Strider Hiryu

Strider Hiryu (real name unknown) is the main protagonist of the Strider series. He appeared in the 28th episode of Death Battle, Ryu Hayabusa VS Strider Hiryu, where he fought against Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series.
He also appeared in the 29th episode of DBX, Zero VS Strider, where he fought against Zero from the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series.
==History==
Hiryu was orphaned at a very young age, with a past unknown to most. As a child, he was taken into the Strider Program, which trained its recruits to be ninja-like assassins and mercenaries. He would far exceeded his teachers' expectations, and soon became the youngest student in the organization's history to reach the highest rank of Special A-Class Strider. After reaching this remarkable rank, Hiryu was sent on a mission to kill a rogue Strider, who just so happened to be his own sister. He then left the program to live in solitude, but has been called into duty on more than one occasion to destroy whatever threats to humanity emerge. Each time he has been called to action, though, Hiryu has proven his skill in the arts of combat and stealth.
