Ryo Sakazaki (リョウ・サカザキ, Ryo Sakazaki) is the main character in Art of Fighting, and one of the main characters in The King of Fighters, both fighting game series from SNK. His name is most often written in kana, however, in some games kanji is used to write parts of his name (坂崎 亮, Sakazaki Ryo). He earned the nickname, "The Invincible Dragon" (無敵の龍, Muteki no Ryu). In Gamest's 1997 Heroes Collection, Ryo was voted as the staff's twenty-fourth favorite character. He shared the spot with Sie Kensou and Toru Kurosawa, a character from an adult game series. In a 2005 poll made by SNK-Playmore USA, he was voted as the fifth fan favorite character with a total of 193 votes.
Mr. Karate's appearance in SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom is probably an amalgam of the two versions. His normal form is still used for comic relief, but he also has a form called Honki ni Natta Mr. Karate which is more serious an akin to his original appearance. Mr. Karate is used as a counterpart to Akuma, and Honki ni Natta Mr. Karate a counterpart to Shin Akuma.
Ryu is a Japanese stock character, the wandering warrior: a person whose life is entirely devoted to spiritual perfection through the art of the fist. He does not care about winning or losing so much as the moment of the fight and the opportunity for spiritual advancement.
Ken was born in the USA and is a proud member of the Masters family. He trained in the martial arts alongside Ryu under Master Gouken. Ryu is Ken's best friend and greatest rival. Ken has entered all kinds of martial arts tournaments and won many titles from his tours around the world. He has long blond hair and a bright red uniform, which he uses to intimidate his foes in the ring. Unlike Ryu, who only lives for the fight, Ken has a close relationship with his wife Eliza, with whom he has a son named Mel.

Why does Ryo sound like a retard??
Good fight, but I remember Ryo having a different voice actor in the KOF games I played.

He does sound like a retard. That's because his voice was changed in KOF 2003 and SVC Chaos to that crappy one.
