Story

Retsu, who was born in Japan, is an apostate monk that enters the first World Warrior tournament to battle against strong opponents. He is a former Shorinji Kempo teacher who was expelled from his Kenpo house because of his personal struggles, constant strife, and for fighting too much. He is a good friend of Gouken, and short-term master of Dan Hibiki, whom he fought and soundly beat. A monk is a person who practices asceticism, the conditioning of mind and body in favor of the spirit. ... Shorinji Kempo (少林寺拳法 Shōrinji Kenpō -- note that the World Shorinji Kempo Organization prefers the Romanization kempo to kenpo) is a martial art form of Kempo that was invented by Doshin So (宗 道臣, 1911-1980) in 1947, who incorporated Japanese Zen Buddhism into the fighting style. ... Gouken Gouken (剛拳, Gôken, in Japanese, means Strong Fist) was the master of Ryu and Ken in Capcoms Street Fighter fighting game series. ... Dan Hibiki (火引 弾 Hibiki Dan), is a character from Capcoms Street Fighter series of fighting games. ...


He let violence overcome the peace he should have preached to others. His techniques weren't forbidden in themselves, but making them full contact ones made them forbidden due to his strife which he couldn't seem to keep in check. With personal strife forbidden as well, he was excommunicated from Shorinji kenpo, the institution as well as the style. He's labeled in the Fanbook as a fallen fighting monk.


In the Udon comic book adaptation, Retsu was briefly seen sparring with a young Ryu.
