Character biography
Ryo Hazuki was trained by his father, Iwao Hazuki, in the Hazuki-ryū jūjutsu style of martial arts. When Ryo was seventeen, a man named Lan Di who was the leader of a Chinese black market organization known as the Chi You Men came into the Hazuki Dojo seeking vengeance. He claimed Iwao killed his father, so Lan Di killed him out of revenge.
Ryo in turn sought vengeance for the death of his own father and searched Japan and China so that he could get revenge on Lan Di.
