Story
Edit
Kairi was born to the main house of the Mizukami family and was trained in the family's ancient art of hand-to-hand combat. However, Kairi lost his memories when he fought his own father to a fight to the death and for several years he has wandered the world, fighting without rhyme or reason. Only the words "you must challenge your limits" remained in his memories. Led by these words, Kairi thought that the only way to recover his memories was to follow the way of the Shura (修羅) and fight, replacing his lost memories with the nature of a demon. As he continued fighting, Kairi's hair was turned from black to white and his body began to be covered in scars. Eventually Kairi fought his younger sister Hokuto on several occasions. Despite the attempts of Nanase, the youngest of siblings to stop them, this has been unavoidable fate for Kairi and Hokuto.
Fighting Style and GameplayEdit
Like Allen's, most of Kairi's moves are similar to those of the Ansatsuken-style characters (i.e., Ryu, Ken, Akuma), as detailed below.
- Shinku Hadoken -> Shinki Hatsudou
- Shoryuken -> Maryuu Rekkou
- Tatsumaki -> Moryou Kasen
- Tenma Kujin Kyaku -> Ryuujin Kyaku (EX 2)
- Ashura Senku -> Makuu Shihai (EX 2), though they function a bit differently.
Also, in Street Fighter EX 2, Kairi has inherited and succumbed to a power similar to the Satsui no Hado. Because of this, he has abilities and a power level similar to those of Akuma, including moves that resemble his techniques (e.g. Zanku Hadoken and Shun Goku Satsu, Akuma's most lethal technique).
TriviaEdit
- Kairi appears in the manga Street Fighter III: The Twin Dragon for the first time. He also appears in Street Fighter III: Ryu Final.
- Kairi's voice actor, Kaneto Shiozawa, died in 2000 two months after the release of Street Fighter EX3. Shiozawa also voiced Vega in the EX series and Street Fighter II V, as well as Hyo Iwamano from Capcom's Rival School games and Zato-1 from Arc System Works' Guilty Gear series.
