Jimmy Blanka (ブランカ, Buranka?) is a video game character from the Street Fighter series of fighting games. Blanka is depicted as a feral savage, with green skin and long orange hair, resembling a monster more than a human. He is one of the original eight characters featured in the first version of the Street Fighter II games.
Designed by Akira Yasuda, the concept behind Blanka was conceived early on, appearing in an early design document as an African man named "Anabebe" who was raised by a lion. After the release of Final Fight, Capcom approached the concept of Street Fighter II once more, and considered several designs for such a character, first one based on masked wrestler modeled after Tiger Mask and a later ninja-inspired appearance. The design later changed to a large man with thick hair and sideburns named "Hammer Blanka", before eventually becoming Blanka.
Blanka's first appearance in the Street Fighter series was in Street Fighter II. In his Street Fighter II ending, he reunites with his mother Samantha, who recognizes him from the anklet he wears. She reveals that Blanka was once known as Jimmy, before he was in a plane crash as a little boy. This crash caused him to be raised in the wild, although he has connections to a local village. Ever since the crash, Blanka/Jimmy had been separated from his mother.

Keywords: 1990s, based-on-video-game, chun-li, street-fighterwhen i'm away you never change
your love it stays when mine it fades
men will say what they say it doesn't change a single thing
for you are for me
another day it burned me up
words are cruel like children
the strangest thing i was born for this
as sparks they fly upward
but you are for me
i got the shakes for the lions outside are awake
it's feeding time and it's my life that is the storyline
the truth is strong and she holds me
she keeps me moving on when it gets overwhelming
