The king of Muay Thai, Sagat faced Ryu in the final bout of the first World Warrior tournament. Ryu could only defeat Sagat by giving in to his inner darkness, using a powerful Shoryuken that left his chest scarred. In his shame, he joined Shadaloo in search of power becoming one of their Four Heavenly Kings. Sagat’s not a dishonorable criminal, though, and would eventually leave Shadaloo to seek redemption.
