The character himself is a parody of Rambo/Rambo from the Vietnam War movies. Originally, the development team wanted to include grenade-throwing killstreaks for him and Clark, but for some reason they didn't. 

CLARK Clark (from Wrath)? The character is also based on the 2P character from the SNK shooter action game "Rage". Most of his throwing techniques are stolen from the Golden Meatman manga, but he also uses Keiji Muto's favorite technique, "Shining Wizard". The character itself is set to be a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger/Arnold Schwarzenegger

ATHENA ASAMIYA (from Super Soldier)? The character was originally set to be the heroine of the SNK action game "Psycho Soldier", and was used in 1P. Princess Athena, who appeared in the SNK action game "ATHENA", is the ancestor of Athena Asamiya.  

SIE KENSOU Shiken Sho (from Psycho Soldier) Like Athena, the character was originally set up as the male protagonist of the SNK action game Psycho Soldier, but was used in the 2P role. The basic look of the character is modern civilian clothes, but in XII, like Athena, he changes back to the green Chinese dress and kung fu shoes of the Psycho Soldier era (with a few subtle changes). (With a few minor modifications.) She has always been a "flyer, aerialist, and attacker", but in 99, she lost her superpowers and added a lot of punching techniques to her arsenal. Instead, he became the strongest character in the game due to the Dragon Combo and the problem of infinite combinations of Arrow Blast Steps learned from Tang Hulu; he became even stronger without his superpowers. 

CHIN GENTSAI Zhen Yuan Zhai (original) character styling was originally set to the Hong Kong film "Drunken Fist", played by Yuen Siu Tin "Su Huazi"

King is a true "Lily", and he is the man of his dreams.

KING KYO (from Fist of the Dragon and Tiger)

HEAVY D! The character's name is derived from the American rapper "Heavy D! Heavy D! (Original) The character name comes from a long time ago when American rapper "Heavy D!" was depressed because he hadn't fought for a long time, but after receiving a letter of invitation from KOF, he decided to join KOF again and decided to make a three-member team to get back his old friend Lucky and current rugby player Brian. KOF97 was seeded before the tournament, but for some reason, the "New Face Team" led by Shichigakusha stole the hospitality certificate, and once again, KOF98 even added the must-hit technique "Shadow" to strengthen the performance of the must-hit technique once again (98um even added the must-hit technique "Shadow" to strengthen the performance of the must-hit technique once again). (98um even added a limited time to strengthen all the must-have skills of the super must-have skills "D Shadow")

LUCKY GLAUBER LUCKY GLAUBER (original) character prototype for Bruce Lee's last participation in the shooting of the film "Game of Death", and Bruce Lee had a sparring role in the black basketball player "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar". Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a black basketball player who played against Bruce Lee in the movie "Game of Death", is a basketball player, but his profile states that his best sport is "baseball".  

BRIAN BATTLER Brian Butler (original)

KIM KIM KA-PAN (from Legend of the Hungry Wolves) The character was originally named after a different name, but was scolded by KIM Kap-hwan, the president of the game maker Viccom (now Uno Technology), who said, "It's not possible for a Korean to have that kind of a name," so SNK took the name with permission from Mr. Kim Kap-hwan. As a result, SNK named the taekwondo character "Kim Kap Jong" with Mr. Kim Kap Hwan's permission. However, the many settings in the KOF series made him appear as a "hypocrite", and in order to avoid affecting the image of the president, from KOF2003 onwards, he was officially referred to only as "キム". Kinkajou's representative move is the "Phoenix Kick", a chaotic dance that starts with a sudden advance, hits the opponent with a round of kicks, and ends with a Swallow Chop, which is as well known as the "Dragon and Tiger Chaos Dance", a chaotic dance move of the Ultimate Stream School in the same factory. In "Real Bout Legend of the Hungry Wolf Special", a large phoenix flies out at the end of the dance, but this effect was not used again for a long time. (

In addition, the family and taekwondo disciples of Kim Jae-hyuk are across SNK(P)'s many works. In addition to Jang Ju-han, Choi In-wife, Lee Pearl, and fellow disciple Jeon Hoon, the two sons of Kim Jae-hyuk, "Kim Dong-hyuk" and "Kim Jae-hoon" in "Garou - Mark of The wolwes" and "Kim Jae-hoon" in "KOFMI", Tsai Lin, and also "KOFMI", the two sons of Kim Jae-hoon. In addition to Choi Lin, the new protagonist of "Super Tag Battle", Kim Soo Il, and the ancestor of "Squire's Soul Flash", Kim Jae Hoon, are also featured in the KOFMI series. Headliner", which is a huge step up from Hungry Wolf/KOF, and even more so, they're all equipped with Phoenix Kicks.

GEESE HOWARD Gise Howard (from Legend of the Hungry Wolf)? Although Legend of the Hungry Wolf is definitively dead, he is alive and well in the KOF series featuring Kyo Kusanagi and others, often finding trouble with Terry and others in the Hungry Wolves stories, and he has a beef with Lukal. However, in the KOFMI series, the gang that ruled the southern town was Duke, the leader of the Mephistopheles.

WOLFGANG KRAUSER Wolfgang Krauser (from the Legend of the Hungry Wolves) is a poor character in KOF96, and has been described as "unable to defeat the prone Zhen Yuan Zhai". The weak corner. However, 12 years later (98um), it was greatly strengthened and added a number of practical must-hit techniques, and became one of the strongest characters in 98um.

SHINGO YABUKI Yabuki Shingo (original) character name pinch him for the Japanese star "Katori Shingo". The character's appearance, moves, etc. is also similar to Kusanagi, but because of the story set Shingo does not have the ability of the Kusanagi family, so all the moves are all without the balance of the fire, the total number of moves is also less. Shingo's student manual is filled with descriptions of moves taught to him by Kusanagi Kyo, and he reads it during the fight. 02um's MAX2 includes a scene where Shingo stops to read his student manual in the middle of a move that he forgot. I don't know if it's because KOF97 was too weak, but 98 immediately added two new moves for Shingo, so Shingo doesn't become a lower ranked character. (Though neither is too strong.)

However, the author of the manga, Katsuyo Otomo, was angered by this and protested to SNK many times. The similarity between the two is shown here. In the face of the immense pressure given by Mr. Otomo, even SNKP couldn't hold out and had to put K9999 into hiding, so K9999 had no hope of ever appearing on the scene, and was replaced by NAMELESS in 02um.
