Ryō Utagawa

Ryō Utagawa (宇田川 稜, Utagawa Ryō) was Kariya's former right hand man until he tried to overthrow him as a Bount leader.

Character outline
Utagawa looks much like the traditional depictions of a vampire, and views all humans as food. His doll is Fried, a snake-like creature that can copy itself. He secretly plots to overthrow Kariya as leader by stealing his seal, but is killed by Maki Ichinose.

Doll
Fried (フリード Furīdo, Old German for "protection") is Ryō Utagawa's doll. When sealed, it takes the form of a small, gold pocket watch that Ryō keeps on his person. When unsealed, it takes the form of a yellow snake and is usually wrapped around Ryo's shoulders. She can be used as a sword, shield, and whip. Fried also grants Ryō the power to turn objects in the shape of lines such as pipes, ropes and cracks on roads into snakes. Also, Fried has the ability to create seals all around an area that Ryō is standing. These symbols disapper and reappear whereever his enemy steps causing massive pillars of snakes to appear like a spike from the ground. This is presumed to be a trap like ability to narrow the field of battle and keep them in offering only two options: attack or retreat.
