Fatal Fury/Jubei

Jubei Yamada (山田十平衛) was a close friend to Mai Shiranui's grandfather, Hanzo Shiranui. He is master in the arts of Ninjitsu and mainly responsible for Mai's training after her grandfather had died.

In Fatal Fury 2, Jubei has one of the first dash-and-throw moves of fighting game history.

He has not appeared as a playable character since Fatal Fury Special, officially based on the fact that he decided that he is too old for fighting and is better off staying at his dojo.
