Protagonists (Heroes)
Kyle Travers
Voiced by: note
Kyle Travers is the main character of Final Fight: Streetwise and brother to Cody from the first Final Fight. He fights as an underground pit fighter in Metro City with Cody as his trainer. When Cody is kidnapped, Kyle goes on a one-man search party to find him and those that abducted him.
- Author Avatar: To a degree, seeing as he's voiced by artist Trent Kaniuga, who helped develop Streetwise.
- Batter Up!: His signature weapon in arcade mode of Streetwise
- Badass Normal: Defeats not only ninjas but also punks who were empowered by "GLOW", a drug that makes them insanely superhuman and more deadly, and he beats them all, including his brother.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: He took out all superpowered thugs that drugged them with GLOW.
- Composite Character: Can acquire attacks from Cody, Guy, and Haggar throughout story mode.
- Deadpan Snarker: With the crap he has to deal with throughout the game, he could be even snarkier.
- Genius Bruiser: He's a college grad, look at the degree on top of the shelf in his apartment that says "College".
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Smokes when he's annoyed.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He doesn't even try to be nice in the extroverted sense most of the time, but whether he's forced or he's doing what he needs to protect his friends, family, and his Hood, he ends up doing the right thing.
- Narrator: Of Streetwise.
- Perma-Stubble: Throughout Streetwise, he sports a five o'clock shadow.
- Police Are Useless: Hates the police, even though his girlfriend's brother is one.
- Remember the New Guy?: Guy doesn't, everyone else seems to. Then again, as Haggar says, back then he was just "a skinny-legged punk" and remarks how Kyle might not remember him.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: It's not a smart idea to threaten or kidnap his brother, or to be associated with whoever did.

Pestilence
Pestilence is the third of Father Bella's Four Horsemen that Kyle faces in Little Italy. Unlike the other horsemen, Pestilence does not seem to have been originally human.

Initially, Pestilence fights very slowly by spilling acidic GLOW, throwing one of its many limbs and firing out explosive GLOW bubbles at Kyle. Kyle defeats Pestilence the first time, but the creature changes its form into a slimmer, more humanlike form. In this form, Pestilence uses fighting combos, energy blasts and grabbing church pews to use as weapons against Kyle.
- Bishōnen Line: Its second form is not much of an improvement, but it is an improvement.

He can also eat GLOW-induced rats to regain life.
Kyle faces the second Death on the roof of Father Bella's church.

Father Bella
Father Bella is the mastermind of the GLOW outbreak in Metro City. He forced Dr. Chang to make GLOW in an attempt to take over the city and become its "savior", cleansing it of all sinners. He also held a personal vendetta against Cody. With the services of Stiff, Blades and Weasel, Bella spread GLOW throughout the city and planned to have mob boss Vito Bracca take the blame.
When Kyle faces Death, Bella, first stands on the sidelines, but after he's defeated once, Bella becomes more daring in the second round. As Death attacks, Bella stands a safe distance away, using a bazooka, grenades and a machine gun against Kyle while Death also attacks Kyle.

Underground Fighters
Minor Fighters
Three of the pit fighters Kyle fights in Final Fight: Streetwise are Handsome Bob, the Locksmith and the Ghost. Handsome Bob, who is not really that handsome, is Kyle's first opponent who, when knocked down, gets up with a rising hook punch. The Locksmith is a black guy who is only slightly quicker than Handsome Bob and has a Flash Kick that can combo into an unblockable forward kick. The Ghost may just well be Joe from Street Fighter, but they really don't say in the game. He is a Muay Thai fighter under Vito Bracca who is a very quick fighter.
- Extremity Extremist: Ghost, who has one elbow strike and kicks for the rest of the attacks.
- Fragile Speedster: Ghost.
- Jack of All Stats: Handsome Bob and the Locksmith.
- Shout-Out: Ghost looks like Joe from the first Street Fighter while Locksmith uses Guile's Flash Kick.
- Warmup Boss: Handsome Bob.
Lou "The Skin"
Lou is a tattoo artist in Metro City who has a number of tattoos and piercings. He's a member of Guy's crew who uses capoeira as his fighting style. While Kyle was searching for his brother Cody, he finds a picture of Cody's with a mobster with a tattoo. He asks the Skin about it in his parlor, who unexpectedly clocks Kyle over the head with a cash register. The tattoo is revealed to belong to Guy. After some misunderstandings, Lou fights Kyle using his acrobatic fighting style and loads of kicks. Kyle defeats him and Lou becomes a pit fighter, Kyle can face in Japantown.
- Extremity Extremist: As the Capoeira master that he is, he's limited to kicking in his fighting style.
- Odd Friendship: With Guy.
- Shout-Out: His handstand taunt and maybe his fighting style in general are this to Elena in Street Fighter III.
- Sir Swearsalot: In the game he's in, that's saying something.
Cammy
The final pit fighter in the game, Cammy takes a break from working for Delta Red to kick some ass in Metro City's Japantown district. Why is never explained, but it's not that important. Cammy uses many of her command and special moves from her Street Fighter appearances. Probably one of the more frustrating characters to fight in the entire series.
- Fragile Speedster: Hits hard AND fast.
- Kick Chick: It wouldn't be Cammy without her fighting this way.
