Han Juri (katakana: ハン・ジュリ, hangul: 한주리) is a character in the Street Fighter series. She makes her debut in Super Street Fighter IV. She is the first Korean character in the Street Fighter series, and the only one that uses Taekwondo so far. She is voiced by Kitamura Eri.
She is described as being an "evil, mean and nasty" member of S.I.N. who is a main character in the SFIV storyline. The character was created by request of many Korean fans who wished for Capcom to add a Korean character in Street Fighter, something already established by SNK and Namco.
She is depicted as being overtly sadistic and often belittering and making sexually suggestive remarks toward her opponents. According to Menat, these cruel demeanor were simply a facade to hide her emotional pain and suffering as a result of her traumatic experience after her parents were killed by M. Bison, who blinded her left eye, along with her mistreatment after she was captured as a test subject by Shadaloo and S.I.N. Her left eye were replaced with "Feng Shui engine", a device capable of enhancing one's power with ki energy, in which she typically covered it with her eyepatch or diagonal bangs.
Ironically, Juri is initially met with negative reception from some Korean fanbases, primarily due to her "non-authentic" appearance, albeit these negative connotations would be dissipated afterwards. Her creation is also seen as a rib to The King of Fighters as all the Korean characters in that franchise, particularly Kim Kaphwan, are either representatives of Justice or evildoers who redeemed themselves, while she is (at least initially) a servant of evil.
