Description
Kim Kap Hwan from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters.

Kim is probably one of my all time favorite fighting game characters. When SNK first introduced him in Fatal Fury 2 he had such a fresh style compared to any of the Street Fighter archetypes showing up in the arcades. With his lighting fast kicks and awesome aerial attacks, Kim was an excellent opponent against anyone using a projectile character.

Having said that, Kim has also been one of the least altered characters in the SNK universe. Aside from some odd costume choices in MI 2, Kim hasn't really changed much since his initial debut. My goal was to modernize his look for current day styles, yet also keep his costume very logical for the amount of kicking and movement he has when fighting.

The outfit I designed for him takes into consideration the loose fitting Taekwondo Gi he had donned up until this point, but adds a bit of modern day athletic style to it.
