King is a very beautiful woman that hides her beauty under men clothes,
mainly for several reasons. First, when King was a little girl, she was sent to
Thailand in order to learn Muetai, with her baby brother, Jan. King, despite
being a woman, demostrated to be a skillful Muetai fighter, and could even face
the best of fighters. However, she could not fight in an official tournament
because she was a woman. King was very disappointed and at certain point, she
despised being a female herself. She also had to take care of her brother Jan.
However, the clever mind of King began to brew something in her mind.
In the next Thai Muetai tournament, all fighters were surprised by a
certain fighter who wore a shirt, and very short blond hair. They were even more
surprised when that person began advancing in the tournament, with his
impressive skills. The mysterious person quickly reached the final battle, where
he had to face the current champion. The fight was pretty even, but the man
named only "King" was getting the upper hand. In a rage burst, the champion took
hold of King's shirt, but King kicked him back. The force of the impact made the
champion tear King's shirt, and King's secret soon became evident to the crowd:
she was a woman. Everybody was dumbfounded. The organizers considered the final
invalid, and threw King away. The humilliated King traveled to the United
States, where she would begin a new life with her brother Jan.
King arrived at Southtown, a city with a lot of problems and crime due to
the reign of Geese Howard. King opened a bar in downtown, since she always liked
to drink. However, King hated her womanhood now more than ever, ever since that
incident back in the tournament. She now dressed elegantly as a man, and
received all her guests. One day, a man named Ryo Sakazaki broke into the bar.
He demanded information about his kidnapped sister, Yuri. King tells Ryo that
that isn't a way for man to barge in a bar, and if he wants information, he
would have to fight her. It had been awhile before she had fought, and wanted to
feel what it was to fight again. The fight was pretty even, but Ryo was
determined to find her sister, his only family left. He also wasn't aware that
King was a woman, so that's why he fought with more spirit than ever. However,
that incident once again became present. Ryo gathered inner spirit in his hands,
and threw a Koh-Ho-Ken towards King. This caused King to be blown away, her
shirt tearing apart. Ryo was then surprised when he noticed King trying to hide
her now exposed chest. But now, Ryo said he was sorry, and helped King up. No
man had ever treat King that way. Ever since, even though she refuses to accept
it, King always likes to see Ryo.
King then received one day a invitation to participate in the new King of
Fighters tournament, introducing the new team battle mode. Before she even knew
what to do with the invitation, the ninja girl, Mai Shiranui, and Ryo's sister,
Yuri, appeared to team up with her. Accepting anyway, the troublesome, but
beautiful trio entered the next two tournaments. By 1996, Yuri had to return to
her father's team, and King then received the visit of Kasumi Todoh to her bar.
King was friend of her father, Rhiyaku, so she accepted her in the team.
Although, she also had to worry about her sick brother Jan, but he managed to
recover thanks to King's effort. He decided to fight too, as much as her sister.
King was very excited by that. After that tournament, King liked to pass more
time with Jan, but King was then invited by the host of last year's tournament,
Chizuru, to participate with her in the tournament. She had also taken Jan with
her, so King had no worries. King is now ready to show her female power to the
world!
The battles have ended, and King once again returns to her bar and keep an
eye on things. Everything seemed to be easygoing, before the next invitation for
the 1999 King of Fighters tournament arrived. Things were looking pretty bleak,
after Mai decided to join Andy this time around, since the teams where to be of
four warriors this time around, and Chizuru had retreated to a peaceful life of
watching over the seal imposed on the Orochi power. Not the one to be left behind,
King seeks out two of her best friends in Southtown: Blue Mary and Kasumi. She is
also approached by Li Xiangfei, an enthusiastic (but very hungry) Chinese martial
artist. Once again, the most beautiful (and lethal) fighters would gather again,
and all who underestimates them will surely fall!
King is always very reserved, and does not like to act femine around
strange men. She also tries to even talk like a man, but her woman side is
always so evident due to her warm feelings. King likes to take some drinks, but
never gets drunk. King only feels safe when she is around Ryo, the only man
important for her. King also cares for her brother Jan very much, taking care of
his sickness. King is aided in her bar works by the twin maitress sisters, Sally
and Elizabeth.
*Fun fact = When King was defeated by a special move/DM, her shirt tore and her
bra was revealed. This happened in the first two AOF games, as well as the first
two KOF games. However, sometimes, there was some bugs where the bra sprite
seems to DISAPPEAR! Oh God! An involuntary nudity? Booooooooy! o_O
*Cloth changes = King wore an elegant suit in KOF '94/'95, and removed her
jacket for KOF '96/'97. In KOF '98, she wears some sort of white vest with
purple trims, and long sleeves.
