Humans have a will to live!
~ Ryuko about humanity’s importance and survival and as well as her selflessness.

Ryuko Matoi is the main protagonist of the acclaimed Studio Trigger anime Kill la Kill. She is a nomadic transfer student who reaches for her fathers killer, which leads her to Honnoji Academy and leading her into conflict with the iron-willed Satsuki Kiryuin and causes her to find out about the Life Fibers, which is actually a parasitic extraterrestrial species which can amplify their physical capabilities and giving them superhuman powers, causing her to come into conflict with one called Senketsu.

She also finds out that she is actually half-Life Fiber that was gifted to her by her mother as an infant so her mother would use her for her nefarious ends of helping her master, a eldritch alien entity called the Primordial Life Fiber, who is actually the progenitor of the Life Fiber species, to help place humanity under its control so it could eat them up and expand their influence across the universe. This would team up with one called Senketsu, who helps her in her battle against her abusive biological mother Raygo Kiryuin and her right hand Nui Harime, causing their downfall and as well as the monstrous Primordial Life Fiber, who is their own master, from consuming humanity whole again.

She is voiced by Ami Koshimizu in the Japanese version of the anime and Erica Mendez in the English dubbed version.

Actions & Characteristics[]

  • While she started off as an anti-hero, by the time as the series went by, she shredded many of her corrupting qualities such as pride, arrogance, and rudeness and becomes genuinely nice girl at the end of the story, despite still holding some minor corrupting qualities.
  • She is the most admirable hero in the entire anime series. She helped save the rest of humanity by defeating numerous heinous villains such as Nui Harime and Raygo Kiryuin, and even destroyed the Ultimate Evil and instigator of the series, The Primordial Life Fiber, from helping enslave humanity and use them as a feeding source before moving on to other planets to consume them.
  • Being the main protagonist, she is responsible for most of the show’s conflict, due to coming into conflict with her sister Satsuki Kiryuin and causing many of her enemies to become her allies and causing Satsuki to become her ally too and cause the downfall of her vicious mother, Raygo Kiryuin, who is the CEO of REVOCS.
  • She is no slouch when it comes to power. She is able to withstand her own ground against foes in her base form and as becoming one with Senketsu, she is able to take down foes with ease and as well as granting her superhuman strength. After synchronicizing with the rest of the Life Fibers, managed to destroy the Primordial Life Fiber itself.
