Story
Known as "The Southern Comet", Dee Jay is a cheerful kickboxer who fights to musical rhythm. Eventually, he becomes a music star, though he still has time to enter the second World Warrior tournament to find some new rhythm for his songs.
Appearance
Dee Jay's cheerfulness has him smiling constantly and he has a thumbs-up gesture. He wears orange loose drawstring pants with yellowish-white lettering that reads "MAXIMUM" and orange sparring gloves. His hairstyle is a braided mohawk with a letter "M" on each side of his head which stands for "MAXIMUM." Dee Jay is also seen in the anime movie and some art to be wearing a Caribbean chain necklace.
In other media
Dee Jay (like many other characters) made a small guest-appearance in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. Here he beats up a few punks causing trouble at a nightclub before being warned by Guile and Chun-Li that he is being spied on by Bison. In the 1994 live movie he was portrayed by Miguel A. Nunez Jr. Here he is one of the minions of M. Bison and appears to have an aptitude for working with computers (at one point near the ending he utters to himself "Oh, mon! I should have stayed at Microsoft"). Though competent he is portrayed as cowardly as he abandons Bison as he is giving a speech about accepting defeat. He and Sagat escape from Bison's base via a waterway located beneath the temple-base along with a case full of cash. To their disappointment they find the case is really full of worthless Bison Dollars, the currency which Bison intended to establish earlier in the film.
Trivia

- Dee Jay is the only character in the series to be designed by Capcom USA. He was designed by James Goddard, who modeled Dee Jay after martial arts film star Billy Blanks. Dee Jay's braided mohawk also resembles Blanks's role as Khan in The King of the Kickboxers.
- Dee Jay is one of the few Street Fighter characters not to be directly associated with or tied in to the official storyline. This is probably because Dee Jay is actually a replacement character, made to replace what was supposed to be a clone character of Fei Long in Super Street Fighter II.
- Dee Jay is the only Caribbean fighter in the Street Fighter series.
- Dee Jay might know Fei Long on a personal basis, due to their pre-fight intro in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX.
