Who is Kim Kaphwan?

Character Evolution Whatever Kim does, he strives for excellence and righteousness, whether it'd be fighting or his personal life. He is a loving husband and father, and a very strict disciplinarian. He is highly respected and admired by other people for his honesty and bravery, and has many friends amongst the characters in both King of Fighters and Fatal Fury. Unfortunately, he can't really handle his liquor very well, as shown in his team's ending for The King of Fighters XI. Above all of Kim's defining characteristics is his strong, inherent sense of justice. He can always tell if someone is evil or not at a glance. As such, Kim has a special opening pose whenever he fights against an evil character, someone influenced by Orochi or any other sinister power. In this pose, he glares menacingly at the evil opponent, slowly raises his hand and points at the opponent, saying "Aku wa yurusan..." ("Evil is unforgivable...") "Hah!" before jumping into his fighting stance.
