The German Club Nintendo magazine published a 1992 comic titled Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!, which features various characters from the Street Fighter series. Among the characters Mario meets in the comic are Template:Wikia, Dhalsim, Chun-Li, Blanka, and Ken.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article: Ken (SSBU)

Ken appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as an unlockable character and an Echo Fighter to Ryu. He shares many similarities to Ryu, though he focuses more on the use of his legs and moves faster because of it. His Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku can deal repeated damage unlike Ryu, and his Hadoken has a graphic of his hands displayed within. He shares his debut trailer with Incineroar.
