Riz

Riz is a brown bear student at Cherryton Academy in BEASTARS, known among his peers for his calm and approachable demeanor. Bound by legal regulations, he takes medication daily to suppress his extraordinary physical power. Beneath this trustworthy exterior, however, lies a deeply unsettling secret: Riz is the true culprit behind the school's predation incident, having devoured his close friend Tem. What makes him particularly chilling is his belief that this act of violence was not a crime, but rather a profound spiritual union — the ultimate expression of their bond. As the primary antagonist driving the story's early revelations, Riz forces protagonist Legoshi into a fierce confrontation over predatory instinct and moral responsibility.
