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?

n. The birth name of somebody who has changed their name. Most commonly attributed to trans people, but can be attributed to any person who has changed their name. (sometimes written as two words: dead name)

v. 1. To call somebody by their deadname.
v. 2. To out somebody's deadname to the public.

Ryu is the nicest, funniest, most amazing, supportive and kind person. He is the kindest and sweetest person ever and he will do whatever it is to make you happy. He always be there for you whenever your down and make you smile. Just standing next to him, he'll make you smile. He's very very shy and if he likes a girl he never makes the first move. So if you like a Ryu tell him and if your in a relationship with him keep him. He may confuse you a lot at times but he will truly love you with all his heart and make you feel like the most special person in the world. He is also amazing at sports and is especially good at football. He's so patient and smart and he's basically the most amazing person. He's always willing to help someone even if he doesn't know you. So if you have a Ryu in your life make sure you keep him

This dude that beats the shit out of people and takes their milk money. Can be seen doing just that on the Street Fighter series from Capcom.

That martial arts guy from Street Fighter who always beats up his friend Ken in every game. Ryu also enjoys picking fights with poor innocent dictators, demon-possessed martial-artists, and sorcerers, who are all just trying to make their way in the world. Apparently, Ryu also has a schoolgirl fetish, which explains why that Sakura babe keeps following him around since Street Fighter Alpha 2.

The act of ejaculating into your hand during sex and then yelling HADOUKEN loudly while flinging your jizz into her face.

The best martial artist ever!!! He is the main character of Street Fighter series. Ryu is a martial artist dedicated to perfecting his body and technique. He constantly teavels from place to place around the world. looking for opponenets worthy enough to challenge him. His best friend and sometimes rival is Ken Masters. Both are disciples of Shotokan Karate, and trained under their sersei, Sheng Long.
