While the character of Dan Hibiki from the "Street Fighter" series is deemed as a parody of Ryo due to his similarities with Ryu and Ken from such series, he often shows mannerisms similar to Yuri's. Manga artist Nobuhiro Watsuki designed the character of Makimachi Misao for the "Rurouni Kenshin" manga series, but some fans complained that the character was very similar to Nakoruru from the "Samurai Shodown" video games series. Watsuki responded saying that the character was more similar to Mai Shiranui or Yuri, comically saying he was "making his own grave" due to the similarities with the SNK characters.
