Beautiful New Illustration by Kinu Nishimura Revealed for 2021 Capcom Store Merch Line

  

Legendary female artist, Kinu Nishimura, is well-known and beloved among fighting game fans for her beautiful Capcom illustrations over the decades. Kinu's contribution to the Street Fighter series is iconic, as she was one of the lead artists and character designers of Street Fighter III: New Generation and 2nd: Impact — games that many consider to be the "artistic peak" of the series. Kinu is also famed for illustrating the "Capcom side" character artwork of Capcom Vs. SNK 1 & 2. Today, Famitsu reported that a brand new illustration by Kinu, depicting a variety of fan-favorite Capcom characters, will be the centerpiece for a 2021 line of Capcom merchandise soon to be on sale at Capcom Store Tokyo and Osaka.
