Ryu Hoshi

Ryu...always a very simple guy throughout the Street Fighter tournaments. He was the only one there who was seriously just there to compete. Just for the hell of it! He lived to fight and after a while, it got to the point where he fought to live. The only person that ever mattered to him was Ken Masters, that cocky blond dude from the USA. The two had trained together since childhood and grew very close. When they grew up, Ken ended up moving back to Beverly Hills where he met and married a woman. Eventually, SF reunited Ryu and Ken and rekindled their relationship. Since the tournaments, Ryu has met some awesome people and he now values his friendships with them. With Ken on his mind all day every day, Ryu realized that he was actually in love with him. When Cammy came out it inspired Ryu to take action and do what he had wanted to do since he was a kid. He flew out to Beverly Hills and swiped Ken right out of Eliza's arms. Who was she to stand in the way of a 25 year old relationship? The couple returned to New York where they co-own a dojo right up the street from the Fighters' Cafe. Ryu is finally confident, happy, and comfortable enough with himself to be comfortable with others.
