—Lee

Lee (李) is a Chinese martial artist who participated in the first World Warrior tournament. The twins Yun and Yang from Street Fighter III are his nephews (and he requested his old friend Gen to train them as well^{[citation needed]}). Yun is visually similar to Lee (ponytail, blue cap), and his dashing punch special move is similar to Lee's dashing punch from the original Street Fighter.

Other AppearancesEdit

He battled Sakura in the Sakura Ganbaru manga. He also makes an appearance in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash.

Lee also makes an unnamed appearance in the Udon! comic, Street Fighter Legends: Chun-li, in which he is shown challenging Fei Long to a fight at the unveiling of a Chinese art exhibition. Lee passionately questions Fei Long's right to present the exhibit, believing that he is merely an actor without real martial skill. The two fight right in the middle of the presentation, with Fei Long easily emerging the victor.

TriviaEdit

A character of the same name from SNK's fighting game series, Art of Fighting, shares more than few visual traits with Lee. This might be more than just coincidence, since it's known fact that the development team that worked on the original Street Fighter left Capcom and joined what would later become rival company SNK.^{[citation needed]}
- In fact, another character of the same name from Data East fighting game Fighter's History utilizes the same Dash Punch that Lee does. Since this was not the sole example of what Capcom believed to be infringement of copyrights, two companies have settled their dispute on court.^{[citation needed]}
The Great Wall stage in Street Fighter Alpha is highly reminiscent of Lee's background.
In Yang's ending for Super Street Fighter IV: AE, Chun-li mentions that she is paying her respects to Master Lee. This could either be implying that he has passed on, or that she is visiting him.
