Ibuki (いぶき Ibuki?, also written as 息吹) is a fictional character from Capcom's fighting game franchise Street Fighter, introduced in the original version of Street Fighter III in 1997. She has also appeared in a few other games and her own comic book miniseries. Ibuki is a young prodigy ninja-in-training from an ancient clan, but who nevertheless would rather like to live normal life of a modern Japanese teenager. She has pet named Don, a close friend in Sakura, and her friendly rivals include R. Mika.
Ibuki's unique, technical and tricky moveset relies on mobility, aggressiveness and deception to be most effective. She has become one of the most popular females in the Street Fighter series, being also regarded by some as one of top ninja characters in all video games.
Ibuki is a teenage girl from the Glade of Ninjas (忍びの里 Shinobi no Sato?, "Shinobi Village"), a secret village hidden in the mountains of Japan that is home to an ancient ninja clan. Although trained in ninjutsu since infancy, with continuous rigorous training and special missions, Ibuki is otherwise an ordinary high school girl with an attraction to pop idols. She yearns to be more carefree, and prefers ordinary schoolgirl attire over her traditional ninja outfit, which she considers ugly. In battle, she uses taijutsu, a fighting style that combines several Japanese martial arts. Ibuki is 162 cm tall and weighs 46 kg, her measurements are B95 / W57 / H90, and her birthday is on December 6.
