Karin Kanzuki

Debut: Street Fighter Alpha 3
While her name was formed nearly 20 years ago for the franchise, Karin Kanzuki could not have a better name right now. She was first seen in the Sakura Ganbaru! manga from 1996 but became a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Karin is an elitist character and rival to Sakura. She is the head of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, which technically means she runs one of the largest enterprises in Japan and is very wealthy. Like any rich girl, she has an ego far too big. While she has learned humility at times, she is not a terrible person overall. Plus, she’s a relatively gifted fighter who uses her family’s specialized fighting style.
