Blanka is a
feral man with green skin and has the ability to generate electricity. Blanka
was originally a young boy named Jimmy who was in a plane crash, and ended up in the
Amazon jungle. The
plane was shot down by Shadaloo when it came too close to a base. For many
years, Blanka
was raised by animals. One day he saved Dan Hibiki's life
in the jungle. They became friends, and Blanka left to see the outside
world.
Blanka developed a taste for street fighting and he eventually competes in the
second World Warrior tournament. During the events of Street Fighter 2,
Blanka reunites with his mother, who recognized him on a televised broadcast
of his fights due to the anklets that he wears.
 
Blanka decides to leave the comfort of his mother for a while because people
stare at him, and he decides to travel to Hong-Kong with Dan. In Street
Fighter 4,
Blanka, Dan and Sakura enter S.I.N.'s
tournament, each for their own reasons, with Blanka wanting to earn people's
respect.
In SFV, Blanka is living
peacefully with his mother, and has adapted well to being introduced back into
society. One day, a suspicious salesman approaches him and offers a way to make
Blanka famous by mass producing a doll made in Blanka's likeness.

Blanka
was the prominent oddball/freak design of the SF2 series (besides Dhalsim,
that is). On a personal note, Blanka was my original "main" in SF2
when I was a little kid. I think it was his unique play style
that drew me to the character... just mashing punch buttons to create
electricity and wait for careless opponent to run into it? Too fun. lmao.
In general, I'm not a huge fan of Blanka's design, but he does look cool in a few
artworks. I think the SFA3 "beast-like" Blanka is the coolest version of
him,
rather than his "man-ish face" version in SF2/SF4. I also love
the SFA3 Blanka sprite in general, he looks awesome. On a side note,
Blanka clearly seems to
suffer from the same "overly green" disease as Hulk (and even wears shorts and fights barefoot like
Hulk). Ironically enough, Capcom included both of
them together in an artwork, which you can see below (Hulk's MSH VS SF
ending).
