Japan. We've all heard of it. It turns out they make video games and exactly 85% of these video games have a protagonist whose name is essentially 'Ryu'. This is the definitive list of these protagonists.

The definitive Ryu.
Hates sailors and thugs.
A ninja Ryu.
Called "The Dragon of Dojima" for his famous dragon punch (probably), which is a classic Ryu move.
One of the only Ryu's to become a medical doctor. This guy will train your brain as well as punching waterfalls (presumably).
Alright so his name might not actually be "Ryu" but in Japan he goes by Ryuichi Naruhodo and that's good enough for me.
Look at those last two letters. They spell "Ru", pronounced "Roo" which - as all Japanese game experts will tell you - is the correct way to pronounce "Ryu."
A female Ryu. Her sword is kind of like a pair of scissors which isn't really relevant but seems cool enough to mention, and when she activates her not-Devil Trigger power her she loses most of her clothes, which is very similar to the Satsui No Hado.
This guy is such a good cheerleader that he can inspire people to deflect meteors and discipline ill-behaved cats. Classic Ryu behaviour.
On the face of it "Liu" might not seem a lot like "Ryu", but "Liu" is actually incredibly close to the "Ree-you" pronounciation which - although incorrect - is still popular enough that it forces our hand. As such, we have to allow for Liu's on this list.
