Retsu

Retsu (烈^?) is a former Shorinji Kempo instructor who 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 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^?) is a Japanese ninja who fights with a claw and shuriken stars and has the ability to teleport. He is the second Japanese opponent in the original Street Fighter.

Joe

Joe (ジョー, Jō^?), who appears as the first American opponent in the original Street Fighter, is an underground martial arts champion who practiced by participating in street fights. His special technique was a rolling sobat.

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 considered to be a precursor to the later Street Fighter II character Balrog (the character changed from Mike Bison in Japan due to the similarity to Mike Tyson) due to their similar profile and outward appearance (as well as their similar names in Japan).

Lee

Lee (李, Rī^?) 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. He later appears in Masahiko Nakahira's manga Sakura Ganbaru!! as an opponent who challenges Sakura in a street fighting event sponsored by Karin Kanzuki at the Setagaya Ward.

Gen

Gen (元, Gen^?) first appears in the original Street Fighter (1987) as the second opponent the player faces from China in the single-player tournament (the first one being Lee). Gen is portrayed as an elderly martial artist who according to the game's backstory, works as an assassin as well.

Gen would resurface as a playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996) and its sequel, Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998). Gen is the only character in the game who can switch between two fighting styles during gameplay: the Mourning Style and the Hateful Style, also known as the Mantis and Crane styles respectively. He changes not only his fighting stance and basic moves, but his special moves and Super Combos as well. In Alpha 3, this feature is removed when Gen is selected in X-ism mode. In the storyline of the Alpha series, Gen is a terminally ill assassin who seeks to fight Akuma as his last opponent before dying. Gen also confronts Chun-Li (whose father was Gen's student according to the backstory) as a secret rival character in Alpha 2 and Ryu as mid-boss in Alpha 3, believing that he uses the same murderous style as Akuma. Gen appears in the console version of Street Fighter IV as an additional character. Gen's connection with Chun-Li's father and his conflicting emotions with her plays a role in his backstory in the game.

Birdie

Birdie (バーディー, Bādī^?) first appears in the original Street Fighter as the first of two opponents the player faces in England. In this game, Birdie is depicted as a tall white punk rocker with a beak shaped 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. In this game, Birdie was depicted as a hulking black punk rocker with a blonde blade-shaped mohawk. The character jokes about this inconsistency in Alpha 3 by stating he "looked pale because (he) was sick". 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. Bison's organization, Shadaloo. 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.

Eagle

Eagle (イーグル, Īguru^?)　is characterized as a bouncer from England and master of Bōjutsu. 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 would re-emerge as a selectable character in the crossover game Capcom vs. SNK 2, having become a secret agent for MI6, and from there was included in the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Adon

Adon (アドン, Adon^?, based on อาดอน) appears in the original Street Fighter as a Muay Thai warrior the player faces before the final match against Sagat. He would re-emerge in Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams and its subsequent sequels: Alpha 2 and Alpha 3. In the first two Alpha games, Adon is characterized as a former pupil of Sagat seeking to surpass his disgraced master by defeating him, and in Alpha 3 he tries to track down and challenge Akuma. He briefly appears in Sagat's Street Fighter IV prologue where he is defeated by Sagat once again. In the same way as Birdie and Eagle, Adon and Sagat share a motif: both characters' special moves are inspired by felines, the jaguar and the tiger.

T. Hawk

Thunder Hawk (サンダー・ホーク, Sandā　Hōku^?), is one of the four new characters introduced in Super Street Fighter II. A member of the fictional Thunderfoot clan, T. Hawk's homeland was taken over thirty years prior to the events of the game by M. Bison, who also murdered his father, Arroyo Hawk. Hawk enters the tournament to reclaim his homeland from Bison. During the development of Super Street Fighter II, T. Hawk was originally named "Geronimo", a name which was changed after it was suggested by American staff member Steven Patton that the name Geronimo might be seen as racially offensive.

T. Hawk's second appearance as a playable character was in the home versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998). In Alpha 3, T. Hawk leaves his home village following the disappearances of some of the locals. He encounters Juli, one of Bison's bodyguards, as his last opponent before fighting Bison. Juli is revealed to be a girl from his trib
