Ganryu is a character in the Tekken fighting game series.

History

Tekken 2

Ganryu was banned from the sumo ring after he was caught fixing fights in his favor. Blackballed from the only sport he was capable of fighting in, Ganryu ended up being employed by Kazuya Mishima in Tekken 2. Entering the second King of Iron Fist Tournament, Ganryu ended up falling in love with Michelle Chang - a love that Chang was oblivious to, believing Ganryu to be a disgusting, woman-crazed madman. After Michelle defeated him, and the disappearance of Kazuya, Ganryu returned to Japan.

Tekken 5

However, his ban from Sumo was lifted, and he became the youngest ever Rikishi. Among the dialogue in Tekken 5 it is stated that Ganryu has never won a championship hence not ranked as a Yokozuna. After the events of Tekken 2, Ganryu opened a sumo stable and worked as a trainer to other sumo wrestlers. It should be noted he was at a time thought to be one of the people killed by Ogre before Tekken 3; however, Ganryu's inclusion in Tekken 5 proved this to be untrue. In his return to Tekken 5, he becomes one of the lighter hearted characters in the game, being a comic relief shown in many of his animations and win poses.

Ganryu's stoyline involves ending up falling for Michelle's adopted daughter Julia. In his Tekken 5 ending, Ganryu finds the Forest Rejuvenation Data that Julia has lost, and when he hands it back to her, confesses his love to Julia. Unfortunately for him, Julia has already left, and he is left alone once again.
