Ryoko Asakura is a major antagonist in the light novel and anime series Haruhi Suzumiya. She is a humanoid interface who was sent by the Data Overmind to watch over Haruhi Suzumiya, much like Yuki Nagato. Unlike Yuki, however, Ryoko is a very cold and callous being despite her cheerful exterior, even trying to kill Kyon with the hopes of triggering Haruhi.

She is also the main antagonist of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

She is voiced by Natsuno Kuwatani in the Japanese version of the anime and Bridget Hoffman in the English version, the latter of whom also voices Namie Yagiri.

Ryoko Asakura was the most popular girl in school according to Taniguchi, achieving her A++ score for her personality, beauty, and athleticism during Grade 11 in his ranking system. She is well-liked among her peers and makes various attempts to reach out the difficult Haruhi Suzumiya. When Kyon starts to befriend Haruhi over the year, Ryoko is ecstatic and encourages him to make her open up more.

Unknown to Kyon, Haruhi, and the entire school, Ryoko, along with Yuki Nagato and Emiri Kimidori, are actually aliens sent by the Integrated Data Thought Entity to monitor and observe the reality-warping abilities of Haruhi. Ryoko quickly grows bored of their normal human interactions and thinks that if she were to kill Kyon, Haruhi would have a reaction she would have never seen before.

In the afternoon, Ryoko pulls out a combat knife to kill Kyon while calmly explaining her intentions. While still attacking Kyon, Ryoko creates a personal dimension in order to kill him with no interruptions. However, Yuki intervenes and later assists Kyon in the battle. Yuki sustains several blows and nearly loses her physical form, but converts a massive amount of her own power into sending a request to her masters that ends with Ryoko being terminated herself. Defeated, Ryoko fades away and congratulates the pair, but promises that her masters may soon change their views through Yuki.

In The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya arc, she is the main antagonist, Ryoko is resurrected as a human and acts as Yuki's friend in the alternate universe (which was created when Yuki stole Haruhi's powers and remade the universe into a normal one). She acts just like she did before, but with no malice behind her kindness. When Kyon decides to return things to how they were, Yuki inadvertently summons Ryoko back to protect her, but now with the mindset of her old self. She manages to wound Kyon when he tries to inject the uninstallation program for the human Yuki. Ryoko was about to deliver the death-blow but was stopped by a Yuki from the future when she time-travels back with Kyon and the younger Mikuru. From that point on, Ryoko then declares Kyon as her prey.
