{{nihongo|'''''Street Fighter II V'''''|ストリートファイターII V|Sutorīto Faitā Tsū Bui|lead=yes}}{{efn|Pronounced "Street Fighter Two Vee".}} is an [[anime]] series produced by [[Group TAC]], loosely based on the 1994 [[fighting game]] ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]''. The series is directed by Gisaburo Sugii,<ref name="SFIIVATX"/> who also directed ''[[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie]]'', and aired in Japan from 10 April to 27 November 1995 on [[Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|YTV]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://akiba-souken.com/anime/10248/ | title=ストリートファイターIi V（テレビアニメ） - アキバ総研 }}</ref> 

== Premise ==
The series stars [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]] and [[Ken Masters|Ken]], teenage martial artists who embark on a journey to improve their skills after experiencing brutal defeat at the hands of [[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]]. Along the way, they become acquainted with other ''Street Fighter'' characters, such as tour guide [[Chun-Li]], martial arts movie-star [[Fei Long]], Muay Thai champion [[Sagat (Street Fighter)|Sagat]], and Indian monk [[Dhalsim]].<ref name=EGM91 /> Eventually, they find themselves in the crosshairs of the criminal syndicate Shadowlaw and their leader, the enigmatic [[M. Bison]], after defeating Ashura, one of their subordinate organizations. 

Among the agents of Shadowlaw are Russian bear wrestler and hired muscle [[Zangief]], seductive British assassin [[Cammy]], who is unaware of her employer's connection to Shadowlaw, and Interpol double agent [[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]]. The Spanish nobleman [[Vega (Street Fighter)|Vega]] also appears as an antagonist, although he is not connected with Shadowlaw.

Unlike ''[[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie]]'', which stayed close to the [[Street Fighter II|original game]]'s storyline, ''Street Fighter II V'' takes several liberties with its source material. It features redesigned versions of most of the game's characters, whose appearances, backstories, and personalities deviated greatly from their traditional depictions. While the show was set in 1995, the present year of its original airing, the ages of the characters were altered to make most of the cast younger than they were in the games. For example, Ryu's year of birth was changed from 1964 to 1977.<ref name="sf2vcd" /> Out of the seventeen characters featured in ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]],''the latest game in the series at the time, only [[Blanka]], [[Dee Jay]], [[E. Honda]], and [[T. Hawk]] do not appear in the show. 

[[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]] makes several cameo appearances during crowd scenes, but is not actively involved in the story.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.denofgeek.com/comics/street-fighter-the-violent-history-of-akuma/ | title=Street Fighter: The Violent History of Akuma | date=15 July 2016 }}</ref>

==Characters==
* '''[[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Kouji Tsujitani]] (Japanese), [[Brett Weaver]] and Tommy Drake (English ADV dub), [[Skip Stellrecht]] (English Animaze dub)
::The main protagonist. He is a 17-year-old martial artist dedicated to the lifestyle of martial arts who strives to improve his fighting skills. He was raised in the Japanese countryside on the fictional island of Mikuni. His best friend and sparring partner is Ken Masters, whom he has trained in the same [[dojo]] since childhood, to perform moves such as the ''[[Shouryuuken]]'' and the ''[[Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku|Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]]''. After Ken flirts with one of the women accompanying them, Guile's soldiers attack him and Ken. Although they defeat the soldiers, Guile shows up and beats Ryu and Ken. The encounter with Guile humbles and inspires them to go on a journey to improve their martial arts skills, in hopes of challenging Guile to a rematch. During their travels, Ryu learns how to use a Chinese [[Qi|ki]]-based power called ''Hadoukou'' in the form of the ''[[Hadouken]]''. Unlike his in-game counterpart, Ryu wears prayer beads on his left hand and has short spiky hair. Additionally, unlike the games, in which he is stern and stoic, he is more upbeat and simple-minded, but always seeking a good challenge.
* '''[[Ken Masters|Ken]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Kenji Haga]] (Japan), [[Jason Douglas]] (English ADV dub), Stephen Apostolina (English Animaze dub)
::Ryu's best friend, who is also 17 years old. He was born to a Caucasian-American father and Japanese mother, who he lives with in San Francisco in a mansion, and is the only son of the multi-billionaire Masters family. Ken's personality and backstory are mostly unchanged from the original game, as he loves to show off and be a womanizer. Unlike his in-game counterpart; Ken has red hair, like he did in ''[[Street Fighter (1994 film)|Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle]]'' (1994). Eventually, Ken learns to use the power of ''Hadoukou'' while Shadaloo is holding him captive. He and Ryu both master the ''[[Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku|Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]]'' and the ''[[Shouryuuken]]'', but he later empowers the ''Shouryuuken'' to the ''Hadou Shouryuuken'', and then shortens it to the ''Hadou Shouryuu''. In the English dub, Ken calls the move the ''Shouryuuken,'' while Ryu calls it by its English translation.
* '''[[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japan), [[Rob Mungle]] (English ADV dub), [[Kirk Thornton]] (English Animaze dub)
::A 22-year-old [[sergeant]] in the [[United States Air Force]], stationed in San Francisco. He and his partner, Nash, have served together for many years. He takes pride in both the Air Force and his men and goes out drinking with them whenever he can. He regularly works out and lifts weights, and has won a [[boxing]] tournament. Unlike his game counterpart, his hairstyle is a crew-cut fade and his uniform is a navy-blue tank-top and khaki-green [[workwear]]; he later wears the same clothes but with reversed colors, along with a bomb-specialist black-vest. As well, he does not have a wife and daughter. The martial arts style that he uses is loosely based on [[combatives]] of the [[United States Armed Forces|U.S military]]. Like his live-action counterpart from ''[[Street Fighter (1994 film)|Street Fighter]]'', Guile has no ki-force and uses a powerless version of his signature ''Flash Kick;'' he also carries weapons and artillery. Following his encounter with Ryu and Ken in the bar, Guile is not seen again until the second half of the series, where he is sent to rescue Ken, Ryu, and Chun-Li after Shadaloo kidnaps them. After seeing Ryu and Ken defeat Bison, Guile is impressed and comes to respect them.
* '''[[Chun-Li]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Chisa Yokoyama]] (Japan), Tamara Lo and [[Junie Hoang]] (English ADV dub), [[Lia Sargent]] (English Animaze dub)
::A 15-year-old tour guide who Ken and Ryu hire upon their arrival in Hong Kong, who is seemingly 10 years younger than her game counterpart. She is the daughter of Dorai, the top inspector for the Hong Kong police who trains her in [[kung fu]], both as self-defense and as part of her rearing. Like Ken, she comes from a wealthy and privileged background, although she is friendlier and more humble than him. She accompanies the pair throughout their journeys across Asia and Europe, but rarely engages in combat unless attacked or threatened. Ken becomes smitten with her to the point where he takes her on a shopping spree and buys her an expensive ring and clothes from various fashion houses. Despite this, it is never revealed if she reciprocates his feelings. She is not seen in her blue mini-[[qipao]] and white boots until the final season, where she is held captive at Bison's base. Changes to her outfit include the absence of her hair-bun covers as well as her pantyhose being replaced with kneepads. The only signature move that she uses from the game is her ''Yosokyaku''.
* '''[[Fei Long]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Kazuki Yao]] (Japan), Andrew Klimko (English ADV dub), Randy McPherson (English Animaze dub)
::One of Dorai's best students, a 17-year-old up-and-coming martial arts movie star whose insistence on "making the fight real" results in damage and injuries. Ken volunteers to be his opponent in a fight scene while touring Hong Kong with Ryu and Chun-Li, but the destruction the fight causes forces the director to halt the filming. After learning of his master's supposed death, he becomes distraught with grief and seeks to avenge him. While visiting the hospital where Dorai is staying, the Chief of Interpol informs Fei Long of the charade. Fei Long identifies Balrog as the Shadowlaw operative who ordered the hit on Dorai, with the assistance of Cammy after a fight with her in Dorai's hospital quarters. The only move Fei Long uses from the game is his ''En Geki Shu,'' which was a basic attack in the game.
* '''[[Sagat (Street Fighter)|Sagat]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Banjō Ginga]] (Japan), Andrew Klimko (English ADV dub), [[Peter Spellos]] (English Animaze dub)
::The "King of [[Muay Thai]]". When he fought professionally, he was the champion of Thailand and was known as "Champ". After refusing to participate in a match for the Ashura syndicate, he is framed for selling drugs. One of the Ashura syndicate's men plants heroin in Ryu's luggage at the airport in [[Bangkok]], leading to Ryu's imprisonment in the same facility as Sagat. While there, they gain each other's respect and learn more about Ashura. After Ashura's kingpin is arrested, Thai police discover evidence of Sagat's innocence and he is released from prison. Unlike his video game counterpart, Sagat does not work for Shadaloo, still has both eyes, and lacks a chest scar. Therefore, his rivalry with Ryu is more of a friendly one and not based on prior resentment. The only move Sagat uses from the game is his ''Tiger Knee''.
* '''[[Dhalsim]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Shōzō Iizuka]] (Japan), [[Mike Kleinhenz]] (English ADV dub), [[Steve Blum]] (English Animaze dub)
::A monk who lives in a remote village in India. He is a practitioner of yoga who possesses psychic abilities and predicted the eventual arrival of Ryu and Ken prior to their births. Sagat had earlier instructed Ryu to seek Dhalsim for advice about the ''Ways of Hadou''. Ryu and Ken are initially turned down, with Dhalsim describing them as "beasts", but he changes his mind after seeing them overcome the challenges within the village temple. However, he was unsuccessful in training Ryu to use the ''Hadouken'', which is inadvertently triggered in his body during a lesson.
* '''[[Vega (Street Fighter)|Vega]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Kaneto Shiozawa]] (Japan), [[Vic Mignogna]] (English ADV dub), [[Richard Cansino]] (English Animaze dub)
::Full name Vega Fabio La Cerda, or Balrog Fabio La Cerda in the Japanese version; his video game counterpart does not have a full name. He is an aristocratic matador who resides in a large mansion in [[Barcelona]], where he moonlights as a cage fighter for rich socialites. He is noted for his sadistic and ruthless personality, as he is shown drinking both his own blood and the blood of his opponents. He is also highly vain and lashes out at those who damage his face. When cage fighting, he wears a mask and wields a three-pronged clawed gauntlet. During a bullfight which Ken, Ryu, and Chun-Li attend, Vega develops an obsession for Chun-Li and plots to kill Ryu and Ken, whom he sees as rivals for her affections. Chun-Li is initially attracted to Vega, but becomes terrified of him because of his sadistic tendencies. He breaks into her hotel and uses a "love potion" drug on her; while under its influence, she watches Vega and Ken fight in a steel cage at Vega's mansion. Although Ken defeats Vega, he nearly dies from his injuries. Vega's fate is not shown, but after Guile and Nash go to investigate his mansion, it is abandoned, indicating that he is either hospitalized or fled. Unlike his in-game counterpart, Vega is not affiliated with Shadaloo or M. Bison, and the only signature move he uses is his ''Flying Barcelona Attack''.
* '''[[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japan), Werner Richmond (English ADV dub), [[Joe Romersa]] (English Animaze dub)
::An executive officer at Interpol working as an informant for Shadowlaw. After an Interpol conference in which Inspector Dorai is appointed to head the investigation into Shadowlaw, Balrog hires Cammy and orders her to assassinate him. He tells her that Interpol secretly ordered the hit and that Dorai is a double agent who replaces the drug cartels he shuts down with a new one, with himself as its leader. Suspicions are raised when it is suggested that only a senior Interpol officer would have known of his investigations into Shadowlaw. After it is revealed to Interpol Dorai is still alive, Balrog orders Cammy to finish the job. She visits Dorai in his hospital room, where she is attacked by an enraged Fei Long and eventually captured. Fei Long, with Cammy's help, discovers his secret after his cover story's inconsistencies are compared. Prior to his arrest, Cammy takes revenge against Balrog for giving her fraudulent reasons for the assassination. Unlike his in-game portrayal, Balrog is highly intelligent. Despite retaining his large build and intimidating stature, Balrog does not participate in any fights and only shows up in his boxing gear in the second version of the ending credits. He is known as M. Bison in the Japanese version.
* '''[[Cammy White]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Yōko Sasaki]] (Japan), Carol Matthews and Shawn Taylor (English ADV dub), Debra Jean Rogers (English Animaze dub)
::A former agent of [[Secret Intelligence Service|MI6]] who now makes a living as a mercenary assassin. Being a devout [[Catholic]], she always prays for forgiveness before and after each hit. She takes pride in her work, and believes that when she is hired for a job, she must cause the death of her target, to the extent that she will protect them from harm until she is ready to strike. As well, as a matter of pride, she refuses to act on false pretexts for employment. Cammy's costume is altered from her appearances in other media, as she wears a black halter top, black leather pants, and a choker decorated with a crucifix concealing a retractable metal wire, which she uses to assassinate her victims. Her original costume, with a beret and pigtails, is briefly seen during her introduction in episode 17. Despite being British, Cammy speaks with an American accent. The signature moves that she uses from the game are ''Cannon Spike'', ''Spiral Arrow'', ''Flying Neck Hunt'', and an aerial version of her ''Spiral Arrow'' called the ''Sniping Heel''.
* '''[[Zangief]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Yasuo Tanaka (voice actor)|Yasuro Tanaka]] (Japan), John Swasey (English ADV dub), [[Kevin Seymour]] (English Animaze dub)
::A Russian bear wrestler who works as one of Shadaloo's strong men. He does not seem to have any particular desire or inclination to injure or kill anyone, although he will use his strength if his orders require him to do so. Unlike the games, he wears a loincloth-like shirt rather than a speedo. He also works for Shadaloo, despite being unaffiliated with them in the games. The only move he uses from the game is his ''Atomic Suplex''.
* '''[[M. Bison]]'''
* Voiced by: [[Kenji Utsumi]] (Japan), Markham Anderson and [[Mike Kleinhenz]] (English ADV dub), Tom Wyner (English Animaze dub)
::The enigmatic head of Shadaloo. In contrast to Ken and Ryu's ''Hadou'', which is based in [[Qi|ki]], Bison's powers are based on his rage and hatred, and are known as "Psycho Power". Using "Psycho Power" usually causes him to lose his ability to reason, as he nearly strangles Chun-Li to death, only to later regret his actions. He seeks world domination, and most of his activities are financed through underground operations, such as the Ashura syndicate. Bison has several bases throughout the world, and the final battle against him takes place in Barcelona. It is suggested that some of his actions may be the result of semi-telepathic influence originating from a silver idol shaped like an eagle's head. Unlike most characters, Bison's personality, appearance, and backstory do not deviate much from his in-game portrayals, though his uniform, which resembles the one he wore in ''[[Street Fighter II: The World Warrior]]'', has a swapped color scheme. He is known as Vega in the Japanese version.
* '''Inspector Dorai'''
* Voiced by: [[Rokuro Naya]] (Japan), [[John Swasey]] (English ADV dub), [[Michael Forest]] (English Animaze dub)
::Chun-Li's father, who was unnamed in the original games. He is the Vice Squad Captain for the Hong Kong Police Department and is routinely engaged in drug busts, sting operations, and various other police activities. His residence also functions as a temple and training ground, where he teaches his daughter and several other students, including Fei Long. Following the successful bust of a large [[cocaine]]-smuggling operation and the subsequent arrest of the Ashura kingpin behind it, he is called to [[Barcelona]] to attend an [[Interpol]] conference concerning the investigation of Shadowlaw. He is appointed to lead the investigation, but Cammy nearly kills him on Balrog's orders. The Chief of Interpol keeps his survival secret until the person who ordered the hit can be identified. Unlike his in-game counterpart, Dorai survives Shadaloo's attack.
* '''[[Charlie Nash (Street Fighter)|Charlie Nash]]'''
* Voiced by [[Ryōichi Tanaka]] (Japan), [[Jay Hickman (actor)|Jay Hickman]] (English ADV dub), Dean Elliott (English Animaze dub)
::Guile's best friend, who served alongside him in combat situations. Bison murders during the mission to rescue Ken, Ryu, and Chun-Li from Shadowlaw. Since the show was produced while ''[[Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams]]'' was still under development, he bears no resemblance to his in-game counterpart. While Nash is known as "Charlie" in the English localization of the games, he retains his Japanese name for the English dub of the show. However, in episode 26, Guile calls him "Charlie" just before his death.
* '''Zoltar'''
* Voiced by Matsuo Matsuo (Japan), Peter Errol (English ADV dub), [[Milton James]] (English Animaze dub)
::A loyal but spineless servant and chauffeur of M. Bison, who holds secondary command over Shadaloo. He appears to be one of M. Bison's top scientists, as he informs M. Bison of the details regarding the microchips used to control Ryu and Chun-Li. He usually remains at M. Bison's side, assists him in capturing evidence with a camera, and reports several major occurrences to him. Zoltar plays a similar role to ''Senoh'' from ''[[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie]]'', as they are both Bison's top scientists.

Ryu and Sagat successfully fend off Nuchi and defeat him in combat. Later, Ken gets Ryu out of prison on bail, although he is forbidden to leave the country until he is able to prove his innocence. Ryu and Sagat bid farewell to each other, and Ryu sets out to find the man who framed him.

| ShortSummary    = Ryu and Ken find out that Donu had framed Ryu, recognizing him by the scar on his cheek. They follow him to Ashura's secret hideout, where they defeat Donu and the other Ashura members as revenge for what they did to Ryu. They bring them into [[Arrest|custody]] and Ryu is subsequently acquitted; however, as they leave the station, a sniper fires at them. Ryu and Ken escape the sniper relatively unharmed, although Ryu is injured. They climb atop the sniper's vehicle as it tries to escape. They arrive at another secret hideout of Ashura, which appears to be their main headquarters. However, Zochi, the kingpin of Ashura, quickly discovers Ryu and Ken and severely beats them. Zochi, after realizing torture will not make Ryu and Ken tell him who they are "supposedly" working for, ties Ryu to a chair and prepares to cut his left arm off with his chainsaw to add to his "collection" of other left arms. Just as Zochi is about to do so, the alarm sounds as Dorai and the rest of the Hong Kong police force enter the secret hideout, thanks to the tracker Dorai planted on Soong. Distracted by this, Ryu and Ken defeat Zochi and the other Ashura members, much to the surprise of Dorai and his men. Sagat is freed from prison in light of new evidence proving his innocence. Sagat asks Ryu to show him the scroll he got from master Yo and tells him that if he wishes to learn about Hadou, he should travel to [[India]], where a monk named [[Dhalsim]] lives.

| ShortSummary    = Ryu and Ken visit India to learn about Hadou from the monk Dhalsim, who lives in northern India. They fight off a gang of thugs who want to destroy Dr. Hanna's small hospital, as it is built on land that they wish to use for themselves, which she built as a refuge for the impoverished population of [[Calcutta]]. Ken makes a phone call to his father, asking him to purchase Dr. Hanna's hospital and turn it into a much larger, fully functioning hospital so he is never harassed or threatened again. Ryu and Ken soon arrive in Dhalsim's village, but he refuses to teach them the ways of Hadou, because he believes them to be "beasts with an aggressive spirit", and thus unworthy to be taught Hadou. Ryu and Ken befriend the villagers to impress Dhalsim and motivate him to teach them Hadou. Dhalsim shows Ryu and Ken the Cave of Ancients, telling them never to go in there, as there is a terrible monster inside. Meanwhile, four criminals enter the cave, intent on plundering its treasure.

They order Ryu and Ken to enter the cave and retrieve the treasure, threatening to massacre the entire village if they do not succeed. Inside, they are forced to face each other in combat, but are unaware that the "monster" they are fighting is merely a reflection of their innermost being. Ryu and Ken, after suffering serious injuries from the fight, realize that they are fighting each other, causing the illusion to disappear. Ryu and Ken emerge from the cave and hand the treasure over to the criminals, who then try to kill them for outliving their "usefulness", although Dhalsim paralyzes them.

Although Ryu is successful in performing the technique, he is unable to control his newfound powers and fears they could kill others. Ryu goes to the Cave of the Ancients to perfect his use of the Hadouken. In the cave, he fights an imaginary Guile, who he says helped him realize "just how arrogant we really were". Soon afterward, he fights an imaginary Dhalsim, since imagining opponents helps him focus on where to shoot the Hadouken. After finishing his training, Ryu and Ken leave India to go to Spain, since Dorai was invited to [[Barcelona]] to receive an award for shutting down the Ashura crime syndicate. Chun-Li invites Ryu and Ken to come as well, and so they do.

Chun-Li becomes uneasy when around Vega after this incident. Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li encounter Vega several times outside of the bullfighting arena, and each time Vega shows more and more affection towards Chun-Li. In the middle of the night, as Chun-Li, Ryu, and Ken are sleeping, Vega sneaks into Chun-Li's hotel room and kisses her. He then casts a [[Potion|love potion]] over her, causing her to only focus on him each time she sees him.

The American and Australian release of the Manga/Animaze English dub uses untitled instrumental theme music by Mike Egan composed specifically for the dub. The ADV Films version kept the original Japanese intro and outro themes.

==Development==
The work on the anime was influenced by [[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://screenrant.com/things-never-knew-street-fighter-ii-animated-movie-facts-trivia/ | title=10 Things You Never Knew About the Street Fighter II Animated Movie | website=[[Screen Rant]] | date=15 March 2020 }}</ref>

==Media==
Two English adaptations of the series were produced. The first one was by the dubbing group Animaze and [[Manga Entertainment]] in 1996, and was released in Australia and North America as a series of [[VHS]] tapes in 1997–1998. Each tape included three episodes, and was released in both a dubbed version and a subtitled version (which was priced 5 US dollars more than the dubbed version).<ref name=EGM91>{{cite magazine |title=Anime Sheds Light on SF Story |magazine=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]] |issue=91|publisher=[[Ziff Davis]]|date=February 1997 |page=26}}</ref> The US [[Constant_linear_velocity|CLV]] [[Laserdisc]] was released between March and June 1998 on 10 discs. In 1997, [[ADV Films]] produced a second English dub exclusively for the UK market, also released on VHS. The Animaze/Manga dub had a [[DVD]] release on 29 April 2003 in a four disc set in North America<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.amazon.com/Street-Fighter-II-V-Collection/dp/B00008V2V4 | title=Street Fighter II V: The Collection | website=Amazon | date=29 April 2003 }}</ref> and was then released on DVD in Australia.

In Japan, the anime was released via DVD box set on July 15, 2009.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cdjournal.com/main/news/haga-kenji/24128 | title=95年放送のTVアニメ『ストリートファイターII V』が初DVD化！ - CDJournal ニュース }}</ref>
