Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
|
Ryo Sakazaki is a character from the Art of Fighting game series by SNK which started in 1992 on the Neo-Geo / Arcades in Japan. He is one of the two main protagonists in the game and its two sequels and also made it into Fatal Fury Special (1993) as a hidden character, probably the first time that a fighting game had a “guest character” from another game series. In 1994, Ryo Sakazaki made it into the King of Fighters roster and has become a stable part of the series, he returned in every later KOF game. He made it also into Buriki One, (1999) another fighting game that was only released for Arcades. Ryo Sakazaki is also a playable character in the Capcom vs SNK / SNK vs. Capcom games which were released during 2000-2004. Ryo became also “Mr. Karate” in some games like Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (1999) and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (2005), under that persona he fights a bit differently but also not exactly like his father Takuma Sakazaki under the Tengu mask. Ryo is representing the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo of his Father Takuma (Mr. Karate), rescues his sister Yuri and is also fighting criminal syndicates without fear, his friend and rival is Robert Garcia. While he was born in Japan, he moves to Southtown in the USA in later years together with his whole family. |
