His fighting technique specializes in shooting techniques and electricity. Even though he tends to be more than a flighty flirt, when it comes to certain things (along with seeming as if he has an indecisive mind), Benimaru in fact has a heart of gold, his loyalty and respect can go a long way and even behind the American exterior he still holds close the Japanese personality traits. He also respects ladies, as shown with a special introduction pose before engaging in battle with a female opponent. He also likes to say English quotes upon winning a battle. īenimaru, while sometimes outspoken and flamboyant, means business in battle since he's very proud of his skills and doesn't want anyone to look down on him for his good looks. His vocal performance was initially deemed by his original designer to have nothing to do with the character's original image. Additionally, his taunt in The King of Fighters XI mirrors Polnareff's stature from the manga. Even after Benimaru's name was decided on, the game developers continued to refer to him as Polnareff. He was loosely based on the character Polnareff from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, right down to his outfit in The King of Fighters '94 and The King of Fighters '95. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 and Capcom vs. His straight hair during fights stays up due to a rather exaggerated case of electrostatics. His top is plain black (with short sleeves from '98 to 2002), until it changes to a leopard spot motif in The King of Fighters 2003 and beyond. In his later appearances, his top is shorter, exposing his abs. Benimaru is born of half-Japanese and American descent, and wears a waist-length sleeveless top with matching jeans/pants. He forms his own team dubbed the "Benimaru Team" in 2000. Template:Nihongo debuted as one of the members of the "Japan Team" during the Orochi Saga (also composed with Kyo Kusanagi and Goro Daimon).

Several characters that appear in the series are parodies or homages to either anime, manga, actors, films or television shows that the creators are interested in. Later in the series, their approach to creating their characters altered slightly to also serve as a type of fan service, which he refers to as a collaborative effort between fans and the staff.
For example, he agreed to include characters such as Benimaru and Chang to add an off-beat variety to the cast, which he previously deemed to be too serious before. He adds that every original character for the series is added based on the developers' strong desire to make one. The newer KoF characters -especially for the first game- were aimed to appeal to younger and newer audiences. įlagship director, Toyohisa Tanabe, asserts that the Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury fighters were added specifically for adults.
Characters from Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier games were also added in spirit of other gaming genres considered for their final product. Since they were attached to the idea of the two series cross-over, they eventually agreed to make their idea into a fighting game.
However, the idea was scrapped after the debut of Capcom's game with similar gameplay, Final Fight. In this version, it would only use core characters from the Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury series, specifically allowing players to play Robert Garcia and Terry Bogard for location testing. In an interview with veteran developers, they say that their prototype version for KOF was going to be a side-scrolling beat 'em up titled, Survivor.
