This sword-wielding young man is from the village of Kukunochi. His father is the legendary swordsman who defeated the Orochi that appeared in the village. Sword-wielding characters are quite rare in Street Fighter.

It's his job to defeat evil spirits and demons. He trains tirelessly everyday in order to defeat the sinister Orochi demon.

This time we're being graced with an additional comment from one of our superior officers!

During development, we called his "Tsumuji Kagero-Kyoku" move (see image below) the "UFO!". Ever since then I can't not see it as a UFO. There was a point where it always gave me the giggles.
