Ken is bent on becoming the best street fighter in the world. He won't let anyone step in his way. Fame and fortune are his goals, and any obstacle to his cause will be met with strong opposition. Ken will not only defeat his rivals, but humiliate them in the process.

KEN Ken's biggest rival is his ego. He is the greatest fighter around, and he knows it. His quest for glory is his drive, and this can sometimes lead to trouble. But usually not because Ken kicks everyone's ass anyway. *Seen in: All Street Fighter related games inculdin SF 2010

RYU Ken has found no one in the world better than himself with the exception of Ryu. They studied under the same master when they were young. Ryu has dedicated his entire life to the fight, his style is cold, effective, and brutal. Ryu's only wish is to become stronger, more skilled, and a better fighter than he already is. He spends his life wandering the world searching for worthy challengers. Glory and fame mean nothing him. Ken and Ryu have always been best friends, but their friendship is growing cold because of their differences. *Seen in: All Street Fighter related games except 2010. *Exchanges words with Ken in: SFA, SFA2, SF32I, SFA3? *Shows up in Ken's endings in: MSHvSF and all above. *Ken shows up in his endings in: SF3 2I MvC

M. BISON M.Bison (Vega) is the leader of the Crime syndacate Shadowloo (Shadowlaw?). He attempted to capture Ryu for his twisted experiments. Ryu was always on the move, and impossible to find. Bison studied Ryu intensively and learned of Ken. Ken was much easier to find being the supercool celebrity that he was. Bison captured Ken and brainwashed him into believing that Ryu was his enemy. His plan backfired and he was ultimately defeated by the dynamic duo. Secret agents Cammy, Chun Li, and Col. William Guile took care of the rest of Shadowloo after Bison's defeat. *Seen in: Alpha series, SF2 series, vs. series except MvC *Exchanges words with Ken in: Street Fighter Alpha (team mode! Ryu and Ken vs. Bison!)

AKUMA Akuma (Gouki), the strongest of those who practice Shotokan Karate. He is the brother of Ken and Ryu's Master Gouken. The death of Gouken at Akuma's hands left their training incomplete. Akuma has the best traits of both Ryu and Ken. He is 100 times more agressive than Ken and 100 times more brutal than Ryu and ultimately stronger than both. Akuma is convinced that only the strong shall survive, meaning only him. *Seen in: All street fighter related games starting with SSF2T besides MvC *Exchanges words with Ken in SFA2, SFA2 Gold: If you're good enough, you get to fight Super Akuma.

DAN Dan Hibiki is the weirdest character in the SF bunch. He has Ken and Ryu's worst traits. He is 100 times more arrogant than Ken, 100 times slower than Ryu, and much weaker than both. His main itch is with Sagat, however, Ken enjoys making Dan shut his egotistical mouth. In fact, Dan might as well be anyone's favorite rival, because he talks the talk, but he doesn't walk the walk. Seen in: All SF related games since SFA (except the ex series and MvC). Although only a small appearance in XMvSF. (Look in Apocalypse's tubes!) *Exchanges words with Ken in SFA2. (Defeat 5 in a row without losing, and and all star-burst victories) Dan is Ken's sub boss. Here is what they say: Dan: Hey blondie, here's a quarter. go get your own moves. Ken: Who are you? Do you know the Art of Fighting? Dan: Let's get ready to rumble! Ken: After you, ladies first.

ZANGIEF Zangief is the USSR's greatest wrestler. He wants to prove the strength of mother Russia. The best way to do this, he sees, is to defeat the most famous fighter that the U.S. has to offer. So Ken Masters is naturally the target he chooses. His size and strength are his assets, but Ken is much faster then the big lug. *Appeared in: The SF2 series, the Ex series, the versus series, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, and Gem Fighter *Exchanges words with Ken in SFA2

ALLEN Lost to Ken in an early round of some Karate tournament. He is now one of Ken's followers. Not a very origional character, and he talks like Elmer Fudd. "Wising Dwagon!" "Fiya Baww!" and "Juthist Bisto" Appeared in: SFEX series

SEAN Sean is Ken's biggest fan. Growing up in the hood has had an effect on this strong young man. (Who is 1/4 Japanese I might add.) Seeing Ken in all the martial arts magazines made him the perfect role model. Sean hopes for Ken to be his master and someday he wants to prove that he is better, which of course will never happen since Ken is just too much the man to let some punk from the hood beat him. Sean is constantly mistaken for Dan, and this pisses him off. *Appeared in SF3 series, MvC *Ken Appears in his endings: SF3

MORRIGAN Morrigan the Succubus is Ken's latest crush. Eliza is getting boring for Ken so he stared a new search for a more attractive woman that would hold his interest longer. Sakura is too young, Ibuki is also jailbait, Chun Li and Rose are out of his league! What to do? Cross games and find the hottest damn woman you can! Succubii are hot!!!! *Appeard in Dark Stalkers series, Puzzle fighter, Gem Fighter, and MvC. *Exchanged words with Ken in Gem Fighter *Appears in Ken's ending in Gem Fighter

KARIN Karin is Sakura's biggest Rival. Many would call her the sakura clone, but her fighting style is more remnant of Ling Xiaoyu in Tekken 3. (Wushu I believe) She is Ken's sub boss, naturally a gaijin fighting girl in a Japanese school makes her and Ken have much in common. *Appeard in Street Fighter Alpha 3 *Exchanged words with Ken in Street Fighter Alpha 3

ELIZA Eliza is making Ken abstain fro Street Fighting unless Ryu enters a tournament. She wants Ken to worry about Mel and Herself. She should let her man do what he wants and to be himself. He can still take care of Mel and Eliza, he's rich! I say ditch her and go for Morrigan! She would understand! Imagine his son with Morrigan... A Half Demon child! Cool! C'mon Ken, you're rich.. you can have more than one woman! heh heh heh! *Appeared in Ken's ending in SF2 series, SFA series, Gem Fighter, Puzzle Fighter. Spoke to Ken in XMvSF ending *Appeared in Ken's Stage in SFA2 and possibly in SF2 (the woman in the boat beating her chest.)

MEL Ken's son, Mel (no that's not what he really looks like) is the only other fighter to have beaten Ken. His special moves include whining, pouting, crying, and don't forget his super, the nut crunch. (See the end of SF3.) He will grow up being a spoiled brat and will eventually end up inheriting the Masters Corporation when Ken and Ken's Dad are dead, which will never happen because they are so filthy stinking rich. Appeared in Ken's Endings in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Street Fighter 3

Here are all the rivals Ken has ever fought. (This list includes the fighters and helpers that Ryu fights against in Marvel vs. Capcom, because for all intents and puropses, Ken is still in there... See the timeline section to learn how to get him.)
