1. Japanese in origin, it simply means "
Dragon."
2. An emotionally detached, wandering closet neurotic who also happens to be the focal point of Capcom's immensely
popular "Street Fighter" series. Since the
mid-1980s, this enigmatic drifter has searched the globe far-and-wide looking for the true meaning of "the fight."
His
one and only friend is the arrogant and haughty
bi-ethnic rich boy Ken Masters, who somehow, with all of the monetarial wealth he posesses, cannot purchase a pair of tweezers and tweeze his overtly bushy eyebrows.
Did I mention that he (Ryu) may also be psychologically disturbed?
