Oro is a 140 year old Japanese hermit who lives with his pets in a cave in the
Amazon jungle. Free from greed or ambition, he has opened his soul
to the power of the Earth and lives in harmony with nature. The power of the Earth has
allowed him to live for many years, and he has been able to reach his full fighting
potential, beyond the skills of any ordinary man. In order to provide a more fair fight
against his opponents, Oro sealed the use of one arm through magic. Apart from mealtime, he
is limited to the use of one arm for his daily affairs. Occasionally, the magic seal swaps
arms while he sleeps.
Oro did not want his unique style do die with him, so when he felt his time was
near, Oro began roaming the earth in search of a student to
pass on his teachings to. He entered the third World Warriors tournament in order to
achieve this goal. He encountered many possible students, but none with the lack of greed
and ambition that he felt were needed to reach their full potential. Finally, he found a
worthy student when he witnessed Ryu's defeat of Gill. Sensing merely a fraction of Ryu's
chi, Oro knew that Ryu was the only one capable of casting aside his human limitations and
reaching his full potential fighting capacity. After the fight, Oro began his search for
Ryu, hoping to one day find and teach him.
