Introduced in Street Fighter
Adon
- Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (SFA series), Atsushi Imaruoka (SFIV) (Japanese); R. Martin Klein (SFA: The Animation), Taliesin Jaffe (SFIV) (English)
Adon (アドン) introduced in the original Street Fighter as a Muay Thai warrior. He also appears in Alpha, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3. In the first two Alpha games, Adon is characterized as a former pupil of Sagat, seeking to surpass his disgraced master by defeating him, which he succeeds in the second Alpha game.[1] In Alpha 3, he tries to track down and challenge Akuma.[2] He briefly appears in Sagat's Street Fighter IV prologue, where he is defeated by Sagat. Adon is a playable character in Super Street Fighter IV,[3] where decides to join the S.I.N tournament and gets his rematch with Sagat, defeating him there.[4] In his ending, he makes fun of redundant Sagat and since then he refers to himself as a new Muay Thai master.[5] Like Birdie and Eagle, Adon and Sagat share a motif: both characters' special moves are inspired by the jaguar, and the tiger.
Adon appears in one episode of the Street Fighter cartoon series as a non-speaking role. He also makes a brief cameo in Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation.
He was the only character created by

Gen has been positively received for his in-universe longevity, and for being one of the few characters in fighting games who has multiple movesets and who is challenging for most players to master.
Joe
Joe (ジョー, Jō), appears as the first American opponent in the original Street Fighter, is an underground kickboxing champion who practices by participating in street fights. Similarities between Joe and "Ghost", the blond underground fighter in red jeans from the Capcom game Final Fight: Streetwise, have led many to believe they are the same character.[22]
Ken

Sagat first appears as the
His next appearance was in
Sagat appears in the prequel series Street Fighter Alpha. In addition to fleshing out his rivalry with Ryu, a rivalry with his former apprentice Adon is introduced there as well, along with new character Dan Hibiki, whose father, Go, was killed by Sagat in a fight years before. It was also revealed that Sagat lost his right eye during that fight. The Alpha series also shows Sagat joining M. Bison's criminal organization Shadaloo, only to leave in Street Fighter Alpha 3 after he discovers that Bison had wanted to experiment his Psycho Power against Ryu, allowing him to realize the pettiness of his vendetta against Ryu. Sagat is an unlockable character in Street Fighter EX3, where his story has his resentment for Ryu fading.
Sagat returns in Street Fighter IV as a playable character with the animosity in his feud with Ryu no longer present and even referring to him in his ending as a "friend". In Street Fighter V, Sagat is featured as part of the third season of downloadable content. During his story, he is briefly tempted by Satsui no Hadō but overcomes it, coming to understand Ryu's struggles in the process.
Sagat also appears in crossover games such as
Basim Usmani of Dualshockers described him as the most believable villain of the series, a celebrated over 7 ft tall kickboxer that used very few words. They also praised his design compared to other fighters in the series, stating "He is gigantic, arrogant, and muscular in a way that is only slightly exaggerated, [...] He lives to fight and usually appears to be having a good time."[31] IGN's D. F. Smith noted that while much of his design didn't stand out, "Throw in that face, though, and everything changes," adding that elements such as his scar and eye patch "come together to make a guy who means business." Smith further noted his importance as one of the few characters from the original Street Fighter to appear in later installments of the series, stating that while he wasn't as popular as Ryu, "he's certainly pulled together a following of his own."[32] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek described him as "a bit of an antihero", whose personality is reflected in how he fights, comparing him to Ryu but describing him as "far more blunt, unforgiving, and controlling". He further praised his story for being one of redemption, and how he eventually comes to see the world the same way his rival Ryu does.[33]
Though Capcom has not stated the inspirations for Sagat's character, IGN noted a close resemblance to manga
Introduced in the Street Fighter II series
Akuma
Balrog
- Voiced by: Joji Nakata (SFII: The Animated Movie), Tomomichi Nishimura (SFII V), Koichi Yamadera (SFA3, Capcom vs. SNK series), Sōnosuke Nagashiro (SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos), Satoshi Tsuruoka (SFIV, SFXTK, SFV) (Japanese); Paul Dobson (SF animated series), Joe Romersa(SFII: The Animated Movie, SFII V Animaze dub), Werner Richmond (SFII V ADV dub), Bob Carter (SFIV, SFXTK, SFV) (English)
Balrog is a nearly 6 ft 6 in tall African-American boxer wearing blue trunks with white trim and a torn white shirt under a blue tank top, as well as red boxing gloves and boxing shoes. In Japan, he is named M. Bison, with the letter standing for "Mike", after boxer Mike Tyson. However, when the developers of Street Fighter II were working on the overseas versions, they changed the names of three of the boss characters for the English localization, including M. Bison, as they feared naming him "Mike Bison" could cause legal issues.[36] Ironically, years later, Mike Tyson revealed that he was unaware of the character, but was honored by the homage.[37]
Balrog appears in Street Fighter II as one of the opponents, and would become a playable character in subsequent revisions of the game, beginning with Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. He is characterized as a bully who is a tough, aggressive and belligerent street-raised boxer seeking the "American Dream" and one of the "Four Devas" (Shitennou, "Four Heavenly Kings") of Shadaloo. His next major appearance was in Street Fighter Alpha 3, where he was a sub-boss in the arcade version who faced certain characters and became playable after certain requirements were met, but was also playable via a secret code. He was made into a regular playable character in the arcade update and subsequent home versions and given his own in-game plot, home stage, and endings. This incarnation of Balrog also appears in Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2; he also appears in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos. Balrog appears in Street Fighter IV, once more serving Shadaloo in hopes of making easy money. He also appears in the crossover fighting game, Street Fighter X Tekken, with his official tag partner, Vega. He reappears in Street Fighter V as a DLC character, released in July 2016.
In the 1994 anime film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Balrog is portrayed as one of Bison's three top men, like in Street Fighter II, serving as a representative and informant for Bison during a drug deal in Las Vegas. He ends up fighting E. Honda during the final battle, but Honda defeats him off-screen and later carries him to safety. He is presumably handed over to the authorities after Bison is defeated by Ryu and Ken. During fight, he wears dark green cargo pants instead of boxing trunks and lacks his boxing gloves. He is voiced by Jouji Nakata in the original Japanese version and Joe Romersa in the English dub.
In the 1994 live-action film version of
The 1995 anime series Street Fighter II V features a significantly altered depiction of Balrog, as he is a Shadaloo spy who has infiltrated Interpol. Balrog hires Cammy to assassinate Chun-Li's father Dorai under the false pretense that Dorai is the Shadaloo spy. Though Cammy carries out the assassination, Balrog later learns from his superiors that Dorai survived, and that Interpol is covering it up to lure the spy out. He orders Cammy to finish Dorai off, during which Cammy learns of Balrog's treachery. Balrog is later confronted by Cammy and he attempts to kill her, but with help from Fei-Long and the Interpol chief, he is subdued and arrested. He was voiced by Tomomichi Nishimura in Japanese, while Joe Romersa reprises his role from Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie in the English dub.
In the 1995 Street Fighter animated series, Balrog appears as a computer programmer working for Bison. He appears in the episode "Medium is the Message", where he was voiced by Paul Dobson.
In the 2009
Balrog was voted 18th in Capcom's own popularity poll of 85 characters for the 15th anniversary of Street Fighter.[38] IGN ranked Balrog at number 15 in their list of top Street Fighter characters in 2008, noting his similarities to Tyson as well as his role as one of boxing's representatives in fighting games.[39] Tyson would become aware of Balrog's similarities in 2019, decades after his introduction, commenting that he felt honored that they made the impersonation.[40]

Inspired by Bruce Lee, Fei Long is as an action film star from Hong Kong who enters the World Warrior tournament to test his skills as a martial artist. In his ending for Super Street Fighter II, he gives up his film career and forms his own kung-fu style known as the Soaring-Heaven style (飛天流, Hitenryū, meaning "Sky-Flying style"). His stage resembles the Tiger Balm Garden prior to its demolition.[43]
Feilong appears in the console versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3, where his stage was inspired by Kowloon Park. The game takes place before Feilong achieved fame as a movie star, as he makes his first hit movie in his ending in the game. He later appears as a playable character in Street Fighter IV.

Feilong also appears briefly in the manga Cammy by Masahiko Nakahira, where he challenges Cammy to a fight. However, she ignores him, and he is forced to return to a movie shooting. Nakahira depicted Feilong as wearing the outfit Bruce Lee wore in the film Game of Death."
Korean American actor Brandon Soo Hoo played Feilong in the fan film Street Fighter: Enter the Dragon.[44]

T. Hawk
- Voiced by: David Vincent(SSFIV) (English)
During the development of Super Street Fighter II, T. Hawk was named "Geronimo", but his name was changed after an American staff member suggested that the name "Geronimo" could be seen as racially offensive.[49] T. Hawk's hairstyle was also changed from an Elvis-style haircut to one more consistent with his heritage on the suggestion of Steve Patton, a staffer from Capcom's US office who is of Native American heritage.[50]
T. Hawk was introduced as a grappler; despite his height at over 7 ft, he is much quicker and more maneuverable than the series' other large type characters such as
T. Hawk is one of the four new characters introduced in Super Street Fighter II. He is a member of the fictional Thunderfoot
In the 1994 live-action film version of Street Fighter, T. Hawk is played by Gregg Rainwater and is a military sergeant serving the Allied Nations Peacekeeping Force under Colonel Guile. This version of him is portrayed as a Native American.
He also makes a appearance in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, in which he travels to America to seek out and defeat Ken Masters. During the fight, T. Hawk makes it clear that he has heard of Ryu, and though he appears enraged when Ken claims that he is not as challenging an opponent as Ryu, he implies a desire to fight Ryu. After being defeated, he develops a new respect for Ken, but one of Shadaloo's monitor cyborgs observes the fight and provides Bison with information about Ken's backstory with Ryu, leading him to seek out and recruit Ken in Ryu's stead.
In the cartoon series
Den of Geek considered him to be lacking in interesting qualities while calling a version of the character in the Street Fighter cartoon a doofus. They further described his existence in the series as part of a mid-'1990s fad of including token Native American characters in popular media.[48] DualShockers described the characters as "groundbreaking", noting that by that point there had not been prominent Native American characters in video games, praising Capcom for creating a fictitious tribe instead of appropriating, though acknowledging he was "at first glance, a complete stereotype of Native American culture: feathered headband, facial warpaint, excessive denim."[55] Paste stated "his tragic story of loss and redemption is one of the better bits of fighting game lore," further praising the character's high dexterity and adding hope his character would get a happy ending, "but for now he's a gem among the list of regular side-characters."[56]

Cody
- Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna (Final Fight CD), Koichi Yamadera (SFA3), Nobuyuki Hiyama (SFA3 Drama Album), Daisuke Kishio (SSFIV, SFXTK, SFV) (Japanese); Michael T. Coleman (SSFIV, SFXT, SFV) (English)
Cody Travers (コーディー・トラバース, Kōdī Torabāsu) first appears as the lead character of the 1989 beat-em-up
After the events of Final Fight, Cody is mentioned in the SNES sequel, Final Fight 2, where he is shown in the opening flashback to be the one delivering the finishing blow to the Mad Gear gang's leader, Belger, from the first game, but Cody himself does not appear in the second game at all. His absence from the second game was given an in-story explanation that he was taking a vacation with Jessica during the time of Final Fight 2.
Cody makes a cameo appearance in Guy's Final Fight-themed home stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2, alongside his girlfriend, Jessica. The couple makes a similar cameo appearance in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, in which they're among the spectators watching the fight at the background of the "Mall Madness" stage.
His next major appearance was in 1998's Street Fighter Alpha 3. In game, Cody had ended his relationship with Jessica (who has since left Metro City to study abroad in Europe) and became a convicted felon, having been thrown into jail after becoming a vigilante. Bored with his life, Cody had wandered the streets looking for any riffraff he could find, and subsequently beat them into submission until he was finally caught and jailed. Instead of his jeans and white T-shirt from Final Fight, Cody's wardrobe now consists of a blue-and-white striped prison uniform with handcuffs on his wrists (which he is actually able to remove when he taunts his opponent, but fights wearing them anyway) and stubble on his face. His fighting style in the game is modeled after his abilities from Final Fight. During his storyline, Cody is challenged by Birdie and ends up joining forces with his friend and former ally, Guy, in his fight against M. Bison.
Cody would appear in two subsequent Final Fight games following his appearance in Alpha 3.
Cody returned in Super Street Fighter IV, breaking out of prison to try to cure his boredom. His rival is Guy, who tries to convince him to team with him to fight Seth. After defeating Seth, Cody runs into Guy once again and after deflecting Guy's praise, leaves to return to his cell where he claims he belongs. Cody is also featured as a DLC character in Street Fighter X Tekken, with Guy as his official tag partner.[58]
Cody returned as a playable character in Street Fighter V. Now free from prison and no longer forced to wear the uniform and handcuffs, Cody succeeds Mike Haggar as the new Mayor of Metro City. Though he is bored with the bureaucracy of the position and misses fighting the city's gangs, he secretly enjoys his new life. Under Cody's direction, as of Street Fighter 6 World Tour, Metro City becomes mostly lively.[59]

In Final Fight 3, released in 1995, Guy finally returns to Metro City and teams up with Haggar to rid Metro City of the Skull Cross gang, the latest gang to try to pick up where Mad Gear had left off. They are joined by Metro City SCU officer Lucia Morgan and former gang member who double crossed the gang, Dean (who wanted revenge when Skull Cross murdered his family). The four succeed, and are able to rid Metro City of the criminals. Metro City is left in shambles, but Guy does not seem to care, and leaves that to Haggar.
In 1998, Guy was featured in Final Fight Revenge, the American-produced fighting game for the arcades and Sega Saturn. In 2006, the second American-produced Final Fight sequel, Final Fight: Streetwise, a reimagined Guy's character as a Japanese crime lord in the Japan Town district of Metro City.

Guy's character was created and originally designed by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, who felt that it was a Capcom company tradition to often feature a ninja character, even in the Western-themed game Gun.Smoke. His work-in-progress name was simply "Ninja",[65] inspired by the actor Sho Kosugi[66] who often played ninja characters during the 1980s. According to Capcom's Tatsuya Minami, Guy was included in Street Fighter because he was extremely popular and easy to translate to the one-on-one fighting genre.[67]

Karin Kanzuki
- Voiced by: Miho Yamada (SFA3, Namco × Capcom), Aya Endō (SFV) (Japanese); Lauren Landa (SFV) (English)
Karin Kanzuki originally appears as Sakura's schoolmate in Masahiko Nakahira's Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru! manga, published between 1996 and 1998.[81] Karin's rivalry with Sakura is analogous to the relationship between Ken and Ryu, the difference being her personality is "colder and more self-centered".[82] Her last name is a tribute to Masaomi Kanzaki, a manga artist that worked on Street Fighter II related manga in the early 1990s.[83] Karin's first video game appearance was originally meant to be Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, but was ultimately cut.[82] She was later integrated into the Street Fighter video game series as a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 3. The developmental team for Street Fighter Alpha 3 introduced Karin to provide a contrast to R. Mika, a character designed to be "tricky and technical".[84] For her original appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Karin, like that of her rival Sakura, wears a sailor fuku with a predominantly red color scheme and a blue ribbon. Her hair is styled into long, oversized ringlets in a European Victorian-era fashion.[citation needed] Her fighting style is Kanzuki-ryū kakutōjutsu, a mixed martial arts style she claims to have created herself.
Within series lore, Karin is concepted as the only daughter of an

Nash
- Voiced by: Kōsuke Toriumi (SFV) (Japanese); Scott McNeil (SF animated series), Dean Wein (SFII V Animaze dub), Jay Hickman (SFII V ADV dub), Mike McFarland (SFV), Michael Daingerfield(Puzzle Fighter) (English)
Charlie Nash (チャーリー・ナッシュ, Chārī Nasshu) is a soldier and former comrade in arms of Guile. Originally, prior to Street Fighter V the character was known simply as Nash (ナッシュ, Nasshu) in Japan and as Charlie in overseas versions. The name change was done following a suggestion by a staff member in Capcom's U.S. subsidiary who felt that "Nash" was not natural sounding enough for American players to relate to.
Nash is first mentioned by Guile, where his motive for entering the tournament is to confront the tournament's host M. Bison for an incident in Cambodia that involved him, Bison, and Charlie Nash.[108] Subsequent sequels in the series fleshed out his backstory, where he is the military comrade and close friend of Guile, who is looking to avenge the death of his friend who was killed by Bison sometime before the events of the game.[108]
Nash first appears as a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha, where he is a first lieutenant in the United States Air Force,[109] assigned to track down Bison and uncover corruption within the American military. Charlie's ending sequence in the original Alpha, as well as in Street Fighter Alpha 2, both end with him being killed after defeating Bison: in Alpha, Bison attacks him from behind when he calls for backup and in Alpha 2, a corrupt officer piloting his intended backup helicopter shoots him for Bison and sends him falling down a waterfall. Street Fighter Alpha 3 was initially the sole exception to this convention, which actually has Charlie surviving in his ending. His death scene in Alpha 2, however, is treated by Street Fighter V as canon, making Charlie's appearance in Alpha 3 semi-canonical.
Despite Nash's apparent death, Street Fighter IV would provide hints of his survival in the game's storyline. Charlie returns as a playable fighter in Street Fighter V, which reveals that he underwent reconstructive surgery after he was mortally wounded by M. Bison, leaving him with stitches across his body and head with gray, dead-like patches of skin, as well as a green jewel on his forehead. It is actually the work of Illuminati, and his revival project was headed by Kolin (under a guise as Helen), using the body sample Twelve's prototype version, Eleven, created by Urien. After being revived, Nash's lifespan is limited, as Nash must save his energy to confront Bison. Nash sacrifices his life on attempting a suicide mission by absorbing Bison's powers as much as he can, weakening Bison long enough for Ryu to finish Bison.[110]
Charlie also appears as a playable fighter in
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nash appears as a spirit in the adventure mode.
In the 1994 film adaptation Street Fighter, Charlie is amalgamated with the character of Blanka to form the character Carlos "Charlie" Blanka, a Brazilian friend of Guile and a soldier in his unit, who is taken prisoner in Bison's Shadaloo compound. When Bison discovers the friendship between Charlie and Guile, he sends Charlie to be brainwashed and mutated by Dr. Dhalsim to become the green-skinned, red-haired killing machine known simply as Blanka. Dhalsim.
Charlie Nash is played by Chris Klein in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, where he is portrayed as a member of Interpol.[111][112]
Nash is a central character in the miniseries Street Fighter: Resurrection portrayed by Alain Moussi.[113]
Though he does not physically appear in the film, Charlie is alluded to several times in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. Dialogue reveals that prior to the film's events, he was killed by Bison, and now serves as Guile's primary motive for personal revenge against the warlord. Though sympathetic towards Guile for losing Charlie, Chun-Li successfully persuades Guile to put his personal vendetta aside and help Interpol fight Shadaloo. Guile later attempts to fight Bison, who openly mocks Charlie to provoke him before defeating him but sparing him as an insult.
The 1995 anime television series Street Fighter II V, Nash first appears in episode 19, when he and Guile are hired by Ken's father to rescue him from Bison. Nash is later killed off in episode 26 after Bison strangles him to death. He retains the name "Nash" for the English dub, although Guile calls him "Charlie" just before his death in episode 26, and the narrator refers to him as "Charlie Nash". As the series was produced while Street Fighter Alpha was still in its earliest development stages, Charlie bears no resemblance to his video game counterpart, instead sporting slicked brown hair and a beard, vaguely similar to actor Jean Reno.
The American Street Fighter animated series, which aired from 1995 to 1997, adapts Blanka's origin from the 1994 film, combining Charlie and Blanka into one character as well. Charlie's hair color and skin tone was also changed to suit the character's different ethnicity in the show. In "Eye of the Beholder".
In Masaomi Kanzaki's manga adaptation of Street Fighter II, Guile is directly responsible for Charlie's death. Years before the events of the manga, Bison uses Charlie and other members of Guile's unit as unknowing test subjects for a mind-controlling substance. Charlie went insane during a mission and began attacking unarmed villagers, causing Guile to kill him. Charlie is only shown in one panel in the manga, which depicts him as a silhouette with an insane smile.
In the American
Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek described him as simply cooler than Guile in every way, adding praise for his appearance in Street Fighter V, adding "His story in the latest game is tragic, but it's also a good piece of closure, even if we didn't get enough Guile/Charlie interaction."[33]

Rose first appears in Street Fighter Alpha, characterized as a mystic fortune teller from Genoa, Italy, who searches the world for M. Bison to eradicate his evil power with her unique ability, known as Soul Power. At the end of the game, Rose engages Bison in combat and seems to kill him. In the ending of Street Fighter Alpha 2, however, she consults her tarot cards and learns that Bison survived.[116] Rose was inspired by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character Lisa Lisa.[117]
At the climax of
Rose returns in the home versions of Street Fighter IV as an additional character, voiced by Gina Grad. Her purpose is to track down Bison and stop him for good after learning that he has survived Akuma's attack at the end of the second World Warrior tournament.[119] While competing in the tournament, she runs into Ryu. She is determined to halt his advancement for his own protection, saying that he is "the last hope", and they reluctantly fight. In her ending, she is confronted by Bison, who takes his remaining power back from her, causing her to fall to the ground unconscious. As Bison stands over her, he declares his intention to keep her alive to satisfy his soul. The situation is resolved in Guy's ending of Super Street Fighter IV, when Guy rescues Rose from Bison as he attempts to flee with her. Rose appears as a playable character in the fifth season of Street Fighter V, where she has taken on a new apprentice, Menat.

Because she has lived her entire life in Bangkok, she is incapable of speaking English. In the movie's deleted scenes, there is a part where she is confronted by Nash and her eyes turn red, meaning that she was likely meant to be possessed by M. Bison as she was in the games.

Sodom
- Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (SFA series), Sadao Nunome (SFA: The Animation)
Sodom originally appeared in the 1989 beat-em-up game Final Fight, where he is the boss of the Subway stage. An underground wrestling promoter dressed in a samurai-style helmet and gear, Sodom fights the player in an underground ring in the Metro City's subway, wielding two katana swords. In 1993's Mighty Final Fight, there are three Sodoms (or Katanas, as the character is called in the English version), known as the Three Katana Brothers. In the English-language localization of Final Fight for the Super NES and Sega CD, Sodom was renamed Katana. The name change was repeated in the SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 to maintain consistency. The initial name change was due to its reference to sodomy, as well as a possible religious reference to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sodom's first appearance in the Street Fighter series was in the original
Apart from the Alpha series, Sodom appears as a playable character in 1999's Final Fight Revenge and makes two cameos in 1997's Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. Sodom makes a cameo in the background of a stage in 2012's Street Fighter X Tekken.
Sodom makes a cameo appearance in the 1999 anime film Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation as a fighter who travels with Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and some other fighters to Dr. Sadler's laboratory to find and rescue Ryu's alleged younger brother, Shun, though Sodom's comments hint that he is only doing it to prove he is not a coward. As the fighters battle it out to demonstrate their skills to Sadler, Sodom takes on Ken, but is beaten. He and the other fighters are later imprisoned in a cell to have their fighting Ki stripped, but they are released by Ken and Chun-Li.
For Capcom's 15th anniversary of Street Fighter, SOTA Toys released a series of action figures, amongst which was Sodom. The figure was fully posable with 16 points of articulation, and modeled after his Street Fighter Alpha appearance.[121]
UGO Networks stated that "Street Fighter series has seen its share of oddball characters, but few are as goofy as Sodom," further describing him as having one of the "nuttiest backstory of any fighters".[122] Basim Usmani of Dualshockers praised his design, stating "Sometimes Capcom takes a wild swing on a character, and the Japanophile Metro City gang leader, Sodom, is as high concept as they come."[31] On the other hand, Doug Perry from IGN specifically singled out as a character in Street Fighter Alpha 3 he'd never play due to its oversized cast, calling him "stupid" and adding "Sorry to those of you who play him. I just have one question... Why?"[123] Paste described his story as interesting, but felt the character was a footnote in terms of the series overall, adding "He's little more than a comical and fun addition from the Final Fight roster."[103] Den of Geek added that they were torn about the character, calling his introduction "the epitome of badass" due to his size and presentation, but responded negatively after he was brought to Street Fighter Alpha with "I mean…it's funny, don't get me wrong. [...] I just feel that it wasn't the best way to answer his mystique."[33]

Alex makes an appearance in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars as a playable character, alongside other Street Fighter characters, Ryu and Chun-Li. He also appears in Capcom Fighting All-Stars and Capcom Fighting Evolution.[89][130] Alex reappears as a playable character in Street Fighter V as the first of 6 characters to be released after the game's launch in 2016.[131] In the story mode of Street Fighter V, "A Shadow Falls", Alex is first shown winning a pro-wrestling tournament. He then competes in a tag-team exhibition match with Laura against Zangief and R. Mika, which is broadcast live on television. However the signal cuts out due to a Black Moon detonating over New York City, causing a blackout. Dhalsim comes to his trailer, wanting the chess piece, but Alex believes Dhalsim is a mugger and fights him. Dhalsim successfully convinces Alex otherwise and receives the chess piece from Alex. Dhalsim then tells Alex that big things will happen to him in the future, foreshadowing his role as the main character of the Street Fighter III series, and teleports away.[132][133]

Dudley (ダッドリー, Daddorī) is an upper class heavyweight boxer from Britain with powerful techniques and speed. He seeks perfection both in and out of the ring, always behaving as an impeccable gentleman. He is also the son of an athlete who later became a successful businessman. When his father's business began to fail when he was in college, Dudley was able to recover his losses thanks to his boxing career.[124][139] In Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact,[140] he fights outside a London pub called the Sherlock Holmes, while Knightsbridge tube station and the Harrods department store can be seen in his 3rd Strike background. When his father's prized Jaguar XK120 is purchased from a debtor's auction, Dudley goes after the buyer, a man named Gill. In Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Dudley has received the honorary title of "Sir"[141] after making a comeback and winning the championship title, and is invited into a contest that will be held in the presence of the royal family. Now known as Sir Dudlington, he decides to travel the world and improve himself before the day of the match.[129] He is also shown to have a great interest in the gardens of his illustrious country estate, occasionally losing track of time, or getting lost, as shown in his Third Strike ending.
In
Alex Donaldson of VG247 described Dudley as "the reverse of [Street Fighter]'s most famous Boxer", adding "He's some of Street Fighter's design at its best – simple, understandable, and with a fighting style that is a perfect match for the style and personality of the fighter."[142] Ash Bates of Cultured Vultures described Dudley as the "infinitely better option" compared to Balrog, praising the character's style and sophistication that he brought to his appearances, further adding "There's just something charismatic about a well-dressed man battering seven shades out of you, before throwing a solitary rose on your unconscious body and declaring you to be 'guttertrash'."[143] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek shared similar sentiments, adding that the character "oozes style in everything he does, [...] Dudley simply is the man."[33]

His ultimate goal is to test the skills of several warriors and coerce them into his cause. Gill appears in his default costume as a tall, muscular man with flowing blond hair, the right side of his body colored red, and the left side colored blue, wearing nothing but a loincloth. 2nd Impact introduces Gill's younger brother Urien as a player character of similar build and attire but with short hair; in addition, Urien's body is the same color on both sides. In Urien's ending, Gill is revealed to have been promoted to "Emperor" (天帝, Tentei, "Celestial Emperor") after Urien takes over Gill's former presidency, which he still holds by the time of 3rd Strike[145] The blond woman who assists Gill before battle in 3rd Strike is his secretary Kolin (コーリン, Kōrin), who also appears in Dudley's ending in the first two games, handing him the keys to Dudley's car.[146] Gill is not playable in any of the arcade versions of the Street Fighter III games. However, he is selectable once he is unlocked from within the console versions of 2nd Impact and 3rd Strike.

Hugo (ヒューゴー, Hyūgō) is a massive professional wrestler from Germany (7ft10in ) (438lbs 200 kg) who first appears in Final Fight under the name Andore (アンドレ). He made his first Street Fighter appearance in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact,[147] in which he wears a similar pink leopard-print shirt and pants with chains around his waist. Because of his physical appearance and strength, Hugo is often compared to André the Giant, a real-life wrestler who worked for the WWF in the mid-80's and inspired the Andore character, extending as far as Hugo's rivalry with Alex, mirroring that between André and Hulk Hogan. Hugo is the son of a farmer from the German countryside and was raised alongside his two younger sisters. After leaving his hometown at the age of 20, he becomes a popular wrestler in the US, with former street warrior Poison, another enemy character from Final Fight, as his manager.[124][139] In 2nd Impact, Hugo seeks a partner for an upcoming tag team wrestling tournament due to take place in a few months. Hugo's final opponent in the single-player mode varies, the four possibilities being Gill, Ryu, Elena and Necro. Afterwards, Hugo and his rival go on to form a tag team to compete in the CWA tag tournament. In 3rd Strike,[148] Hugo achieves such an overwhelming victory in the tag tournament that no other wrestler dares to challenge him anymore. Worried about the lack of matches for Hugo, Poison forms a new wrestling organization with him, recruiting only the best fighters. In Hugo's ending, he and Poison form the Huge Wrestling Army (H.W.A.), which includes other 3rd Strike characters.[129][149] Outside the Street Fighter III series, Hugo appears as a playable character in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos and Capcom USA's Final Fight Revenge.

IGN's Jesse Schedeen stated "Ibuki is an apple that falls a bit far from the ninja tree. She's not a musclebound brute, but a young, quirky girl still finding her way in the world," adding that her eccentric nature was "part of what makes her so fun."[175] Martin Robinson of AskMen stated "ninjas might be ten-a-penny in videogames, but none are as effortlessly cool as Ibuki" and added that she "is one of a handful of characters worth salvaging from Street Fighter III."[176] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek praised her as "too fun not to like", noting her complex life specifically and giving additional praise to her role as the straight man to Rolento's eccentric behavior in Street Fighter X Tekken.[33] Paste stated "her design, both aesthetically and as a fighter, is actually pretty strong", further calling her the best ninja of the series "by far".[177] Amanda LaPergola and Becky Chambers of The Mary Sue praised her status as a ninja, but criticized the emphasis of her story on her story on meeting boys, a trait they felt was too common amongst female characters in the Street Fighter universe.[178]

Necro (ネクロ, Nekuro), whose real name is Illia (イリヤ, Iriya), was born in a poor Russian village near a lake. He is the third of four children, with two older brothers and a younger sister. He also has massive data. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he wanders off from his home village and into the vicinity of Moscow, where he comes into contact with Gill's organization, which remodels his DNA to turn him into a living weapon, granting him superhuman flexibility.[179] His fighting style is simulated by a computer, then programmed into his brain with cyber implants.[124][180] Necro has a long reach and can use throws and electrocution. In his ending, he is tricked by Gill and left for dead in a facility, until he is rescued by a young girl named Effie (エフィー, Efī), and the pair go on a journey together. Necro's story is the same in 2nd Impact, in which he gains the nickname "super electromagnetic alien". In this game, however, he also has a role as one of Hugo's potential final bosses and tag partners, forming the tag team "Thunderbolt". In 3rd Strike,[181] Necro and Effie are pursued by agents of the organization, but still live in hope of "truth and liberty".

Twelve
- Voiced by: Lawrence Bayne
Twelve (トゥエルヴ, Tueruvu) is a humanoid creature introduced as a playable character in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. His stage background, shared with Necro, is Saint Basil's Cathedral. Twelve is the ultimate humanoid weapon developed by Gill's organization. He has a shapeshifting body that is an improved and strengthened version of the prototype body given to Necro. Via the X.C.O.P.Y. super art, Twelve has the ability to briefly copy his opponent's form and moves. His targets are filled with despair when he corners them.[129] His objective is to track down Necro and Effie, who are fleeing from the organization.[196] Twelve is considered a bottom tier character due to his low damage output and health.
Urien
- Voiced by: Yūji Ueda (2nd Impact), Masayuki Katou (SFV) (Japanese); Lawrence Bayne (3rd Strike), Bill Rogers (SFV) (English)
Within series lore, Gill and Urien (ユリアン, Yurian) are the children of gifted parents who excelled physically and intellectually.[197] The Illuminati separated the brothers from their birth parents at the age of six and gave them a specialized education to become candidates for the organization's presidency. Gill was ultimately chosen, leaving Urien bitter with resentment.[124][198] In 2nd Impact, Urien challenges Gill for the presidency. He eventually gains the title, only to learn that Gill has been promoted to Emperor, the true leader of the Illuminati, whose existence is known only to its presidents and chairmen. In 3rd Strike, in spite of his new position, Urien still resents the supremacy of his brother.[199] He decides to eliminate Gill permanently and destroys the preservation facility where Gill is still recovering.[80] During the character introduction that precedes every match in Street Fighter III, he is presented as wearing business attire prior to the beginning of his fight, where shortly afterwards his skin darkens and his clothes disappear, leaving him wearing only a white loincloth like Gill.
Gavin Jasper from Den of Geek placed Urien 34th place in a ranking list of Street Fighter characters, noted that his role as a disgruntled underling plotting to usurp his brother calls into question who is the true main villain of the Street Fighter III series.[48] As Urien is essentially a head and palette swap of Gill's in-game model and gameplay mechanics, Jasper praised the developers of 2nd Impact for successfully differentiating both characters by applying select variations to Gill's moveset and visual design to create Urien. Ian Walker from Kotaku noted that Urien was popular with players in both casual and competitive spheres of Street Fighter III due to his distinct look and abilities.[200]

Decapre
- Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English)
- Portrayed by: Katrina Durden
Decapre (ディカープリ, Dikāpuri, Декапри) is a character who makes her first playable appearance in Ultra Street Fighter IV. She is a member of a special unit within Shadaloo called the "Dolls", or Bison Elite Guard (ベガ親衛隊, Bega Shin'eitai), which is composed of twelve young women brainwashed to serve as Bison's personal assassins. She first appears as a non-player character in Street Fighter Alpha 3, making a cameo in Juli and Juni's introduction. In Ultra Street Fighter IV, it is revealed that she is an earlier, imperfect product of Shadaloo's cloning experiments that would eventually result in Cammy's creation. Years later, during the S.I.N. fighting tournament, she escapes the Shadaloo testing facility that houses her and goes on a murderous rampage. In Street Fighter V however, Decapre is eventually being rescued by Cammy, with the help from Juri, and fully recovers to aid them in the final battle against the Shadaloo. As of Street Fighter 6, Decapre becomes a Delta Red soldier, like Cammy before her.
The twelve members of the Dolls are named after the months of the Gregorian calendar in various languages, "Decapre" alluding to the Russian word for December, which is actually "Dekabr" (Декабрь).[78][79] She bears a strong resemblance to Cammy (even without her mask), though she speaks with a heavy Russian accent and wears a metallic mask to conceal a large scar covering most of her face, until she discard it in the end of Street Fighter V.[221][222] Katrina Durden portrays Decapre in the miniseries Street Fighter: Resurrection. Paste noted that while her character model was taken from Cammy, much of her character was completely different, adding "It makes you wish they'd come up with a completely different concept and backstory for the character, honestly."[223]

In the storyline of Street Fighter II: Ryu, Gouken trained Ryu and Ken in his temple somewhere in the Japanese wilderness.[225] One day, Akuma stormed Gouken's dojo and killed him, leaving Ryu and Ken with the duty to avenge their master's death. While the novel took liberties with the established canon of the games, Gouken's character would be adapted in the storyline of the later games in the series following Akuma's introduction in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
According to the backstory that was developed for Super Street Fighter II Turbo and the Street Fighter Alpha series, Gouken and Akuma learned a murderous martial art style from their master, Goutetsu (轟鉄, Gōtetsu). It included the special techniques the Hadouken, the Shoryuken and the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, 20 years before the Street Fighter tournament. After Goutetsu was killed by Akuma, Gouken refined these special techniques, eliminating the "murderous energy" they possessed and developed them into a purely combative martial art. He would then teach this new style to two students, Ryu and Ken. Gouken also trained Dan at one time, but then expelled him after seeing that Dan was motivated by revenge.[226]
Gouken makes an appearance in Akuma's ending in the original Street Fighter Alpha, in which he is depicted as a white-bearded old man with bushy eyebrows. Akuma's dialogue exchange with Ryu in Street Fighter Alpha 2 suggest that Akuma killed Gouken prior to the events of the Alpha series. Suzaku Castle, Ryu's home stage in the Street Fighter II series, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, is the apparent resting place of Gouken.[227]
Gouken makes his first full-fledged appearance as a fighter in the arcade version of Street Fighter IV, where he appears as a secret computer-controlled challenger.[228] Capcom retconned Gouken's apparent death during his battle with Akuma. In Gouken's animated opening he reveals that after losing in battle to Akuma, he did not die but was simply rendered unconscious for an extended period of time. Gouken survived the Shun Goku Satsu by completely emptying his soul of emotions, which left him in a deep coma. He is shown watching as Ryu and Ken walk off, believing him, Gouken, to be dead. He is not concerned, however, what Ryu and Ken believe as he knows that their path is a righteous one and that he looks forward to reuniting with them once more someday. Gouken's mid-game cutscene show him confront Ryu, much to Ryu's disbelief, for a friendly master versus student spar in which Gouken is victorious. In his animated ending, Gouken faces Ryu again, finding that his student is being overtaken by the murderous energy, defeats him and suppresses, after which he notices Akuma is in the area. He also appears again in Akuma's animated ending. In this scene, after Ryu has been defeated by Gouken, Akuma appears and challenges his brother to a fight to the death with the winner claiming Ryu. Gouken also reveals that he has reached a new level of mastery known as "the power of nothingness" (無の拳, Mu no Ken) and has now become even stronger, to the point where Akuma stops his Raging Demon attack after sensing Gouken's power of Nothingness.[229][230]

He is featured in Street Fighter V: A Shadow Falls, having undergone accelerated aging and working alongside Balrog for Shadaloo. He later joins the playable roster during the game's second season of DLC content, now a grown adult and leader of Neo Shadaloo, an organization seeking to help others who were victims of Shadaloo's experiments. Due to his struggling to fight off the fragment of Bison's soul in him, Ed parts away from Balrog, in order to save themselves, and being forced to fight him one last time before both departing for new lives. Despite parting ways, Ed and Balrog still share a bond with each other, as shown in his Arcade ending artwork where they have an official boxing match, as well as Ed's past life after Neo Shadaloo's full assemble in Street Fighter 6 where Balrog usually pays them a visit.[233] Several years during Street Fighter 6, where he return as one of the four Season 1 DLC fighters, an organization of Shadaloo remnants led by JP attempt to abduct Ed into the would be revived Shadaloo organization. However, Ed can see JP's lies and had been leading Neo Shadaloo, fighting against every remnant loyalist of a now defunct terrorist organization.

However, makes matters worst, the Shadaloo remnants has a once notorious Metro City criminal gang Mad Gear to get involve into their cause; whereas Falke went missing during her mission at Nayshall.
His gameplay can be considered a mixture between Balrog and M.Bison, as he has the boxing (particularly kickboxing outside fist-only official match) prowess of the former and psychokinetic powers of the latter. He is specialized in Flicker Jab techniques. Until in Street Fighter 6, he is discarded his kickboxing fighting style in exchange for a pure boxing, with a similar prowness to that of Dudley's.

The Cycloids were designed as "mysterious characters". According to Nishitani, due to advancements in programming like "mirror processing, light refracting on transparent bodies, flame expressions, etc." gaining popularity and wanted to implement characters that took advantage of these effects. Originally planned for introduction in the first game, they ran out of time.[269] Gamma in particular was originally supposed to use textures for it wireframe appearance, however these looked awkward when zoomed in, so the model was created by hand using what they'd learned from developing Doctrine Dark's character.[270]
D. Dark
- Voiced by: Wataru Takagi
Doctrine Dark (ドクトリン・ダーク, Dokutorin Dāku), whose real name is Holger (オルガー, Orugā), is a German-American mercenary seeking revenge against Guile. His back-story for Street Fighter EX2 establishes that he was raised in a mercenary training facility, where he was trained in the use of weapons similar to Rolento's, such as knives, grenades, and wires. Dark once served in the American armed forces. He was in a special forces unit led by Guile when it became involved in a scuffle against a rival unit led by Rolento. Holger was the sole survivor of his unit, but suffered tremendous physical and mental scars. He seeks revenge against Guile, feeling that he did not train him sufficiently. During the development of Street Fighter EX, the developers nicknamed him "Mr. Foul-play" (反則くん, Hansoku-kun).[271] In July 2011, a video from an Arika 3DS test project, called Fighting Sample, was released featuring Dark. In Fighting EX Layer, Dark is influenced by Garuda's negative energy into becoming a serial killer.

Darun
- Voiced by: Takashi Nagasako
Darun Mister (ダラン・マイスター, Daran Maisutā), makes his first appearance as a hidden character in the original Street Fighter EX. He is a popular wrestling champion from India who seeks to challenge other wrestlers such as Zangief and Victor Ortega (from the Saturday Night Slam Masters series). He agrees to become Pullum Purna's bodyguard, hoping to use the opportunity to travel the world and fight many wrestlers. He is absent from the original Street Fighter EX2, but returns in Street Fighter EX2 Plus, in which he obtains another opportunity to fight against more wrestlers around the world after Pullum becomes a princess.[273] In Street Fighter EX3, he has a special ending if the player finishes the single-player mode with Zangief as his tag-partner.[274] In Fighting EX Layer, Darun is nearly killed by Garuda, so he resigns from being Pullum's bodyguard so he can train to defeat the demon.
Garuda
- Voiced by: Osamu Hosoi (SF EX series), Naoki Sagawa (Fighting EX Layer)
Garuda (ガルダ) first appears as a non-playable boss character in the original Street Fighter EX, but becomes a playable character in subsequent installments. He is a demon dressed in samurai-like armor who wields a sword hidden within his own body.[clarification needed] According to his back-story in the original Street Fighter EX, he was created by the souls of dead men who were consumed by the Satsui no Hadō, although his revised back-story in Street Fighter EX2 suggests that he has an accumulation of negative feelings such as anger, hatred, envy, treachery, and despair. Garuda's form is said to change depending on his opponent: he takes a strong form against warriors seeking strength and feeds on the hatred of warriors who are seeking vengeance.[275] Garuda returns as the antagonist of Fighting EX Layer, revived by absorbing Kairi's negative energy.
Garuda was built around the concept of "a badass with a sword hidden on his back". Originally his attacks were single-hit, however they felt they were too "light", and went with multi-hit attacks instead.[276]

Kairi was born to the main house of the Mizukami family and was trained in the family's traditional art of karate. He appears in the original EX and its re-releases with long black hair and a scar over his left eye. He lost his memories while fighting an unknown challenger and now walks the "Path of the Shura", fighting to survive. He learns that he is the elder brother of Hokuto, who has been on a mission to find him. In EX2, his hair has changed from black to white as a result of his constant battles. After confronting Hokuto and Nanase, he recovers his memories and learns that he was responsible for the death of their father.[281] Kairi returns as the protagonist of Fighting EX Layer, fighting to defeat Garuda after accidentally breaking the seal preventing his rebirth.

Shadowgeist
- Voiced by: Iemasa Kayumi (SF EX series), Tobby Uehara (Fighting EX Layer)
Shadowgeist (シャドウガイスト, Shadougaisuto) first appears as a secret character in the arcade version of the original Street Fighter EX2 as well as in Street Fighter EX2 Plus and Street Fighter EX3. He is an unknown man from an unnamed country, dressed in a lethal superhero costume similar to Skullomania's. He has artificially enhanced his body in order to overthrow the men in charge of the totalitarian government responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter. Shadowgeist appears again in Fighting EX Layer, with most of his moves renamed from the ruthless vigilante motifs into the Greek alphabetic-based reformed agent motifs. He is coerced into working for the US Secret Service after learning his daughter is alive, later revealed to be Sharon.
Nishitani stated he was one of his favorite designs, having a preference for "monsters and mysterious figures". However one of his attacks, "Death Energy", caused the development team much trouble due to its effect of pulling the opponent towards him causing multiple bugs when developing Street Fighter EX2.[283]
Sharon
- Voiced by: Megumi Ogata (EX2), Miki Ito (EX2 Plus, EX3), Suzuka Kimura (Fighting EX Layer)
Sharon (シャロン), first appears in Street Fighter EX2, is a beautiful red-haired woman with a tattoo of a rose on her chest. Sharon is depicted wielding a gun in the character artwork for the original EX2, but she does not use any firearms until EX2 Plus. In the story, she lives a double life as a nun taking care of orphans at a monastery and an A-class agent for a secret intelligence group. Having separated from her parents when she was young, her only desire is to be reunited with her family and learn about her past. When she learns that a key member of a criminal organization she was assigned to investigate has the same tattoo that she has, she goes after him to find out why. Her exact nationality is never given. Sharon later returned as a downloadable character in Fighting EX Layer, blackmailed by the US Secret Service into leaving retirement for a final mission, during which she learns Shadowgeist is her father.
In a retrospective, Nishitani commented that he felt the character was a bit bland compared to other fighters in the EX series, but praised the story and background her character creator had given her.[284]
Skullomania
- Voiced by: Issei Futamata (EX series), Yūko Kaida (SNKH:TTZ)[285]
Skullomania (スカロマニア, Sukaromania) is the secret identity of Saburo Nishikoyama (西小山 三郎, Nishikoyama Saburō), a third-rate businessman from Tokyo who works to support his wife and children. He adopts his superhero identity when a client asks him to dress up and pose for a superhero attraction at his department store. Donning a full-body skeleton suit, Skullomania sets out to fight evil for real. In Street Fighter EX2, his costume is redesigned, adding a red scarf and a red letter "S" in front of his mask, along with white gloves and boots and a belt.[286] Skullomania reappears in Fighting EX Layer, having settled back into life as a salaryman but finding himself unexpectedly transforming into his superhero persona without any memory of doing so afterward. With new powers also developing as well, he sets out to find the reason behind these sudden changes.
He makes later appearances in the PlayStation 2 music game Technictix and in Fighter Maker. As a nod to Skullomania, Capcom gave El Fuerte a similar skull costume in the Halloween pack for Street Fighter IV. A female version of Skullomania appears as a special guest character in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
He was conceived after one of the developers suggested to have a "skeleton" design. Early drafts of the character featured him wearing a full rubber suit instead.[287]
Among the cast of characters introduced in the Street Fighter EX series, Skullomania is the most popular. He is ranked 16th in a worldwide Street Fighter character poll held between 2017 and 2018.[8]

Kenzo Sawada[290] is a character from the 1994 Street Fighter film.[291] He was inspired by the actor who portrayed him, Kenya Sawada,[292] who was originally cast by Capcom to play Ryu in the film; however, as Sawada did not have much knowledge in English, he was replaced by actor Byron Mann and given a different role.[292]
Kenya Sawada also portrays the character in the separately produced
Sawada also appears in the American TV series, a continuation of the 1994 live-action film. Sawada took over Guile's position in the A.N. when Guile joined the Street Fighter group. While in the movie he wore a blue T-shirt, blue camouflage pants and army boots, this version wears a tan uniform, similar to Rolento's. He also uses his katana to fire blade-shaped projectiles instead of the Gokusatsu-Jibakujin. In the Brazilian comic book, Sawada is a member of the United Nations' Armed Forces, He teams up with the Street Fighters to rescue Guile, who has been kidnapped by Sagat, Vega and Balrog, who after M. Bison's apparent death and the end of Shadaloo, founded a new criminal organization.[294][295]

- ^ Official Street Fighter 2 2nd Impact Hugo character biography (in Japanese): Family. Born into a farming family in rural Germany.
