Ryan "Sumo" Sumouski is one of the three main protagonists (More as a deuteragonist) in Clarence. He is one of Clarence's best friends.
Personality
Sumo is a scrappy, streetwise kid who grew up on the right side of the wrong side of the tracks. When problems arise, Sumo's solutions are unorthodox and often messy. A wild card and fearless to a fault, Sumo is unpredictable, independent, and often acts without thinking things all the way through. Sumo is fiercely loyal to his friends, and always available. Jeff and Sumo are polar opposites, but Clarence bridges the gap between them. Sumo is the instinctual third of this trio. However in the episode, "Chimney", it is shown that he is quite handy as he is able to build a ladder out of sticks and shoe laces.
Appearance
Sumo used to have long, brassy hair, but asked Clarence to cut it, as shown in the "Pilot". He currently has no hair at all, except for several strands. He has a big forehead, small, and somewhat crooked teeth, with spaces in between some, and has big eyes and big pupils as well. Sumo wears a black t-shirt, cut-off jean shorts, and dark red boots.
In Season 3, he wears a West Aberdale Elementary uniform, which it consists forest green short sleeve shirt and khaki pants, but Sumo cut them short to look closer to his old clothing.
