Blanka has green skin and long orange hair, resembling a monster more than a human. He is one of the original eight characters featured in the first version of the Street Fighter II series. Blanka's most apparent characteristic is his green color. His in-game storyline states that he was once extremely pale and was known locally as the hombre blanco (white man) and adapted the blanco into his name Blanka. His green skin color in the games is attributed to his constant use of chlorophyll from plants to better blend in with the jungle environment, a color change that eventually became permanent. His coloring changed in later games, making him bright green with vivid orange hair as opposed to the yellowish green skin he had in Street Fighter II. Blanka's style of fighting in the games is a self-taught savage fighting style (however, Capcom's USA division depicted it as a capoeira technique) | '''Blanka''' has green skin and long orange hair, resembling a monster more than a human.

Blanka's background story is expanded/rewritten in the [[Street Fighter Alpha]] series. In his Street Fighter II ending, he reunites with his mother who recognizes him from the anklets he wears. She reveals that Blanka was once known as Jimmy, before he was in a plane crash as a little boy. This crash caused him to grow up in the wild, although he has connections to a local village. Ever since the crash, Blanka/Jimmy had been separated from his mother. | Blanka's background story is expanded/rewritten in the [[Street Fighter Alpha]] series.

| Surprise | | Surprise Forwards/Backwards || In Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Blanka can summon a huge burst of agility to travel inhumanly fast in either a forward or backward direction. He can use this ability at will to either escape from an impending attack, or to quickly close the distance between him and an opponent, and attack before the opponent has a chance to react. While Blanka can use this move to pass through his opponent, it can't be used to pass through attacks. | ||
