Ryu Jose (リュウ・ホセイ Ryū Hosei?) is a fictional character from the 1979 anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. He was voiced by Shozo Iizuka in the original Japanese and by Ward Perry in the English dub.
Fictional Background
A large, stocky man with a dusky complexion, Ryu was a test pilot-in-training for the Earth Federation on Side 7. When the colony was attacked by Char Aznable, Ryu took control of the Core Fighter jet to protect the White Base. Being a gentle, caring, considerate comrade, Ryu was the best mediator to ease the tension between the uptight Bright Noa and the young civilian recruits. He was loved by all aboard the White Base. Ryu was killed during the White Base's attack from Crowley Hamon. A critically wounded Ryu (previously from firefights during Ramba Ral's attempted boarding attack) drove his Core Fighter kamikaze-style into Hamon's fighter in order to save the life of Amuro Ray as well as the crew of the White Base.
