Sagat (Street Fighter)
Sagat is a boss fighter in the early editions of Capcom's Street Fighter video game series, and was turned into a proper, playable video game character.
According to his official biography, Sagat was born in Thailand on July 2, 1955. He stands 226 cm (almost 7' 5") and weighs 109 kg. He is skilled at free diving, and can hold his breath for 20 minutes. His blood type is B. He likes strong opponents, and dislikes people who do small things.
Sagat won the title of God of Muay Thai from Nuah Kahn as a teenager. He defended his title from a Muay Thai fighter named Go Hibiki, in a match that cost Sagat the use of his right eye and Go his life. Go's son, Dan Hibiki, swore revenge on Sagat.
Sagat trained Adon, and held the first World Warrior tournament. Only one fighter managed to reach Sagat: a young karate practitioner named Ryu. Sagat practically crushed the young man, and when he felt the battle had been won, he reached down to help him up. Rather than accept defeat, Ryu thrust himself up, fist-first, and struck Sagat across the chest, leaving a ragged scar. Little did Sagat know that the scar on his chest, at that time, was a result of Ryu nearly killing Sagat with a Gou Shouryuken.
Adon mocked his teacher for losing to a boy and challenged him for the title of God of Muay Thai. His rage blinded him, and Sagat lost to Adon, but not before beating him so hard that he would be in traction for four months.
Consumed with rage and hatred, Sagat eagerly joined Shadoloo, M. Bison's organization, to find Ryu and get a rematch to reclaim his shattered honour. During his tenure in Shadoloo, Sagat fought Dan Hibiki, and saw how anger can make people do things they regret, so he allowed Dan to defeat him, and then quit Shadoloo.
However, when he tendered his resignation, M. Bison presented him with a brainwashed Ryu, and told him he could have the rematch he always wanted. Not wanting it that way, Sagat still fought Ryu, but only to break M. Bison's mind control, yelling at Ryu that a true warrior would not give in to such treachery. Ryu snapped out, and they drove Bison off. Sagat then told Ryu that they both needed training before they could properly rematch. Sagat finally realized that there should be limits on a rivalry.
Sagat was invited to the second World Warrior tournament, although he didn't earn the right to fight Ryu.
Sagat currently trains, awaiting the day when he and Ryu will cross paths, and they can finally fight properly, and Sagat can regain his honour.
Since Street Fighter Zero/Alpha, Sagat has been voiced by Shinichirou Miki. In SVC Chaos: SNK VS. Capcom, Sagat was voiced by Kouji Suizu.
