Karin

Karin considers herself a rival of Sakura, who defeated Karin when challenged. Karin is from the wealthy Kanzuki family (daughter of Daigenjyuro and Nadeshiko Kanzuki), whose motto is "All you need is victory" (also interpreted as "Be the winner in everything") and alternately "The worst we'll ever be is the Best". The Kanzuki corporation is threatened by Shadaloo, which then makes demands of the dynasty. She uses the family fortune when attempting to track down Shadaloo as well as a roving Sakura to challenge her again. Along the way, she encounters Blanka and defeats him in a friendly match, musing that "the world is so vast" for such a beast to exist. She also encounters R. Mika and battles her, and is so impressed by Mika's ability that she offers the wrestler her sponsorship. Karin eventually finds and defeats Sakura, but realizes the victory was a fluke, and that the fight itself is more important, not winning or losing (Ken Masters told her this previously). She lives by her motto more than the rest of her family, as she takes majority control of her father's company from under his nose in a hostile takeover (ironic since he was the one to drive that philosophy into her). Her family's estate covers 200 acres of land, and not only has its own geographical features, but its own climate.
