Ibuki (いぶき Ibuki?, also written as 息吹) is a fictional character from the Street Fighter fighting game franchise by Capcom, in which she is a young female ninja-in-training who seeks to live the normal life of a modern teenager. Ibuki has become one of the most popular Street Fighter female characters and is regarded by some as one of the top ninja characters in gaming.
Ibuki and Elena were the lone female fighters in the Street Fighter III sub-series until they were joined by Makoto and Chun-Li in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. After a few appearances in other games, Ibuki returned to the series in Super Street Fighter IV and is one of the characters representing Street Fighter in Street Fighter X Tekken. She also received her own comic book miniseries.
The character is a teenage girl from a fictional village in the mountains of Japan, home to an ancient ninja clan. Trained in ninjutsu since infancy, Ibuki is otherwise an ordinary high school girl with an attraction to pop idols. She is portrayed as strong, donning ninja clothes for battle, but yearns to be more carefree, and prefers ordinary schoolgirl attire. She uses taijutsu, a fighting style that combines several ancient, Japanese martial arts. Ibuki has a pet tanuki (raccoon dog) named Don (どん?). In Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (1999), Ibuki shares a special pre-fight introductory sequence with her rival Makoto.
The other members of Ibuki's ninja clan that appear in her stage in the first two Street Fighter III games include Sanjō (三条?), Enjō (円城?), Genda (玄田?) and Raion (雷音?). Ibuki's friend, in her endings in the original Street Fighter III and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, is named Sarai Kurosawa (黒澤早雷 Kurosawa Sarai?), who lives in the same village and attends the same high school. The young boy who spars with Ibuki before a match in 3rd Strike is named Yūta Homura (焔悠蛇 Homura Yūta?). According to GameSpot, it was rumored that original Street Fighter character Geki was her father, but this was never confirmed as canon (according to Street Fighter Legends, Geki is a name of the clan that is rival to Ibuki's).
