Go Hibiki (火引強 Hibiki Gou) (born May 23, 1948) is Dan's father and is a master in Muay Thai. He is the one who took out Sagat's eye in a sparring match and in response, an enraged Sagat beat him to death. Not much else is known about him.
Appearances
Go never appeared in any games as he died pre-Street Fighter. He is however frequently mentioned in games featuring Dan. In Street Fighter IV Dan has a picture of Gou hanging on the wall in his dojo, but the face is obscured by a glare of sunlight on the glass. Fans have, however, included their own versions of Gou in MUGEN, a customizable fighting game for the PC in which players can insert fighter characters of their own design.
Go does appear in Pocket Fighter as a cameo in several of Dan's attacks. His appearance is similar to Dan's, however he has a green karategi, red skin, a halo (because he is a ghost) and a very long nose (a parody of Art of Fighting character Mr. Karate, father of Ryo Sakazaki of whom Dan is a parody). Attacks involving Go include Dan swinging him like a hammer, using his nose as the handle as well as Go launching a freezing energy beam from his nose and even Go using a parody of Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu.
He also appears in Street Figher Legends by Udon comics, although he uses karate style like Dan while the games state he uses Muay thai. In the comics, Go appears completely normal, without the long nose or red skin, looking more like an elderly version of Dan.[1] In the comics it is also revealed that he was killed defending his dojo from Sagat and his henchmen.
