Kimberly is Guy's or Maki's student rumor has it
If I'm judging by her hand movements, slide and air grab....Guy's student for sure

The Ninja. Kimberly invited herself to become Guy's student in the art of Bushinryu. She is infatuated with '80s pop culture hence why she always carries a portable cassette player with her.

So Kimberly is definitely Kenyan right?

Her head wraps and scarf definitely has the prints and patterns, Plus the track and field stuff too. Then she’s a 80s hip hop head with spray cans.

There’s a lot going on in her design thematically, but I guess Capcom has earned that right mash all that shyt up.

How Capcom designed Kimberly and Juri for Street Fighter 6

The developer dives into character design details for the newly announced fighters.

Bust out some beats and shake up your spray cans to welcome the newest ninja to Street Fighter 6. Kimberly invited herself to become Guy’s student, who is the 39th Successor to Bushinryu after defeating his master Zeku, the 38th Successor. Kimberly had an ordinary upbringing, but she’s a prodigy who graduated college early and now wants to be a full-fledged ninja. She is infatuated with ’80s pop culture when the portable cassette player was at its peak popularity, hence why she always carries one with her.

I read the fukkin blog post like everyone else.

I’m asking a legitimate question about her design but you too ignant about other cultures to dive deeper about her design motif.

Bruh, just leave that alone. You gonna stir up a hornets nest if you start insinuating she is anything other than American black before Capcom themselves clarifies if need be.

Kimberly looks too fukking dope. Definitely going to be playing her. Love the bushinryu run style.

As far as her being Kenyan, while I wouldn't mind it, it's better for her to be black American, since black American female characters are horribly represented in games in general, let alone in fighters even more so. Jacqui Briggs might be the only definitive one there is. Most the other black females in fighters just so happen to be African, mixed with another race/culture altogether or are suspiciously without background origin knowledge.

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

Matter fact, 2/3rds of definitive African fighting game female characters are from Kenya (being Storm and Elena, with Deloris of KOFXV being from Mali) . @Batsute WTF would you be fawning for yet another one to be specifically from there? Any more from there would be trope-ish as fukk. You want her to have "mystic" white hair and blue eyes too? Get back in the dojo and get your weight up, fool.
