Ryu's best friend and the sole son of the extremely wealthy Masters family. He resides in San Francisco with his parents in a vast mansion (the drive from the front yard to the main house takes 20 minutes). He also dedicates significant time to training, though not as much as Ryu. Ken rides a motorcycle. His mother is Japanese. Ken later learns to harness the power of Hadou while held captive by Shadowlaw. Only Ryu knows the Hadoken, whereas both he and Ken know the Shoryuken. Ken subsequently upgrades the Shoryuken to the Hadou Shoryuken, and then shortens it to the Hadou Shoryu. Interestingly, in the English dub, Ken still referred to the move as Shoryuken, while Ryu used its English translation: Rising Dragon Punch.
