If you like this character, let us know!
Ryu (リュウ, Ryū, written as 隆 in the original Street Fighter) is a video game player character created by Capcom, the protagonist of the Street Fighter series.
Having premiered in the first Street Fighter in 1987, Ryu appears as the lead character in the game, along with his best friend Ken Masters. Further games from the series show Ryu to be highly focused on his training, aiming to become the strongest he can. However, his powers also attract several criminals who want to use him for their plans, such as M. Bison. In some games, Ryu has an alternative form known as Evil Ryu (殺意の波動に目覚めたリュウ, Satsui no Hadō ni Mezameta Ryū, lit. "Ryu with the surge of murderous intent awakened", abbreviated Satsui Ryu in Street Fighter Zero 3).

Ryu has been the lead character of the Street Fighter series since the first game and has appeared in crossovers involving the franchise. He is also featured in manga from the series, anime adaptations and the 1994 live-action film.

Biography

Ryu est né le 21 juillet 1964 au Japon de parents inconnus. Il fut élevé par maître Gouken qui lui enseigna son art martial, l'Ansatsuken du style Goutetsu. Il est encore jeune lorsqu'il fait la connaissance du second disciple de Gouken venu des États-Unis, Ken Masters, avec lequel il entretient amitié et rivalité.

Calme et humble, il a dédié sa vie à la recherche de la perfection spirituelle à travers l'art du combat, c'est pourquoi gagner ou perdre n'a pas d'importance pour lui tant qu'il a le sentiment de progresser sur sa voie. Certain qu'il est toujours possible de s'améliorer et d'apprendre, son désir de combattre n'aura probablement jamais de fin.
