Tips

usage

街头霸王 overwhelmingly refers to the Capcom fighting game 《街头霸王》 (Street Fighter) in Chinese, not to the band Gorillaz. When referring to the band, Chinese music media often just write 'Gorillaz' in English or transliterate as 街头霸王乐队. Context - music vs video games - disambiguates.

culture

街头霸王 is the brainchild of Blur frontman Damon Albarn (戴蒙·奥尔本) and comic artist Jamie Hewlett (杰米·休利特). The four cartoon members - 2D, Murdoc, Noodle (a Japanese guitarist), Russel - are a rare case of an animated band becoming genuinely influential.
