Rashid is the first Middle-Eastern character to appear in the main games; Pullum Purna was the first ever Middle-Eastern character appearing in Street Fighter EX.

Rashid is joining the cast as a brand new character with Necali, who was announced in July. Rainbow Mika, who was recently announced at PAX Prime in August, was the latest character added to Street Fighter V.

An official trailer for the character should be up soon.
