Hakan

Hakan (ハカン^?) is an oil wrestler from Turkey and is the second new addition to Super Street Fighter IV. His fighting style is based on Yağlı güreş
and revolves around him coating himself in oil, making his body
slippery. This gives him an edge as he can slide across the ground and
launch his opponents by squeezing them through his bulging muscles. The
father of seven young daughters, Hakan is also the president of an olive
oil company, who seeks to create the perfect olive oil. He is
apparently old friends with E. Honda, who is his fighting rival in Super Street Fighter IV.
Hakan was frequently rumored before he was revealed, due to a forum
post with a photo that was believed to be concept art for new
characters. Director Ono stated that Hakan was deliberately written as a
"loving husband and father" in order to alleviate any perceivable
homoerotic implications that oil wrestling has to American audiences.
