This week is quite momentous in the world of Capcom! Two of our most popular Street Fighters are celebrating birthdays this week, so please join us in a piece of cake and a quick peek into the bios of Ken Masters and Blanka, our resident birthday boys!

[More:]

Ken Masters
Date of Birth: February 14, 1965
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 180 lbs.
Blood Type: B
Likes: Cars, Rock & Roll
Dislikes: Speed limits, speeding tickets

Hoping that martial arts training would instill discipline into his son, Ken’s father sent him away to live and train with Ryu and his Master. To finish his training, Ken returned to the US and emphasized style over substance. Only now is he beginning to see that this may not be the true path. Brash and arrogant, Ken loves to finish off opponents with his special moves.

Blanka
Date of Birth: February 12, 1966
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 262 lbs.
Blood Type: B
Likes: His mother (Samantha)
Dislikes: Army Ants

Although Blanka is not aware of it, his real name is Jimmy. He was lost in a plane crash in the Brazilian rain forests as a boy, and subsequently grew up there. Over the years, many rumors have surfaced as to how Blanka mutated into his current form, but the truth is much more insidious than anyone might imagine. The docile and passive Blanka becomes a true beast when enraged.
