“Evil is unforgivable! You two make me so proud.”

Korea’s finest taekwondo master, Kim Kaphwan, joins the fight.

 

Kim Kaphwan, Korea’s finest taekwondo master, debuted in FATAL FURY 2 (1992). Convinced that taekwondo is the world’s strongest martial art, he fights sinister forces with a fierce sense of justice and an undying belief that “evil is unforgivable.” This strength of character, coupled with his tremendous taekwondo skill, has made him a beloved series mainstay for decades. Even then, never has he been playable in the same game as sons Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon—until now.

 

 

KIM KAPHWAN

Voice Actors: June Yoon (EN), Kunihiro Kawamoto (JA)

 

A legendary taekwondo fighter whose feats inspire Kim Dong Hwan and Kim Jae Hoon to this day. Though widely lauded as a master of his martial art, his drive never fades; indeed, even now he trains tirelessly in pursuit of greater strength. His justice-fueled kicks, undeniable and unforgiving, strike down evil without a moment’s hesitation.

 

 

 

New stories in Arcade Mode and EOST (Episodes of South Town)

 

EOST (solo RPG mode):

Back in South Town after a long absence, Kim visits Tizoc—who has helped guide his sons Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon in the interim. As the three Kims spend time alone together, the young taekwondo fighters (who have now come into their own) reveal long-held feelings to their father. Family bonds and personal convictions intertwine in this charming episode.

 

Arcade:

Kim Kaphwan pursues his own daily training as passionately as he teaches and raises his own sons. The veteran now returns to KOF to prove his strength and convictions in battle.
