Captain Sawada

Kenzo Sawada, commonly known as Captain Sawada, is a character in the 1994 film Street Fighter. Portrayed by Kenya Sawada, he came about due to Kenya originally being cast as Ryu through Capcom's wishes, but was recast by writer-director Steven E. de Souza as an original character called Captain Sawada, created to give him a role. He lost the role due to De Souza wanting an actor who had a better grasp of English.

He later appears as a playable character in both the arcade game adaptation and console game adaptation, both in 1995. He uses Muay Thai, as well as techniques based on harakiri and kamikaze. The game has come to be known as the "Sawada Game" due to his involvement. His techniques, particularly the harakiri technique, contributed to him becoming a cult favorite among fans. He has also been compared to the character Fei-Long from Street Fighter II, suggested to have replaced the character in the film.
