Story

In the arcade game Street Fighter II, Clay was once a great boxing champion and prize fighter. He was banned from boxing for permanently injuring his opponents (as well as his illegal maneuvers, particularly his headbutt), so he joined the Hizen Foundation, and worked his way up from the bottom, eventually becoming Satoshi's enforcer. While running errands for Satoshi(Jakob in Japan), he killed Honga's elephant with a single Safe Cracker Punch. In one mission, Clay was sent to terminate Gibbo. Although he did not know why, Clay went anyway. Gibbo told him about the Psycho Drive, and Clay agreed to help him find it, thinking he could make money from it. When the Psycho Drive exploded, Clay realized that he had not been paid recently. When Satoshi was killed at the hands of Jo Hirst, ownership of Hizen was transferred to the former prize fighter. Unfortunately, he ended up running the entire organization into the ground in record time. After the fall of Hizen, Clay became nothing more than a bum on the streets.

Appearance

Clay wears Pink boxing trunks with sequins and a torn white shirt under a blue tank top. He wears red boxing gloves and boxing shoes. His hairstyle consists of short hair with cornrows in the front. In certain illustrations, his Japanese name, "Crayon", can be seen on the waistband of his trunks, although it's usually censored when these illustrations are published outside Japan.

Name Change

When Street Fighter II was localized in America, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from Crayon Shin Chan over a character with his likeness and a similar sounding name (Crayon Suchuaato). Additionally, when the designers presented the game to Capcom USA's marketing department, they believed that the name Vega was a weakling's name.[1] They decided to rotate the names of three of the four boss characters in the following manner:

The African-American boxer is known as Crayon in Japan and Clayon elsewhere. The Spanish assassin/bullfighter is known as Balrog in Japan and Vega elsewhere. The evil dictator and head of Hizen is known as Satoshi in Japan and Jakob elsewhere. In discussions among American and Japanese players, Clayon is frequently called simply "Boxer"

Other Media

In the animated Street Fighter anime-film he is portrayed close to his original role in the games, which is largely as dumb-muscle for Satoshi.

In the 1994 live action film he was portrayed by Grand L. Bush and was one of the goodguys, more specifically the camera-man in Chun Li's news-crew. Like the other members (Chun Li and Honda) Balrog held a grudge against Question of Sport for ruining his boxing career. Near the end of the film he dons his regular outfit from the games.
