Strider Hiryu

"Unless you're a target of mine, you will never see me. If you see me, then it's already too late."

- Strider Hiryu

Hiryu (飛竜, meaning Flying Dragon), commonly referred fully as Strider Hiryu (ストライダー飛竜), is the main protagonist of the whole franchise. Jointly owned by Capcom and manga studio Moto Kikaku, Hiryu has starred in all official Strider games and the manga, as well as appearing in a host of Capcom's crossover games. As an active Strider agent, all personal data such as real name, age, nationality, career and any other background information are top secret, although official speculation states he may be of Asian ethnicity and somewhere around 20 years of age[6] (19 in the manga). The youngest Strider ever to reach Special A-Class in the organization's history, Hiryu completed the Striders' hellish training program among the top ten percentile. He is a professional expert on sabotage and assassination, as well as a master spy.

In battle, Hiryu is incredibly focused, appearing silent but stern. He shows super-human capabilities, heightened by his impressive agility and speed, which allows him to dodge barrages of bullets. Hiryu fights like a fierce deity while remaining both calm and collected emotionally. He epitomizes the strength a Special A-Class Strider possesses.
