春麗 春丽 チュン・リー チュンリー
[b]Chun-Li[/b] (Traditional: 春麗. Simplified: 春丽) is a character in the [[Street Fighter]] series by [[Capcom]]. She is the first female playable character to appear in a 1-on-1 fighting game.

Introduced in [[Street Fighter II (series)|]], Chun-Li was the youngest member of the roster and only female character in the game, the self-proclaimed "strongest woman in the world," and while not as physically powerful as the other characters, she was by far the quickest. Her most famous attack is the [i]Hyakuretsukyaku[/i] ("Hundred Crack Legs", alternately known as "Lightning Legs"), where she repeatedly kicks her opponent from a tilted standing position with incredible speed.

In the Street Fighter series, Chun-Li was an Interpol investigator from [[China]] who had been searching for clues to the recent death of her father. Getting into a friendly spar with an old teacher of hers and friend of her father, [[Gen (street fighter)|]], he gives her a lead into who may have killed her father—the mysterious crime syndicate Shadaloo and its tyrannical leader [[M. Bison]]. After an encounter where M. Bison confirms he slew her father, a tearful Chun-Li swore vengeance and made it her life's mission to destroy Shadaloo and bring M. Bison to justice. She collaborated closely with [[Guile]], [[Cammy White]], [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|]], and the other World Warriors throughout the journey.

After M. Bison's supposedly final death during [[Street Fighter V]], her mission complete, Chun-Li retired from Interpol and opened an orphanage to live a quieter life. The most famous of her young wards - practically her adopted daughter - is [[Li-Fen]].

Chun-Li is one of Capcom's most popular characters and one of the most important females in video game history, appearing in numerous cross-overs and promotions. Her oldest and arguably greatest cross-company rival is [[SNK]]'s [[Fatal Fury]]'s [[Shiranui Mai|Mai Shiranui]].
