Early Life and Training

• Wealth and Rebellion: Ken was born to a wealthy American father (a hotel tycoon) and a Japanese-American mother. Due to his parents' constant arguing and a tense household, Ken acted out as a rebellious delinquent during his youth and dyed his hair blonde. • Sent to Gouken: To instill discipline, his father sent 12-year-old Ken to Japan to train under the martial arts master Gouken. • Meeting Ryu: At the dojo, Ken met Gouken's adopted son and student, Ryu. The two trained together in Ansatsuken for a decade, growing close like brothers while building a fierce rivalry.
