[b]Sagat[/b] ([i]katakana[/i]: [b]サガット[/b], [i]thai[/i]: [b]สกัด[/b]) is a character in the [[Street Fighter]] series. He was originally a boss character in the early editions of series. He was later turned into a regular, playable character.

Sagat won the title of Emperor/God of [[Muay Thai]] from Nuah Kahn as a teenager, and became a national hero in [[Thailand]]. He defended his title from a fighter named Go Hibiki, in a match that cost Sagat the use of his right eye, and cost Go his life. Go's son, [[Hibiki Dan|Dan]], swore revenge on Sagat.

Sagat trained [[adon_(street_fighter)|Adon]], and held the first World Warrior tournament to prove that he was not only the strongest Muay Thai fighter, but the strongest fighter in the world. Only one fighter managed to reach Sagat: a young martial artist named [[Ryu (street fighter)|Ryu]]. Initially, Sagat was able to pin Ryu, and was sure that he was the winner of the match, even going to help Ryu up. However, Ryu became desperate to win the fight and was consumed by the Satsui no Hadou and his "[[Evil Ryu]]" side and executed the Metsu Shoryuken, grievously wounding Sagat and leaving a massive scar across his chest. Because of this event, Sagat has sworn revenge on Ryu.

He is often paired with [[Aisaka Taiga]] of [[ToraDora!]] due to the "Tiger" in his moves written and pronounced the same way as "Taiga", as well as Taiga parodying him.
