He also wears black studded armbands and a yellow bandana on his head with a matching rainbow camouflage motif.īorn and raised in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Zangief is an incredibly patriotic character who has been motivated in some way to fight for his Russian motherland in every single game he has ever been in.

Although modern 3D interpretations of Zangief have so far not shown him with his cloak, he is still depicted as wearing it before matches in his ending movie on Super Street Fighter IV. The cloak became an accepted fixture of his image and he was shown with it in the 1994 Street Fighter II animated movie. Starting with Street Fighter Alpha 2, Zangief was adorned with a red cloak that he would remove before starting his matches. He would retain the tank top in all his Street Fighter II portraits (except Turbo Revival and HD Remix), in order to indicate what color the player chose for him. In one of Zangief's concept artworks, he wore a tank top and had a sailor anchor tattoo on his left arm.
Zangief's wardrobe consists of simple red wrestling trunks with a gold belt, along with red and gold wristbands and his red wrestling boots with gold trim. His massive frame is almost entirely covered in scars from his bouts with brown bears in the barren and remote area of Siberia. Since his debut in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991, Zangief has been portrayed with a beard and a mohawk, along with a uniquely-shaped formation of chest hair on his torso and on his shins. Zangief is a massive fighter, weighing 400 lbs and standing slightly over 7 feet tall, placing him as one of the tallest characters in the entire Street Fighter roster.
