Matachi Ryo (又地 諒) is a plumber and Unlimited Cliffer No. 2.

His first appearance was in SASUKE 21, where he was the third fastest qualifier in the SASUKE 21 Trials. During the tournament, he showed great speed, clearing many of the obstacles quickly, including the Jumping Spider. On the Soritatsu Kabe, he was able to scale the wall on his second attempt. However, on the Flying Chute, he was able to grab the rope but couldn't reach the net and fell into the water there. Out of the eight qualifiers that day, he made it the farthest.

He participated in the SASUKE 22 Trials, but did not make it past the 800m race part of the first round.

He finally returned to competition during SASUKE 25 by winning the pull up event in the Trials, with a result of 42 pull-ups. He drew #6 in the lottery and was the first real threat to the First Stage. He was the first to attempt and beat the new Bridge Jump. However, he mis-hit the springboard on the re-designed Circle Slider and fell there.

Due to his past performance, he was invited to SASUKE 26, failing the Rolling Escargot in an all-cut performance.

He earned a spot in SASUKE 27 after qualifying from the trials. Although he took 2 attempts at the Warped Wall, He cleared the First Stage for the first time. In the Second Stage, he struggled on the Wall Lifting and eventually went under the third wall after barely lifting it. He still cleared with 3.43 seconds left. In the Third Stage, he would clear all the obstacles with ease and became the first person to make it to the Final Stage after Urushihara Yuuji's Kanzenseiha, and more impressively the first person to clear both the Second and Third Stage on his first attempt on those specific stages since Urushihara Yuuji in SASUKE 22. In the Final Stage, he climbed about 18.8 meters up the Tsuna Nobori before timing out.

Matachi lost his job prior to SASUKE 28 but was able to clear the first stage with 1.47 seconds remaining, being one of only five to do so. On the Second Stage, he easily cleared the Swap Salmon Ladder and Unstable Bridge, however he wasted almost 20 seconds drying his hands and applying adhesive spray before the Spider Walk and was majorly slowed down by the Backstream. He reached the Passing Wall with around 20 seconds left, however as he was lifting the wall the 10 second buzzer sounded causing him to attempt to hurry and duck under, however due to the new design of the first wall it crushed him underneath, causing him to get stuck and time out there. This was a strange defeat, as all the competitors that cleared that stage in that tournament finished with over 10 seconds left. Matachi would clear the First Stage again in SASUKE 29, however met a similar fate in the Second Stage. He completed the first four obstacles with much more speed than before and finishing the Spider Walk with 35 seconds left, however on the Backstream that he had trouble with in the previous tournament but was now much more difficult, the opposing force from the water jets pushed him back halfway, and he was unable to complete the obstacle, timing out there.

After the tournament, Matachi tweeted on Twitter that he was hospitalized with a lung issue called Pneumothorax from too much training underwater. It took 3 weeks and an operation for him to be released.

After SASUKE 29, he flew to the USA alongside Asa Kazuma, Kanno Hitoshi, Yamamoto Shingo, and Urushihara Yuuji and represented Team Japan in the American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. Japan special. There, he ran the Second Stage up against Brian Arnold but lost the match when he failed the Double Salmon Ladder and Brian cleared the stage. Then, he ran the Third Stage. He was yet again up against Brian Arnold, but this time, both of them failed at the second rung of the Flying Bar. However, Ryo won the match when he made it to the second rung slightly faster than Brian did. This was the only match in the whole event won by Team Japan. NBC nicknamed him the Superfan because he was a fan of SASUKE since he was in 6th grade.

In SASUKE 30, he cleared the First Stage in over 30 seconds. Then, in the Second Stage he ravaged the Backstream and the Walls and cleared it. In the Third Stage he passed every obstacle with ease and even went on to beat the Crazy Cliffhanger and Pipe Slider seeking his 2nd attempt on the Final Stage, becoming one of only six competitors to do so (others being Nagano Makoto, Urushihara Yuuji, Omori Akira, Yamamoto Shingo and Morimoto Yusuke). In the Final Stage he cleared the Spider Climb with a lot of time but would come up short to Kanzenseiha.

Usually he supports on Urushihara Yuuji in every tournament.

In SASUKE 31, he was given the coveted number 100 but timed out at the Soritatsu Kabe directly after both 98 (Nagano Makoto) and 99 (Urushihara Yuuji) suffered the same fate. This was evidently due to the previous new obstacle, the Tackle which he struggled with, and even resulted in him taking a 20 second break before attempting to scale the wall, which he then failed to complete due to exhaustion. This was Ryo's worst performance since SASUKE 26, where he went out on the Rolling Escargot.

In SASUKE 32, he wore the number 90. He had little trouble on the first few obstacles, completing the TIE Fighter and Double Pendulum that took out several other veterans, however fate repeated itself from the previous tournament. He once again struggled with the Tackle, which was now heavier than previously. It took him almost 30 seconds to complete the obstacle, by which point he was low on both energy and time. He took several attempts at the Soritatsu Kabe before finally completing it, however this used up yet more time and so he timed out before he could attempt the Tarzan Rope.

In SASUKE 33, Matachi was given his lowest number since his last Final Stage appearance, with 88, he was taken out by the Fish Bone, a result which saw his first non-timeout defeat since SASUKE 26 and his third consecutive First Stage failure.

His streak of consecutive First Stage failures continue on SASUKE 34, where he failed the Double Pendulum when he didn't get enough distance to the trapeze bar. His run was once again digested.

Matachi returned for SASUKE 35, wearing #73, his lowest number since SASUKE 27. He again timed out on the Soritatsu Kabe, thus failing the First Stage for the 5th straight time

In SASUKE 36, he finally managed to clear the First Stage for the first time since SASUKE 30 with 7 seconds left. He also cleared the Second Stage with 3 seconds left. In the Third Stage,he would produce one of the most iconic moments in SASUKE history,when he almost failed to transfer from the second ledge to the third ledge of the Ultra Crazy Cliffhanger,but made an incredible recovery by grabbing the ledge with only 1 of his hands.Unfortunately,He would end up failing the Vertical Limit after making it to the final ledge. This was the first time that he had failed the Third Stage
