Kyougoku Ryouta

Kyougoku (橋国 (きょうごく)) is the director of a private juvenile hall in Academy City.

Appearance
Kyougoku has dark hair in a slicked back, with a moustache and exposed forehead. He wears square framed glasses and a dark-colored uniform.

Personality
He has a high opinion of not only himself but also the facility he directs, and it is his arrogance that had him start the Jailbreak competition, believing that no esper, not even a Level 5, can complete the trial. He is also vain, designing robots that have his face stuck on them.

Jailbreaker Arc
During an interview about the soon-to-be-opened private juvenile hall, Kyougoku announced a jailbreak trial where espers could challenge the facility in order to search out vulnerabilities. He bragged that the company built defenses to hold even a Level 5 and that even if the likes of Tokiwadai Middle School gathered all of their students, he doubted they'd even breach the first wall.

When the challengers attempted to break through the outer wall, Kyougoku decided that it wouldn't be necessary to use the long-range jammer, but soon regretted it after coming back from getting a drink to find that the wall had been breached.
