Talk:Shotokan

Ken is teaching Shotokan?
Looks like Ken is teaching Shotokan to the public:
 * Although Ken doesn't make an appearance in the Rival Schools series, the Japanese Wikipedia says he is mentioned to have a ケン・マスターズ流格闘術 ("Ken Masters-Style Martial Arts") online course, and Hinata learned her flaming attacks (like Sunrise Punch and Embukyaku) with it. Not sure where it appears, but found this mention (from 2nd game?) talking about ケン・マスターズ流空手 ("Ken Masters-Style Karate"). (And it appears they also talk about Dan's Saikyo teachings.)
 * In Laura's prologue from Street Fighter V (pictured), Sean is reading about Masters' Online Karate (マスターズ通信空手). Dunno if it's the magazine's name or only an ad on it.
 * It is also mentioned by Ken in Project x Zone when talking with Batsu or Tron:
 * Batsu: "Some of my friends learned moves from you."
 * Ken: "Oh, you mean my online karate courses?"
 * Ryu: "Ken, I hope you haven't forgotten that our style was originally meant for assassination."
 * Tron: "Can you guys teach some moves to my Servbots?"
 * Ken: "They're free to take my Ken Masters Online Karate Course."
 * Ryu: "I'm not sure our master would like that, Ken."


 * In the Street Fighter III Secret File and Street Fighter V: A Visionary Book, there is a joke ad for a DVD called "Ken Masters's Scarlet Battle" (ケン・マスターズのスカーレットバトル) divided in 5 volumes. Not sure if related as I didn't translated what it is about, but looks like martial arts lessons.

I wonder if something like this might happen after SFIII... Maybe that's how other Capcom characters learned Shotokan-like moves? :P --Quick (u•t) 11:49, May 14, 2016 (UTC)
