Kei Chitose

Kei Chitose (千歳ケイ Chitose Kei^?) is a minor non-playable character in the Street Fighter series. She is Sakura's classmate and best friend.

Biography

Appearance

Kei resembles an average Japanese schoolgirl. She has long brown hair with a pink or white headband and is usually seen wearing a school uniform, though unlike Sakura's, Kei's has a more "traditional" design. Underneath her skirt, she wears a pair of white panties, which are briefly visible in her Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter sprites. She wears brown shoes and white socks and is usually seen carrying a brown briefcase.

Personality

While Kei is the typical average schoolgirl who is into boys and clothes, she also reluctantly accompanies Sakura on her quest to become the greatest street fighter. Her grades in school are mostly average, but she possesses a phenomenal memory, never forgeting the face and name of a person she has met. As a hobby, she likes to collect merchandise related to octopus-like aliens.^[1]

In the UDON comics, Kei is portrayed as a bit sarcastic and ironic, and though she often ends up in trouble due to Sakura's misbehaviors, she supports her nonetheless.

Story

Kei is usually seen accompanying her street fighting obsessed friend Sakura.
