Kim Kapwhan from Fatal Fury and KOF

Kim Kapwhan is one of the characters and minor protagonists in the Fatal Fury and King of Fightings games by SNK. 

Kim debuted in Fatal Fury 2 (1992) and returned in all Fatal Fury games up to Fatal Fury Real Bout 2 (1998). Kim Kapwhan also became a mainstay in the King of Fighters series from the first game in 1994 where he debuted as the leader of the Korea Team. He returned in almost all later KOF games and including the latest game of the series, The King of Fighters XIV (2016). To the big surprise of many fans, he did not make it into the main roster of The King of Fighters XV (2022) and was not announced or leaked to be in its first season pass as well. 

Kim Kapwhan is Korean and a Taekwondo Champion who was personally invited by the holder of the second King of Fighters Tournament in Fatal Fury 2, Wolfgang Krauser. In the King of Fighters games, he represents his country but also uses the tournaments as training for himself and criminals he tries to convince that justice is the better choice in life…

He has two sons that are both playable in Garou: Mark of the Wolves (1999).
