Juri Han first appears in 2010’s Super Street Fighter IV. She is a South Korean character, the first in the series. Some have claimed she is a lesbian because she seems to flirt with her female rivals (though in one of those scenes, she accuses Chun-Li of having a crush on her). She flirts with male characters as well, however, making her potentially an implicitly bisexual character.
