I bet it'd be easier to get free rides if he fell in the Drowned Girl spring...

Ah Ryouga, the character with the worst sense of direction in the history of anime.

Indeed, I actually know someone who I could accurately describe as having a "Hibiki Ryouga" style sense of direction.
It was actually rather scary watching her try to navigate...

Not a her per se, but Masaki Ando is just about Ryouga-level in terms of getting lost. That Cybuster pilot can even get lost in a guided tour.

@Astana: That's why he never found Shu :))

I used to have a girlfriend who could get lost going to the bathroom. Also, she had to take a taxi to go to a place 3 blocks from ehr home.

I think she qualifies as a Ryouga type.

Zoro from One Piece also has abysmal directional sense... it just isn't played for more than the occasional laugh rather than being a focus point to his character.
