The essentials: Ryu, the Street Fighter character, arms crossed in a guard, red headband and red gloves, teal karategi, in a night street. 5 panel polyptych, 4 size grids, from 50 to 200 cm / 20 to 79 in of total width. From €29 to €149 depending on size and framing.
Ryu's headband was white to begin with
Street Fighter was released in 1987 and Ryu wore a white headband. It only turned red with Street Fighter II in 1991 — the most discussed change in the series.
The character is a travelling karateka who is not chasing a title but an ever harder fight, which is what has made him the most reused figure in fighting games for thirty-five years.
What you see
Ryu is framed to mid thigh on the centre panel, forearms crossed in front of his chest, head down, eyes under the brow. He wears a red headband marked with Japanese characters, a teal karategi with the sleeves torn off, and red gloves on his forearms.
A blue aura swirls around him. The setting is a blurred night street, with pink and turquoise signage on the outer panels. From 3 m / 10 ft you see a blue and pink contrast; from 1 m / 3 ft the belt and the weave of the karategi come through.
Technical specifications
How to hang a 5 panel canvas
The five panels go side by side: the image is continuous and reassembles in one piece. Put up the centrepanel first, its middle 145 cm / 57 in from the floor, then add the panels in pairs eitherside, checking the level at each pair. A paper template on the wall before drilling saves redoing the holes.
The width rule is the same as for a single canvas: the set covers about two thirds of the width ofthe furniture below it. The size chart by wall type gives the full size-to-placement table.

Frequently asked questions
What size 5 piece canvas should I choose?
The five panels are hung side by side, so what counts is the total width — 50, 100, 150 or 200 cm / 20, 39, 59 or 79 in depending on the grid — not the size of a single panel. Allow the second grid above a chest of drawers, the 30 × 40 grid above a three-seater sofa, and the 40 × 60 grid on a clear wall over three metres / 10 ft.
How do I hang a canvas in 5 parts?
Start with the centre panel, its middle 145 cm / 57 in from the floor, then add the panels in pairs either side, checking the level at each pair. A paper template on the wall before drilling saves redoing the holes.
Does it arrive ready to hang?
Two options in the selector. Without frame: the panels ship rolled in a protective tube with a white border, to be mounted on stretchers. With frame: they arrive already mounted on wooden stretchers, ready to hang. The five stretcher kit covers the panels sold on their own.
What colour was Ryu's headband originally?
White, in the first Street Fighter in 1987. It became red with Street Fighter II in 1991, the most discussed change in the series.
Are the 5 panels sold together?
Yes. The price covers the five panels, and the grid chosen applies to the set: the panels are not sold separately and ship together.
How do I clean a canvas print?
A dry microfibre cloth handles almost everything. For a mark that stays, use a barely damp cloth with no detergent, wiping across the surface. No abrasive sponge, no glass cleaner.
