OverviewProfile RikuoAliases: Aulbath (in Japan)Birthdate: 1953Birthplace: Brazil Race: MermanHeight: 6' (184 cm)Weight: 137 lbs (62 kg) Biography Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge Under the Amazon, there was once a kingdom of around 30,000 mermen. This kingdom was ruled by Rikuo and one day his kingdom was demolished by earthquakes and heavy volcanic activity. During these events, Rikuo was on the outskirts of the city and managed to escape the danger. He knew he couldn't have been the only one left and began to search for his people. After Pyron was defeated and left Earth, Rikuo met another survivor from his kingdom. Her name was Aqueria and they soon settled down together in order to rebuild their lost kingdom. They both had 3 sons and 12 eggs waiting to hatch. Rikuo's family live in a deep ocean trench that is around 150m deep. This trench shelters them and their eggs from harm. Near their home is a dangerous trench with fastocean currents. The currents in this trench are so strong that if anyone fell into it, including Rikuo, they wouldn't be able to swim free. Everyday, Rikuo would set out to search for more of his people and everyday his searches grew longer and longer. He would often search a radius of 200km and as deep as 1000m. Often times he could sense more of his people but he still couldn't find them. As his searches grew longer, he would spend less time with his family. During Darkstalkers 3, while out on one of his routine searches, Rikuo's son, Ricky, had vanished. Rikuo realized that if he couldn't protect his own family that he wouldn't be able to protect a whole kingdom. Rikuo believed that Ricky was drawn into Majigen, a dimension created by Jedah. Rikuo headed off to rescue his son.Game BiographiesDarkstalkers: The Night Warriors Darkstalkers: The Night WarriorsTitle: Hero of the Sea Story: Believed to be the last of his aquatic race, Rikuo searches the world for news of others of his kind.
