Yun (ユン?) and Yang (ヤン Yan?) are a pair of video game characters appearing in the Street Fighter fighting game series. The characters are a pair of twin brothers known collectively as the Lee Brothers (李兄弟 Rī-kyōdai?, Chinese: Lǐ-xiōngdì). The twins made their debut in the original Street Fighter III and has also made appearances in Capcom vs. SNK 2 and in the portable versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3. Yun wears a blue baseball cap with a yellow visor, a sleeveless white kung fu shirt, yellow wristbands, and black pants and sneakers, while Yang wears a sleeveless salmon kung fu shirt, yellow wristbands, black pants and sneakers. The twins are two of few characters introduced in Street Fighter III who made appearances outside the Street Fighter III games.

[edit] Appearances
In the original version of Street Fighter III, Yun and Yang share the same frame in the character selection screen. Yun is the default character, selected with any punch buttons, while Yang is selectable by pressing any of the kick buttons, essentially making Yang an alternate design for Yun. In Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, Yang was made into a separately selectable character and his playing style began to deviate from Yun in this installment. This was carried on in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
In Capcom vs. SNK 2, Yun was one of several Capcom characters added in addition to the original game's roster. In this incarnation, Yun is selectable by himself, although the player can summon his brother Yang for special attacks. Yun, along with Eagle and Maki, were then added to the portable versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 released for the Game Boy Advance and later for the PlayStation Portable (Alpha 3 MAX). Yun also appears in Capcom Fighting Jam for the PlayStation 2. His appearance in those two games are based on his Capcom vs. SNK 2 incarnation.
[edit] Backstory and personalities
Yun and Yang are relatives of Lee, a character who appears in the original Street Fighter.[1] Yun's appearance seems to have been strongly influenced by Lee, as both characters are depicted wearing blue caps and both sport the same braided hairstyle. The twins were orphaned as children and raised by an adoptive grandfather, who trained the boys in the art of Kung Fu. The restaurant that they work in belongs to their grandfather. Between the two brothers, Yun is the more confident, outgoing one, while Yang is the quiet, brooding one. Yun enjoys skateboarding, while Yang prefers in-line skating. The twins have a crush on a girl named Houmei, but Houmei likes Yun. However, Houmei has a younger sister named Shaomei who has a crush on Yang.
