Alexandryu

**Alexandryu** (アレクサンド龍, *Arekusandoryū*) is the editor-in-chief of Spy Day and a Gold Rank spy.

## Appearance

Alexandryu is a large and muscular man with short, black-colored hair that's entirely slicked-back fashion save for a small strand at the front.

He has a moustache composted of two long strands of hair that go out and upwards from the top of his lips as well as stubble on his chin forming a small yet noticeable goatee.

Alexandryu is often seen wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers complete with suspenders; he also wears a black tie with many white hearts on it and is often seen with a pen and notepad on him.

## Personality

Alexandryu presents himself to have a very flirtatious personality, often making romantic quips and questions towards other people. This seems to be due to him wanting to get a good story out of people to put in his magazine as gossip, so he's always trying to learn some kind of drama or scandal from people. Alexandryu also states that "information is a spy's lifeblood" and he is loyal to situations which can get him a good article in his gossip magazine.

Alexandryu also has a caring side to him, as he chooses to look after the orphans trained by the Spy Association. All the children are very fond of him and like to show off what they've learned with him, he equally assists in training and helping them with their progress. He is very attentive with the children, and still keeps in contact with them even after they've left the association; he also makes the effort to memorize everything about the children.

Alexandryu is also very close with Shinzo Yozakura, and quite flirtatious with him as well. This is due to him training the younger man from a young age and greatly admiring his progress. In his own words, Alexandryu views Shinzo as a person he can get an excellent article about in his magazine.

## History

At some point, Alexandryu had decided to work at the children's training wing at the Spy Association HQ. Whilst working there he met Shinzo Yozakura who ran away from home to train there. Alexandryu took an interest in Shinzo after finding out that he's a Yozakura and began to look after and train him whilst he was there. Rei Yozakura allowed Shinzo to go there often so Alexandryu would take care of Shinzo with her permission. Alexandryu continues to look after the children there to this day, being seen as the den mother of the place.

## Plot

### Spy Association Arc

Alexandryu is first introduced when the gold-rank spies had a meeting, as people were waiting outside Alexandryu snuck up behind Shinzo and groped his chest from behind, causing Shinzo to freak out and attack him with Turmeric. Alexandryu comes out of it unfazed and compliments Shinzo before asking him to do a photoshoot nude for his magazine.

During the meeting Alexandryu continues to try and touch Shinzo, with Shinzo holding him back. After the nature of the meeting is revealed, to expel the Yozakura Family from the Spy Association due to the acts of Momo Yozakura, he votes to expel them. Despite liking the family, he'd rather have a good story for his magazine, and he knows that the Yozakura Family could survive without being a part off the Spy Association. Shura threatens him after hearing that he'd disregard the family, this also riles up Futaba and with the 3 of the feuding, Shinzo tries to calm them all down. When Kyoichiro lashes out and threatens them all, Alexandryu says that he's fine with it but also tells him how it would just make their family look even worse. When Kyoichiro makes his proposal to capture Momo within a time limit, Alexandryu mistakenly thought he meant 3 months (thinking it was a reasonable amount of time) instead of 3 days. He then gets excited about how good of a story it would be if they pull it off and says he'd have a special interview with Shinzo after it. The group then receive a video message from Momo, which was a bomb threat to the Spy Association HQ. Alexandryu comments on Momo being insane and gets excited to beat him up. He leads the way to the Spy Association HQ and as they travel there he comment on Momo's insane personality and how he's similar to Kyoichiro.

When they all arrive at the HQ, they all split up and Alexandryu grabs both Taiyo and Shinzo to come with him so he can interview them both as they travel. They end up making it to the Children's training wing where he is kindly greeted by all the kids there who all want to show off their skills to him and ask him for help. Shinzo tells Taiyo about how Alexandryu would train the kids here and Shinzo when he was younger, which makes Alexandryu reminisce about how small Shinzo was and how proud he is of him. Alexandryu then says how he wishes that "he" was still around to see how much Shinzo has grown, which Shinzo affirms. Tobio, then asks Alexandryu to show him how to break a code, which leads to Shinzo grabbing and choking him. Shinzo starts talking about how the real Tobio was adopted a month ago and off having piano lessons right now. He says how the eyes are 3% paler than Tobio's and their fingers are 2mm shorter than his and as the editor-in-chief of Spy Day he has the skills to memorise the personal details of everyone and how this imposter was carelss. The fake Tobio reveals itself as a Dark Cherry which Alexandryu punches into pieces. Another one starts to reveal itself and Alexandryu instantly appears in front of it, grabbing it's head and smashes it through several walls. The Dark Cherry stabs into him and starts trying to suck from him, but Alexandryu takes out a pen and notepad and starts writing down details about it. He writes about how they feel like a tree trunk, can shapeshift but still has a core, have tentacles that piece skin and cause searing pain and cause the average person to disintegrate. However, Ryu's overwhelming strength and muscle causes the tentacle to shrivel up and then Ryu squeezes it's body in a hug that splatters it into pieces as he says how this would make a good article. He mentions how he spotted them the moment he entered the room and calms down all the kids and tells them to get back to their training. He informs everyone else via phone how he's taken out two of them.

### Visitor Arc

During the 5 years of training for the Yozakura Family, Alexandryu was to hire Shinzo to train him at Spy Day Editorial. He had Shinzo serve him tea whilst wearing nothing but a thong, bow-tie and bunny ears - calling that his uniform. He mentions that clothing is mere decorations and the Spy Day Editorial Department aims to strip the world bare, so clothes mean nothing to them. He then sexually assaults Shinzo by stripping him naked and took pictures of him naked, stating how he's abusing his power as his boss.

### Wedding Arc

Alexandryu next appears after the 5 years as Shinzo is sending a secret message to the Yozakura Family. He explains how Alexandryu had set up and arranged Shinzo to be married to his daughter Katana Alexand without his permission. Alexandryu walks in as he's making this message and asks him about stuff to do with the wedding. After realising what Shinzo is doing, he sneaks up behind him and confiscates his phone.

At Shuei Hotel, a day before Shinzo and Katana's wedding, Alexandryu is with the two of them as he obsessively takes photos and compliments them. Katana tells him how over the top he is, but he justifies his actions as it's his duty as an editor-in-chief. He vows to make the wedding a success and how it'll be the biggest scoop of his career.

The next day, Alexandryu dresses Shinzo and Katana up in different clothing, wanting to find clothes that best suit Shinzo. He warns Shinzo how he has Spy Day employees ready to stop him if he ever tries to escape, meaning people will get getting hurt if Shinzo tries to do so. He then tells Shinzo how the wedding is being done for Takemi, as he wants his wish to come true and Shinzo should understand. He then holds a cake knife with Takemi's name engraved onto it. Usa then comes and informs him that the Yozakura Family have arrived and are threatening to destroy the hotel if he doesn't let Shinzo go. Alexandryu heads out, knowing this would happen and determined that the wedding will go ahead.

Alexandryu meets the Yozakura Family and preceeds to threaten them all with secrets of theirs that he would expose in Spy Day magazine. After all the siblings are crippled with embarrassment, Taiyo stops everything saying how they'll get to see Shinzo soon and they can rescue him after the wedding. Alexandryu leaves them and is thankful that Taiyo backed down as he was unable to get anything to blackmail Taiyo with, furthermore he knew that Taiyo knew that and he compliments him on his growth as a spy.

## Abilities and Skills

He was able to withstand an full powered punch from Taiyo using his hardening, which only a mild reaction.
* **Enhanced Memory**: Alexandryu has an incredible memory, stating it's his duty as editor-in-chief of SPY DAY to memorize an innumerable amount of personal details on everyone he knows, from the exact shade of color a person's eyes are to the size and shape of their body parts.

	+ **Reprinted Grudges** (蹂恨醜怠, *Juhan Shuttai*): A palm chop from Alexandryu in which he puts his whole body into. The slash is strong enough to crush diamonds.

## Weapons & Equipment

* **Notepad & Pen**: During fights, Alexandryu has been shown to pull out a notepad and pen before proceeding to jot down information on his opponents, this is due to his job as the editor-in-chief of SPY DAY and wanting to get a good story out of his encounters.

## Trivia

* His name is written as "Alexandryu" in the English translation of the series, but his daughter's is "Katana Alexand". This could possibly mean that his name is a mistranslation and should instead be "Ryu Alexand"
