Trivia Edit

• Ryu has been credited by Bryan Konietzko as the one who conceived fartbending, an airbending technique employed by Tenzin and Pema's son, Meelo.^[1]
• Ryu's creative insight has been influencing the Avatar franchise for far longer than the beginning of Legend of Korra: he created the original character design of Jet,^[2] suggesting that he has had a part in the show since quite early in production.
• Interestingly, Ryu's name has been worded as "Ryu Ki Hyun" by Konietzko on occasion,^[1] likely in concern to Ryu's Korean origin; Korean names are spoken in a surname, then given name format.
