Touji Sakata (坂田 冬次, Sakata Tōji) is a character from Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition. He is an aged man and one of the 2 original characters in this game, along with Tsugumi Sendo. Touji was the best friend and the rival of Tatsumi Suō (Blue Mary's grandfather and Geese Howard's master).
He is voiced by Masashi Sugawara.
Story[]
A prime martial artist in his youth, Touji Sakata was once a famous Aikido practitioner, and was good friends with Tatsumi Suo, a famous Jujutsu practitioner and the grandfather of "Blue" Mary Ryan. Although good friends, the two were also fierce rivals eager to try and one up another over who had the better martial art. Hoping the day would come that they would meet at the peak of their prime and engage in a final showdown, Touji's dreams were dashed when one of Tatsumi's students killed him over refusing to teach him further. That student would be Geese Howard, who was taught the legendary Hakkyokuseiken style, and would never forget it since he had faced Tung Fu Rue, Geese's former master, several times in the past.
Into the present day, Touji now spends the remainder of his life strolling down the streets of Southtown without a care in the world. Any thug foolish enough to try and mug who would be a supposedly weak and frail elderly person would suffer terrible consequences, and probably end up in a hospital for their insolence. However, ever since the reappearance of Geese Howard in the fighting world, Touji's interest has been somewhat moved. It seemed that the challenge of the crime lord had once again reactivated the dormant fighting spirit within him. Touji was fully aware of Geese's past and his transgression against his long passed friend. Inspired by the new batch of fighters that have appeared to challenge Geese, Touji just might yet revive his old fighting flame, and teach the new generation a thing or two about true battle experience.
Personality[]
Once a jolly and high spirited fighter who had earned a name for himself in the world of fighting with his solid and refined Aikido style, which allowed him to deliver several powerful blows in just a few seconds, Touji is now nothing more than a forgotten old man who is terribly resentful towards the society that once worshiped and admired his feats.
He is a serious man but also very cocky when fighting. He sports a scar on his left eye that gives the appearance of a mean and dangerous man.

- Slashing Aura: Through some unknown method, Touji can make his fan cut objects.
