リョウ・サカザキ
Protagonist of the [[Ryuuko no Ken|Art of Fighting]] series alongside [[Robert Garcia]], and one of the main characters of [[The King of Fighters]] series. His [i]nom de guerre[/i] is 無敵の龍 (Muteki no ryū) - the "Invincible Dragon".

He is the first child and son of [[karate|Kyokugen-ryuu Karate]] founder [[Takuma Sakazaki]]. [[Yuri Sakazaki|Yuri]] is his younger sister. [[Robert Garcia]] is a fellow practicioner of Kyokugen Karate and is Ryo's best friend and rival. [[Marco Rodrigues]] is his most famous disciple. [[King (SNK)|King]] is teased as a love interest of his. He is credited as handing one of the earliest major losses to South Town's young crime lord [[Geese Howard]].

His fighting style is the Tiger discipline of Kyokugen Karate. He is also the first native student to perform the series' most famous [[Haou Shoukou Ken]] and later became a teacher of such a move.

Ryo is credited as the first cross-over/guest character in fighting game history, appearing as a secret boss/playable character in [[Fatal Fury|Fatal Fury Special]]. [[Street Fighter]]'s [[Hibiki Dan|Dan Hibiki]] was created by Capcom to poke fun at him (and Robert) for bearing a bit too close of a resemblance to [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]].
