Dan
Dan wasn't quite interested in martial ts when he was a kid, despite the desperate attempts of his father, the great Oh Hibiki, to teach him. Dan took the lessons only mildy, since he lived in his own world, dreaming and chanting. All he wanted was to have fun, and live his life at the fullest, looking at the bright side of it. But Oh Hibiki really wanted a disciple for his skills, but when he did not find the descendant he looked for in his son, he just kept on fighting like in his good old days. A moment came when Oh Hibiki learned about new fighter who had rised to the upper elite of the Street Fighter circuit, and that he was proclaimed "King of Street Fighters". Oh Hibiki was rather interested when he knew that it was no other than Thai Muetai legend, Sagat. Impressed by his doings, Oh Hibiki went to challenge Sagat head on. Dan wasn't concerned at all for his father's departure. In his mind, he knew his father would come back. But fate can sometimes be cruel. In Thailand, Sagat and Oh Hibiki squared face on. Oh Hibiki was getting te hang of the fight, surprising Sagat with his techniques, and taking random pokes at Sagat, which made him mad. Suddenly, in one attack, Oh Hibiki managed to remove one of Sagat's eyes. Enfuriated and blinded with rage, Sagat forgot all the honor he learned before and proceeded to battle Oh Hibiki ruthlessly. He didn't rest until Oh Hibiki's last breath. Sagat, for once, had taken the life of a man by his own hands. When the news reached Dan, for the first time ever, felt fear strike in his heart. Was there somebody strong enough in the world to beat and even kill his father? It seemed so. Sleepless nights and countless nightmares followed Dan after that day, nightmares where Sagat would come and kill a defenseless Dan. Dan was stroke in fear like no before. But, deep in his heart, he felt the memory of his father burning, and getting guts out of nowhere, went out to seek the greatest martial arts legend alive: the great Gouken. Dan reached Gouken, and began training with him. But it only took a few time before news came to Dan: Sagat was defeated. Suddenly, Dan felt a light of hope in his heart. Sagat could be defeated, and thus, his nightmares disappeared, and continued his training ever harder to beat Sagat and exact revenge. But Gouken, reproaching the use of martial arts for personal intentions, kicked Dan out of his dojo in sprite of his desire of revenge. Thus, Dan trained alone, mixing the little Gouken taught to him with his own style. Dan could never catch up to Sagat...and perhaps he wasn't trained enough for that. Tired of searching, Dan opened his own dojo where he would teach the people of the world his newly created style: the powerful Saikyo style!
