Sodom

Sodom (ソドム) is a unique character in the Street Fighter series, first appearing as a boss in Final Fight before becoming a playable character in the Street Fighter Alpha series. He is an American obsessed with Japanese culture, formerly a high-ranking member and ringleader of the Mad Gear Gang. Sodom considers himself Japanese, wearing American-style clothing infused with Japanese elements such as a samurai helmet, armor, tabi, and zori, and attempts to write the Japanese kanji for "death" on his outfit. His use of Japanese is heavily accented, often mixing English words into his sentences, which makes his dialogue comical. In the game, Sodom typically fights with a pair of jitte or katana blades, incorporating various Japanese martial arts elements into his moves. Although initially a villain, as the story progresses, Sodom also displays a certain Bushido spirit and reconciles with his former enemy Rolento, pursuing new ideals together. He is a character full of personality, known for his unique look and comical speech, becoming a beloved character in the Street Fighter series.
