[edit] Introduction
Ryu first appeared as the lead character from the game Street Fighter along with his best friend Ken. In the game both were participating in the Street Fighter tournament.
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.
[edit] Street Fighter series
Ryu debuted in the first Street Fighter as the primary playable character in the game, with his best friend, rival and sparring partner Ken serving as the second player's character. He and his rival Ken (who both trained under the same master, a character later established to be Gouken) compete in the tournament depicted in the game in order to test their strength against the tournament's champion, Sagat.
His next appearance was in 1991's Street Fighter II. Set several years after Ryu defeated Sagat in the first tournament, Ryu participates in a second tournament, inviting his old friend Ken to compete against him. In his ending in the game, Ryu wins the tournament against Sagat and M. Bison, but does not stay for the ceremony, already seeking his next challenge and leaving the player with the quote "The Fight Is Everything". This ending defines Ryu's characterization as a "wandering warrior".
Ryu's backstory, along with those of other Street Fighter characters, would be explored in the subsequent Street Fighter Alpha prequel series. The first game, Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams (1995), features Ryu confronting Sagat as his last opponent in a rematch following their first fight.[11] Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996) depicts Ryu on a quest to confront Akuma, his master's brother and enemy. After their match, Akuma reveals that Ryu possesses the "evil intent" or "Satsui no Hadou" within him, the same power Akuma uses. An alternate version of Ryu using this power is featured in the game as hidden character (see Evil Ryu). In Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998), Ryu is sought by Bison, who seeks to use Ryu as his next host body. With the help of Sagat and Sakura, Ryu is able to defeat Bison, who promptly retreats.
Ryu returned for Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV, which both take place after Street Fighter II.
[edit] Other appearences
Ryu has appeared in spinoffs related to the main Street Fighter series such as the Street Fighter EX series produced by Arika. Byron Mann portrays the character in two separately produced video games based on the American film of the series, both titled Street Fighter: The Movie, where he wears Ryu's characteristic white karate gi and red headband.
The character has also been featured in Capcom's inter-company crossovers such as the Marvel vs. Capcom series, the SNK vs. Capcom series and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. Some game of the SNK vs. Capcom series also include Evil Ryu as an unlockable character.
In Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, Ryu has the ability to change his moveset to the ones from Ken or Akuma while fighting. He also appears in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, a puzzle video game featuring super deformed characters along with the sequel, Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, which is instead a fighting game. Ryu has been confirmed to be one of the playable characters in the upcoming game Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. In the trailer, he is shown fighting Wolverine from the X-Men franchise.
