Introduced in Street Fighter

Adon

Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (Alpha series), Atsushi Imaruoka (IV) (Japanese), R. Martin Klein (Alpha: The Animation), Taliesin Jaffe (IV) (English)

Adon (アドン, Thai: อาดอน Xā dxn) appears in the original Street Fighter as a Muay Thai warrior that the player faces before the final match against Sagat. He also appears in Alpha, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3. In the first three Alpha games, Adon is characterized as a former pupil of Sagat, seeking to surpass his disgraced master by defeating him. In Alpha 3, he tries to track down and challenge Akuma. He briefly appears in Sagat's Street Fighter IV prologue, where he is again defeated by Sagat. Adon is a playable character in Super Street Fighter IV. Like Birdie and Eagle, Adon and Sagat share a motif: both characters' special moves are inspired by felines, the jaguar and the tiger.

Adon appears in the Street Fighter cartoon series as a non-speaking fighter in the episode "The Medium is the Message". He also makes a brief cameo in Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation as one of the fighters accompanying Ryu to save Shun from Professor Sadler. He gets into an argument with Birdie and is later shown fighting with Rolento in the base's arena.

He was the only character fully created by Keiji Inafune for the original Street Fighter. Adon was among the 20 fighters GamesRadar wished were included in Street Fighter X Tekken. Adon was included in the UGO.com's list of top 50 Street Fighter characters.

Birdie

Eagle

Voiced by: Jin Yamanoi (Alpha 3, Capcom vs. SNK 2)

Eagle (イーグル, Īguru) is a bouncer from England and a master of stick fighting derived from the combination of Eskrima and Singlestick. He craves to experience all fighting arts, searching for the perfect duel. He is introduced in the first Street Fighter as the second computer-controlled opponent the players face in England. He appears as a selectable character in the crossover game Capcom vs. SNK 2, having become a secret agent for MI6. From there he is included in the GBA and PSP versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3. He has special moves named after Canterbury, Liverpool, Manchester, Oxford and St. Andrews.

European Street Fighter champion Ryan Hart listed Eagle at the top of his list of best Street Fighter characters. Eagle was included in the UGO.com top 50 Street Fighter characters. Eagle was nominated eighth by Heavy.com as one of 10 Characters they wanted to see in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Geki

Geki (激) is a Japanese ninja who fights with hand claws and shuriken and has the ability to teleport. He is the second Japanese opponent in the original Street Fighter, a battle which takes place near Mount Fuji. In an issue of UDON's Street Fighter comic book, Geki appears as an assassin sent to kill Gen. In the Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki comic miniseries, Geki is depicted as a rival clan to Ibuki's clan.

In 2012, ScrewAttack included him on their 2012 list of top ten underrated Street Fighter characters.

Gen

Main article: Gen (Street Fighter)

Joe

Joe (ジョー, Jō), who 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 blonde underground fighter in red jeans from the Capcom game Final Fight: Streetwise, have led many to believe they are the same character.

Ken

Main article: Ken Masters

Lee

Lee (李（リー）, Rī, pinyin: Lǐ) is a Chinese martial arts expert seeking to test his skills against worthy opponents. He is the first Chinese opponent in the original Street Fighter, encountered at the Great Wall of China. He later appears in the manga Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru! as an opponent who challenges Sakura in a street fighting event sponsored by Karin Kanzuki at the Setagaya Ward. He appears in UDON's Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li to challenge Fei Long for the honor of revealing a Chinese artifact. Lee is revealed to be an undisclosed relative of the Street Fighter III characters Yun and Yang.

Mike

Mike (マイク, Maiku) is an African-American boxer who formerly competed professionally, until he accidentally killed an opponent during a match. He is the second opponent the player faces in the USA in the original Street Fighter. He is thought to be a precursor to Balrog from Street Fighter II due to his similar profile and outer appearance. The Street Fighter: World Warrior Encyclopedia notably lists them as separate individuals.

Retsu

Retsu (烈) is a former Shorinji Kempo instructor who was expelled from his temple after getting involved in too many fights. He is the first opponent the player faces in Japan in the original Street Fighter. Although Retsu has never appeared in another Street Fighter game, his character has been depicted in later Street Fighter related media, including two Japanese Street Fighter II audio drama albums, an appearance in the US Street Fighter comic book and as a card in Card Fighters 2.

Introduced in the Street Fighter Alpha series

The Street Fighter Alpha series consists of three games: Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams (1995), Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996) and Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998). The series as a whole serves as a prequel to the Street Fighter II series. In addition to characters from the original Street Fighter and Street Fighter II, the Alpha series also features appearances of characters from various other sources, such as Final Fight (Cody, Guy, Sodom, Rolento and Maki), the official Street Fighter manga (Karin and Evil Ryu) and Capcom Fighting Jam (Ingrid), as well as a few original characters.

Ingrid

Voiced by: Masako Jō

Ingrid (イングリッド, Inguriddo) was slated to appear in the canceled Capcom Fighting All-Stars arcade game using the nickname "Eternal Goddess", but her animations were completely redrawn in 2D, and she was introduced as a playable character in Capcom Fighting Jam for the arcades and PlayStation 2. She entered the Street Fighter universe in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX for the PSP. Little is known about her, although Alpha 3 MAX presents some possibilities about her true origins. Her source of power is apparently derived from Psycho Power, yet is not purely evil like that of M. Bison; though seemingly quite similar to Rose's Soul Power. Ingrid claims that she is the true bearer of what is called "Psycho Power", telling M. Bison that the Psycho Power is "her power" and that he has stolen it. Her power is so intense that if given the chance, she can actually break Ryu's madness if he ever succumbs to the Satsui no Hado. How M. Bison came into possession of the item is never explained, though it bears a resemblance to the crests on her head. When M. Bison is eventually defeated, she comments that a regular human being like him couldn't possibly control such power and takes the whole Psycho Drive with her as she leaves. Ingrid also possesses psychic abilities similar to Rose's, addressing both Ryu and Rose by name, despite never revealing them to her. Rose also cannot look into Ingrid's future as she did with other Street Fighters. Ingrid's arcade ending reveals that she has the power of time travel, sending herself to the year 201X where she notices that Ryu "is up to something interesting". Ingrid also plays a role in the background story of Street Fighter X Tekken where its prologue comic book reveals that she is the creator of Pandora. She is set to appear as a solo unit in Project X Zone 2.

On Capcom's official Street Fighter Character Poll, Ingrid ranked 4th most popular character in the Japanese rankings. In another official poll conducted by Bandai Namco, Ingrid was the third most requested Street Fighter character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter, having received 15.38% of the votes. Ingrid also placed tenth by Heavy.com as one of 10 Characters they wanted to see in Ultra Street Fighter IV In a 2014 poll ran by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Ingrid was ranked as one of the top three most requested characters to be added to Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Juni and Juli

Voiced by: Akiko Komoto (Alpha 3, Namco × Capcom), Haruka Kimura and Sachiko Kojima (IV)

Juni (ユーニ, Yūni) and Juli (ユーリ, Yūri) make their first appearance in the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 as a pair of sub-bosses. Before the final battle against M. Bison in the single-player mode, the player faces them simultaneously in a two-on-one fight similar to the Dramatic Battle match. The two characters can be unlocked in the arcade version, but they have no storyline in the actual game, sharing their ending with M. Bison. They are head-swaps of Cammy, but have their own special moves and super combos. Juni and Juli are the only characters in Alpha 3 to have combined special moves and super combos, these are used exclusively when both characters fight as a pair during the Dramatic Battle mode. Juni and Juli are members 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. The twelve members of the Dolls are named after the months of the Gregorian calendar in various languages, Juni and Juli being German for June and July. Juni and Juli were given their own individual storyline and ending when they became part of the regular roster in the console versions of Alpha 3, in which Juni is assigned to track down Ryu and Juli to track down Cammy. Juli's backstory is further developed in the home versions with the addition of T. Hawk to the cast. In T. Hawk's single-player storyline, Juli is revealed to be Julia, his girlfriend who used to live in his home village until she was kidnapped and brainwashed by Shadaloo. Juni and Juli appear in Namco × Capcom as two enemy characters that protagonists face throughout the game. They make a cameo appearance in M. Bison's ending in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, and another in Super Street Fighter IV, in which Juni appears in Cammy's ending and Juli in T. Hawk's ending.

Karin

Voiced by: Miho Yamada (Alpha 3, Namco × Capcom), Aya Endo (V) (Japanese), Lauren Landa (V) (English)

Karin Kanzuki (神月 かりん, Kanzuki Karin) was originally Sakura's first rival in Masahiko Nakahira's Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru! manga from 1996. Her character was integrated into the video game series as a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Karin is the only daughter of a corporate family and is snobbish and dismissive, calling everyone around her "commoners". Her parents are Daigenjūrō Kanzuki and Nadeshiko Kanzuki. She has a muscular butler named Ishizaki and another employee named Shibazaki. To honor her family motto, "Be the winner of everything", she travels the world to track down and defeat Sakura, to redress her loss at her hands. She appears in Namco × Capcom fighting alongside Sakura, and by herself in Capcom Fighting Evolution (although Sakura also appears as a playable character). Karin was revealed as a playable character in the upcoming fighter Street Fighter V.

R. Mika

Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (Alpha 3), Hiromi Igarashi (V) (Japanese), Bonnie Gordon (V) (English)

Rainbow Mika (レインボー・ミカ, Reinbō Mika, R. Mika) was introduced in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Her real name is Mika Nanakawa (七川 美華, Nanakawa Mika). She is a Japanese citizen planning to make her debut as a professional wrestler and working very hard to achieve her dream to become "Star of the Ring". To this end, she travels the world, fighting various street fighters to promote herself and meeting her idol Zangief along the way. She receives rigorous training from her manager, Yoko Harmagedon, a large muscular woman who is seen in a few of her victory poses riding a golf cart and wielding a shinai. Mika also has a cameo in the Capcom game Startling Adventures. Mika is set to return as a playable character in Street Fighter V, now aided by her wrestling tag-team partner Nadeshiko.

Mika was created to introduce a "tricky and technical character" into the series, though she was not a female wrestler in the beginning. After her development, the team introduced Karin to provide a contrast to her. In an official poll by Bandai Namco, Mika was the fifth most requested Street Fighter side character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter, as of August 2012 raking up 14.41% of votes.

Alex

Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom) (Japanese), Michael X. Sommers (New Generation, Second Impact), Patrick Galligan (Third Strike, Capcom Fighting Evolution) (English)

Alex (アレックス, Arekkusu) is the main protagonist of the Street Fighter III series, initially designed to substitute series mainstays Ryu and Ken.

According to his back-story in the original Street Fighter III and Street Fighter III 2nd Impact, Alex is an American from New York. (Given his accent, many assume that Alex is from Brooklyn, although his stage in 2nd Impact is Greenwich Village). Alex enters the third World Warrior tournament because its sponsor, Gill, has seriously injured his best friend and father figure Tom, even though Tom has told him that Gill had won fairly. Tom allows him to go, and Alex wins every match before facing Gill, whom he defeats but has no chance to kill. He returns home to find Tom fully recovered. In Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, after experiencing numerous battles against other martial arts masters around the world, Alex wants to continue fighting. Against Tom's wishes he sets off on a journey in search of a stronger opponent. In the official poll by Bandai Namco, Alex was the second most requested Street Fighter side character to be added to the roster of Tekken X Street Fighter, as of August 2012 raking up 17.97% of votes. Alex makes other fighting appearances in Capcom Fighting All-Stars, Capcom Fighting Evolution and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.

In December 1997 Alex ranked 44th on Gamest's "top 50" video game characters, tying with Goro Daimon, and in January 1998 was named the 22nd best character of the preceding year, tying with Ryuji Yamazaki. IGN voted Alex one of their top 25 fighters. He was ranked as the sixth best Street Fighter character by UGO.com.

Alex was named by Heavy.com as the character they wanted to see the most in Ultra Street Fighter IV. Alex was also named as 10th best character in the series by Complex.

Alex will reappear as a playable character in Street Fighter V as one of 6 characters to be released sometime after the game's launch in 2016.

Gill

Voiced by: Bruce Robertson (New Generation, Second Impact), Lawrence Bayne (Third Strike)

Gill (ギル, Giru) is the main antagonist and final boss of the Street Fighter III series. At the start of the series, he is the President of a secret society that has controlled the underworld for thousands of years and seeks to turn the whole world into a utopia by the 23rd century. 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. 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 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. 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 Third Strike.

Hugo

Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (Second Impact, SVC Chaos, Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultra Street Fighter IV) (Japanese), Len Carlson (Third Strike), Jim Wallace (Final Fight Revenge), Gerardo Sprigg (Final Fight: Streetwise), Patrick Seitz (Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultra Street Fighter IV) (English)

Hugo (ヒューゴー, Hyūgō) is a massive professional wrestler from Germany who first appears in Final Fight under the name Andore (アンドレ). He makes his first Street Fighter appearance in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, 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. 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 USA, with former street warrior Poison, another enemy character from Final Fight, as his manager. 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, 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. Outside the Street Fighter III series, Hugo appears as a playable character in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos. He also appears as a playable character in Street Fighter X Tekken with his official tag partner, Poison. He is an optional pit-fight opponent in Final Fight Streetwise. He also makes a cameo appearance in the Metro City stage of Super Street Fighter IV, and joins the cast as a playable character in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Necro

Voiced by: Michael X. Sommers (New Generation, Second Impact), Lawrence Bayne (Third Strike)

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. 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. His fighting style is simulated by computer, then programmed into his brain with cyber implants. 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, Necro and Effie are pursued by agents of the organization, but still live in hope of "truth and liberty". In his ending, Necro saves Effie from falling and thwarts agents of the Illuminati at the Siberian railroad.

Oro

Q

Voiced by: Len Carlson

Q, who first appears in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, is a mysterious individual in a trenchcoat and hat, whose face is concealed by an expressionless metal mask. Q is being tracked by the CIA because of his presence in numerous strange disasters. Nothing of his background has yet been revealed. All of Q's techniques are named in "descriptive" form rather than with traditionally-styled move names, as if they are given by people who have watched him fight. Q was nominated third by Heavy.com as one of 10 Characters they wanted to see in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Remy

Voiced by: Eiji Sekiguchi

Remy (レミー, Remī), who first appears in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, is a young turquoise-haired savateur from Paris who seeks revenge against his father, a martial artist who abandoned him and his sister. After Remy's sister died, he encased her body in an iced casket, which he keeps in an underwater cove in the Bay of Biscay. Remy takes his aggression out on other martial artists by challenging them to battle. Remy's rival match illustrates this, as his sudden appearance and challenge surprise Alex, who thinks him nothing but a troubled man. In his ending, Remy realizes that he has been inadvertently following in his father's footsteps. He makes peace with his sister and follows a new path. His attacks are similar to that of Guile and Charlie, but no notable connection to them has been established. Remy was voted 8th in Capcom's popularity poll of 85 characters for the 15th anniversary of Street Fighter.

Sean

Voiced by: Isshin Chiba (New Generation, Second Impact), Mitsuo Iwata (Third Strike)

Sean Matsuda (ショーン・マツダ, Shōn Matsuda) is a young boy from an average home in Brazil. Impressed by Ken's performance at a martial arts rally, Sean seeks to become his disciple, calling him "Master Ken". An intense but courteous young man, Sean is determined to win no matter what. He was once trained by his grandfather, who was of Japanese descent. Sean's greatest weakness is receiving attacks while attacking. He dreams of creating his original special moves. It is Sean who leads the basketball parry bonus round in 3rd Strike. In his ending, he becomes Ken's disciple, only to be told that he needs to defeat Ryu to become worthy. In 3rd Strike, Sean is allowed to participate in a martial arts tournament, but Ken tells him that his current skills will not even get him through the preliminaries and that he needs to develop his own style. In his 3rd Strike ending, Sean dreams that he has won the championship title, but in fact he loses in the qualifying rounds as a result of his lack of training. He is the younger brother of Street Fighter V's Laura.

Sean makes a cameo appearance in Ryu's ending in Marvel vs. Capcom, in which Ryu is training him.

Twelve

Voiced by: Lawrence Bayne

Twelve (トゥエルヴ, To~ueruvu) 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. His objective is to track down Necro and Effie, who are fleeing from the organization.

Urien

Voiced by: Yūji Ueda (Second Impact) (Japanese), Lawrence Bayne (Third Strike, Capcom Fighting Evolution) (English)

Urien (ユリアン, Yurian) is introduced in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact. He is Gill's younger brother and shares many of his traits, including his physique. Gill and Urien were the children of gifted parents who excelled physically and intellectually. The organization separated the brothers from their birth parents at the age of six and gave them a specialized education to become candidates for its presidency. Gill was chosen, leaving Urien bitter with regret. 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 organization, whose existence is known only to its presidents and chairmen. In 3rd Strike, in spite of his new position, Urien resents the supremacy of his brother. He decides to eliminate Gill permanently and destroys the preservation facility where Gill is still recovering. Urien also appears in Capcom Fighting Jam as one of the characters representing the Street Fighter III series.

Urien will reappear as a playable character in Street Fighter V as one of 6 characters to be released sometime after the game's launch in 2016.

Voiced by: Kenji Takahashi (Japanese), Jason Liebrecht (English)

Abel (アベル, Aberu) is a heavily scarred French martial artist described as an amnesiac. Obsessively following every lead on the whereabouts of Shadaloo's remnants, he was found in the burning remains of a Shadaloo base and nursed back to health by a group of mercenaries, working alongside them to rediscover his past and to defeat Shadaloo once and for all. He recognizes Guile's "Sonic Boom" technique, but refuses to comment when Guile presses him for information about Charlie, its originator. It is hinted in his original ending that Abel may have been abducted in his youth to serve as a "replacement body" for M.Bison, or created by Shadaloo as a prototype of Seth, a later replacement body. This is reinforced by dialogue from both Bison and Seth, who refer to him as "the one that got away". The appearance of his eyes change to resemble Seth's during the initiation of his ultra combo. It is also hinted that Charlie was the person that helped him as Abel recognizes Guile's fighting style and Abel even comments to Chun-Li about the soldier that rescued him from Shadaloo. In Abel's rival encounter, Abel mentions that he recognizes Guile's Sonic Boom, leading to speculation that he may have spent time with Charlie. Abel's fighting style has elements from Judo, Kyokushin style of karate, Wrestling, Sambo and Mixed martial arts. He obsesses big judo or wrestling type of throws and slams as well his signature move Flying wheel kick (Jap. Mawashi kaiten geri) which is originally a full contact karate technique. He usually wears sambo like composition; blue judogi or sambo kurtka with white shorts and belt and also pair of shin pads and MMA gloves. In Street Fighter IV his alternate outfit is like the original, only with blue wrestling singlets with embroided French flag on his chest.

Abel appears as a playable character in the crossover fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken, with his official tag partner, Guile. In the original design, he was a young judo fighter who wore pigtails and "could be mistaken for a girl".

Decapre

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Caitlin Glass (English)

Decapre (ディカープリ, Dikāpuri) makes her first playable appearance in Ultra Street Fighter IV. Originally shown in Juni and Juli's introduction in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Decapre 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. It is revealed in Ultra Street Fighter IV 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. 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). 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.

El Fuerte

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese), J.B. Blanc (English)

El Fuerte (エル・フォルテ, Eru Forute), meaning "The Strong One" in Spanish, is a masked Mexican luchador. He is an aspiring chef who seeks out the greatest fighters to learn what they eat and incorporate their recipes into his cooking. Despite his love of cooking, he seems to be an incompetent chef. Many of his moves have names referring to Mexican food. The UDON comic series of Street Fighter shows El Fuerte as a big fan of R. Mika. He immediately recognizes fellow wrestler Zangief as "Tornado Rojo" (Red Cyclone), and then announces his own title as "The Hurricane of the Gulf of Mexico". He has a friendly rivalry with T. Hawk, who bested him before the events of Super Street Fighter IV and told him to challenge him again when he got stronger. The character of El Fuerte is inspired by real wrestlers from Mexico, in particular El Santo, a prominent Mexican wrestler who also wore a silver mask. He makes a cameo appearance in stage backgrounds for Street Fighter X Tekken.

Hakan

Voiced by: Shintaro Ohata (Japanese), Lance J. Holt (English)

Hakan (ハカン, Hakan) is an oil wrestler from Turkey and is the second new addition to Super Street Fighter IV. His fighting style is based on Yağlı güreş and involves him coating himself in oil to make his body slippery. This enables him to slide across the ground and launch his opponents by squeezing them through his bulging muscles. Hakan is the father of seven young children and the president of a company that seeks to create the perfect olive oil. He is apparently old friends with E. Honda, his fighting rival in Super Street Fighter IV. There were frequent rumors of Hakan before he was revealed, due to a forum post containing a photograph that was believed to be concept art for new characters. Director Ono stated that Hakan was deliberately written as a "loving husband and father" to alleviate any homoerotic associations that oil wrestling has for American audiences.

Seth

Voiced by: Akio Ōtsuka (Japanese), Michael McConnohie (English)

Seth (セス, Sesu) is the main antagonist and final boss of the Street Fighter IV series. Nicknamed the "Puppet Master", he is the Chief Executive Officer of S.I.N., the weapons division of Shadaloo. His body has been heavily modified using advanced technology, with a device installed in his abdomen called the "Tanden Engine". Seth is intent on completing BLECE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Cell Explosion), which spurs the creation of a new fighting tournament. He is named after Seth Killian, Capcom's former senior manager. Seth is a non-playable final boss in the arcade version of Street Fighter IV, but is selectable in the home version. In Seth's ending in Street Fighter IV, he is revealed to be "Number 15", one of many similar androids created by Bison. Originally created to become one of Bison's "replacement bodies", Number 15 rebelled against his programming, trying to overthrow Bison and pursue his own agendas. His special moves are mainly techniques used by other characters, such as Guile's Sonic Boom and Zangief's Spinning Piledriver. He also uses the Tanden Engine for a special move, his super combo, and both of his ultra combos.

Outside of the Street Fighter series, Seth appears as a rival unit in Project X Zone. In the game, Seth hack's Alisa Bosconovitch's systems to make her a weapon; he also took a V-Dural and mass-produced it, creating 4 Dural stones. Seth also intended to destroy KOS-MOS to get her Vector technology. With the bioweapons of Resident Evil, he created clone capsules, which were Nemesis T-Type to guard it. Seth planned to take down Juri, retrieve the Feng Shui Engine and use her body as a core for Dural; he also sought not only to copy other characters' moves in order to "become an ultimate weapon", but also to capture Ryu and Jin Kazama to use their hidden powers (the Satsui no Hado and Devil Gene) in the BLECE. However, he was defeated for good. In the last chapter, he is revived by the Portalstone, only to be beaten once more.

VideoGamer.com severely criticized Seth, describing him as "not only cheap to fight against but a lazy effort on Capcom's part. He looks like a rip-off of Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen comic book." They added that the combination of his "silly name" and moves taken from existing characters made him a "disappointment". Eurogamer expressed similar sentiments, particularly criticising the character's "near-unblockable (but weak) Ultra move". IGN AU, while calling him one of several "great" additions to the game's roster, considered the character "gimmicky". Official Xbox Magazine described him as the game's only major disappointment, finding his role as the game's final boss to be an anticlimax.

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.

Skullomania

Voiced by: Issei Futamata

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. Many elements of Skullomania are homages to the tokusatsu genre of Japanese action shows in general and Kamen Rider in particular, specifically the red scarf, belt, and prominence of flying kicks in his fighting style. Some people also make comparisons between his appearance and that of real-life luchador La Parka. He makes later appearances in the PlayStation 2 music game Technictix and in Fighter Maker. The character is also used in Komodo Crunchtime, a 2012 shooting game from Rie Studios.

Introduced in Street Fighter: The Movie (arcade game)

Blade, Khyber, F7 and Arkane

Blade (ブレード, Burēdo), played by game designer Alan Noon, is a character who appears exclusively in the Street Fighter: The Movie arcade game. He is not based on any previous Street Fighter II character, but is dressed as a red-clad member of Bison's shock troops from the film on which the game is based. Blade has undergone rigorous physical training and conceals an array of weapons such as knives and grenades. In Blade's ending, he is revealed to be Guile's brother Gunloc (a character from Saturday Night Slam Masters), who has infiltrated the Shadaloo Gang as a deep cover agent.

There are three other hidden characters in the arcade game, who are all palette swaps of Blade. Khyber (the yellow shock trooper) uses special techniques that resemble the ones used by Dhalsim (who was not featured in the arcade game) such as the Yoga Flame and Yoga Blast. Arkane (the blue shock trooper) can teleport. F7 (the black shock trooper) has all the techniques of the other three shock troopers. They all share Blade's ending. The four shock troopers are the only characters from the arcade game excluded from the Street Fighter: The Movie console game, which is a different game based on the same film.

Sawada

Voiced by: Michael Dobson (cartoon)

Portrayed by: Kenya Sawada

Captain Sawada (キャプテン・サワダ, Kyaputen Sawada) is an original character from the 1994 Street Fighter film, who appears as a playable character in both the arcade and the console version of the Street Fighter: The Movie video game. Sawada's voice is the only one dubbed in the film, as Sawada himself only speaks a little English. At the time, Capcom pushed heavily to promote actor Kenya Sawada by any means possible, giving the staff behind the film and game the impression that he was to be the "face" of Capcom, their own action hero to star in later material. Sawada is characterized as Guile's right-hand man and the leader of the AN commando force. He is a hand-to-hand combat specialist who is proficient in all kinds of martial art. His role in the film is very minor. He speaks and fights only a few times in the film, in which he commands a small force of ground troops in the assault on Bison's base. Yet he appears amongst the main characters as they take a pose at the end of the film.

His design in the video game varies somewhat from that in the film. The developers who worked on the arcade version had him go shirtless, based on the fact he was "buff" and partly inspired by Mortal Kombat II characters of the time. Had this presented a problem, the staff would have opted to have a shirt painted over his sprites. The design resembled that of Fei Long in many ways and led to the actor being involved in digitizing sessions for both Sawada and Fei Long. For Fei Long, the design needed little alteration beyond a change of pants, shoes, and hair. However, Fei Long's frames were never cleaned due to time constraints, leaving only Sawada. Despite speculation to the contrary, Sawada is unarmed in the arcade game. What appeared to be a "katana" was intended at the time to be "motion blur", but because of a conflict between the two capcom branches, flicker transparency was not applied and it was left solid. Sawada's slashing attacks were intended to have an ethereal appearance akin to the Hadouken. The designers argued for the flicker effect but were denied, and they opted instead for a look based on Mortal Kombat's effects at the time. Later appearances in the console version of the game changed this and gave him a katana.

Michael Dobson voiced Sawada in two episodes of the Street Fighter television series, as head of the A.N. Special Forces when Guile was discharged and formed his team.
