Trivia

 * Riku can't handle being drunk, even though it takes a while for him to get drunk. Because of this, Riku tests his drinking limits. He can go the longest in the crew without getting drunk, easily surpassing Zoro. However when he gets drunk, he cannot handle it. (His limit is 2 days drinking straight)


 * Riku's favorite drink is Sake, and his favorite food is Sea King Meat. He personally hates cheese, he states this stems from something but it is unknown.


 * Riku Sleepsings, Sleepwalks, and Sleeptalks.


 * Riku has seen every one of his past and current crew members do their own special, embarrassing talent, whatever it may be, this does include Kure S. Akira,s singing. However he keeps it a secret that he's seen them.


 * Riku was the only one to see Akira's face even before his bounty poster came out.


 * Riku trains every day.


 * Due to Riku's name, many assume he has the Will of D, which causes them to call him Cielo instead of Riku. This one thing makes him mad, which causes a recurring gag in the story. However a few of his old and new crewmates would call him Cielo and it won't bug him. (Unless its Akira).


 * Riku mocks Akira for his height as "a lizard can't be as big and tall as a young hot sun"


 * Even though Riku and Akira are the equal in terms of fighting capability, Akira is thought to be stronger. This has made for a running gag, much to Riku's dismay.
