Varied Media
Cyborg
Origin: Shadaloo
The sole playable character in the Street Fighter II (Animated) Movie game released in Japan only, the Cyborg in the game is a heavily modified Monitor Cyborg constructed specifically for combat, capable of analyzing his target's moves and use them after learning them. This cyborg tracked Ryu and in the game defeated him in battle. Depending on the ending, he gets inspired by Ryu and turns against Bison or he sticks to his programming and ends up replacing the fallen Vega as one of the Four Devas.
- Canon Immigrant: Originally from Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie and playable in the game based on it, the Monitor Cyborgs are apparently considered canon thanks to the Street Fighter V Character Reference.
- HeelāFace Turn: Something that could happen after he beats Ryu.
- Shotoclone: He has Ken's special moves from Super Turbo with a new sprite.
Daigenjuro Kanzuki
Origin: Japan
The father of Karin Kanzuki, and original head of the Kanzuki family, before being usurped by Karin.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: He looks a lot like a young Heihachi Mishima, and the relationship between him and Karin can be compared to that of Heihachi and Kazuya - except without all the evil, of course.
- Archnemesis Dad: He's been trying desperately to take back his place as the head of the Kanzuki family. Unfortunately, he's been unsuccessful so far.
- Canon Immigrant: Much like Karin herself, he originally appeared in the manga Sakura Ganbaru. However, he's yet to make an appearance in any of the actual games.
- Dysfunctional Family: He and Karin aren't exactly on good terms ever since he was kicked from his position as head of the household, and he apparently doesn't even live on the Kanzuki Estate anymore.
- Non-Idle Rich: He was the head of the Kanzuki family, after all.
Eiko
Origin: Japan
Voiced by: Eiko Kano
Voiced by: Eiko Kano
A Guest Fighter based on the Japanese celebrity Eiko Kano, Eiko appears as a playable character in Street Fighter 2 Pocky Edition, a collaboration between Capcom and the makers of the Pocky snack Gilco.
- As Himself: Eiko Kano voices the character Eiko in Street Fighter 2 Pocky Edition.
- Calling Your Attacks: He yells out the name of his specials as he uses them.
- Canon Foreigner: He originates from the browser game Street Fighter 2 Pocky Edition.
- Gratuitous English: Eiko, voiced by a Japanese celebrity, will call out the name of his specials, "Rose Ceremony" and "Eiko Go!", in English. He also yells out "Okay!" when he wins a match.
- Guest Fighter: Based on Japanese comedian Eiko Kano, he is a character you can play as in Street Fighter 2 Pocky Edition for a limited time.
- Product Placement: This is a given considering he originates in a game advertising the Japanese snack Pocky. If someone gets a "Pocky K.O."note he has a special animation where he pulls out a box of Pocky, regardless of if he won or lost the fight.
- Shoryuken: What his "Eiko Go!" move is.
- Shotoclone: Has both a projectile and a Shoryuken, but lacks a Hurricane Kick.
- Something about a Rose: His projectile is a rose, petals fall out of him during his normal standing attacks and Eiko Go!, and one of his normal victory animations is him holding a rose in his mouth while Giving Someone the Pointer Finger.
- Temporary Online Content: He will be available to play as until May 27th, 2024.
Emperor Nakan
Origin: Thailand
A legendary Muay Thai fighter who defeated Sagat when he was a young boy.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: His body is covered in scars, the most obvious being the x-shaped scare on his face.
- Large and in Charge: He's 210 cm tall (6' 8'') and a Muay Thai champion.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Was one when he was a child, and he was allegedly strong enough to have defeated Sagat at that age.
- Rags to Riches: He comes from a poor village, but made a name for himself with his fighting ability.
Hanna Ackerson
Origin: England
A lieutenant of Delta Red, and trusted friend of Keith Wolfman, in charge of tactical operations and support.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's nice, but is apparently feared amongst her peers because when she gets angry, things get ugly.
- Canon Immigrant: Her first appearance is in Masahiko Nakahira's Super Street Fighter II: Cammy Gaiden, although with a much different look.
- Friend to All Living Things: Her profile picture shows her caring for a rabbit and a bird, and her profile says she has six cats.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: She's got six of them, after all. Not even Cammy has that many.
- Punny Name: "Ackerson" is a perfectly regular English surname, but the way it's pronounced in Japanese is very similar to the word for "mum/mom" — "Okasan". As she's something of a Team Mom for Delta Red, this is likely no accident.
Rick
Origin: Jamaica
Dee Jayās good friend and manager who despite being a fun guy like Dee Jay has to sometimes brings him down to Earth. Owns a pet parrot named Bellamacha as well as her three chicks which can be seen from Rick's head.
- Butt-Monkey: Prone to getting hurt by Dee Jay's antics.
- Cool Shades: Wears white glasses with transparent orange shades.
- Determinator: Practiced the bongo-sized djembe drum until he suffered hematuria from sitting down for so long.
- Dreadlock Rasta: Wears a head full of braids.
- Fun Personified: Described as having the same mood as Dee Jay, that mood being happy and easily excitable.
Momotaro
Origin: Norway
The cute Norwegian sailor from Capcom's obscure arcade maze game Pirate Ship Higemaru, reimagined as a buff, rugged combatant worthy of the Street Fighter universe. Alongside his siblings Beard and Bows, he works as a commercial fisherman and commands their family ship, the Anchor. Momotaro was considered to be included in the base roster of Street Fighter V but was excluded in favour of Birdie early in development. Nevertheless, he and his brothers were given character profiles on the S.C.R.I. website, as well as a mysterious sister named Ruby.
- Adaptational Badass: His original 8-bit incarnation was a small, scrawny kid. Here, he's a towering hulk of muscle who can spar evenly against Ryu.
- Adaptational Dye-Job: The original Momotaro was blonde, whereas this one has a bushy brown beard.
- Expy: This version of Momotaro seems to owe a lot to Popeye, being a muscular Boisterous Bruiser of a sailor.
- Noodle Incident: His bio mentions that he once fought Ryu in the past but doesn't elaborate how their showdown started or concluded.
- Related in the Adaptation: He wasn't related to Bows or Beard in his original series, in fact being an enemy of the former, and Ruby's inspiration, Ruby Heart, is from a totally different series altogether.
- Throw a Barrel at It: His fighting style involves chucking large wooden barrels.
Beard and Bows
Beard
Origin: Norway
Two other sailors originally from Capcom's forgotten Pirate Ship Higemaru series revamped into the Street Fighter universe. They are both even more heavily altered from their original arcade selves than Momotaro himself, as here they are said to be Momotaro's loyal brothers. Both are large, bearded sailors who use unlikely nautical-themed weapons.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Bows was the main antagonist of Pirate Ship Higemaru and had no known relationship to Momotaro, simply being an evil pirate. Here, he's a loyal brother and friend to Momotaro, though still has a short temper.
- Hook Hand: Beard has one, calling back to his home series origin as a pirate.
- Improbable Weapon User: Beard flails around a small shark as a weapon, while Bows uses an enormous glass float.
- Related in the Adaptation: They weren't related to Momotaro in their home games. Beard was a legendary pirate whose spirit communed with Momotaro from beyond the grave, whereas Bows was actually an antagonistic pirate to Momotaro who served as a boss in his first appearance.
- Unknown Rival: Funnily enough, Beard serves as one to Rufus, wanting to challenge him for some unexplained reason. Rufus himself is probably too busy chasing Ken Masters to notice.
Ruby
Origin: Norway
The youngest child in a family of fishermen, who sails the seas on her ship Partenaire. Her design is heavily based on Ruby Heart, a character from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
- Adaptational Nationality: Ruby Heart was all but stated to be from France thanks to her Gratuitous French phrases, but this Ruby is Norwegian.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: She is the younger sister of Momotaro here. Neither the original incarnations of Momotaro or Ruby Heart were said to have any siblings, let alone each other.
- Captain Ersatz: An intentional, non-copyright-breaking example. She explicitly isn't meant to be Ruby Heart, just a character with a number of similarities to her. While her design is almost identical, her storyline is quite different, to be fair.
- Cool Ship: Like her Marvel vs. Capcom 2 counterpart, she has the Partenaire, though presumably this version cannot fly. She built her own ship to split off from her brothers, who command the Anchor.
- Expy: She is very heavily based on Ruby Heart, the leading Original Character from Marvel vs. Capcom 2, bearing an almost identical design.
- Ms. Fanservice: Ruby isn't afraid to show some chest with an unbuttoned jacket and cleavage-exposing blouse.
- Only One Name: This version is just 'Ruby', not 'Ruby Heart'.
- Pirate Girl: Still has the look despite not being a pirate in this version, instead being an ordinary sailor.
Sawada
Origin: Japan
Portrayed by: Kenya Sawada
In the live action Street Fighter movie, Captain Sawada was one of Guile's more trusted allies in the AN and aided in the assault on M. Bison's base. In the arcade game based on the film, Sawada is promoted to commander. In the main canon as of Street Fighter V, Sawada is still a military Captain who works for the United States Air Force who personally volunteered for any operations against Shadaloo. He uses his own self-taught style called the Sawada-ryu Kenkajutsu (Sawada-style brawling techniques) mixed in with some elements of Ninjutsu (most likely his teleportation move the Ninpo Kamikakushi). Sawada also appears in the Brazilian comic book, which after the end of Malibu Comics, became an Adaptation Amalgamation, however, Swada was presents as Captain of the United Nations's Armed Forces.
Japanese actor Kenya Sawada was Capcom's first choice for the role of Ryu, however, his limited knowledge of English meant that the role went to Byron Mann (who was already a director's choice).
- All There in the Manual: His full name, Kenzo Sawada, is mentioned on a trading card
released in 1995. - Bloody Murder: His Gokusatsu Jibakujin, a move where he stabs himself and forms an arc of blood to protect him from attack while simultaneously damaging opponents if they get too close. The move gets lampshaded in his SFV profile as it tells the readers that they "must not imitate it".
- Canon Immigrant: Originally from the first Street Fighter film and Street Fighter: The Movie. While Street Fighter V is rolling, Capcom has been steadily releasing concept art for pretty much every character who ever threw a punch in SF, extras, or just-for-fun stuff. He is included as one of the former cases◊. Now, he is considered canon to the main series.
- Composite Character: He was already this for Guile (military may in fatigues) and Fei Long (Asian man with quick normal moves, a "Rekka-like" attack and a flying kick). Becuase of his SFV art and profile, he's also being compared to Ryu (Japanese man with some stoicism who loves to train and wears a headband).
-
The Danza: For his actor, Kenya Sawada, to the point in his canon SFV profile that every single one of his stats and preferences is lifted from the actor's website (with love of course). - Finger Poke of Doom: His Super Combo in the console version, Kamikaze Banzai. He puts his hands in the air and sliding into his opponent. It looks stupid but it's quite damaging; he's invulnerable to projectiles while performing it.
- The Good Captain: His rank in both the first Street Fighter film and official canon, where his SFV profile calls him Captain Sawada. This was also his former rank in the Street Fighter cartoon before he replaced Guile in the AN.
- Katanas Are Just Better: He actually doesn't use it often, the "sword" people thought he used for the Ki Raisen and Ku Raisen in the arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie was just a motion blur. In the console games, he only uses it to initiate the Gokusatsu Jibakujin. In the Street Fighter cartoon, however, he practically goes nuts with it in his second appearance.
- Lethal Joke Character: While his special moves in the arcade version were practical and effective, in the home version new moves were created out of the old ones or created from scratch but had a more...unique take on them. The Hyakuretu Izungiri looked cool but had Gadoken level priority, see Bloody Murder for the Gokusatsu Jibakujin, Sawada Special '95 was an amazing combo kick attack that's been instantly dated by the year the console game came out, Ninpo Kamikakushi uses a stance that may poke fun at the "win taunt" Sawada used in the ending movie, and the Kamikaze Banzai, while a powerful 5-Hit combo super move that can snuff out projectiles, also has him do a standing slide into his opponents while his arms are raised above his head.
- Made of Iron: In the case of the elements at least as he has a strong resistance to cold.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Kenya Sawada obviously but also his close friend, Jackie Chan who Captain Sawada bears more than a slight resemblance to in his SFV artwork.
- Rapid Firefisticuffs: His Hyakuretsu Izungiri, which is a ki-based rapid chop attack that surrounds his hand with blue and red energy with a similar appearance to the Sonic Boom.
- Teleport Spam: Ninpo Kamikakushi, which works the same way as Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport.
- Samurai Shinobi: He has attributes and special moves that harken to both the Samurai and the Ninja. His Red Baron calls him "The Mysterious Samurai" and he uses a sword several times, but his fighting style has a bit of Ninjutsu in it as well.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Effectively replaces Fei-Long in the movie-based game's lineup.
Shadaloo Troopers
Origin: Shadaloo
Portrayed by: Alan Noon (Street Fighter: The Movie)
Blade, Arcane, Khyber and F7 are based off the Bison Troopers in the live action movie. These four are high-tech shock troops from Shadaloo's American branch who are skilled in using deadly weapons as well as hand to hand combat.
- Adaptation Name Change: Initially known as the "Bison Troopers" in the 90's film, the name of these elite shock troops became "Shadaloo Troopers" when they became part of the main Street Fighter canon.
- All Your Powers Combined: F7 has all the other Troopers' attacks.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: Take a good look at them and the game they're originally from, and then recall the various ninja characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile from the Mortal Kombat series, as well as the robots Sektor and Cyrax. In fact, Arcane's name is spelled as Arkane in the original game. Switching hard C's with K's is Mortal Kombat's gimmick.
- Canon Immigrants: Originally from the first Street Fighter film and Street Fighter: The Movie, they are now canon thanks to the Street Fighter V Character Reference.
- Cool Mask: They all wore identical masks in their original appearance, but then their Street Fighter V artwork gave each of them a unique mask.
- Crossover: Blade's true identity is supposed to be Gunloc from Saturday Night Slam Masters, who is rumored to be Guile's brother.
- Elite Mooks: Each of them is considered an elite Shadaloo soldier, with Blade being the lowest rank and F7 being the highest.
- Evil Minions: They are a part of Shadaloo, after all.
- Expy: Of the the multicolored ninjas (Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile) and robots (Sektor and Cyrax) from Mortal Kombat.
- Faceless Goons: Although their Street Fighter V artwork at least gives them unique looking masks.
- Fat Bastard: Street Fighter V artwork depicts Khyber as a heavyweight.
- Palette Swap: Blade wears a red suit, Arcane wears blue, F7 wears black and Khyber wears yellow. Their Street Fighter V artwork differentiates them a lot more, with each of them having a unique looking mask and differing body types.
- Playing with Fire: Khyber and F7.
- Psycho Electro: Arcane and F7.
- Rubber Man: Khyber and F7, though this is downplayed or ignored as of their Street Fighter V descriptions.
- Spell My Name With An S: It's either Arcane or Arkane, depending on whether you're looking at the English CFN website, or the Japanese site and the game he's originally from.
- Super-Soldier: They're Shadaloo's elite troops.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Khyber's and Arcane's specialties are fire and electrocution attacks, just like Dhalsim and Blanka respectively.
- Teleport Spam: Arcane and F7.
Shin
Origin: South Korea
The sole new character of Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation, a Japanese-Korean Taekwondo master whose father is a former Japanese Karate master, while his mother comes from a long line of Taekwondo masters from South Korea. Though, he didn't like fighting and would rather become a musician or painter. Eventually, he changes his tune after being inspired by seeing Alex battle Gerald Golby in a Vale Tudo tournament during his time in America. After seeing that fight, Shin returned home and returned to his TKD training.
- But Not Too Foreign: As mentioned in his bio, he's half Japanese and half Korean, he also has blonde hair.
- Canon Immigrant: Included in Street Fighter V's Character Reference after a near decade of uncertainty if he even was a Street Fighter character.
- Extremity Extremist: Uses kicks as most of his attacks.
- The Fighting Narcissist: Shin is a mild case, while he's relatively easy going, he has great confidence in himself, likes flashy things, and hates things that are plain, simple or what he perceives to be uncool. He takes his appearance very seriously and the only reason he chose to study Taekwondo over Karate is because he thought TKD looked cool.
- Original Generation: The only truly new character created for a game that was more like a crossover, than a true Street Fighter game.
- Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Initially, Shin did not want to follow in his family's footsteps and become a fighter, as he did not like combat sports and had other interests. He changed his mind because the thought TKD was cool, but it's stated in his story that he was destined to be a fighter due to his lineage and his own personality. All it took was semi-final fight in America to change his tune.
Zen and Singh
Origin: India
Like Sheng Long, Zen is based on an urban legend that became real. During the early stages of Street Fighter V's development, there was a leak that claimed there would be four new characters; Rashid from Africa, Laura from Brazil, Zen from India, and a new boss. Rashid and Laura were proven true (although Rashid was relocated to the Middle East), and the "new boss" could reference either Necalli or F.A.N.G, but Zen never actually existed. One of the Capcom artists noticed the buzz around the non-existent Zen character, and ended up giving him a design, biography, and younger brother.
Zen (ć¼ć³) is a famous Indian actor that is good at fighting, dancing, and singing. His skills and sweet smile captivated women all around the world, and he appears in more than 30 movies per year. He originally worked as a car salesman. As a fighter he can punish scoundrels with anything close to him. He is an old friend of Zangief. According to the Street Fighter V April Fool's page, he was the first director of the film The Eternal Ganga (whose poster can be seen in the India stage in SFV).
Singh (ć·ć³) is Zen's younger brother, who works as his manager. Originally he was a kushti wrestler, but a foot injury forced him to retire. Although no longer a fighter, he is still strong enough to kill a violent water buffalo with a single strike. He has a sincere and simple personality. He has a good relationship with his brother and is working hard to be in a three-legged race.
- Canon Foreigner: Zen never existed during the game's development and likely doesn't exist in canon, but he had art drawn of him anyway.
- Career-Ending Injury: Singh's foot injury forced an early retirement from wrestling.
Street Fighter 2010
Kevin Straker / "Ken"
Origin: USA
The protagonist of Street Fighter 2010. Kevin Straker is a galactic policeman who fights against criminals who have implanted themselves with armored parasites that turn them into mutants.
The US localization of the game confusingly tried to tie Street Fighter 2010 to the previous Street Fighter game by renaming him Ken, and claimed that he became a gifted scientist who creates a substance known as Cyboplasm, which grants those subjected to it superhuman strength, 25 years after winning the tournament from the first game. However, the Cyboplasm is stolen, and Ken's lab partner, Dr. Troy (Jose in Japan), is murdered. Ken then dons a cybernetic suit of battle armor, and pursues his partner's killer. No, really.
- Canon Foreigner: Safe to say that Kevin Straker does not exist in the mainline Street Fighter universe, the Earth doesn't become a hub for bizarre aliens and mutants, and Ken Masters never becomes a scientist in battle armor.
- Cool Shades
- Dub Name Change: He's called Kevin Straker in Japan, but the US release renamed him Ken in order to have at least something from the previous Street Fighter game.
- Powered Armor: His armor is not only suited for combat, but for interstellar travel.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His CFN artwork depicts him with one glowing red eye beneath his shades as a Shout-Out to The Terminator.
Dr. Jose / Dr. Troy
Origin: USA
A brilliant scientist who created the armored parasites, and strives to create the Ultimate Life Form, the secret of which lies in Kevin Striker's body.
The US localization renames him to Dr. Troy, and makes him Ken's lab partner and co-creator of Cyboplasm. After his apparent murder, Ken goes on a quest to find his killer, only to find out that Dr. Troy faked his own death, and merely wanted to see what the Cyboplasm in Ken's body was capable of, and Dr. Troy is revealed to be the final boss of the game.
- Artificial Limbs: He appears to have a mechanical left hand.
- Big Bad Friend: At least in the US version of the game, where he was Ken's traitorous lab partner.
- Canon Foreigner: Street Fighter 2010 never happened, so neither did Dr. Jose.
- Dub Name Change: From Dr. Jose to Dr. Troy.
- Sadist: In the localization at least, he gets a kick out of infecting people with an overdose of Cyboplasm as it can make it painful to them until they end up mindless beasts.
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Sheng Long
You must defeat me to stand a chance.
Origin: Unknown
A legendary fighter who was rumored to be Ryu and Ken's master due to a translation error. Gaming magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly ran with it and created Sheng Long as an April Fool's prank, detailing how to trigger the fight against him, the conditions of which were nearly impossible. This prank heavily influenced the creation of both Akuma and Gouken, with Sheng Long himself eventually making his canon debut in Street Fighter 6, three decades after his initial "creation".
- Ascended Meme: After beating World Tour mode in 6, he appears as an NPC and can be talked to for an optional boss encounter. He's at level 90 using Ryu's move-set, and is considered the hardest fight in the game.
- Canon Immigrant: Sheng Long was created by a gaming magazine as an April Fool's Day prank. Capcom liked the idea so much that it influenced their own creation of Akuma and Gouken. Finally, the man himself makes his first in-Canon appearance in 6ās World Tour mode as an NPC you can interact with and fight.
- Decomposite Character: Sheng Long was used as the name of Ryu and Ken's master on several occasions, but Capcom now considers the two of them to be distinct characters.
- Depending on the Artist: He was given a design in a 1997 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly claiming that he has reappeared as a secret boss in Street Fighter III. This design depicts him with a more full head of hair with a long ponytail, a goatee, and a tattoo on his arm. The CFN website altered things to make him appear a bit goofier.
- Femme Fatalons: The Malibu Comics series, made when the rumor was still going full steam, turned him into an actual character who had these. However, his face was never shown, so this is the only part of him that could be seen. Also, he wore Chinese robes for some reason.
- Lost in Translation: The reason behind his existence. Ryu's win quote in the Japanese version of the game was "If you cannot overcome the Rising Dragon Punch, you cannot win" with the "Rising Dragon Punch" being a reference to his shoryuken. This was mistranslated in the English version when the localization team read the text as Chinese writing, resulting in "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance", giving players the impression that Ryu was referring to a person, and not one of his attacks.
- One-Hit KO: His command grab, Jigoku Tomoenage.
- Shout-Out: His redesigned mustache looks nearly identical to Jinpachi Mishima's.
- Significant Birth Date: He was born on April Fool's day.
- SNK Boss: According to the hoax article he originated from, he was supposed to be an Unwinnable by Design version of this. He throws hadoukens with one hand, can perform the shoryuken in mid-air, and has his own moves that make beating him impossible. These moves include a One-Hit KO throw and the ability to resurrect an infinite amount of times. Also, blocking his attacks just causes him to keep attacking, meaning that once he hits you, there's no counterattacking. This becomes a downplayed case when he finally makes his proper canon debut in 6. The in-game Sheng Long is treated as a Superboss and easily the most difficult opponent in World Tour, but can still be defeated by a sufficiently skilled player.
- True Final Boss: To fight him, players would supposedly have to play through arcade mode with Ryu without taking any damage at all, and then at the fight with Bison, get ten consecutive draw matches by not hitting Bison and not letting Bison hit Ryu. This was all, of course, Blatant Lies.
Capcom Fighting All-Stars
D.D.
God of Thunder
Origin: Japan
Full name Daisuke Dejima, code name God of Thunder. Strange genes in his body were awakened by a mysterious organization, and he became one of the three Code Holders.
- Bad Guys Play Pool: Inverted. He's a good guy, and billiards is one of his hobbies.
- Blood Knight: He enjoys a good brawl.
- Brought to You by the Letter "S": He wears a belt shaped like his initials.
- Canon Foreigner: Much like Luke, Ingrid and Death, he comes from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All-Stars, and isn't considered canon to the main series.
- Color Motif: He wears a red jumpsuit, red shades, and uses red lightning in his attacks.
- Cool Shades: He wears a pair of red shades.
- Fun with Acronyms: His full name, Daisuke Dejima, is abbreviated as D.D.
- Living Macguffin: He's a Code Holder, alongside Luke and Ingrid, and are the only ones who can disarm Death's bomb.
- Shock and Awe: His attacks incorporate red lightning.
Luke
Fallen Angel
Origin: Unknown
The second Code Holder, code name Fallen Angel, who works together with D. D. in trying to stop Death from blowing up Metro City.
- Canon Foreigner: Much like D.D., Ingrid and Death, he comes from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All-Stars, and isn't considered canon to the main series.
- Extremity Extremist: He focuses mainly on kick attacks.
- Living Macguffin: He's a Code Holder, alongside D.D. and Ingrid, and are the only ones who can disarm Death's bomb.
- Parts Unknown: Like Ingrid, his country of origin is a mystery.
- Spell My Name With An S: Was known as "Rook" before the Romanized form of his name was officialized.
- The Stoic: He rarely speaks, and has a calm personality.
- Yin-Yang Bomb: His attacks blend the powers of light and darkness.
Ingrid
Eternal Goddess
You young whippersnappers! I'll teach you to get in my way!
Origin: Unknown
Voiced by: note
The third Code Holder, code name Eternal Goddess. Unlike the other characters from Capcom Fighting All-Stars, Ingrid continued life after her debut's cancellation. She then debuted in Capcom Fighting Jam as the sole original character, and her sprite was ported over to the PSP version of Alpha 3 MAX as a Guest Fighter, where she claims that her power was stolen by M. Bison. She also has a role in the background story of Street Fighter X Tekken In addition she appears in the crossover game Project X Zone 2, where Bison stole one of her hair crests to amplify his Psycho Power. Ingrid is a Support Character in that game.
- Ascended Extra: She's the only original character from Capcom Fighting All-Stars to gain playable appearances after her debut's cancellation.
- Badass Adorable: Looks like a schoolgirl, but is apparently more powerful than Bison.
- Bootstrapped Theme: Thanks to both Alpha 3 MAX and Project Ć Zone 2, she has "Seek No Escape" tied to her.
- Canon Discontinuity: Ingrid's roles and connections to the Street Fighter universe have gradually been scrubbed away by Capcom. Her current character bio on the S.C.R.I. website disassociates her from the SF characters, instead listing her alongside the other unrealised Capcom Fighting All-Stars characters and detailing her original intended storyline and personality, making no direct references to her being the creator of M. Bison's Psycho Power or her godly status. However, her surprise appearance in Project Ć Zone 2 anomalously seems to follow her Alpha 3 MAX characterisation, as Bison attempts to steal her energy.
- Canon Foreigner: Much like D.D., Luke, and Death, she comes from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All-Stars, and isn't considered canon to the main Street Fighter series. However, unlike them, she has at least made appearances in other games, including Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX, and Project X Zone 2. Interestingly, UDON was forced by Capcom to remove her from a Street Fighter poster that featured the entire cast, and had her replaced with Ed. Afterward, she was omitted from the 2017 Street Fighter character popularity poll.note There isn't a given reason why she's been booted from the series; according to UDON, the decision was made due to problems as to who owns the copyright, but then again, Ingrid makes a cameo appearance in some bonus artwork alongside Oro and Birdie, a background cameo in the Ring of Arcade stage, and even has a costume for Karin based off of her in V.
- Dance Battler: A few of her moves are rather ballet-like in nature.
- Everything's Better with Sparkles: Her attacks are very sparkly, either leaving behind trails of sparkles, or making giant sparkle explosions.
- Evil Twin: There apparently exists a Dark Ingrid, who resembles Ingrid with black clothing, Black Eyes of Crazy, and a smaller chest, which she's apparently sensitive about.
- Expy: It's very clear she was inspired by Athena Asamiya. Heck, even her sprite looks like it was taken off a KoF game than the default Alpha sprite style.
- Guest Fighter: Appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX alongside Eagle, Maki and Yun, although their appearance in it is non-canon (though Maki's could be debated, as she was featured in the Sakura Ganbaru! manga which has been implied to be the canon adaptation of Alpha 2 since the Street Fighter IV games).
- Joshikousei: Surely looks like one.
- Lethal Joke Character: This doesn't translate so much into her 2D appearances, but her original concept for the unreleased Capcom Fighting All-Stars was to give her a more comical fighting style to reflect the fact that she's always toying with her opponents.
- Little Miss Almighty: She's a goddess, yet she looks like a schoolgirl, and is even smaller than both Sakura and Karin. In the Japanese version of Alpha 3 MAX, Sakura outright acknowledges this.
- Living Macguffin: She's a Code Holder, alongside D.D. and Luke, and are the only ones who can disarm Death's bomb.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: Long, platinum blonde hair, on top of that.
- Ms. Vice Girl: While she does show signs of a cold and power-hungry nature, she is nevertheless a heroic or at least very decent person.
- Mysterious Waif: A typical one. She reveals little about herself and to this day her exact role in the Street Fighter universe is a confusing mystery.
- Mystical White Hair: Just like her employer, Death, hinting at a closer connection between them.
- Non-Standard Character Design: She looks significantly more animesque than any of the other Street Fighter characters, and considering that Street Fighter already uses an anime-like style, that says a lot. Partially justified because she wasn't made strictly for Street Fighter.
- Older Than They Look: Talks like a 70-year-old woman (especially distinct in her Japanese speech) but looks like a teenager.
- Parts Unknown: She's from the future, and that's all that's really known.
- Physical Goddess: The power displayed by her in Alpha 3 could very well put her alongside Gill, Akuma, Oro, and a few others in the upper echelons of the SF cast, as she's shown to be vastly more powerful than Rose and Bison. She even goes by the alias "Eternal Goddess." Her ties to the SFxT story, however, make this a bit less arguable, at least as far as the canon SFxT universe goes.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: At only 5 feet tall and a mere 86 pounds, Ingrid is the shortest and lightest playable character in all of Street Fighter.
- The Power of the Sun: Given the appearance and Theme Naming of her moves. Appropriately, her theme is entitled "Heat Haze".
- Proper Tights with a Skirt
- Psychic Powers: Claims that Bison stole his Psycho Power (and the Psycho Drive) from her and that she is the true bearer of it. If such is true, it should be noted that Ingrid's powers manifest similar to Rose's Soul Power as opposed to the corrupt energies Bison wields.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Counter-example.
- Time Travel: Alluded to.
- Vocal Evolution: Her appearance in Project X Zone 2 has her speak with a more high pitched and haughty tone of voice than she does in the fighting games.
- Warrior Therapist: Breaks Ryu's Satsui no Hadou-induced insanity by literally beating it out of him.
- Willfully Weak
- Yaoi Fangirl: Really fangirls out amongst a few party members in Project X Zone 2 along with fellow ancient fangirl Xiaomu.
Death
Death
Origin: Unknown
The mysterious antagonist of Capcom Fighting All-Stars, whose true name is Avel. He created a bomb called Laughter Sun, and threatened to destroy Metro City with it. This caused Mayor Mike Haggar to call for help, recruiting Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, Alex, Batsu Ichimonju, Akira Kazama, Strider Hiryu and even Poison. Special codes were given to D.D., Luke and Ingrid in order to defuse the bomb.
- Badass Longcoat
- Canon Foreigner: Much like D.D., Luke and Ingrid, he comes from the cancelled Capcom Fighting All-Stars, and isn't considered canon to the main series.
- The Faceless: Played straight for a long time. Following the cancellation of Capcom Fighting All-Stars, his official design was never fully revealed, with the only hint at his appearance being a silhouette. It wasn't until the CFN website posted concept art of him that he was fully shown.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a burn scar over his left eye.
- Mad Bomber: The Laughter Sun bomb is Death's main means of intimidation.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: You don't get much more straightforward than calling yourself "Death".
- Sinister Shades: Wears a pair of round glasses with red lenses.
- White Hair, Black Heart: He has long white hair.
The Animated Series
Satin Hammer
Voiced by: note
A character from the cartoon. Satin Hammer was a specialist in cybernetic engineering for the U.S. GovernmentĀ“s Livermore Labs in California, but her theories on robotics were dismissed by highly placed officials in the Pentagon as weak, leading her to harbor resentment towards her superiors.
During her stint with Livermore Labs, Hammer was also dying from a medical condition. Her superiors promised to fund her research in exchange for a new android body; however, she discovered that they only wanted her research for themselves. Once they obtained it, the promised funding was slashed, leaving her a cyborg for the rest of her life. Embittered by this betrayal, Hammer went renegade, and her catastrophic plans lead her to blows with the Street Fighters, especially T. Hawk, who holds feelings for her.
- Canon Foreigner
- Cyborg: She was dying from an unknown medical condition, so her bosses promised to back her research in exchange for a new android body. But it turns out they only wanted her research, and so once they got their hands on it, they betrayed her, causing her to remain a cyborg for the remainder for her life. Embittered by this, she goes rogue.
- Dating Catwoman: With T. Hawk.
- Evil Tastes Good: Prone to stating her view on the tastiness of whatever is currently happening.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: She was dying from an unknown medical condition, so her superiors had promised to fund her research in exchange for a new android body; however, she discovered that they only wanted her research for themselves. Once they obtained it, the promised funding was slashed, leaving her a cyborg for the rest of her life. Embittered by this betrayal, Hammer went renegade.
- Mythology Gag: In "Desert Thunder", some of the controls for the superweapon she commandeers are a joystick and six buttons.
- Powered Armor: She and her Mooks use these.
- Straw Feminist: She hates men. It's her defining character trait, in a few ways.

- Canon Foreigner: Escher shares some characteristics with the AN diplomat that tries to cancel Guile's stealth boat
- Expy: Of M.
The Warrior King
Origin: Warrior's World
Voiced by: note
A hero from a realm known as Warrior's World. He first appears in the episode of the same name from the Street Fighter animated series in pursuit of a magical Orb needed to save his world. He was invented for a crossover event that USA Network was running at the time, resulting in his appearing in not only the Street Fighter cartoon, but also Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and Wing Commander Academy.
- All Amazons Want Hercules: Chun-Li hit it off for a while. Too bad their relationship doesn't last long.
- Canon Foreigner: Big time.

- Genius Bruiser: Despite his gargantuan, thuggish appearance, he's still very intelligent and even polite.

Dr. Lucinda "Cindy" Davila
Voiced by: note
Guile's former girlfriend, a Hospital Hottie who takes the role that the games give to his wife Julia.
- Canon Foreigner: Since Julia and Amy were Adapted Out from the cartoon, Cindy was created both to fill in as Guile's Love Interest and create a Love Triangle with Cammy as the third end.
- Find the Cure!: In the first episode, she and other doctors are in Brazil working hard on creating the cure for very rare illness. Then Bison crashes the camp, kidnaps Cindy and her team, and Ryu almost falls victim to said illness. It turns out that Blanka's blood, thanks to the experiments he went through, is the key.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A doctor on the side of good, with blonde hair to match.
- New Old Flame: Technically, she was this to Guile at the beginning. They're in a sort-of Long-Distance Relationship later.
UDON Comics

Origin: USA Flag
Guile's personal assistant.

- Girl Friday: Serves as Guile's assistant, sometimes even accompanying him on field missions.
- Kill and Replace: Juni poses as her and initially intends to kill her, but Shadaloo decides she might be useful as a source of information. This is what ultimately gives her an opportunity to escape.

IJWPW Broadcast Station
In general
A series of fan-created characters that have been given designs and profiles on the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute website by KIKI, one of the lead artists of Street Fighter V. They were sent to Rainbow Mika and Yamato Nadeshiko on Twitter for judgement.
- Canon Foreigner: None of them canonically exist in the Street Fighter universe.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Many of them look truly bizarre even by World Warrior standards and have especially zany powers.
Kevin
Origin: "A foreign country"
A 13-year-old middle schooler with the power to miniaturise himself down to roughly the size of a Wadokaichin coin. Admiring Japanese culture, he wields a small needle as if it were a katana.
- Colossus Climb: He fights this way by taking advantage of his small size and superhuman speed to dismantle normal-sized opponents.
- Occidental Otaku: His home country isn't specified but he appears to be a blonde-haired Westerner, yet he dresses like a Japanese swordsman.
- Sizeshifter: Through unknown means, he can shrink in size at will.
Cuticle Toru
Origin: Japan
A flamboyant, patriotic 28-year-old idol from Japan who fights using ballet-inspired techniques.
- Agent Peacock: Dresses very flamboyantly. His profile picture shows him wearing a purple dandy jacket decorated with roses and white leggings covered in gold hearts.
- Captain Patriotic: His catchphrase is to yell out "JAPAAAN!"
- Dark and Troubled Past: Despite his exuberant looks, he hides great sadness from an unspecified event in his past which involved him getting "touched". Make of that what you will...
- Emotional Bruiser: He's a fighter who loves ballet, romance movies and pretty roses, and he cries easily when reminded of his traumatic past.
- Something about a Rose: Like Dudley, he has a predilection for roses.
Prince Broiler
Origin: Poland
A hulking brawler who dresses like a rooster (or might even be one). He is the heir and idol to the "Broiler Empire" which was destroyed by the neighbouring Chabo Kingdom, but he wants to reinstate his rule.
- Animal Themed Super Being: He's a giant, well-muscled chicken-man.
- Heroic Build: Like Zangief and Rainbow Mika, he's obsessed with gaining Muscle Power and he has the build to show for it.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's an actual prince according to his backstory, but he loves fighting and performing.
Satomi the Mad Scientist
Origin: Japan
Voiced by: note
A 10-year-old scientist who fights using chemicals.
- Artistic Age: She looks much older than 10 in her character profile. Her catchphrase is to cry out "I'm not a child!", which confuses things further. As with many of the IJWPW characters, it seems to be some kind of in-joke that's lost in translation.
- The Danza: Shares her name with her suggested seiyuu.
- Does Not Like Men: One of her listed dislikes is "Men".
- Mad Scientist: It's in the name.
- Playing with Fire: Her chemicals all have explosive or fiery results.
Cage Matsuda
Origin: Japan
A wrestler with a police detective gimmick. As he got older, he steadily transformed into a more sadistic persona.
- Baldness Angst: Wears a hat at all times because he's ashamed of his hair-loss.
- Compelling Voice: His gimmick as a young wrestler was hypnotising opponents with his voice and giving them "mental damage".
- Dominatrix: A male example. He dresses in a police-style fetish gear and fights using a whip as well as "harsh words".
- FaceāHeel Turn: Went from a police detective Face persona known as "Cage-kun" as a child to a sadistic, BDSM-themed Heel persona known as "Cage Matsuda-san" when he grew up.
Easy Kim 3
Origin: Japan
A robotic wrestler with a signature roundhouse kick technique.
- Made of Iron: Aluminium, actually. While this does make him relatively light, the fact that he's entirely metallic makes it difficult for him to jump high like the other wrestlers.
- Robot Athlete: An android wrestler.
Endo Nimian
Origin: Japan
A large-headed, bespectacled bodybuilder with a "fumbling fighting style".
- Big Head Mode: Seems to be his default state.
- Heroic Build: He's very muscular.
Haruo
Origin: Japan
A young father who loves frying eggs.
- Chef of Iron: His profile shows him frying eggs and claims that he will cook for his opponents after matches, but how his culinary expertise tie into his fighting style is left unexplained.
- The Generic Guy: He's just some dude who likes eggs. 'Nuff said.
- Househusband: In a nutshell, his gimmick is being a stereotypically effete stay-at-home-dad.
- Nice Guy: Ties into his gimmick.
Masako and Nanami
Origin: Japan
A housewife and a sentient mountain. Masako lives atop Nanami, where she raises two sons and fends off assassins for some reason.
- Assassin Outclassin': Masako regularly fights off assassins.
- Action Mom: Masako appears to be on the run as she routinely defends her children from assassins and thugs who come after them for reasons unknown. She's also seen rock-climbing on Nanami, showing off her impressive upper body strength.
- Genius Loci: Nanami is a massive sentient mountain with feet. Yes, really.
- Kaiju: If she were ever included in an actual Street Fighter game, Nanami would be by far the largest combatant ever featured. The duo's character profiles depict Masako as a microscopic speck climbing on Nanami's rocky hide.
Nakagami Yousuke
Origin: Japan
A well-off young homeowner who claims to be a tough fighter, but hardly ever comes out of his house to prove it.
- Catchphrase: "Yo, let's meet next week!"
- Dirty Coward: It's transparently obvious that he's more comfortable trash-talking people he encounters in online games from the safety of his bedroom. He will find any excuse to weasel his way out of physical confrontations.
- Hikikomori: He's a compulsive shut-in who spends most of his time playing online games instead of socialising outside. His parents seem to pay for his accommodation.
- Internet Tough Guy: A textbook example. He claims to be a total badass who can shatter computer monitors with one punch, but to the surprise of no one, he has never actually fought anyone.
- Non-Action Guy: Despite his grandiose claims, he never actually fights.
- The Unseen: Humorously, his profile picture doesn't actually depict him, but simply shows his house. You can just about make out a bespectacled face shyly peering from behind the window blinds, but that's it.
- Weakened by the Light: Appropriately for a nerdy shut-in, he lists sunlight as one of his hates.
Churi and Hanako
Origin: South Korea (Churi), Japan (Hanako)
Two fighters who are big fans of Juri (and Chun-Li).
- Ambiguous Gender: Both of them in differing ways. Churi appears distinctly female but is biologically male, whereas Hanako's gender is completely untenable due to their Non-Standard Character Design and the fact that the only information about them is their obsession with Juri.
- Composite Character: Churi styles themself after both Juri and Chun-Li. They mostly resemble Juri but also has Chun-Li's iconic hairbuns.
- Fan Boy: Churi is a fan of both Juri and Chun-Li, having a portmanteau of their names and wishing to emulate them. Hanako, on the other hand, is utterly, singlemindedly obsessed with Juri and Juri alone, to the point where their only listed dislike is "Not Juri".
- Non-Standard Character Design: Hanako looks much more cartoony than Churi, having almost chibi-fied proportions.
- Take That, Audience!: Both, but especially Hanako, seem to exist as a potshot at real fans who rabidly obsess over Juri.
Hans Kanatarou
Origin: Japan
A deformed foodaholic who is training to become a ninja.
- Acrofatic: For once, it seems to be Averted as his excessive weight hinders his prospects of becoming a ninja.
- Big Eater: Consumes eight meals a day. Rather than helping him become big and strong, it simply makes him morbidly obese.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Perhaps the strangest looking fan-made character yet. He barely even looks human, more resembling some kind of stuffed pillow.
Mitsumeko
Origin: Japan
A ghostly serial killer who carries a large pair of bloodied scissors.
- Genre Refugee: A Captain Ersatz of Sadako trying to get into Street Fighter.
- Improbable Weapon User: A pair of shears.
- Serial Killer: R. Mika is understandably freaked out by the idea of an actual murderer entering her wrestling league.
- Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: Has the exact aesthetic of a typical onryo. Whether or not she actually is a ghost is unclear.
