Ryo has been well received by gamers; his character has ranked high in several popularity polls from journals. Video game publications have provided praise and criticism on Ryo's character. While Ryo has been criticized for his similarities with the ''Street Fighter'' video games' characters, several reviewers have praised his development in several games from SNK such as his introduction in ''The King of Fighters''. ==Character design== In the first ''Art of Fighting'' game, Ryo appeared to have orange hair, but in his character artwork he is blond. His sprite appears for the first time with blond hair in ''The King of Fighters '94'' and ''Art of Fighting 2''. However, he was red-haired once again in ''The King of Fighters XII'' and ''XIII''. In most games, Ryo appears wearing an orange ''gi'' with the sleeves ripped off and a black sleeveless T-shirt under the ''gi''. He also wears black wrist and ankle bands. However, in ''Art of Fighting 2'' he has no black T-shirt in the chest of the ''gi'' and wears black fingerless gloves and footpads. In ''Buriki One'', his look is similar to Takuma's in the KOF series, only with his traditional spiked hair dyed blond and a dark grey gi instead of orange. In ''Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition'', other than looking somewhat older but still with blonde hair, he's unshaved and is not wearing the top of his orange gi, showing instead the black T-shirt underneath. In ''KOF: Maximum Impact'', Ryo's alternate costume is similar to that of his ''Buriki One'' costume. If the player completes the game with him, he/she are able to use his "Rigging Model", a few additions to his costume include a Tengu Mask similar to Takuma's. In ''KOF: Maximum Impact 2'', Ryo has two versions: his traditional KOF one and his Mr. Karate version, the primary costume of which comprises a Tengu mask slightly different from his father's, that Ryo is seen using for the first time. His "Another" costume is a very slightly modified version of his ''Fatal Fury Wild Ambition'' costume. Although his character does not appear in ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'', illustrations from the game feature Ryo in his Buriki One outfit, but with gray hair. Artist Shinkiro has expressed he had no problems with designing Ryo in contrast to Robert due to Ryo's poor state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ryo Sakazaki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
