Ganryu (巌竜?) is a fictional character in the Tekken fighting game series. He has been featured in Tekken 1, Tekken 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 5, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Tekken 6. Ganryu shares some of his moves with Kuma/Panda and the Jacks. However, Namco made a more profound attempt to differentiate the characters in Tekken 5.

[edit] History
[edit] Tekken & Tekken 2
Ganryu was banned from the sumo ring after he was caught fixing fights in his favor. Blackballed from the only sport that he was capable of fighting in, Ganryu ended up being employed by Heihachi Mishima in Tekken. He fights Yoshimitsu who defeats him and steals his ill-gotten money. Later, he works for Kazuya Mishima in Tekken 2. Entering the second King of Iron Fist Tournament, Ganryu ended up falling in love with Michelle Chang - a love that Michelle was oblivious to, believing Ganryu to be a disgusting, woman-crazed madman. After Michelle defeated him, and the disappearance of Kazuya, Ganryu returned to Japan.
[edit] Tekken 5
However, his ban from Sumo was lifted, and he became the youngest ever Rikishi. Among the dialogue in Tekken 5, it is stated that Ganryu has never won a championship. After the events of Tekken 2, Ganryu opened a sumo stable and worked as a trainer to other sumo wrestlers. He did this to finally forget about Michelle.
One day, while watching a televised showing of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, he spotted Julia Chang as one of the competitors. Remarking how much she looked like his old crush, Michelle, Ganryu decided to enter the fifth tournament, convinced that he would win Julia's heart if he recovered her lost Forest Rejuvenation Data.
[edit] Tekken 6
During The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Ganryu loses his way and gets lost. By accident, he enters the lab of the Mishima Zaibatsu and finds the Forest Rejuvenation data, that Julia Chang was searching for. With it in hand, he hopes to finally be able to propose to Julia. However, during their meeting, Julia received the disc and left before Ganryu got the chance to propose. Putting the episode behind him, Ganryu moves to Hawaii and opens the restaurant, Paradise. However, the management is poor and the restaurant is not getting anywhere. Knowing that another The King of Iron Fist Tournament is being held, Ganryu decides to enter in hopes of advertising his restaurant.
[edit] Ganryu's Endings
Tekken 2
- Ganryu is shown standing in the middle of a sumo circle. After a few seconds, Ganryu slaps his hands together, stretches his left arm out towards the left, puts his right hand on his right hip, stomps the ground, and then he stands up straight with his arms by his sides, which is the position that Ganryu remains in. After a few seconds, the scene slowly begins to fade away. After the scene fades away completely, a photo of Ganryu in the position that he was previously in can be seen.
Tekken Tag Tournament
- Ganryu presents Michelle with flowers. Uninterested, she walks away. The camera gives an extreme close up of Ganryu's disappointed face.
Tekken 5
- Ganryu finds the Forest Rejuvenation Data that Julia has lost, and when he hands it back to her, he confesses his love to her—or rather, proposes to her. Unfortunately for him, Julia has already left, and he is left alone once again. He then opens his mouth in shock.
-
- Note: This ending is one of the few in Tekken 5 that does NOT show the death of Jinpachi Mishima.
