Zangief ( ; Japanese: ザンギエフ) is a fictional character in Capcom's Street Fighter series. The character was introduced as one of the eight playable characters in the video game Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991). In the game, Zangief primarily fights using grappling moves and is considered to be the first grappler-type fighting game character. The character was initially planned to be a strong but slow fighter placeholder named Vodka Golbalsky before eventually becoming a grappler after their name change, which derives from that of a Soviet wrestler. In the Street Fighter series, Zangief is a professional wrestler, nicknamed the Red Cyclone (赤きサイクロン), who hails from Russia and fights to prove the country's superiority by triumphing over other nations fighters in combat.
