Karin Kanzuki (神月 かりん, Kanzuki Karin) is a fictional character in the Capcom's Street Fighter series. She made her first appearance in the manga Sakura Ganbaru!, and makes her first appearance as a playable video game character in the 1998 video game Street Fighter Alpha 3. Within the series, Karin is originally designed as a rival to fellow street fighter Sakura Kasugano, and a counterpoint to R. Mika as a fighting game character. She is reintroduced in Street Fighter V as one of 16 characters playable at launch, and appears as a major character in the game's story mode. She is voiced in Japanese by Miho Yamada in Alpha 3 and subsequent appearances in other games, and by Aya Endo for Street Fighter V. Endo's English counterpart for Karin is Lauren Landa.
