==Summary==
Kakeru Ryūen is the class representative of Class C who is known for being an infamous delinquent and he does not lead his class by trust, but rather by fear. He has a group of henchmen who do his dirty work, which contributes to his fearsome reputation. 
Kakeru is a blameworthy and reprehensible person who loves causing trouble for others as seen when he and his gang purposefully caused conflict with Ken Sudō and wanted to expel him. He also possesses a sadistic nature, as shown when he looked as if he was going to attack the vulnerable Ken after his men held him down only to instead flick him on the head while laughing at his fear. He was very ruthless as he took a glass bottle and hit one of his followers on the head with it, showing no remorse after the act. This and many other actions show that he is willing to use followers for any goal as he sees fit to achieve his purpose of controlling the school and enjoying himself.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: At least Street level (Kakeru is shown strong, as he was able to intimidate and have complete dominion over Daichi Ishizaki, who was a notorious delinquent in middle school. Superior to Mio Ibuki, but inferior to Albert physically. During his brawl with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka in Volume 7, Kakeru simulated techniques and moves mixed from various martial styles. The former noted that the latter must have self-taught himself to have mastered his combative skills. Despite his prowess, he was shown to be no match for Kiyotaka's power who easily threw him to the ground and violently beat him, Hit Hosen with multiple punches eventually causing him to bleed while stalling for Ayanokouji)
Speed: Peak Human 
Lifting Strength: At least Above Average (Can throw a ladder and iron pipes at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka)
Striking Strength: At least Street level
Durability: At least Street level (Took multiple hits from Ayanokouji although he was holding back and stated he can knock him out in one punch, Tanked multiple hits from Hosen who is said to be as strong as Albert.)
Stamina: At least Athletic, likely Peak Human (Can fight for extended periods of time even after acquiring damage from stronger opponents. His sinister smile didn't disappear for most of the time even when Ayanokouji was hitting him. He should be comparable to Hayato Kitou who should be superior to Suzune Horikita in stamina due to a physical score of 89 which should imply that he's physically very strong and has some of the best physical endeavors in the entire ANHS.)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Gifted (Easily one of the smartest, and most manipulative characters in COTE. In spite of his regular violent actions and tenancies, Kakeru is shown to be someone who is very intelligent as he successfully persuaded and forged an alliance with Kōhei Katsuragi to aid him in the survival test. He also planted spies in the respective camps of classes 1-B and 1-D in order to learn the identities of the leaders to gather points for his own class without the respective class leaders finding out. He did this in a way to garner more points, due to the contract with Kōhei. His plan was able to outplay Suzune Horikita and would have been successful had he not been outsmarted by Kiyotaka Ayanokōuji intervening. Eventually, he was able to convince Kohei to join his class and leave Class A by appealing to his complicated history with Arisu Sakayanagi. It is said that his leadership and presence in his class is the only reason they are able to remain competitive with the other classes and without him, his class would have would be in constant pandemonium)
Weaknesses: Arrogant. Self-centered. Thinks too highly of himself and underestimates those he views as lower than him.
