Shadaloo

Shadaloo, also known as Shadowloo, is a fictional multinational criminal syndicate in Capcom's Street Fighter video game series. It is depicted as a highly organized empire engaged in drug trafficking, arms dealing, extortion, and political manipulation, with the aim of global domination. The organization relies on Psycho Power, a psychic energy harnessed by its operatives, to empower fighters, weapons, and experiments.

A core executive group, often referred to as the Four Heavenly Kings, includes M. Bison along with prominent enforcers such as Balrog, Vega, and Sagat; the exact roster varies across installments. Shadaloo operates through front companies, covert cells, and a network of bases around the world. Its activities reportedly include recruitment and brainwashing of fighters, illegal arms trade, and scientific experiments to augment Psycho Power.

In the games and related media, Shadaloo serves as the primary antagonist force encountered by many protagonists, including Ryu and Chun-Li. Its portrayal ranges from a ruthless criminal syndicate to a quasi-religious organization focused on the pursuit of psychic power and world influence. Across multiple titles and adaptations, Shadaloo is consistently presented as a shadowy, technologically adept power structure seeking to manipulate global events through violence and control of psycho-energetic abilities.
