Ryu Voiced by Kouji Tsujitani in Japan, Brett Weaver the 1st voice in the English ADV dub, Tommy Drake the 2nd voice in the English ADV dub and Skip Stellrecht in the English Animaze dub. Ryu is the main character. He is aged 17 and very dedicated to his martial arts and is always trying to better his own skills. He was raised in the Japanese countryside, and is as such a sort of country bumpkin. He and his best friend, Ken, have been training together in the same dojo since they were little kids. During their travels, he learns how to use a ki-based power called Hadō in the form of the Hadouken. Ryu does not wear a headband and sparring gloves throughout the series. Instead, he wears prayer beads on his left hand, and has short spiky hair. Ken Voiced by Kenji Haga in Japan, Jason Douglas in the English ADV dub and Jimmy Theodore in the English Animaze dub. Ryu's best friend is of the same age. He is the only son of the extreme rich Masters family. He lives in San Francisco with his parents in a very large mansion - it takes twenty minutes to drive from the front yard to the main house. He too spends a lot of time training as well, but not as much as Ryu. Ken also rides a motorcycle. His mother is Japanese. Ken also learns to use the power of Hadō later on while being held captive by Shadoloo. Only Ryu knows the Hadoken, while both he and Ken know the Shoryuken. Ken later upgrades the Shoryuken to the Hadou Shoryuken, and then shortens it to the Hadou Shoryu. Interestingly, in the English dub Ken still called the move Shoryuken while Ryu called it by its English translation: Rising Dragon Punch. Guile Voiced by Tesshō Genda in Japan, Rob Mungle in the English ADV dub and Kirk Thornton in the English Animaze dub. Guile is a Sergeant in the United States Air Force, based in San Francisco. He has pride in both the Air Force and his men, and frequently goes out drinking with them whenever they can. He and his partner, Nash, have served together for many years in various missions and military conflicts. As a military person he is regularly found working out and lifting weights. He has won at least one boxing tournament and probably others not mentioned in the show. His martial art style that he uses in combat is loosely based on US Military Combatives, the official martial arts styles that the US military teaches to its soldiers. Chun-Li Voiced by Chisa Yokoyama in Japan, Junie Hoang 1st voice in the English ADV dub, Tamara Lo 2nd voice in the English ADV dub and Lia Sargent in the English Animaze dub. Chun-Li first appears as a tour guide hired by Ken and Ryu upon their arrival in Hong Kong. The 15 year old girl is soon revealed to be the daughter of the top inspector for the Hong Kong police. Her father trains her in the art of kung fu both as self-defence and as a part of her rearing. She accompanies Ken and Ryu throughout most of their journeys across Asia and Europe, but rarely engages herself in combat unless personally attacked or threatened. In the series, Ken becomes smitten with her to the point where he takes her on a shopping spree and buys her an engagement ring and clothes from many of todays fashion houses such as Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, and jewellery from Tiffany's. Chun-Li is not seen in her blue mini-qipao and white boots until the final episodes, where she is captive at Bison's base. Also, changes to this outfit include the absence of her hair-bun covers as well as her pantyhose being replaced with kneepads. M. Bison (Vega in Japan) Voiced by Tomomichi Nishimura in Japan, Markham Anderson 1st voice in the ADV English dub, Mike Kleinhenz 2nd voice in the ADV English dub and Tom Wyner in the English Animaze dub. Very little is known about Bison, except that he is the enigmatic head of Shadowlaw. In contrast to Ken and Ryu's Hadou (which is based in ki), Bison's powers are based in his rage and hatred, and are referred to as his "Psycho Power". Usage of his "Psycho Power" usually causes him to lose his ability to reason, and in one instance nearly strangles Chun-Li while enraged only to regret his actions for a moment when he resumed his previous cognitive state... the only scene in which he ever shows a capacity for human emotion. As the leader of the secretive Shadowlaw, his only known goal is world domination, and most of his activities are financed through a variety of underground operations such as the Ashura syndicate. For all of Bison's power and ambition, it is suggested that much of his work may be the result of
semi-telepathic influence originating from a silver idol in the form of an eagle's head, which is shown on at least two occasions to "communicate" with him. Unlike in the games, where Bison's sole base is in Thailand, Bison is shown to have a variety of bases throughout the world, and the final battle against him takes place in Barcelona.
