Ryo Sakazaki (Japanese: リョウ・サカザキ) is a character introduced in the 1992 fighting game Art of Fighting developed by SNK. In the series, Ryo is depicted as a skilled martial artist who practices his family's fighting style, Kyokugenryu Karate (Japanese: 極限流空手), taught by his father Takuma. After his younger sister Yuri disappears, Ryo and his best friend Robert Garcia search Southtown to find her, facing several opponents along the way. While the series follows Ryo's journey as a protector of those he loves, he also regularly appears in the crossover series The King of Fighters, in which he participates in fighting tournaments to promote the Kyokugenryu Karate. He also appears in other SNK games as an older fighter named "Mr. Karate" (Japanese: Mr.カラテ) influenced by his father Takuma.
