhat in womanizing.
