}} is a video game player character created by Capcom, the protagonist of the ''Street Fighter'' series.〔"''Street Fighter IV'': Return of the World Warriors", ''Game Informer'' 178 (February 2008): 90.〕 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 . 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. == Character design == In the first ''Street Fighter'' game, Ryu wears a tattered white karate gi with the sleeves torn off, as well as a white hachimaki, red gloves, and red slippers. Also, a constant trait in his design is the kanji motif (meaning ''Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain''), battle standard of the historical Japanese military leader Takeda Shingen, embroidered into his obi, simulating Karate Dan degrees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=FightingStreet.com )〕 In ''Street Fighter II'' Ryu is shown to be older, with brown hair, brown gloves, and a red hachimaki. He also fights barefooted starting in Street Fighter II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=FightingStreet.com )〕 The ''Alpha'' series features a Ryu much like the one depicted in the original ''Street Fighter'', with chestnut hair and a white hachimaki, but already barefoot. In the ''Street Fighter III'' games, Ryu has black hair and facial stubble. His glove design in Street Fighter IV features a simplified version of the Fūrinkazan characters. In Street Fighter V, Ryu's gi is not only tattered, but also has an off-white, soiled appearance to it. Ryu's name was based on designer Takashi Nishiyama's name. This was due to the fact that the ''on'yomi'' (Sino-Japanese pronunciation) of the character "Takashi" is "Ryū" (Mandarin: ''Lóng'' 隆). Furthermore, Ryu's Hadouken energy attack was based on the wave motion gun from the titular spacecraft of the sci-fi anime series ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which Nishiyama watched during the seventies. His other two techniques from the first ''Street Fighter'' game were inspired by actual martial arts moves which were exaggerated for the character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=1UP.com )〕 Because he was the only playable character in the original ''Street Fighter'', Ryu's designer, Manabu Takemura,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=sfrpg.com.br )〕 wanted to make him easy to identify with. In ''Street Fighter II'', the character was selected for inclusion due to his presence in the first game, symbolizing the concept of a Japanese martial artist. As the series progressed, the design was made more muscular to coincide with the concept, while his white gi, considered his most defining characteristic by the development team, was meant to let viewers know he was "a karate master at first sight". For ''Street Fighter IV'', Kyle Hebert was cast as Ryu in preparation of the return of his "Evil Ryu" persona.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=1UP.com )〕 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「Ryu (Street Fighter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
