Ryo first appears in ''Art of Fighting'', where he sets off to fight Mr. Big to save his sister Yuri. However, as he does so, he is led to a mysterious man known as Mr. Karate. After beating him, it is revealed that Mr. Karate was his and Yuri's father, Takuma Sakazaki and that he was being coerced by Geese Howard into being his muscle in Southtown, having arranged Yuri's kidnapping to force his cooperation. Ryo, his family, and his best friend Robert Garcia then proceed to search for and fight Geese. After failing to kill Geese in ''Art of Fighting 2'' (which leads up to the events of the original ''Fatal Fury''), Ryo's role is reduced to a supporting role to Robert in ''Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior'', as the latter leaves for the fictional Mexican town of Glasshill without warning, in order to help his childhood friend Freia Lawrence. Ryo's playable appearances after this are mostly in ''The King of Fighters'' series, often teaming up with Robert, Yuri, and/or Takuma, as part of the Art of Fighting Team. In ''The King of Fighters'' series, he mostly joins the tournaments to get funds for his family's dojo | Ryo first appears in ''Art of Fighting'', where he sets off to fight Mr. Big to save his sister Yuri.

Though not originally from the {{uv|Fatal Fury}} series, Ryo made secret playable appearances in two of its games, ''Fatal Fury Special'' and ''Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition'', the latter of which sees him succeeding his father as Mr. Karate. | Though not originally from the {{uv|Fatal Fury}} series, Ryo made secret playable appearances in two of its games, ''Fatal Fury Special'' and ''Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition'', the latter of which sees him succeeding his father as Mr. Karate. | ||

Ryo was one of the characters who tried to take the [[Smash invitation]] in Terry's [[trailer]]. During his scene, he rushes forwards and tries to grab the letter, but it flies away. He also cameos in Terry's [[List of character posters#Terry|promotional artwork]]. | |||

He is a costume for {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}. When Ryo's Mii Costume is being demonstrated, he is shown jumping off [[Wario Bike|Wario's bike]] on Omega [[Mario Circuit]], referencing cutscenes from the original ''Art of Fighting'' (which, incidentally, are a popular meme in Japan). He is also shown performing [[Flashing Mach Punch]] and [[Onslaught]], which resemble his Zanretsuken and Ryuuko Ranbu moves. The appearance of {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} using his forward aerial attack in Mii Fighter Costumes #4 trailer is a reference to Jack Turner's Super Drop Kick from the ''Art of Fighting'' series. | ||

*Interestingly, Ryo's spirit artwork and appearance on the King of Fighters Stadium depicts his original appearance in the ''Art of Fighting'' series with a mullet, but the Mii wig based off him is based on his later appearances in ''The King of Fighters'' with shorter hair. | *Interestingly, Ryo's spirit artwork and appearance on the King of Fighters Stadium depicts his original appearance in the ''Art of Fighting'' series with a mullet, but the Mii wig based off him is based on his later appearances in ''The King of Fighters'' with shorter hair. | ||
