Oro

Oro(オロ)

Voiced by Kan Tokumaru in Street Fighter III and Second Impact, and by Takashi Matsuyama in Third Strike. An ancient, mysterious hermit who seeks a fighter that is worthy to inherit his fighting style. He binds one arm while fighting, to keep from accidentally killing his opponent.(except when performing specific special arts)

He defeated Ryu in the 3rd World Warrior Tournament. Afterwwards, he took on the role of training Ryu in his style of martial arts before he dies, as well as a even match for him (more than likely due to his extreme boredom of not finding a worthy challenger in the world).

Canon-wise, Oro is one of the most powerful characters in the series, next to Gouki at full strength and Gill. He has full mastery over his Ki, giving him monsterous strength and stamina far surpassing all other fighters in the world, even in his old age.

Around the end of the 3rd World Warrior Tournament, Oro, sensing Gouki's extremely powerful and murderous ki, thought to test his strength against him. The two fought, yet there was no set winner. This was more than likely a test of Oro to see the skill level of Gouki.
