Suzuki showcases Blanka-themed Carry at TGS 2026

MANILA: Suzuki Motor Corporation is showcasing a Blanka-themed Carry light commercial vehicle (LCV) at the ongoing Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2026. 

The exhibit is part of the Japanese automaker’s collaboration with video game developer and publisher Capcom Company Limited (Co., Ltd.) for the title “Street Fighter 6.” 

“Since last year, Suzuki has participated in the Tokyo Game Show and has been committed to creating new user experiences through the fusion of gaming and mobility,” the vehicle manufacturer wrote in a press release. 

“At this year’s event, marking our second appearance, Suzuki will continue to convey its appeal to game fans around the world through collaborations with characters from Capcom Co., Ltd.’s popular game ‘Street Fighter 6,’” it added.

Blanka Base Camp 

Taking center stage at Suzuki Motor Corporation’s booth at TGS 2026 is the Blanka Base Camp Carry LCV. 

In the game, Blanka—real name Jimmy—works as an adventure tour guide in his local Amazon jungle and has dreams of becoming popular by selling “Blanka-chan” dolls modeled after himself.

Thus, for TGS 2026 Suzuki has created a special Carry mini truck named “Blanka Base Camp.”

During the event, in addition to the vehicle display, original Blanka cushions will be distributed as novelty goods. 

Suzuki Carry PH specs 

The Suzuki Carry is available here in the Philippines, which means nothing can stop business owners who first saw Blanka on Street Fighter II as kids from dressing up their Dropside-grade vehicles. 

Powertrain-wise, it packs a 1,462 cubic-centimeter, gasoline-fed engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Suited for carrying Jimmy’s dolls and haul heavier loads, it produces some 95 horses and 160 Newton-meters of pulling power. 

With a ground clearance of 160 millimeters paired with a set of 13-inch wheels (and 165/80-series tires), the LCV is more than ready to traverse the Brazilian landscape, or in our case, the pothole-ridden roads of the metro. 

The Suzuki Carry Dropside variant costs P650,000. 

Hayabusa Tuned by Juri 

In addition to the Blanka-themed Suzuki Carry, Suzuki is also displaying the Hayabusa inspired by the Street Fighter character Juri. 

The motorcycle was unveiled at “Capcom Cup 12,” the world tournament for “Street Fighter 6” held in March this year. 

As a special feature of the Tokyo Game Show booth, visitors can listen to the voice of “Juri” (voiced by actress Eri Kitamura) when sitting on the motorcycle. 

Like the Suzuki Carry, the Hayabusa is also available locally.

PH next? 

For fans of the Street Fighter franchise, finally getting a Filipino character in the form of Yasmine Delos Santos Bautista is already a win. 

With hype undoubtedly building around the character, it would make sense for Suzuki to build a motorcycle or an automobile inspired by the character. The question is, which Philippine market nameplate should they use? 

Maybe the Suzuki S-Presso? Or probably the Burgman Street?
