This is a list of characters from the Street Fighter fighting game series. It contains many characters, some of which originate from other series, and some of which have appeared in games outside this series.

Only Ryu and Ken have appeared in every Street Fighter game ever released. During the English localization of Street Fighter II, the names of three boss characters were rotated: in Japan, the American boxer known in the west as Balrog is named M.

Bison; the Spanish clawman Vega is called Balrog; and the mysterious military leader M. Although Retsu has never appeared in another Street Fighter game, his character has been depicted in later Street Fighter related media, including in two Japanese Street Fighter II audio drama albums and in the American Street Fighter comic book by UDON, and as a trading card in Card Fighters 2 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
Geki
Geki (激, Geki?) is a Japanese ninja who fights with a claw and shuriken stars and has the ability to teleport.

He is the second opponent the player fights in Japan in the original Street Fighter. He is rumored to be the father of Ibuki, but no official evidence backs up this theory.
Joe
Joe (ジョー, Jō?) is an arrogant underground martial arts champion and the first opponent fought in the USA.

Joe would have reappeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3 , but he was replaced by Cody at the last minute. Final Fight Streetwise have a fighter called Ghost that's a tribute for Joe.

He appears breaking through a wall of bricks on the opening of Street Fighter 1
Mike
Mike (マイク, Maiku?) is an African-American boxer who formerly competed professionally until he accidentally killed an opponent during a match. Capcom confirmed in the art book All About Capcom that he and Balrog (Mike Bison in Japan) aren't the same character.
Lee
Lee (李, Rī?) is an expert in Chinese martial arts.In this game, Birdie is depicted as a tall white punk rocker with a mohawk. He and Eagle are named after the golfing terms Birdie and Eagle.
The character would reappear in Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams in 1995 and its subsequent sequels, Street Fighter Alpha 2 in 1996 and Alpha 3 in 1998.

Birdie fights in the Alpha series with a grappling style similar to Zangief's, using his chains to slam opponents and a dashing headbutt similar to Balrog's punch rush.
In the first two Alpha games Birdie is characterized as a former pub bouncer who seeks to gain fame for himself by joining M. In the endings of both games, he defeats Bison in combat and is allowed to join his organization.

In Alpha 3, Birdie is already a member of Shadaloo, but seeks to take over the organization by rebelling against Bison.
Birdie appears in the Street Fighter Alpha manga by Masahiko Nakahira. He hires Ryu, whom he befriended after a past fight, as a bodyguard for his drug smuggling operation.

He fights Chun-Li, who leads an ICPO crackdown against his gang, which triggers the Dark Hadou in Ryu after Ryu takes sniper fire intended for Birdie.
He also appears in the Street Fighter Alpha anime movie, as a support character in the later parts of the feature. Birdie enters a mysterious tournament held by a mad scientist who works for M.

Birdie is finally rescued by Ken, Ryu and Chun-Li, and helps them in the battle against the scientist's minions.
Eagle
Eagle (イーグル, Īguru?)　is characterized as a bouncer from England and master of Bojutsu. 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.

The Mexican Typhoon is a throwing technique similar to Zangief's Screw Pile Driver. In Super Street Fighter II Turbo, he gains a Super Combo technique called the Double Typhoon (renamed the Raging Typhoon in Street Fighter Alpha 3), a more powerful version of the Mexican Typhoon in which he throws to the ground twice.
During the development of Super Street Fighter II, T.So he offered several alternative names for consideration (Hawk and Thunder Hawk among them) before T. Hawk's second appearance as a playable character was in the home versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998).

The Canyon Splitter is a Super Combo in which Hawk attacks his opponent with a Condor Spire, followed by a Tomahawk Buster. He enters the World Warrior tournament, seeking inspiration to develop a new musical sound.

The Air Slasher (or Max Out) is a projectile technique similar to Guile's Sonic Boom. The Double Rolling Sobat (or Double Dread Kick) is a special kick technique in which Dee Jay rushes to the opponent with a series of two kicks.

The Machine Gun Upper (or Hyper Fist) is a series of punches which ends with an uppercut. He gains a new special technique and a Super Combo in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

In his backstory, Sodom is an undefeated underground wrestler and promoter working for Mad Gear who challenges opponents in a wrestling ring hidden within the subway of Metro City.
Sodom would re-emerge in the Street Fighter franchise in Street Fighter Alpha and its sequels, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3. Rolento would be featured in the SNES-exclusive sequel Final Fight 2, where he serves as the boss of the fifth stage, Italy (where his name is spelled as "Rolent").

When the player confronts Rolento as "Alpha Cody" in the GBA version, Cody will joke about Rolento's omission in the SNES version by stating that he "took a shortcut, after beating the policeman" and "walked along the coast".
Rolento would make his debut as a fighting game character in Street Fighter Alpha 2 in 1996, being the third Final Fight character introduced to the Alpha sub-series. Cody was mostly relegated to background cameos with Jessica in later games such as Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Marvel Super Heroes vs.In this game, Cody ended his relationship with Jessica and became a convicted felon after getting in too many fights following the events of the original Final Fight. He appears in a blue and white striped prison uniform with handcuffs alongside the hand wraps and tennis shoes he wore in Final Fight (he can freely remove his handcuffs at will when he taunts, but wears them anyway for no given reason, other than a "challenge").
Final Fight Revenge, an American-developed 3D fighting game based on Final Fight, features Cody as depicted in the original Final Fight.

To honor her family motto of "Be the winner of everything", she travels the world to track down and defeat Sakura. She would re-emerge in Namco X Capcom fighting alongside Sakura, and by herself in Capcom Fighting Evolution (although Sakura also appears as a playable character).
Juni
Introduced in: Street Fighter Alpha 3 (home versions)
In the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 3, Juni (ユーニ, Yūni?) and Juli (ユーリ, Yūri?) are a pair of sub-bosses whom the player face prior to the final battle against M. In this game, Juli almost regains her memory by saying, "I am...

Little is known about her, however, the PSP version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 gives away some possibilities about her true origins. When Bison is eventually defeated, she comments that a regular human being like him couldn't possibly control that energy, and takes the whole Psycho Drive with her as she leaves.
Finally, she apparently has the ability to travel through time, as she mentions heading to the year 201X in order to contact Ryu in her ending (in the English version, that ending was mistranslated and alluded to Ryu becoming a monk in the future, when Ingrid actually simply called him a "kid" (小僧, kozō?), yet another indication that she's not as young as she appears to be).
