Ryuu

リュウ

Ryu is a primary character in Capcom's Street Fighter franchise (and serves as one of the company's mascot figures), embodying the classic fighting game hero. He has featured in every Street Fighter title and in crossover games developed with Capcom's involvement.
Ryu fits the archetype of the wandering warrior, existing solely for combat. He disregards victory or defeat, valuing instead the opportunity to fight and learn, with a primary focus on his own spiritual and physical development.
While his backstory differs across anime adaptations, it remains consistent within the game series. The fundamental narrative is always the same: Ryu is an orphan adopted by Gouken, a master of Ansatsuken, and trained alongside his future best friend, Ken Masters. After Gouken is killed by Akuma (known as Gouki in Japanese versions), Ryu pursues revenge against Akuma while competing in various tournaments in the interim. In official canon, the only Street Fighter tournament Ryu won was the original one, where he defeated the champion Sagat.
Ryu also developed a set of special moves that have become standards in the genre, including the Hadouken, Shoryuken (Rising Dragon Punch), and Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku (Hurricane Kick).
