Ryu (Street Fighter)

''This article is about the character from Street Fighter. For other characters named Ryu, see Ryu (disambiguation).''

Ryu (known as Ryu Hoshi in the Street Fighter movie) is the main character from the Street Fighter series.Ryu's first appearance in the original Street Fighter replaced the red headband with a white one and depicted him with bright red hair, gray eyes, and red slippers. In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Ryu’s hair became a lighter shade of brown, and he retained the white headband which hearkens back to his appearance in the first Street Fighter. Ryu would not canonically receive his red headband until after a sparring session with Ken during this timeline. He is a student of Japanese decent, who was trained, with Ken under the hand of Gouken.

With his and Ken's training complete, Ryu and Ken became rivals and set off on their own path. Ryu entered the World Warrior Tournament where he met Sagat; the two battled until Ryu was "defeated". Sagat gave out his hand to help Ryu up when he gave into the Satsui no Hado. Ryu utilized a Metsu Shoryuken on Sagat scaring his chest and winning him the match. Ryu follows the path of warrior, looking for strong opponents while trying to keep his dark side at bay.

Due to his popularity and simplicity, there are countless versions of Ryu for M.U.G.E.N.
