"Take a look out there! If those ain't zombies, then what would you call 'em?"

—Ryan LaRosa, on zombies

Ryan LaRosa is a victim appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

He was found in the Entrance Plaza of the Willamette Parkview Mall. He was killed when Lindsay Harris removed the barricades and allowed the zombies to break into the plaza.

Introduction

Main article: 72 Hour Mode (Dead Rising)

Ryan is first seen taking command in erecting a barricade at the Entrance Plaza with Chris Hines and Freddie May. When Frank West walks into the plaza from the Security Room and gazes upon Isabela Keyes, Ryan snaps at Frank and explains the zombie outbreak to him, then orders him to scavenge for items to add to the barricade.

When Lindsay breaches the barricade and allows the zombies to flood into the plaza, he is killed along with all the other survivors in the Entrance Plaza.

Trivia

• In the Introduction cutscene, he is seen carrying a Propane Tank to the barricade. However, after the cutscene, the Propane Tank is nowhere to be seen.
• After the cutscene of the zombies entering, he can be seen back toward the fountain. He has no green health bar on him, making it impossible to "save" him.
• There is no on-screen notification of Ryan's death after the introduction cutscene in the Entrance Plaza ends.
• Ryan seems to act as the leader of the survivors in the Entrance Plaza.
• He is the first character to use the word "Zombies" in the series.
• Some zombies share his face model.
• The voice actor for Ryan is Bill Farmer, who also voices Cletus Samson, Floyd Sanders, and Jeff Meyer. Bill Farmer is best known for voicing Goofy and Pluto in the Mickey Mouse series.
• He is one of the few characters from the first game to have their voices in Dead Rising 4, along with Lindsay.
  • This is heard through Frank's Nightmare at the beginning of the game.
