Dan Hibiki

Dan's father, Go Hibiki, was a rival of Sagat. In one fight Go managed to gauge the right eye of Sagat. Sagat killed Go for that. Dan swore to avenge his father and started training under Gouken. But when Gouken found out Dan's intentions he expelled him.

After that Dan decided to develop his own style of fighting and called it Saikyo-ryuu, which means the Strongest Style, although the style is very weak and ineffective.

He manages to find Sagat and challenges him to a fight. Sagat let's Dan win, but Dan thinks he won on his own and decides to promote his fighting style.

While he was searching for Sagat he met Sakura. He decided to become her sensei, but Sakura only stayed with Dan because she thought she dan could lead her to Ryu.

Dan is also good friends with Blanka, who saved him when Dan was a child. Dan was mad at Blanka, because he didn't tell him about the second World Warriors tournament. Blanka explained to Dan, that he tried to call him, but his phone was disconnected due to not paying his bills.

Dan decides to enter the S.I.N. tournament to promote his fighting style.
