LAOCORN GAUDEAMUS
Voice Actors: Branden Loera (EN), Shin-ichiro Miki (JA)
Primary antagonist in the 1994 anime film Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture. Laocorn and his twin sister Sulia are direct descendants of Gaudeamus, a mighty warrior from antiquity. With his ever-loyal Triumvirate in tow, he relentlessly pursues the legendary Armor of Mars—intent on transcending humanity and ascending to godhood.
When he discovers the armor’s final piece is part of the prize for the KOF tournament, he enters the competition himself. But will claiming the armor bring him the power he craves—or a fate beyond his control?

FATAL FURY: THE MOTION PICTURE
Animated feature film based on SNK’s Fatal Fury fighting game franchise. Released in Japanese theaters on July 16, 1994, and English VHS in September 1995. Produced by Shochiku, Fuji Television, SNK, and Asatsu International, and distributed by Shochiku. Directed by Masami Obari, who served as character designer and chief animation director for the TV anime Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf and its sequel The New Battle.
The story depicts an intense conflict for the fabled Armor of Mars—an immensely powerful set of armor—between Terry Bogard (and his allies) and one Laocorn Gaudeamus, descendant of the mighty Gaudeamus clan. The Motion Picture weaves a tale distinct from the game’s normal plot, and features an iconic cast of brand-new characters—including the aforementioned Laocorn and his twin sister, Sulia.
Now, three decades after his memorable debut in film, Laocorn Gaudeamus descends on the City of the Wolves roster—still wielding godly power, and still pursuing the dreaded Armor of Mars.
