The Kanzuki Zaibatsu (神月財閥?) is the Zaibatsu from the Kanzuki family.
Kanzuki Family
- The Kanzuki Family (神月家?) is a wealthy family whose 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". Their private Kanzuki 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 Family, so rich that they have their own satellite called "Red Spider-Lily".
Karin Kanzuki
- Karin Kanzuki (神月 かりん Kanzuki Karin?) is the daughter of Daigenjuro and heir of the Kanzuki family.
Daigenjuro Kanzuki
Daigenjuro Kanzuki (神月 大厳十郎 Kanzuki Daigenjūrō?) is Karin's father and former leader of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu.
Employers and Associates
Shibasaki
- Shibasaki (柴崎? also written as Shibazaki) is the butler of the Kanzuki family. He does most of Karin's requests in regards to information gathering, including but not limited to 'dirty work'.
Ishizaki
- Ishizaki (石崎?) is the steward of the Kanzuki family, and is perhaps the one who has seen Karin grow through the years, being occasionally her confidante in certain aspects.
Birdie
- Birdie is a retainer of Karin, having hired him as proof of her own capability of leadership. Formerly a Shadaloo lackey, he bolted the group after being subjected to much of the organizations unforgiving regimens, and after Balrog attempted to execute him.
Promised with consistent amounts of food, Birdie has chosen to stay with the Kanzuki Zaibatsu.
Ibuki
- Ibuki was hired by Karin during Street Fighter V. Having heard of her exploits from Sakura, Karin instantly associated with her after a short test. Ibuki alongside Mika served as Karin's personal bodyguards in the story mode.
R. Mika
- R. Mika is sponsored by Karin ever since Street Fighter Alpha 3, after being impressed by the former's performance and willpower. Mika has also taken part in the Zaibatsu's efforts to fight Shadaloo.
Ninja Army
Kanzuki Family Ninja Army
The Kanzuki Family Ninja Army (神月家忍者軍団?) is a large group of ninja working for the Kanzuki Family on a wide range of tasks, such as protection, espionage, and combat. All have received Ninjutsu training and are equipped with a Ninjatō. There are several genin (low-rank ninja, kunoichi having one hair curl), from which the kunoichi (female ninja) Hinagiku is one of Karin's favorites, about 6000 chūnin (mid-rank ninja, kunoichi having two hair curls) that are constantly on duty, and powerful jōnin (high-rank ninja, kunoichi having three hair curls) that mastered the Kanzuki Style Martial Arts and spar regularly with Karin herself.[1]
The ninjas are capable of using Katon, Suiton, and Doton. Their fighting power becomes apparent in the Kanzuki-ryu "one hundred man Kumite", which was Birdie's fist task in the Kanzuki Estate.[2]
