Kanzuki Family

The Kanzuki Family is a rich family from the Street Fighter series. The daughter Karin Kanzuki is the head of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu.

Biography
Karin is the daughter of Daigenjuro and Nadeshiko Kanzuki; their butler is Ishizaki‎, and Shibazaki is the family steward. Karin's father Daigenjuro is a rather strict man as he constantly pushes his daughter into becoming a better heir to the Kanzuki family fortune, as he wanted a son. Karin's mother Nadeshiko (whose name which means either "fringed pink" or "lovable girl") has never made any known official appearances, so it is unknown what she looks like, but she is described as being more lenient and caring towards her daughter than her husband is.

The wealthy Kanzuki family's mottos are "All you need is victory" (also interpreted as "Be the winner in everything") and, alternately, "The worst we'll ever be is the best". (A bonus short in the Street Fighter III: Ryu Final manga takes this further with "Victorious, therefore Supreme! Supreme, she is Karin Kanzuki!"). Her family's private estate covers 200 miles of land, and not only has its own geographical features, but its own climate. The Kanzukis are even wealthier than the Masters, so rich that they have their own satellite called "Red Spider-Lily". She was given a son's upbringing because her father always wanted a male heir to his conglomerate.

Trivia

 * Although Karin is usually depicted as an only child of the Kanzuki family in most Street Fighter media (this is even stated as much in Sakura Ganbaru!), in the Ryu Final manga, she has three unnamed sisters.


 * Karin's father Daigenjuro bears a resemblance to Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series.
