Ringo Hōjō

, also known as, is a freshman from Ishiyama High School, formerly the second leader of the Red Tail. She eventually began attending Majōgari Academy, where at some point, she formed the "Reborn Red Tail" with other former members of the all-female gang. She is one of the "Three Kings", most likely #5, as #4 and #6 are Akahoshi and Ichikawa (not necessarily in that order).

Appearance
Ringo is a young woman with a slender but very lean build.

She has neck-length hair that is mostly flat and straight, except for the hair that runs down the nape of her neck, which is more loose and flowing. Ringo also possesses dark and narrow eyes which have long but prominent eyelashes.

Ringo also appears to be fond of makeup and other accessories. She wears dark mascara on her thick eyelashes, and she also particularly wears lipstick, though it appears that Ringo tends to discard it occasionally. Ringo moreover occasionally has a dark blush on her cheeks. Her fingernails are also long and painted with a dark nail polish.

Ringo appears much differently in a flashback recalled by Nene Ōmori. Her hair is styled in a spiky ponytail and she appears to be wearing a dark coat, which moreover has a fur collar.

Her initial outfit consists of a dark tube top. She retains her signature coat, however.

Her signature clothing consists of a long, light-colored coat. Her coat has pockets on the fronts, patches on the shoulders, and an unusual collar that is tall and has a curved section connecting to the lapels below. The back of her coat bears the kanji for "Red Tail". Underneath, she generally wears a light-colored shirt with an upturned collar and several unclosed buttons, which consequently reveals her ample cleavage and even parts of her dark brassiere. Ringo wears a long, dark skirt that reaches her ankles. To complete this outfit, she has dark knee-high socks topped with high-heeled pumps, which are predominately light-colored and patterned with a series of dark lines except for the dark heel.

Ringo is often seen with a cigarette in her mouth.

Personality
Ringo is noteworthy for being a lewd seductress, blatantly pulling down her shirt and removing a little of her coat before Tatsumi Oga's physical body, despite having just met him personally. She proceeds to ask him to "spend time with her" and then to "go with her" elsewhere. Ringo uses her charms to a greater advantage particularly with Oga, where, after successfully "seducing" him, she restrains his body, only to then state that she will pleasure herself while she is giving him a similar sensation, which indicates a more lustful side to her personality. Furthermore, Ringo appears to have a knack for identifying others' sexual weaknesses, as shown when she taunts Aoi by suggesting that she removes Oga's clothing bit-by-bit.

However, Ringo's true personality is much more controlling and demeaning, something that has led her to being called a "witch" by former acquaintances. She demonstrates a high amount of self-confidence given her words which are particularly supported by her constant intimidation, when confronted with rebellion. To prove her points, she often strikes and verbally degrades others to remind them that she is the more superior individual regardless of who they are, women or babies; towards the latter, Ringo appears to have a general dislike for children. Ringo appears to enjoy bringing discomfort and terror towards her opponents; she initially gives Aoi an ultimatum to choose between her love interest or former subordinates, knowing her weaknesses, only to then force her to fight one of them for the other's safety.

She also certainly possesses a particular amount of cunning, having successfully predicted Aoi's reaction when approached with the thought that Nene is not a worthy leader of the Red Tail, later smiling when she discovers that Aoi is submitting to her hostage plan.

History
At some point, while still a student in Ishiyama High School, Ringo became the second leader of the Red Tail. The position was later given to Aoi Kunieda, however, and Ringo was no longer associated with the gang. She later started attending Majōgari Academy where she came to affiliate herself with the "Reborn Red Tail". Later, in the semester following Ishiyama's second reconstruction, Ringo returned to her former high school.

Return to Ishiyama High School
Ringo and the other "Reborn Red Tail" girls approach Aoi Kunieda on their first day back in the infamous delinquent high school. Ringo pleasantly greets her successor before asking why she is not properly dressed as the Red Tail leader. However, after some time, she and the others attack Aoi, though it appears that she has only sustained minor injuries following.

The following day, Ringo stands in the hallways when she sees Tatsumi Oga running up to her, unaware that his true self is currently residing in another body. Nonetheless, as she slowly begins to recognize his face, she begins removing parts of her clothing and asking him to spend time with her. However, she then notices several male delinquents eying them, particularly herself, from afar; with that in mind, she blushes wildly and breathlessly while she then asks whether Oga would like to go elsewhere, which he immediately agrees to do.

They eventually move to a more broken-down and desolate area where Ringo succeeds in binding and gagging Oga. She later receives a cell phone call from the "Reborn Red Tail" informing her about Aoi's visit. Satisfied, Ringo then tells them about the prediciment she is currently in, before hanging up the call. She then walks over to a tearful Oga and states that she will take great pleasure in making him feel very good.

However, before she can do so, Ringo calls Aoi to inform her about what she has done to Oga's body. She later notes that Aoi has gone silent though her successor eventually speaks up, asking about Ringo's conditions; when Ringo hears this, she smiles in satisfaction, then telling Aoi that they will need to fight.

Sometime later, Aoi and Baby Beel approach an awaiting Ringo. Ringo starts getting up and lights a cigarette to smoke. As she smokes, she remarks that Aoi has changed, seeing as she has Oga's child with her; then, after Ringo receives a retorted comment, she slaps Aoi and reminds her that she is the one at mercy. Ringo then changes the topic of discussion by exposing Oga's half-naked body before Aoi and making suggestive remarks. However, the situation returns to being tense following an outburst from Baby Beel's mouth, causing Ringo to slap him away; following another nasty remark, she is told that her reign as a leader is over, subsequently leading to the two girls' battle.

Ringo has them fight one another using wooden swords and, much to Aoi's surprise, reveals that she is a very capable swordswoman after a handful of successful swings. With Aoi at her knees, she then insults her successor before she gives her an ultimatum, forcing her to choose between Oga's or the Red Tail's safety. Ringo quickly changes her proposal, however, after the rest of the "Reborn Red Tail" return with Nene and the other girls, all heavily beaten; rather than choose, she forces Aoi to fight either Oga or Nene for the other's safety, or otherwise be beaten with the rest. When Aoi remains silent, she is taunted again by Ringo, who then aims to slash at her with the wooden sword; however, to Ringo's surprise, Baby Beel kicks the weapon out of her hand.

Powers & Abilities
Swordsmanship: Ringo is a skilled swordswoman comparable to Aoi Kunieda. She wields her wooden sword solely in her right hand though she still manages to deflect oncoming attacks with accuracy, even dealing her own offensive moves in an instance.

Equipment
Cell Phone: Ringo possesses a dark, rectangular cell phone with modern technology features.

Lighter: Ringo has a lighter which she uses to light her cigarettes.

Cigarette: Being a smoker, she possesses at least one cigarette in her inventory.

Aoi Kunieda
Ringo is quite familiar with Aoi having been the leader of the Red Tail before her. However, Ringo is more well-acquainted with Aoi than it is vice-versa; she successfully predicts how she would react to the thought that Nene is an incapable leader, knows about her particular fighting style, knows about her specific weaknesses, and even knows her cell phone number. Ringo uses her extensive knowledge about Aoi against her during their fight where she later gives Aoi an ultimatum, Oga or the Red Tail.

Ringo regards herself as being superior than Aoi and openly taunts her.

Tatsumi Oga
Ringo holds a considerable interest in Oga, bordering on attraction and lust, even going as far as to slightly strip and make suggestive moves against his body. Later, after successfully holding him as her hostage, she later states that she will pleasure himself in giving him the same amount of satisfaction.
