His pen name means Dragon Knight 07. Dragon Knight is one of the jobs from FFV for SNES, known as the "Dragoon" job in the English fan translation. The 07 is a reference to Reina (known as Lenna in the fan translation), his waifu from FFV. If you observe the SPRITES of Lenna and Bartz (the main protagonist who is a hotheaded goof like K1), they are clearly the inspiration for Rena and Keiichi's designs. Their personalities are very similar too.

I said sprites because the official art for those characters in an incongruous emo mess that makes no fucking sense and doesn't fit the game sprites, their personalities or even the goofy tone of the game. There is a crappy GBA version that puts the ugly ass artwork in the game and it's a constant source of visual and tonal dissonance in every line of dialog.

So basically, Ryuukishi based Reina from Leaf Fight on his FF waifu, made Reina into a Higurashi character when he decided to turn Bus Stop into a full-fledged sound novel, and even made her part of his pen name. Never underestimate a waifufag. This is why Rena appears in the RGD results screen and the Ciconia title screen, she's his favorite OC based on his waifu.

I have inserted Kairi in half of my creative projects, so I must be an even worse waifufag myself.
