Ryu Costume Guide

How to dress like Ryu from Street Fighter.

ABOUT RYU:

Ryu is a central character in Capcom’s Street Fighter series, first appearing in the original game in 1987. A dedicated martial artist, he practices a style called Ansatsuken, which combines elements of karate and other disciplines. Ryu is known for his iconic white gi and his quest to become the strongest fighter. He grapples with his inner darkness, manifesting in alter egos like Evil Ryu. His signature move, the Hadouken, symbolizes his fighting spirit and determination

How To Dress Like Ryu

1. GI – Start your Ryu cosplay with a white gi, which you can then cut roughly around the arm and leg holes to create the same jagged edges.

2. GLOVES – Next, you will need a pair of red fighting gloves, MMA, Kick Boxing, or sparring wrap gloves all work well.

3. HEADBAND – Add a Samurai-style red headband to recreate Ryu’s original look.

4. BELT – As a master of Martial Arts, it is only to be expected that Ryu should be a certified black belt.

5. WIG – Finally, this black, layered and spiky wig is the perfect way to round off this kickass look.
