Ryoma is the eldest son of Sumeragi and Ikona and the eldest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. Crown Prince of Hoshido

Igasato is a nation in Hoshido with a longstanding alliance with the main country. It is well known for producing Ninja who often work for the Hoshidan army and as bodyguards for the Royal Family. Training for most starts at a young age with children often being brought along missions to give them real-world training. Its people are also self-sufficient, with children being called to help out with harvests. They also prefer warm, simple and lightly seasoned food. Boiled riverfish is a specialty dish of the nation, and each village appears to have their own take on it.

The Kingdom of Hoshido was founded by humans loyal to the Dawn Dragon, who granted them land and its blood so they could harness the Dragon's Vein. The Hoshidan capital encircles Castle Shirasagi, home of the royal family. Hoshido is located east of Nohr and the Bottomless Canyon, and north of Izumo and Mokushu. At least two tribes, the Wind Tribe and the Kitsune, make their homes within Hoshidan territory. Pegasi and Kinshi can only be found in Hoshido.

In contrast to the barren, blighted lands of Nohr, Hoshido benefits from fair, sunny weather, resulting in plentiful food supplies, to the point where there is more than enough to feed the the combined populations of both Hoshido and Nohr. This bounty means almost no one in Hoshido wants for anything, and crime is rare. The Hoshidan monarchs rule fairly and justly, and are loved by their people.

The line of succession seems to favor the men of the royal family, regardless of who is older sibling or not. In case of death or defection of the all male members, the crown goes to the oldest sister, and if either sibling is too young to rule, the queen-mother succeeds the king as the ruling monarch.

The Hoshidan Army primarily consists of skilled infantry who specialize in various fields, such as Swordmasters and Snipers. The Hoshidan army does make use of flying mounts in the form of pegsai and kinshis, but not cavalry. As the nation is themed after feudal Japan, the Hoshidan Army makes use of katanas, clubs, naginatas, yumis, scrolls and rods.

In contrast to his brother Kaze, who is very calm, Saizo is brash and temperamental. He often expects high standards when it comes to serving the kingdom, as shown in his initial support with Kagero where he tells the recruits that they must fight and die for their kingdomIn contrast to his brother Kaze, who is very calm, Saizo is brash and temperamental. He often expects high standards when it comes to serving the kingdom, as shown in his initial support with Kagero where he tells the recruits that they must fight and die for their kingdomHe also becomes very frenetic when provoked, experiencing tremendous surges of passion that compel him to behave irrationally.Saizo has also been shown to be extremely cold and unfriendly towards people whom he is unfamiliar with, a fact that extends towards his allies. This is not without a cause, however; given his occupation as both a spy and one of two personal bodyguards of Ryoma, it is thus important for him to maintain a hostile attitude as a measure of caution.However, he will acknowledge them properly if they have proven themselves to be friendlyIn contrast to Saizo's anti-social behavior is the fact that he becomes exceedingly shy to the point of becoming embarrassed and flustered when he is teased or shown affection. Saizo is also known to have a caring heart, although he goes to great lengths to disguise it. This is demonstrated in a support with Corrin where they are carrying heavy things and Saizo goes out of his way to help. He tries to mask the good deed as only having done it because of his "honor", but quickly gets embarrassed for showing his soft, caring side. He hates sweets the most out of everyone in the army, though he does make an occasional exception.

Saizo and his younger twin brother Kaze are members of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations, and where it is custom for firstborn sons to take on the name Saizo. Their father, Saizo the Fourth, was killed by Kotaro in an unexplained incident. At an unstated point of time, he infiltrated Mokushu believing they played a part in his father's death. Although he managed to confirm his suspicions, he failed to assassinate him and lost his eye in the process.

Similar to Kaze, Saizo is endowed with good looks that are considered attractive by women. Disliking the attention that his facial features can potentially attract, he conceals his face with a mask.

In Saizo's supports with his fellow retainer Kagero, it is revealed that the pair were once lovers at one point in the past. However, they were unable to reconcile their differences and thus chose to give up their relationship and instead dedicate themselves to serving Hoshido.
