Background/History: Born in Japan, Ken is the son of an American military serviceman. Bullied and picked on due to his natural good looks (and exuberant nature), Ken was sent to learn karate at a nearby dojo. It so happened this dojo was run by Shotokan master Gouken, who saw something in the young gaijin and selected him to be a private student.

Ken trained at the school for a number of years, and remained behind after his family returned to America. Eventually, Ken mastered a number of Shotokan techniques, including the Dragon Punch, Fireball, and Hurricane Kick. When he was done, Gouken declared his training to be complete and told Ken to test his skills in combat.

Returning to America, Ken won a number of full-contact martial arts tournaments. He then entered the Street Fighter circuit and quickly rose to the top of the ranks.

Personality/Motivation: Ken likes to live the good life, which includes expensive clothing, fine food, and fast cars. He is married to the very beautiful Eliza, and lives a very fast life. On the other hand, Ken is no fool, and trains constantly, honing and improving his skills. Fighting for him is a way to test and perfect his skills, and he will not let anything interfere with his preparations and training.

Quote: “Fights like this brings out the best in me!”
“I need a better workout then this! Where's Eliza?!”
“Rivalry can often inspire one's skill to become its best!”
“True strength is something money and credit cards cannot buy!”

Powers/Tactics: As a master of Shotokan karate, Ken prefers to fight close and personal. He will combine strikes to keep and opponent off balance until he can finish him off with a Dragon Punch, or, if really pressed, his Flaming Dragon Punch. Fireballs are used against opponents that are out of hand-to-hand range, while the Hurricane Kick is good against groups.

Appearance: Ken is around 5'10" in height, with a muscular but lean build. His bright blond hair is fairly long, and usually worn tied back. In combat, he wears a red ghi with the sleeves removed.

Designer's Notes: In the original video games, Ken was virtually identical to Ryu. That has changed a bit over time, but the two are still almost an even match. As they are supposed to be so highly skilled, both Ken and Ryu have one more Combat Skill Level than the other Street Fighter characters.

This character sheet is adapted from the Street Fighter game originally published by White Wolf. Characteristics have been derived using the conversion notes given in The Ultimate Mentalist. Skills have been derived from skills and skill descriptions given in the White Wolf RPG. The values for skills were derived from the idea that 1 dot = 8-, 2 dots = 11-, and each additional dot as a +1 to the roll. Other skills, powers and disadvantages are taken from material given in the RPG sourcebooks.
