![]() In Street Fighter V, her character has somewhat changed. One of Sakura's Versus mode win quotes in the Street Fighter IV games implies that she and Karin have become friends sometime after Street Fighter Alpha 3. Karin then decides to ditch her family's motto of "always winning" (at least when concerning martial arts) and starts to praise fighting itself as more important than victory or defeat, showing a bit of humility. She lives by her family's motto more than the rest of her family, as she takes majority control of her father's company from under his nose in a hostile takeover (ironic, since he was the one to drive that philosophy into her).Īfter Karin finds and eventually defeats Sakura in a rematch, she feels that she won only "by chance" and finally admits that Sakura is actually the best of them. Typical of some rich girls in fictional media, Karin usually refers to other people as "commoners", or inferiors. Throughout the franchise, she does retain her mannerisms and snobbiness and a habit of acting before thinking. In the UDON comics, on the other hand, she is extremely hateful and competitive to the point of obsessiveness, making her much more of an antagonist. ![]() In Namco x Capcom, Karin is calmer, more level-headed and cynical, and serves as the voice of reason for the impulsive Sakura (though she still retains her trademark laugh and condescending comments during battle sequences).

Her first alternate costume consists of a black turtleneck dress and matching black flats. She wears a red long sleeve jacket with a blue frill shirt and white frill folded sleeves underneath and a white ascot tie at the center of her collar, a red frill skirt, and black tights. In Street Fighter V, her outfit appearance has been altered from her original school uniform into a business suit-esque outfit but has still a resemblance to the original in palette and design. ![]() Her appearance is atypical of most Japanese characters in Street Fighter, most of whom have black and/or brown hair and eyes (with the exception of R. Her Alpha appearance became her "Nostalgia" costume in Street Fighter V. She wears black shorts and completes her outfit with matching black socks and short, red boots. She stylizes her blonde hair into long, oversized Victorian Europe-style ringlets, with two small forelocks and braids encircling her head, and occasionally wears a blue bow in the back. ![]() Capcom: Match of the MillenniumĪs a self-styled rival of Sakura, Karin naturally has a similar outfit, complete with sailor fuku, except hers is predominantly red and white with a blue bola tie. 4.2.5 Street Fighter: Back To School Special. ![]()
