Numerous spinoff products were made as well during the game's popularity: when Capcom licensed Hasbro to produced a line of action figures, Capcom were forced to give Ken the surname "Masters" to distinguish the character from Mattel's Ken Carson character from the Barbie toyline. "Street Fighter II" was a breakaway hit for Capcom, leading to the production of revised editions of the same game which included "Champion Edition" and "Hyper Fighting" in 1992, " Super Street Fighter II" in 1993 and "Super Turbo" in 1994, which all follow the same plot. In Ken's ending, he ends up marrying his girlfriend Eliza. In "Street Fighter II", Ken is invited to participate in the World Warrior tournament by Ryu, with Ken having already moved away from Japan to live in America. Ken and Ryu, along with former final boss Sagat, would be the only characters from the original "Street Fighter" to return in the game's true sequel, " Street Fighter II", first released in 1991. The single-player tournament can only be played with Ken after the second player defeats the first player in a two-player match. Within the actual game, Ken is for all intents and purpose a clone of Ryu controlled by the second player during competitive matches, with the only distinguishing aspects being that Ken wears a red karate gi, has blond hair and fights barefoot (in the original game, Ryu wears red slippers). Ken is described as a former sparring partner, rival and best friend of the main character, Ryu, who trained under the same master (a character whose identity would later be fleshed out as Gouken). The character's name was originally spelled in Japanese as nihongo2|拳| ("Ken"), which is the kanji character for fist, although Capcom dropped this in subsequent games, spelling his name in katakana instead ( nihongo2|ケン). Ken made his first appearance in the original " Street Fighter" released in 1987.
