Street Fighter EX3 - Sakura Mankai (Hokuto's Theme)

[187onaPigeon]

Am I playing Mystical Ninja? GOEMON?!

Aw shit wait. Fucking GODLIKE.

[lordkiku2]

Sakura (This one, not the fan girl)... Teams up... With Kasumi from AOF3. My work here is done.

[lordkiku2]

@lordkiku2 Scratch that, Hokuto. Not this Sakura. That's the song. SHIII- Why does this always happen?

[TheSeriousmrkarate]

With a sprinkle of Tenchu.

[TheSeriousmrkarate]

Ninja Rush in the Hunt at Midnight.

[calcnico]

Her theme is from 1996, which predates a silly drawn series that has a target audience of children. The main instrument is also traditional with relation to century old sword warfare, not to whatever decides to use it improperly in fiction.

[FlamingHotPants]

Lol, this definitely does not sound like it would be in naruto. I watched it enough to know, this song would make naruto a better show.

[EmptyKingdoms]

This soundtrack... Was at Capcom's peak of creativity, originality and arrangement. Haven't heard music this great in years. Gold old memories.

[jediknightgeo]

@EmptyKingdoms Absolutely true but it was actually Arika, the developer of the EX series, who deserve the credit for the kick ass soundtrack. Capcom just published it. If you have the time check out other Arika developed games (Megaman Network Transmission, Endless Ocean 1+2, Technic Beat, etc) you'll notice (or rather hear) they all have INCREDIBLY good and catchy tunes. Arika is just awesome when it comes to the music in their games.

[BajiBunny]

In my opinion, I think people need to stop caring about other peoples likes, If someone wants to be obsessive over a show (Not saying that they are) Then let them. :I And STFU, No one cares about how much you hate Naruto, Nor should anyone be so offended by the fact you like it. >->

[FMRagna]

'Getting a "Mystical Ninja" vibe from this.

[SamusSuperStar]

*looks at the title* Why do I keep thinking of Naruto when I hear this?

[FMRagna]

@SamusSuperStar Because you're a Naru-fag who eats, drinks, and breathes that shit.

[SamusSuperStar]

@FMRagna Yes I do... What ever...

[kalebparham]

that Forehead

[SamusSuperStar]

@kalebparham See? An even bigger reason why I'm reminded of Naruto when I hear this:

1. Hokuto has a big forehead, like Sakura.

2. The name of her theme is called "Sakura Mankai"

3. The song has the same "Naruto" feel to it.

[kalebparham]

@SamusSuperStar idk i know nothing of naruto except homeboy wheres a orange jumpsuit, which isnt too ninja like

[baumwipfel]

I want my Street Fighter Alpha Characters back -.- All of them ecspecially Hokuto, Skullomania and Garuda they were so awesome, but no we have to get that weird turkish wrestler in SF4 who sh*t out his enemys with his ultimate o.O WTF!!!!!!!

[elendless]

I could live in that big forehead with all my family and there'd be still space for 2 more families

[MystyrNile]

@elendless Stop talking about her forehead, and just look at what's under it. :3

(Wait a second, that could be her brain, OR her face. Ahh forget it, it works both ways. :D)

[23AGF23]

I miss Kairi.

[LiamGrimTV]

I miss Hokuto

[opitus1234567]

Hokuto's family has a fighting histoy of over 2000 years don't ya know?

[akioritube]

i can hear Kairi fighting by this wonderful music (Maryu Reko), same for his beautiful sister Hokuto , (btw, nice dress)

[SpinDoctor91]

Wish Hokuto and alot of the other EX3 exclusive characters would appear in another SF game. Like SF 5.

[Y2JVS6]

Kasumi Vs Hakuto

Kairi vs Rock

Mignon vs Nanase

K vs Pullum .....you name it

[Avasonewingedangel]

@Y2JVS6

capcom V SNK 3

[Y2JVS6]

@Avasonewingedangel  yeah

[ripejak]

This theme is a masterpiece it's surprising because it's Capcom :love: !

[ydureno]

Hokuto vs Asuka(Tekken)

[MissMysterie]

I love the variation in the end :) that song rocks!

[kidgoku233]

She iz sexy lol dis wuz one of my main characters



[BlackFireX07]

It's weird, if you think about it. Most character that wear headbands LOOK like that have big forehands, but when they take them off, they have NORMAL sized foreheads. Very strange...

Other than that, I like Hokuto's theme most! she is a bad-ass character! ^_^

[inukaiversus]

Best character of Street Fighter Ex series.

[alvinkwan89]

I like the way she doesn't look as feminine as other SF girls but looks tough instead.

[TheDarrien21]

@alvinkwan89 same with Makoto

[WebkinzDazzle126]

Why make fun of her forehead. Is that the reason you came here?

STFU and enjoy the music.

[tekkenmasterbrian]

can use that forehead as a projector for movies....damn

[Y2JVS6]

this is hakuto and his amnesia suffering brother Kairi and that in sf ex

[InuYasha5081]

0:46

[Julienfun]

Hokuto was one of the best Arika characters in the EX series

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

EX4s Being made

[davidterrell]

i bet she cant cover her forehead with her hands (yes hands)

[XsharkunX]

AMAZING ! 

[Sho12345]

watch?v=t_he-rTUxPA This video needs more views... seriously check it out

[1234zen1234]

@Sho12345 That's sick thanks

[toadettegurl]

Hokuto's Theme = Makoto's Theme from Street Fighter III 3rd Strike

[TranceCore3]

I don't hear the similarities.

[toadettegurl]

@TranceCore3 you gotta listen really carefully

[TranceCore3]

I listened to them side by side, and I really don't hear it D:

[toadettegurl]

@TranceCore3 I hear it o.o

[SpeakMyMind500]

man i remember when my brother rented this game for me, i never wanted to return it.

[Jayvee4635]

Sounds like a ninja/samurai theme.

[Jayvee4635]

You must have a playlist for these. Following the order: Capcom heroes, Arika heroes, Hidden Characters.

[philsnk]

I could get sounds like this in my Yamaha keyboard, but the flutes aren't as clear, because they're actually African.

[rockfever723]

@Omegawolf98

No, but they can buy out the rights to the characters just the same.

[Sho12345]

Man I never get tired of this song ever since I first listened to it in 1997 up till today it is still my most favorite VGM, its just so lively and mysterious at the same time

[nikimasseurforhealth]

I like her a lot. She is Inspiration that I was introduced to Aikido and has studied aikido. Love at first sight since the first time we met and I have studied Japanese until now. She's the best sister that I love Hokuto

[WW3seeker]

I know I spamming much, but realy capcom, why not Hokuto in sf4? Look at her, even when she is just doing nothing but stare somewhere she is badass !! I say Hokuto is the best thing ever happened to Street Fighter, go ahead haters.. reply!

[TheLeafhopper]

@WW3seeker Like the highest rated comment said. Capcom never bought the characters Akira made and I think I read some where even if they wanted to buy them I dont think Akira is selling them.

[hopeonelove]

@TheLeafhopper but akira's not doing anything with them...

[sketcha09]

@hopeonelove They are actually

watch?v=7Nxb-mcn6wg

[WW3seeker]

the reason why Hokuto is not in sf4 (besides copyright bullshit) is that if she would be she would kick Juris, Vipers and even Chun-Li's ass with no problem and that would ruin all their girly business storyline that they made there.

[TragicFires]

I love her. She bitch slaps mofos with her fan :D

[BAD187]

hey retards i was talking about her big ass forehead looking like sakura from naruto. fucking kids these days.

[Charnyman]

Bloody Hokuto.

[tekkenfan999]

kairi's sister u kno!

[96Nathan96]

@tekkenfan999 I applaud to your username.

[tekkenfan999]

@96Nathan96 thnx

[chau2k5]

jun kazama pwns both

[taki255]

hakuto can pwn asuka anytime

[jackofblades1515]

She reminds me of Asuka Kazama off the Tekken series, thumbs up if you agree.

[NotRummy44]

NOSTALGIA FUCKKKKKKK

[PawsOfFate]

Hokuto was my favorite character in the EX series. I wish they would put her as well as the other EX characters in the this game in a future game.

[zaine117]

more like hotuko lol.

[zaine117]

i want to see hokuto,kairi,dr.dark,area,skul­lo,jack and garuda in more sf's.

[AfroRebelSuave]

I love the break at 2:02 it just makes this better than it already is thx for the upload!

[psycopower90]

I know why she protect her bosom with the red plate: because her breast are so big they would obstacolate her - the more stark ladies look, the more horny they are. And that's true, I had a gal similiar to Hokuto - however from South Africa - and she was... yummy!

[lelmonteiro]

@psycopower90 wonker

[psycopower90]

@lelmonteiro

Positive or negative intention with "wonker"? Wonker like "oh, you silly boy" or "shout ya fucking mouth"?

[lelmonteiro]

@psycopower90 hhauhauahua!!! Relax man! Just Kiddin'

[psycopower90]

@lelmonteiro

It's that I don't understand english swearwords... I'm used to talk the polite way.

Hokuto's lustful. Woo on her when you dream.

[dottorcozza88]

First two seconds are awesome!

[shadowblackajey]

Sounds like a sequel of Pearl in The Sky from SF Ex2.

[b7r0n]

Thanks for posting the songs! Where can I find a download for this album?

[nonnatural]

Hard to believe someone disliked this. This song fits her quite nicely.

[VetaEXZ]

she looks like some1...i think naruto or Rounikensin -_-

[Ultrasoulstealer]

Sounds something out of Inuyasha to me.

[Black0Seraph]

@Ultrasoulstealer very true

[GodGriff]

Dat Forehead

[BAD187]

@GodGriff its like sakura from naruto, music fits too. 

[KennethMoreland]

@BAD187

Naruto is gay.

Get that crap out of here.

[march88]

@KennethMoreland Thank you, gentleman. I approve of this comment.

Now let's enjoy this tune like real ladies and gents.

...

DAT BASS OH FUCK YEEEEAHH

[AuoraVirus]

@KennethMoreland CORRECTION, MY GOOD FELLOW. Naruto Shippuden is gay. At least the old series was MILDLY decent, right?

[RavinKaito]

@AuoraVirus Agreed Old is fine, the new stuff just keeps going, and going, and going.....

[AuoraVirus]

@RavinKaito LOL I KNOW.

[KAXSH]

@KennethMoreland : Ha that's funny! Just a few seconds ago a guy said that this theme sounds like music from Naruto (on another video) and I said the same thing... well I said "get the fuck out of this page" but the princlple's the same. XD

[RavinKaito]

@KAXSH lmao They're all over XD

[southstar44]

@KennethMoreland  lololol

[SamusSuperStar]

@KennethMoreland No it's not...

[Joesire]

@GodGriff hahaaaha

[DevilRiseS4]

@GodGriff I'd still tap that.

[IriomoteMewMew]

LOL it has the word sakura in it >3<

[weejayR9]

one of the new girl's with great fighting style besides chun li..

[kixx6]

I love the bass guitar in this. It adds a sweet upbeat tempo to this track.

[JonasBridgous]

@kixx6 Then search for Tomohito Aoki . . . he is that awesome bassist you hear on most of these Street Fighter tracks. (He died in 2006 of a heart problem).

[1Nanalo]

Damnnit WHy dont Capcom just buy the Arika owned characters

[fofitohi]

@1Nanalo

I agree T____T

[Invincnerd]

@1Nanalo Because Arika pretty much created a duplicate of every Capcom Street Fighter, causing a divide. Capcom wasn't pleased.

[rjae984]

@1Nanalo agreed, would love to have Cjack on SSFIV and Nanase

[BBoyPhreshershist]

@1Nanalo Cause they're cheap. lol Plus the rosters already getting kinda bloated anyway......

[jinjin45]

@1Nanalo Arika doesnt want to give them up. Its all they have now, besides their shitty puzzle games

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

@1Nanalo Cause There Retarded And Theyre Too Lazy To Buy The Copyrights

[lelmonteiro]

@1Nanalo and music too

[kuwabatakesanjuro1]

@1Nanalo

They tried but Arika asked for too much yen. That being the case Capcom backed down and decided it better to just make more EX-type games with Arika.

[dantetwin70]

@1Nanalo

man i missed this so much! This is one of my most fav stages in this game:)

[hidan407]

@1Nanalo

i think its cause it will be VERY hard for them to make the ex characters fit the canon of the already existing street fighter universe. unless thery made ex come after 3rd strike as a contination of the street fighter story

[arthisuther]

what a jam!

[Jaddahakarie]

I saw her ending...she is a beast!

[BountyLeChocolat]

She s pretty music ! no no the girl is pretty :-)

[DaflexFromDIFB]

that's normally what should be Guy's ssf4 theme for me .....

[CharlieSincinatti]

this song reminds me of legend of the mystical ninja......thats not a bad thing

[windego999]

I really wish Capcom fully owned SF EX so they could put Hokuto and Skullomania in SSF4 has DLC but that'll never happen V_V Would have been awesome though!

[biggboy03]

street fighter ex 3 has some of the best music i have ever heard in the serires

[000Moli000]

hokuto is the best char of sf series, but this artwork is ugly...

[OkSka]

@000Moli000

I agree. I liked her EX 2 outfit better. 

[royokihokage]

Hokuto > Makoto....sorry fanboys thats the truth...

she is the only character I remember from this game when i was 8 XD

[nswrth]

a woman of beauty and danger

[monkey670]

bring back the alpha or ex series Capcom please, enough with crossover games,

[tashand]

2:00 best bit

[TheWolfLucario]

@tashand That always bugged me about this game's soundtrack, the matches were always over before it got to the good part. XD

[nswrth]

yo~~~~~

[Lordnicon999]

OMFG!!!! Tell me why i returned my copy of this!?!? Never listen to your friends kids when they tell you to trade in great games because they are all playing Tekken Tag (also a good game but come on!!!) This soundtrack is AMAZING.

[reyosa1511]

best street fighter soundtrack ever

[leanfist]

Memories! 

[indigothecat]

Just putting it out there in case people didn't know, Hokuto's design is almost an exact replica of the garb that is commonly worn by priestesses of Japanese Shrines, though typically the outfits would have red bottoms, not blue. (I believe Hokuto's alternate outfit has red bottoms instead of blue.)

[kelek1337]

Kinda a mix of Ken's old SF theme and Kabuki music.. i like it!

[DesertsRequiem]

She was my favorite character. I wish theyd put her in other ones.

[ezzydric]

too bad its over for these guys chances are we will never see ex characters again

[SaitoKojima]

I love how ARIKA always manages to make amazing music.

The SF EX series, Rockman EXE Transmission, the remixes in Ketsui DEATH LABEL, etc.

[Kraksang]

I bet she would look awesome in the SFIV engine.

[Sho12345]

I really love Hokuto's design, she has the image of a silent but strong woman, MY GOD PUT HER ON SF5

[Gravelneed]

@Sho12345 Hokuto seems much more like an SNK character than Street Fighter one. lol

[jieuxx]

@Gravelneed Hokuto = Karin Kanzuki in disguise ^_^

[Sho12345]

@Gravelneed I don't know about that, but in my opinion she is a street fighter, since most KOF characters tend to be more wild and have anime-ish costumes, but most of the original SF2 characters were simple and iconic in design, hence hokuto's simple style, from the traditional garb to the simple hair, to the simplicity of the animation of her moves, the only noteworthy comparison to her is Kasumi Todoh, and that's because of their costumes only

[rehzon]

@Gravelneed

Like Todoh from Art of Fighting? :)

[Arabastai]

I'm gay for Hokuto.

[royokihokage]

@Arabastai your a girl ?

[Arabastai]

@royokihokage Why are you asking?

[royokihokage]

@Arabastai nevermind.... <_<

[Arabastai]

@royokihokage Tell me.

[royokihokage]

@Arabastai cause i like lesbians XD

[MrGarland23]

Love this song it very powerfull to me .....

[24kojiful]

street fighter ex1 plus alpha is the best music than other street fighters!!

[ElBandido321]

can never tell which street fighter had better music Third Strike or EX3 either way there both equally great

[syaoran2118]

TAIYURIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Freestylr88]

I remember when I first heard this when I was younger the first person that came to my mind was Guy for some odd reason 0_o...Anyways I love the Street Fighter EX music!! One of the most overlooked fighting games if you ask me

[cucollins12]

fuuuuta aasi yo si me etsito

[ryukenakuma94]

i like street fighter EX series too i think its better then SS4 a little but EX charcters sure had way better new charcters then SS4 Juri the only one that was cool

[cucollins12]

street fighter ex is awesome... and coming from me a person who hates 3D fighters... in MY opinion ex series is the only 3d fighter that i respect..

[Nakasoul]

She should have been in SFIV

[shaniakid]

hey where can i find this track from?

[nguyenkhan202]

Anyone knows what kind of clothes she wears?

[Nakasoul]

@nguyenkhan202 Aikido pants

[24710kstz]

sakura was another pretty girl!!!

[nguyenkhan202]

@24710kstz Tah, but she's too muscle :P
