Gouken, the master of Ryu and Ken, learned the lethal Shotokan karate techniques from its founder, Goutetsu, alongside his brother Akuma. Yet, in contrast to both his sibling and his teacher, Gouken detested the violence intrinsic to the style. While Akuma fully adopted the Dark Hadou, Gouken developed a modified version of Shotokan that focused on self-defense, self-improvement, and personal cultivation. Gouken was slain by his brother Akuma in a fight to the death.
