Takayuki Ryou (隆行遼) is humanoid robot of unknown function and origin. Their name means “moving to distant heights”. They fly through space, alone, traveling from one planet to another. Their intention is unknown, however they have been known to sing. Is this something they were programmed to do? Perhaps they came from or have been engrossed in a society where its inhabitants sing to each other? Ryou’s voice seems to calm those around it, as well as themself.
隆行 (Takayuki) means “moving to heights”. 遼 (Ryou) means “distant”. Together, their name means “moving to distant heights”.

BREATHS: Ryou’s voicebank contains several different inhaling samples, as well as breath-endings. Inhales can be activated by labelling a note as “br”, “br1”, “br2”, and “br3”, while breath-endings are activated by labelling a note as “H”.
GLOTTAL STOPS: Glottal stops are also included in this voicebank. These can add a bit of edge to the voice. These samples can be activated by adding a “GS” marker to the note’s label. (eg. “GSa”, “GSe”, etc)
VOCAL FRY β: Ryou’s vocal fry can add even more edge to the voice. This can be activated by adding a “VF” marker to the note’s label. (eg. “VFa”, “VFe”, etc)
