One of the original Street Fighters. Every game of the Street Fighter series has him in it. Arguably, one of the best characters in the whole game.
Shawn B. picks ryu every time she plays Street Fighter, except when she plays Street Fighter 3 or Pocket Fighter. Then, she usually picks that boy that looks like a girl or the cat-woman.

A lame dance consisting of standing in one spot and bouncing on your heels with your arms raised at chest level, ala Ryu's idle stance in Street Fighter. Popular at raves.

Ryu a lone wanderer solely looking for spiritual enlightenment.
He trained with ken and akuma of whom each there sensei was Gouken Akuma's brother.
Goutetsuo the shotokan master was killed by Akuma on releasing the dark hadou(shun-goku-satsu). Thus giving Ryu a new goal to find and fight Akuma.
They have thus far fought three times, Ryu won the first Akuma won the second... I do not know who won the third as my game does not work. It is not mentioned in either SF2, SF2V or the SFA movie.

Ryu Hayabusa is the protagonist of the ninja gaiden series, and a selectable character in dead or alive series. In fact he is labelled as a super ninja due to the Ninja Gaiden plot. In the DOA series he is a toptier due to canon (He defeated an interdimensional Tengu called Bankotsubou) and his fast and deadly attacks, including izuna otoshi (It's not omote renge, folks!). He has lots of powerful attacks and carry a plethora of weapons in the ninja gaiden on the Xbox. He pwns along with joe musashi, strider hiryu, taki, rikimaru and other ninjas that naruto universe has just ripped off due to lack of ideas in creating good characters and plot.
Lucid and intelligent person: I just mastered ryu's combos in Dead ro alive, after i went to ninja gaiden black and beat it using dabilahro and true dragon sword! ryu hayabusa is the coolest!
Naruto fan: nope itachi is the coolest because he killed his realtives and yakkit yakka yakka yakka...
Lucid and intelligent person: and by the way you don't know that naruto is a ripoff of videogame ninjas, uh?
