Tag type: Character

Sodom (ソドム, Sodomu) originally appeared in the beat-em-up Final Fight, where he is the boss of the Subway stage. An underground wrestling promoter dressed in a samurai-like helmet and gear, Sodom fights the player in an underground ring within the Metro City's subway, wielding two Masamune blades. In the international versions of Final Fight for the SNES and Sega CD, Sodom was renamed Katana, due to the obvious reference to sodomy.

Sodom would make his first appearance in the Street Fighter series in the original Street Fighter Alpha. In the Alpha series, Sodom is characterized as an American Japanophile who is greatly fascinated by Japanese culture, but actually misunderstands it. After he was defeated by Guy during the events of Final Fight, Sodom realized that he had a wrong perception of Japan and traveled there to re-educate himself. He develops a new fighting style based on Japanese and Western martial arts and trades his Masamune blades with a pair of Jitte. In the first Alpha, he seeks to rebuild the Mad Gear gang by defeating his old rival Guy in combat. In his ending in Street Fighter Alpha 2, Sodom goes to a sumo ring in Japan to seek new members for the reformed Mad Gear and ends up being challenged by E. Honda. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, he seeks a new hideout for his gang and goes to claim Shadaloo's new underground base as his own when he learns about it from his former ally Rolento and ends up crashing his own truck into M. Bison's in order to foil his plot. In Alpha 3 he also regains his katana blades from Final Fight when the player selects him in the X-ism style.

In the Japanese versions of the Street Fighter Alpha games, where the series is known as Street Fighter Zero, Sodom's victory quotes are composed of seemingly nonsensical English phrases that are actually meant to be mispronounced Japanese phrases. For example, Sodom would say "Die Job Death Car?" instead of Daijōbu desu ka (大丈夫ですか, "Are you all right?") Nippon daisuki (ニッポン大好き?, "I love Japan!") is rendered as "Nip On Die Ski!". In the English version of Alpha 3, Sodom says "Don't thank me! In fact, 'don't touch my moustache!'" in one of his victory quotes. "Don't touch my moustache" is a commonly taught approximation of the phrase dō itashimashite (どう致しまして?, "you're welcome").

In addition to the Alpha series, Sodom also appears as a playable character in Final Fight Revenge and makes a couple of cameos in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. In Mighty Final Fight, there are actually three Sodoms (or Katanas, as the character is referred to as in the English version) known as the Three Katana Brothers.
