Kei Chitose (千歳 ケイ Chitose Kei?) is a minor non-playable character in the Street Fighter series. She is Sakura's classmate and best friend.

Biography[]

Appearance[]

Kei resembles an average Japanese schoolgirl. Her hair is long and usually light brown, even though it sometimes appears as black. She has a pink or white headband and is usually seen wearing a sailor school uniform. (Though unlike Sakura's, Kei's has a more "traditional" design.) Underneath her skirt, she wears a pair of white panties, which are briefly visible in her Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter sprites. She wears brown shoes and white socks and is usually seen carrying a brown briefcase.

Personality[]

While Kei is the typical average schoolgirl who is into boys and clothes, she also reluctantly accompanies Sakura on her quest to become the greatest street fighter. Her grades in school are mostly average, but she possesses a phenomenal memory, never forgeting the face and name of a person she has met. As a hobby, she likes to collect merchandise related to octopus-like aliens.[1]

In the UDON comics, Kei is portrayed as a bit sarcastic and ironic, and though she often ends up in trouble due to Sakura's misbehaviors, she supports her nonetheless.

She appears in Street Fighter ZERO 2 Gaiden ~Sakura, The Most Dangerous High School Girl~, after Sakura told her the story of Ryu saving her from some thugs, Kei wanted to date him and was annoyed that Sakura didn't get his contact details.[4] Despite being easily frightened she accompanied Sakura who wanted to save her school. She also appears in the sequel, "Street Fighter ZERO 2 Gaiden 2 ~Sakura: The Most Dangerous School Festival~, in both CD's her name was changed to "Kei Misaki" .

Kei appears in the Rival Schools: United By Fate Drama Album alongside Sakura. Through Sakura, she has already become friends with Hinata Wakaba, and they have a relationship where they can call each other by their first names. On the other hand, she misunderstands that Batsu Ichimonji, who accompanies her every morning on the train to school, is a stalker. At this time, Kei was reprimanded by Sakura for being overly self-conscious, and she later cleared her misunderstanding when she met and talked to Batsu himself.

  2. She wanders the town in search for that person she once saw: the high school girl with the burning gaze entranced by street fights!
    Kei Chitose has gone to the neighboring town, invited to hang out by her close friend Sakura Kasugano. Said friend is going around asking strong-looking men:
    "Please, have a street fight with me!"
    Of course Kei is pretty anxious over her friend's questionable behaviour. It's not like Sakura never did strange things before, but this time Kei really doesn't get her: apparently, what got her interested in street fights was one particular street fighter - so Sakura calls him - that she once saw as she was going to school.

  3. Ryu: "I did something a little out of the ordinary the other day."
    Ryu: "It was a small request from the priest who lets me train here, actually."
    Ryu: "He asked if I could participate in an event in town."
    Ryu: "Oh, it was nothing all that impressive."
    Ryu: "He wanted me to help carry a portable shrine at a local festival."

  4. Sakura: "Of course, after that we went to the Chinese buffet together." (もちろんそれから一緒に中華バイキングに行ったわ)
    Kei: "Chinese buffet?" (中華バイキング?)
    Sakura: "He wasn't keen on it, but he went with me half-heartedly." (ハッチは乗り気じゃなかったけど半ば強引にね。)
    Kei: "You're pretty good Sakura!" (なかなかさくらもやるじゃない!)
    Sakura: "Of course, I wanted to talk to him." (もちろん 話しきてきたいもの)
    Kei: "What did you talk about?" (どんな話ししたのよ?)
    Sakura: "What kind of training do you have to go through to be able to pull off a move like that!" (どんな修行したらそんな技出せるようになるかって!)
    Kei: "Huh!? Did you talk to him about anything else?" (他に話すことあるでしょあってでしょう?)
    Sakura: "But, that's the only thing I wanted to ask!" (だって聞きたかったのはそのことだ分!)
    Kei: "Aaaah! There's no sex appeal or anything......and that wasn't the end of it, was it? What happened next?" (色気も何もないんだから......でそれだけで終わったんじゃないでしょうね? 次につなげた?)
    Sakura: "Huh?"
    Kei: "You didn't ask for his contact information?" (連絡先聞かなかったの?)
    Sakura: "I didn't." (聞いてないわ)
    Kei: "You didn't!?" (聞いてないの!?)
