Grandly helped by Ken's wealth and connections as the unique son of a multi-billionnaire, their journey takes them to Hong-kong where they meet a fifteen years old tour guide named Chun-Li who they befriend immediately. Chun-Li's father happens to be a lead inspector for the Hong-kong police and Ken and Ryu soon willingly help him fight off a crime syndicate known as the Ashura, which eventually makes them targets of an even bigger crime syndicate known as Shadowlaw and led by the enigmatic General M.Bison.
