The word ryona (リョナ, ryona, a portmanteau of ryōki ("seeking the bizarre") and onanī ("masturbation")) refers to stories, drawings, games, etc. that feature female characters being defeated. The term is mostly used in connection to Japanese culture, although the theme itself is seen in many other cultures.

Essentially, imagine a game such as Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with a female protagonist, but instead of winning, she is defeated. The ryona genre graphically depicts her defeat. Though the defeated characters are often subject to severe physical or psychological harm, this is actually not strictly necessary - the defeat may be something as simple as suffering a cartoonish injury after being struck with a volleyball.

The term ryona almost exclusively refers to the action of a woman being defeated. In a case where the target is male, it is more commonly called "reverse ryona" (逆リョナ, gyaku-ryona).
