He cares for innocent people, especially his team members and family. He also has a strong passion for soccer. However, due to Garshield Bayhan's control over his team, he has no choice but to follow his orders. When Garshield was arrested, he and everyone in the team is still worried since their parents work in Garshield's company, making their parents lose their jobs. After sometime, they realized that they were wrong and started to play their soccer.

Background[]
He and his team are threatened by Garshield making them play their fullest and Ronijo is an experiment subject—he used the same thing that was inserted to Demonio but a more dangerous version of it during the match against Inazuma Japan. He has no other choice but to listen or his parents and the parents of all of his team members will be fired from their jobs as their jobs is under Garshield's company.
Plot[]
In the FFI, his team defeated Rose Griffon in a 3-0 point and advanced on. Then the next team that his team is up against Inazuma Japan. He tried to convince Endou to lose on purpose because his teammates' families were being blackmailed by Garshield. As the match is about to start, it leads off as the whistle blows and Ronijo has somewhat gone 'dark' and dribbled the ball towards the goal. Apparently he was actually experimented by Garshield.
They were having a hard time in playing in the first half because of Garshield's experimentation on him.
They resolved it by helping Ronijo get a shoot by using the Amazon River Wave Hissatsu Tactic that was thought by Leonardo, then he passed the ball to Ronijo and said that he shouldn't lose to the program that was inside him, though they are still having problems. Eventually Garshield got arrested, but they are all still worried because there families will lose there jobs because they work in Garshield's company that is why they kept passing the ball and not shooting during the second half. But after sometime with Hijikata's explaining and Lagarto's little brother also stating that he wants to see everyone happy and their true soccer returned. Everyone started to attack with individual defense with Ronijo showing how they do their soccer, most of The Kingdom's Hissatsu evolved and Inazuma Japan can't pass through their Hissatsu Tactics. In the end they lost to Inazuma Japan 3-2, but they were thankful for Endou and the others for freeing them from Garshield, and making their true soccer come back, and for having an intense and great match, they hope to see Endou and the others again.

In the mid-2000's, Brazil and Ronaldinho's playstyle were often referred to as "samba football," which Ronijo reflects both the dance and football meaning of samba.
His shadowed sprite depicts him wearing The Kingdom's goalkeeper uniform rather than the field uniform.
