Forbidden Shoryuken (禁じ手・昇龍拳, Forbidden Rising Dragon Fist), also known as the Kinjite Shoryuken, is Gouken's Super Combo in Street Fighter IV. Both he and Ryu also perform the move if they should miss the initial midesction strike of the Shin Shoryuken or Metsu Shoryuken (Ryu only).

The Forbidden Shoryuken is simply a multi-hitting Shoryuken, with Gouken's version delivering the most at eight. These give both Gouken and Ryu the opportunity to use it as an anti-air of sorts, especially if they should mistime their Super/Ultra Combo. However, the move possesses a significant after-lag larger than that of a Fierce Shoryuken, making the move very punishable.
