Phoenix "Nick" Wright, known as Ryūichi Naruhodō (Japanese: 成歩堂 龍一, Hepburn: Naruhodō Ryūichi) in the original Japanese language versions, is the fictional titular defense attorney and the protagonist in Ace Attorney, a visual novel adventure video game series created by Japanese company Capcom. Introduced in the 2001 game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix is a young rookie attorney who the player controls in several cases to protect the clients suspected of murder. While Phoenix is the main character in the first three games, he remains in a less prominent role in the second trilogy as he becomes a less active lawyer after an incident. The character has also appeared in film, anime, and manga adaptations of the series, a Japanese series of musicals and stage plays, as well as several crossover games.

Phoenix Wright was created by writer Shu Takumi, who wanted a character who would create contradictions in statements. While the series was meant to end with the third game, feedback from the fans resulted in an older Phoenix becoming a supporting character as an older person in the second trilogy. He eventually became playable, but without being that prominent when compared with his successor. Phoenix has received positive critical reception and has been described as a likeable character with a realistic profession. His mannerisms and character design have inspired many cosplayers. However, his more minor role in the second trilogy earned mixed responses for lacking his original appeal.
