Mike Haggar (マイク・ハガー, Maiku Hagā), also known mononymously as Haggar, is a character in the Street Fighter shared universe, mainly playable in the Final Fight and Saturday Night Slam Masters series of video games. Haggar first appeared in the 1989 Capcom arcade game Final Fight and re-appeared in various other video game appearances. He was created by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, introduced due to the need for a "big guy" in Final Fight. Inspiration was taken from various sources, such as Les Misérables, Mad Bull 34, and Streets of Fire. He was also included in the realistic Final Fight Streetwise, where how his design should be handled was debated due to the realistic style. In the Final Fight series, he is a former wrestler turned mayor who does battle against the Mad Gear gang after they kidnap his daughter.
