The monstrous tengu mask returns to South Town... But is that a hint of Italian in his voice?!
Mr. Karate debuted in ART OF FIGHTING (1992), serving as the game's all but unconquerable final boss.
The man behind the mask, it turned out, was none other than Takuma Sakazaki, founder of Kyokugen Karate. But he wasn't the only one to do it. Takuma's son, Ryo Sakazaki, took up the mantle himself in FATAL FURY: WILD AMBITION—and thus Mr. Karate II was born.
Now, more than 25 years later, the legendary masked warrior returns to the Fatal Fury franchise. Again his entire being is shrouded in mystery—save for his masterful use of Kyokugen Karate and quintessential Art of Fighting mechanics like Razz and Spirit Charge. Let the mighty roar of Mr. Karate echo through the City of the Wolves once more!

And yet his strength and skill are all his own—a polished practitioner of the Kyokugen style whose sheer might surpasses current head Marco Rodrigues himself. The verdict among all who fall to the mask is brutally clear: what lies beneath is no mere man, but a true tiger unleashed.
