Introduction
Ken trained alongside Ryu under the tutelage of Gouken and, after the two had gone separate paths, blazed a path of success in America. Not only did he become the American Street Fighter champ, he also was the successor to his father's business empire. Ken also managed to find true love in his wife Eliza, with whom they are now expecting their first child. However, the lure of battle never leaves Ken, and he has once again entered the world of Street Fighting and, most importantly to Ken, may soon have the chance to face off against his former training brother and true rival Ryu in the ultimate battle.
Ken is the polar opposite of Ryu. While Ryu focuses on controlling the battle from a distance, Ken is more oriented to those who want a more "in-your-face" style of Shoto. Throughout the years of the series, Ken has evolved into a hard-hitting, fast character with an excellent mixup game. He is one of the few characters who have the ability to kara-throw, making him even deadlier when he's not quite in the range you think he can catch you. His greatest strength, however, is also his greatest weakness. If one is not careful, the risks players end up taking with Ken can end with horrible consequences, and the loss of a lot of health. For those who want an easy-to-use character with plenty of explosive, offensive potential, Ken may be for you.
