Real name Jimmy
Blanka (Japanese: ブランカ, Hepburn: Buranka) is a fictional character in Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game series. He first appeared in the 1991 video game Street Fighter II as one of eight playable characters, and was subsequently featured in sequel and spin-off games. Blanka is also present in a number of Capcom's crossover games, including the SNK vs. Capcom series. The character has appeared in other media adaptations of the franchise, including an animated film, a live-action movie, an animated television series, a comic book and manga series.
Blanka was originally designed as a human character by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, and underwent several re-conceptualizations during the production of Street Fighter II before reaching his final depiction as a feral savage with green skin and long orange hair. Blanka's backstory is that he was once human, but after a plane crash in Brazil he mutated (resulting in his green coloring and his ability to generate electricity). Blanka was generally well received by critics and fans, becoming one of the most popular characters in the franchise.
Biography
L'histoire officielle dit que le petit Jimmy, né le 12 février 1966, a survécu à un crash aérien dans la jungle brésilienne, alors qu'il n'avait que 5 ans. Devenu "sauvage" après tant d'années passées dans la jungle, sa mère le retrouve en fin du tournoi de Street Fighter II: The World Warrior et le reconnaît grâce aux anneaux fixés sur ses jambes .Dans le film live Street Fighter, Blanka est le résultat d'expériences génétiques des savants de Shadaloo visant à la création de la machine à tuer parfaite, avec l'aide forcée de Dhalsim. Son vrai nom est Carlos Blanka et Guile l'appelle "Charlie", qui est un surnom couramment donné aux Carlos par les américains, et non pas parce qu'il a été mélangé au personnage de Charlie Nash comme le croient certains fans.
Ses rivaux sont Edmond Honda (principal rival dans Street Fighter II), El Fuerte, Zangief, Sakura, Dan et Karin.

In the Southeast Asian nation of Shadaloo City, civil war has erupted between the forces of crazed military dictator General M. Bison (Raul Julia) and the Allied Nations, a multinational military force, led by their regional commander, Colonel William F. Guile. Bison has recently captured several A.N. relief workers, and via a live two-way radio broadcast, demands Guile secure a US$20 billion ransom in three days or else face responsibility for the hostages' deaths. Guile refuses and vows to track Bison down, but his assistant, Sergeant Cammy (Kylie Minogue) is only partially able to pinpoint Bison's location to the river-delta region outside the city. One of the hostages is Guile's close friend, Carlos "Charlie" Blanka (Robert Mammone), who Bison orders taken to his lab for his captive witch doctor, Dhalsim (Roshan Seth), to turn into the first of his supersoldiers. Though Charlie is severely disfigured by the procedure, Dhalsim secretly alters his cerebral programming to maintain Charlie's humanity.
