Dan Hibiki
is a fictional character from Capcom's ''Street Fighter'' fighting game franchise. He was created to parody Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, the two lead characters of SNK's ''Art of Fighting'' series, as Capcom saw Ryo as a ripoff of ''Street Fighter'' characters Ryu and Ken. Since then, Dan has become a fan favorite due to his humorous design, signature moves and mannerisms. Introduced in '' Street Fighter Alpha'', Dan is consistently portrayed as an overconfident, arrogant and utterly feeble character. In the series' storyline, Dan was a student trained by Gouken—elder brother of Akuma—who also trained Ken and Ryu.

After Sagat pretended that he was defeated, Dan opened an unsuccessful school for his fighting style, ''Saikyo-ryu'' ("Strongest style"). Appe ...
