Kim Kaphwan | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Ever the evangelist, Kim welcomed the opportunity to show the world justice and the King of Fighters was the perfect opportunity for international display! The problem was how to show everyone justice, especially when Kim lacked the teammates to enter. It then dawned upon him after hearing of the escape of two famous Korean criminals... Kim would reform the pair of prisoners to show the world justice! (read bio)

Chang Koehan | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Originally jailed for the damage of private and public property, Chang broke free from prison by breaking down the brick walls using his sheer strength and brute force alone. However, his freedom was short lived as he ran into Kim Kapwhan who forcefully convinced Chang to join him in his quest for justice. Now paired with Choi Bounge, the two secretly plot how to rid themselves of Kim. (read bio)

Choi Bounge | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
A butcher in a small Korean town, Choi has always been fascinated by sharp and shiny objects. One of his favorite past times was to run around, cutting people with his home made claws. This hobby led him to be locked up in prison by the Korean police. Unwillingly recruited by Kim Kaphwan in his quest, Choi is forced to follow the self proclaimed champion of justice until he is fully reformed. (read bio)

May Lee | 01 |
The belief of justice burns deep within her heart of May Lee, one of the most outstanding students in the Tae Kwon Do discipline. Inspired by the actions of her idols, Kim Kaphwan and Jhun Hoon, May Lee has managed to create an interesting blend between the styles of her two masters. May Lee is able to change between two different fighting styles using the Kamae Henka, Normal Mode and Hero Mode. (read bio)
