Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-2218433-20151213033817

In recent times, it has come to my attention that Ryu's page name is continually changing back and forth, i wish to have this stopped and for us all to decide on what the page name should officially be. The two names that are the subject of these changes are "Ryu (Street Fighter)" and "Ryu Hoshi", In my opinion, the page name needs to stay as "Ryu (Street Fighter)", I have reasons why I have this decision, those being:
 * No officially licensed Capcom product has Ryu ever been given a last name
 * His name has always been "Ryu" ever since his character was created

Finally, there is an entire thread dedicated to this very discussion on the Capcom Unity website.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/go/thread/view/7411/29599877/what-is-ryus-lastname?pg=1

As this thread states, "He doesn't have an official last name. Neither of those other two are official", referring to the two last names that Ryu has been given in other forms of Street Fighter media, Hoshi and Takashi.

"Ryu Hoshi" was Ryu's full name he was given in the 1994 Street Fighter film, and in that film, Ryu's character is described as, "Ryu (with the last name of Hoshi), along with Ken, are two con artists who love to take money from rich crime lords through their schemes"

Tell me, does that sound like Ryu to you? Clearly not.

Ryu Hoshi should not the page name on this wiki, as Ryu Hoshi does not correlate with any official Capcom, An arcade game titled Street Fighter: The Movie was produced by American developer Incredible Studios, published by Toy HeadQuarters Publishing and distributed by distributed by Capcom.

Capcom may have been involved, but they did not develop the game itself, subsequent releases of the game on home consoles were only handled by Capcom because it was their title.

And to conclude, Capcom has always released their own developed standalone games with solely "Ryu" as his name, so therefore, I wish to have the page name change back and permanently remain as "Ryu (Street Fighter)".
