2026 "Capcom Full Support for Volleyball" Character Group Illustration

■ Introducing the Characters!

We present illustrations that fuse "volleyball's athletic characteristics" with "character personalities." Please also see the comments from our production staff who worked on each illustration.

Dante from "Devil May Cry"

Official HP: CAPCOM: Devil May Cry Series

We had Dante wear the uniform in a cool way that suits him. The collar is perfectly popped up~ (Development Member N)

Edmond Honda from "Street Fighter 6"

Official HP: STREET FIGHTER 6 | CAPCOM

I struggled with how to depict him as big, muscular, and Honda-like, but in the end, I finished it with a powerful feel that suits Honda. (Harukomori)

Juri from "Street Fighter 6"

Official HP: STREET FIGHTER 6 | CAPCOM

I expressed her pose and expression with the aim of bringing out Juri's characteristic provocative atmosphere. (Harukomori)

Leon from "Resident Evil Village"

Official HP: Resident Evil Village | CAPCOM

As the oldest member of this group, I focused on a stable presence. I hope you enjoy the differences in bone structure and thickness compared to Grace. (Development Member T)

Grace from "Resident Evil Village"

Official HP: Resident Evil Village | CAPCOM

I aimed for a composed impression as an analyst, but I hope you can also feel her characteristic charm. (Development Member T)

Rudy from "Monster Hunter Stories 3: The Dragons of Fate"

Official HP: Monster Hunter Stories 3: The Dragons of Fate | CAPCOM

It was a character I enjoyed drawing, and I'm glad I was in charge of it. Thank you! (Harukomori)

Diana from "Pragmata"

Official HP: PRAGMATA Official Website | CAPCOM

I was thinking about innocence, about being childlike, and so on while drawing. I hope Diana's cuteness comes across even a little. (Harukomori)
