Ryu is the protagonist of Capcom's Street Fighter series. A martial artist who travels the world in search of true strength, continuously practicing and challenging opponents stronger than himself. Trained under Gouken in Ansatsuken (Assassin's Fist), adapted into a non-lethal fighting style. He embodies discipline and perseverance, overcoming inner turmoil like the Satsui no Hado (wave of murderous intent) to pursue a higher path. Known for signature moves like Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Polite and humble, Ryu respects worthy foes and dedicates his life to self-improvement through combat.
