Blanka's first appearance in the Street Fighter series was in Street Fighter II. His prototypical name was "Hamablanka". Blanka was originally going to look more like a caveman and there are rumors that the design for King Rasta Mon from Saturday Night Slam Masters was one of the early Blanka character models. However, the design was changed to make him look more beastly. In later games in the Street Fighter II series, Capcom made him look more ferocious because they thought he was too "cuddly".

In his Street Fighter II ending, he reunites with his mother who recognizes him from the anklets he wears. She reveals that Blanka was once known as Jimmy, before he was in a plane crash as a little boy. Ever since the crash, she had been separated from her son.

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, his character design was again changed to make him look less ferocious-looking. His in-game story, just like the in-game stories of the other characters in the series, serves as a precursor to the events of Street Fighter II. The game tells a tale of how Blanka hitched a ride on a poacher's truck and traveled to civilization for the first time. Playing the game as Blanka, the player eventually faces Dan Hibiki as one of Blanka's mid-bosses. It is then revealed through in-game dialogue that the two know each other and that Blanka had once saved Dan's life. Blanka faces Zangief as his second mid-boss and unwittingly prevents Zangief from helping to destroy the Shadaloo criminal organization. He then faces Shadaloo member M. Bison before facing Vega. After Vega is defeated, Blanka, Dan and Sakura work together and destroy Vega's psycho drive weapon.

Although Blanka's appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3 was his last appearance in the Street Fighter series, he made appearances in several spin-off titles. In the non-canon Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Blanka appears in the ending of another green-skinned powerhouse, The Incredible Hulk. In the ending, The Hulk theorizes that gamma radiation caused Blanka's mutations, as they did his.

Blanka is available as a playable character in the later games of the Street Fighter EX series, Street Fighter EX 2 and Street Fighter EX 3. He also made appearances as a playable character in Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2. According to his ending in Capcom vs. SNK 2, he thought he was flown home, but when he got off the plane, he ends up in a zoo instead.
