Hiraki understood the importance of creating a character with a unique personality and design in order to stand out and appeal to players on a similar level. With this in mind, he delved deep into Kyo's backstory and characteristics, ensuring that every aspect of the character was distinct from Ryu. From Kyo's fighting techniques to his fashion sense. Years later, when working on ''Street Fighter V'', Hiraki revisited the idea of creating a character that would rival Ryu's popularity.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160929170705/http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-112606.html/ |url=http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-112606.html/ |title=主人公 |publisher=Capcom |language=ja |access-date=26 October 2019 |archive-date=29 September 2016}}</ref> Ryu served as the primary inspiration for the creation of the character Akuma. The game designers were particularly drawn to Ryu's design and fighting style, which they wanted to incorporate into the character of Akuma. This decision was made in contrast to the other villain of "Street Fighter II", M. Bison, as the designers felt that Akuma's design should be more closely aligned with Ryu's. As a result, Akuma was developed to embody the essence of Ryu's character.<ref name="book">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NWY9DwAAQBAJ&q=Noritaka+Funamizu+akuma&pg=PA245 |title=Undisputed Street Fighter: A 30th Anniversary Retrospective |publisher=Dynamite Entertainment |year=2017 |isbn=978-1-5241-0466-5 |access-date=20 October 2020 |archive-date=13 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240313150531/https://books.google.com/books?id=NWY9DwAAQBAJ&q=Noritaka+Funamizu+akuma&pg=PA245#v=snippet&q=Noritaka%20Funamizu%20akuma&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref> Sheng Long appears as a non-playable character in the "World Tour" mode of ''[[Street Fighter 6]]'' whom players fight atop the SiRN building at night after completing the game.

However, due to a warning from Capcom, he ultimately decided to rename the characters. Despite this setback, Situ Jianqian's comic still drew inspiration from these characters. It is interesting to note that Ryu, in particular, was considered one of the most popular Japanese gaming characters at the time. Benjamin Wai-ming Ng from the [[University of Hong Kong]] further added that while characters like Ryu, Ken, and Chun-li may have been popular in Japan and other parts of the world, in China, they were overshadowed by the main characters from SNK's ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamestudies.org/0601/articles/ng |title=Street Fighter and The King of Fighters in Hong Kong: A Study of Cultural Consumption and Localization of Japanese Games in an Asian Context |publisher=[[Chinese University of Hong Kong]] |author=Wai-ming Ng, Benjamin |access-date=1 December 2019 |archive-date=17 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017214504/http://gamestudies.org/0601/articles/ng |url-status=live }}</ref> In a scientific study conducted in 2019, researchers reached a conclusion regarding the physical requirements for Ryu to successfully execute one of his signature moves, the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. According to their findings, it was determined that Ryu would need to achieve a speed of nearly 70 miles per hour (equivalent to 110 kilometers per hour) while moving through the air in order to perform the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.<ref>[https://journals.le.ac.uk/ojs1/index.php/jist/article/view/790 Tatsumaki Senpukyaku] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191029182757/https://journals.le.ac.uk/ojs1/index.php/jist/article/view/790 |date=29 October 2019 }} Written by Osarenkhoe Uwuigbe in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics, Vol 4 (2015)]</ref> | |||
