Vega, also known as Balrog (Japanese: バルログ) in Japan, is a character from the Street Fighter fighting game series by Capcom. Vega is a masked claw fighter from Spain who uses a personal fighting style combining Japanese ninjutsu and Spanish bullfighting, earning him the nickname of "Spanish Ninja".
