Characters of the Fatal Fury series
Wikimedia list article
The following is a list of video game characters featured in the Fatal Fury fighting game series developed by SNK.
Creation and design
Series' creator Takashi Nishiyama stated that giving the characters depth was of great importance when making the series. He noted that the first Fatal Fury featured a more polished plot and more fleshed out characters than that of his previous work, the original Street Fighter, which led to the game gaining a strong fanbase. To help market the games, certain character details were revealed in magazine promotions rather than the games themselves.
Character appearances
The table below summarizes every single fighter in the series. A green cell indicates that the character is playable, while a red cell indicates that the character is not playable or does not appear.

Andy Bogard (アンディー・ボガード, Andī Bogādo) is Terry Bogard's younger brother. After his foster father Jeff's death, Andy goes to Japan to train under Hanzo Shiranui, from whom he learns Shiranui-ryū ("Shiranui style" in Japanese) Ninjutsu and a form of empty-handed ninja combat called Koppō-ken. During this time, he grows up alongside Hanzo's granddaughter Mai, who falls madly in love with him and begins proclaiming him her fiancé. While in Japan, Andy meets Muay Thai fighter Joe Higashi, inviting him to return with him to the United States and enter Geese Howard's King of Fighters tournament.
Late in the tournament, Andy tried to kill Geese by himself, but Geese overpowers him and Andy nearly falls to his death.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Characters of the Fatal Fury series” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17188632. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
