Specific Name and Visual Details

Specific Name: KOF ’98 UM Fatal Fury Team Andy Bogard

• Head and Face: The figure captures Andy’s serious and highly disciplined personality. He features long, flowing blonde hair brushed back behind his ears, framing a stern, focused facial expression that sharply contrasts with his older brother Terry’s laid-back demeanor.

• Upper Body Clothing: He is dressed in a customized sleeveless white martial arts gi (top). The gi is accented with a thick black trim along the V-neck collar and the shoulder openings. His waist is tightly bound with a wide black sash over-tied with a vibrant red belt/sash. His lower arms and hands are protected by striking red gauntlets/guards.

• Lower Body Clothing: He wears baggy white ninja pants that feature a very distinct, jagged red flame pattern wrapping around the bottom hems.

• Footwear and Wraps: Emphasizing his ninjutsu training, his shins and ankles are tightly bound with traditional black leg wraps (kyahan), leading down to a pair of simple black martial arts shoes with flat brown soles.

Historical Background (SNK IP & KOF ’98 UM)

• The Franchise: The King of Fighters is one of the most famous and enduring arcade fighting game franchises in history, created by SNK. KOF ’98 Ultimate Match is widely celebrated by the Fighting Game Community (FGC) as one of the best and most perfectly balanced entries in the entire series, acting as a massive “Dream Match” gathering of SNK’s best characters.

• Andy Bogard & The Fatal Fury Team: Andy is the younger brother of Terry Bogard. Following the murder of their adoptive father by the crime boss Geese Howard, Andy traveled to Japan to train under Hanzo Shiranui (the grandfather of Andy’s romantic interest, Mai Shiranui). There, he mastered the lethal martial art of Koppouken (bone-breaking fist) and Shiranui-ryuu ninjutsu. He consistently enters the KOF tournaments alongside his brother Terry and their friend Joe Higashi to form the formidable Fatal Fury Team. His fighting style relies on swift, precise strikes, agile flips, and energy projectiles like the Hishouken.
