History
Ken Masters was born the son of a wealthy hotel tycoon, and grew up with the most luxurious life imaginable. Despite this, his father thought that his son needed to learn about discipline, not wanting Ken to grow up into a spoiled brat who would exist only to leech off the family inheritance. He then sent Ken to Japan to train under his good friend, the mysterious Master Gouken. Under Gouken's tutelage, Ken would learn the Ansatsuken fighting style alongside his best friend and rival, Ryu. When his training was complete, Ken would return home a changed man. He would become one of America's most prized fighters, fall in love with and marry a woman named Eliza, and even had a son, all while making it his business to find a happy medium between champion, husband, and father.
