“	If you don’t want to lose to guys with bigger bodies, you should just train as many times harder.	”
	— Ryousuke to Kijima

Kominato Ryousuke was a student of Seidou High School and is the older brother of Kominato Haruichi. He was formerly the baseball team's second baseman and one half of Seidou's Keystone Duo.

Character

Ryousuke is quite confident in himself. He is strict to others but he trains himself much more. He is especially strict to his younger brother among all of the kouhais. He looks gentle but has quite a sharp tongue.

Yet he is lighthearted towards his fellow third years and also a very reliable and considerate classmate as well. He is also very strong willed as he would push himself more and more if that took them closer to Nationals and he has a dark sense of humor.

Relationships

Kominato Haruichi

Haruichi is Ryousuke's younger brother. While Ryousuke often expressed that being an elder brother was troublesome, he still cares for Haruichi. Although their relationship seems strained at first with Ryousuke mocking Haruichi for his lack of stamina, he starts helping Haruichi from time to time as the series progresses. Ryousuke comes to entrust Haruichi with his position during the Inashiro and Seidou match, and has occasionally implied that Haruichi may progress far more in baseball than him in the future. When they were younger, it is revealed that the Kominato brothers were much closer. Ryousuke was very protective of Haruichi, defending him from bullies even at his own expense.

Kuramochi Youichi

They are considered two of the best middle infielders in the area. Kuramochi and Ryousuke share a close bond, having a close understanding of what each other is doing when fielding. Despite routinely insulting Kuramochi in his first year, Ryousuke came to trust him deeply as his partner in baseball. Kuramochi was the first person to notice Ryousuke's injured right leg before the Inashiro and Seidou match; in turn, Ryousuke allowed himself to be called out by Kuramochi despite having hidden his injury from everyone else on the team, proving the amount of trust he places in his "year-long partner." They are revealed to still be in touch even after Ryousuke has graduated, hinting that they have a close relationship even outside the field.

Abilities

Ryousuke is quite confident in himself, being nothing but self-assured on the field, but on the other hand, he puts more effort than anyone during practice and games. Together with Kuramochi, they are considered to be two of the best middle infielders in the area.
