Description
Name: N/AOrigin: Hawaii
Fighting style: Kapu Kuʻialua
Design notes: I was inspired by a documentary about this old Hawaiian martial art, it's an interesting piece of history that doesn't seem to have made it into any fighting game (none I can think of, anyway). I tried as best I could to keep his design faithful to a traditional Hawaiian warrior style.

Awesome design. There are not a lot of Polynesians in fighting games

Thanks. One of the ambitions with this project was to represent at least some cultures or fighting styles not often seen in fighting games.

You make a great point about not having any traditional Hawaiian warriors coming out in games today.

For a sec i thought he was Maori; this is a very cool character; love the tats. Very intimidating.

well he definitely has a Maori Moko on his face and Hawaiian Tats coming down his chest. But the character looks great!

Looks cool. Must be better than E. Honda and his sumo wrestling.

Cool tattoos and hairdo! Also a never-before seen (to my knowledge) character-type in fighting games so that makes him very original! I would've perhaps given him pants, but I understand that you wanted to make him look traditional.

It seemed appropriate for this kind of design.

私はこのCharacterを選ぼう！Kapu Kuʻialuaってどういう意味？カポエラ？？
アベルっぽい投げ技と打撃を使いそうだね。顔が良い！
jiggehさんは本当に足を男も女もかっこよく描くね！

関係ない！日本語ならカプ・クイアルアって、ハワイの伝統格闘技だ！ドキュメンタリーを見てから気になってハワイのキャラを作りたくなった。
本当は武器なども使う格闘技だが、ゲームの為にはこの人を投げキャラにしようと思う＾＾
足の描く自信はまだあまりないよ！wwというか、描けても毎回悩んでる

It's always nice to find unique martial arts that isn't necessarily common.
I've actually found a few myself if you're interested.
