Dan Hibiki

"I hope you're ready for a beating."

- Dan Hibiki

Dan Hibiki is a character from the Capcom fighting game series Street Fighter. He starred in the 53rd episode of Death Battle, Hercule Satan VS Dan Hibiki. He was voiced by Brad Venable.

History
Dan was the son of mixed martial arts master Go Hibiki, who was murdered by Sagat after he was responsible for gouging out the Muay Thai champion's eye. Dan then went on a quest to avenge his father's death by training to become a fighter, but was expelled from Gouken's dojo when his motivations were learned. Dan thus developed his own style of Gouken's martial art merged with Muay Thai elements and called it Saikyō-ryū, or "Strongest style," despite the complete weakness of his techniques.

After supposedly defeating Sagat (which only happened because Sagat let him win), Dan focused his attention on developing his own dojo to teach others of Saikyō-ryū, and befriended Sakura and Blanka.

Trivia

 * Dan is one of three Street Fighter characters (the other two being Akuma and Ryu) to appear in Death Battle and in One Minute Melee.
 * Dan is the third character to lose both his One Minute Melee and Death Battle, with the first two being Batman and Wonder Woman respectively.
 * Dan's the first Street Fighter character to have a voice actor.
 * Dan is the second character in Death Battle to be voiced by Brad Venable, the first being Solid Snake's supporter, Otacon.
 * Dan is probably the weakest human character who has superhuman feats. This is because Dan's ki is so pathetic that even with the ability to fire ki-blasts and ki-techniques; it's not threatening even to ordinary people. His only legitimate victory was against random unskilled thugs.
