Dhalsim (ダルシム) is a fictional character in Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games. He first appeared in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991. Dhalsim is a yoga master from India, known for his ability to stretch his limbs and breathe fire. He is typically depicted as a thin man with pupil-less white eyes, wearing tattered yellow saffron shorts, and adorned with accessories that signify his connection to yoga. Dhalsim is a pacifist who enters the World Warrior tournament to raise money for his village, adhering to his moral principles by never harming opponents more than necessary. His unique fighting style relies on long-range attacks and flexible movements, and he possesses special abilities like Yoga Fire and Yoga Teleport. Dhalsim's design and inspiration are drawn from Indian yogis, and he embodies deep religious and philosophical beliefs in the game. While a powerful fighter, Dhalsim is more concerned with helping others and maintaining peace than the act of fighting itself.
