**Ryuuji Kuroi** (黒井 竜司, *Kuroi Ryūji*?), also known by his true name, the **Incubus King Papiyas**, (淫魔王パーピーヤス, *Inmaō Pāpīyasu*?) was introduced as a student of the Seishu Academy and the son of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshima Kuroi, his real identity being Darius. In reality, he was the true mastermind behind all of the events and the consequences that dwelled throughout much of the installments of the *Mahou Kaiju Series*, especially those involving the disappearance and search for Shiranui Mizuki. Because of these revelations about him, Ryuuji would become one of the most dangerous and powerful adversaries of the *Mahou Kaiju Series*, making sporadic appearances in the series' final installments before becoming the main antagonist of the fifth-to-final film *Tatsura and Wataru*.

## Appearance

In his human form, Ryuuji is a tall attractive man with dark skin, silver hair that reaches up to his neck and reddish-brown eyes. He is usually wearing a black suit with a white underneath it.

His demon form is a black winged Lovecraftian monster. Standing at around 10 Meters, with two horns, giant hands with sharply tapered fingers. On his back, bat-like wings that tapered to sharp points at the end. As well as tentacles coming from his mouth stretching from it. A tail which split into two partway down thicker and longer than any snake.

## Personality

In contrast to his attractive appearance, Ryuuji is a very rude and disrespectful person who demands and gets what he wants. He is also possessive of women, when it is shown that he wants to have Rinko all for herself. Despite being a delinquent, Ryuji is part of the scholarship department, which was only reserved for students who had done exceptionally well on their academics. Many assume Ryuuji got in because he was apparently related to the headmaster, but that is far from the truth.

As leader of the Sindicate of Moonless Night, the last remaining major incubi-led faction in the Underworld, the Incubus King Papiyas desired nothing more than have the entire realm to himself by promising the incubi and succubi to serve by his side and overthrow all other rival demon factions, such as Edwin Black and his organization NOMAD. However, as time passed, his megalomania grew bigger, as his ambitions soon expanded to the conquest of the human world as well, to finally the original plan of the ancient incubus faction: summoning the Darkness Itself, the primordial embodiment of darkness and evil, to annihilate the entire universe and recreate a new world where incubi and succubi would inhabit and rule, with him as the absolute ruler.

Papiyas was tolerant and somewhat attentive to the needs of his subordinates, giving them rewards for their success or just for their unyielding loyalty, such as whenever he would reward his favorite concubine and "Queen" Shiranui Mizuki for accomplishing the tasks given to her. Another example of his upholding his bargain to his servants was when he offered the two Nazis-turned-demons Count Brocken, a former general of the Mycenaean Empire, and Marshal Hidler, a clone of Adolf Hitler who became an oni, joined and then defected from the Hyakki Empire, to serve him. And if they remained loyal, when the universe would be destroyed by the Nanashi-no-Yami, he would spare Brocken and Hidler, along with their "Aryan race", (basically humans whom the two would personally select to spare and serve by their side) as the only humans in the new world, so that they could build their long-desired "Fourth Reich" as he promised he'd let them do and intended to hold onto that agreement, which got some irritation from other loyal commanders in the faction like Gejisuki, who disliked that kind of offer being given to humans.

Likewise, just as he was kind to loyal and successful offshoots, he was also just as cruel and merciless to and punish disloyal and/or defeated servants to death, as he would not tolerate weakness, failure and insubordination within his group, even to those of his own blood, best exemplified when he murdered his own father Darius the Hellbourne after being defeated, had his plan foiled by and barely survived in his battle against the Taimanin and Grandwalkers.

## Background

### Tatsura vs. Hellbourne

Ryuuji is introduced as a third-year student at the Seishu Academy, who is a part of the scholarship department. He is stated to be a delinquent and is apparently related to the school's headmaster, Shigeru Washizu. During the events of the film, Rinko Akiyama, as part of her and Yukikaze's mission, was assigned to be his maid, as students from the scholarship department are given a maid or a butler.

After the defeat of Darius, it was revealed to the heroes that he has been the one controlling Nobunaga Oda, Muneichi Yazaki, Real, Shigeru and Darius' actions. He was the one who resurrected Nobunaga over a decade ago, commissioned Yazaki and Real to cause Shiranui's disappearance, has kept the woman as his personal slave after they failed him and ultimately drove the already-chaotic "Neo-Sengoku Era" out of control. It comes as no wonder at this point why Ryuuji is able to get away with so much, like taking advantage of his father's position as Prime Minister and using that to surpass Shigeru as the actual boss of the campus, and still keep himself hidden. After a brief yet difficult battle against him, Ryuuji escapes, with Tatsurou, Yukikaze and the others vowing to make the monster pay for his crimes. He encounters his defeated and injured father Darius who pleads to save him. Instead, he mercilessly murders his own father, saying he has no sympathy for a weakling, even those of his own blood.

## Abilities

As a Forbidden God, leader of the Incubus Faction and the mastermind behind several events revolving Shiranui's disappearance, the Incubus King proved to be one of the most dangerous adversaries the Taimanin ever faced, around the same level as other high-powered demons such as Edwin Black, Omorfia Astaroth and Teutates.
