Match of the Millennium

Sakazaki Ryo. His name is legend, though, perhaps a legend that has passed its own time. Back in the day, before King of Fighters tournaments and the like, Ryo and his friend Robert were famous for going on a city wide beat down of Southtown criminals in search of Ryo's kidnapped sister. After that, Ryo then went on to participate, and win the very first King of Fighters tournament. Later, he helped his friend Robert with another incident south of the border, in Mexico that resulted in breaking up a drug ring. Since then, Ryo has mostly retreated from the limelight, focused instead in trying to help his family and friends, and to keep the ever struggling Kyokugenryu dojo doors open. To this end, he still takes to the tournament sector, competing for the sake of keeping the name Kyokugen on the tongues and in the hearts of fighting fans and potential students. Now known as Mr. Karate, his skill and power are nearly without rival. His form is renowned for it's power, and his own variation of the Kyokugen base form has been perfected to being nigh unassailable. This has earned him the title once held by his father, Mr. Karate, as well as being known as the "Invincible Dragon of Kyokugen". Meanwhile, as strong as he is, it doesn't stop him from being the victim of many plots by his loved ones attempting to get him to settle down with the lovely kickboxing beauty, King.
