Duck King (ダック・キング, Dakku Kingu?) is a character from both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. He appears as a playable character in Fatal Fury Special and King of Fighters XI, and makes a cameo appearance as a striker (a character that hops on-screen to perform a one-time attack) in King of Fighters 2000.
A South Town native, Duck King grew up in an impoverished family in the city’s ghetto. It was in this poor district where he would take interest in fighting and even a greater interest in music and, even more so, dance. He spent a great deal of time with breakdancing and the B-boy culture so much so that it became a part of his life. Duck King began to go to frequent nightclubs as his dancing skills vastly improved. His overwhelming and thrilling antics on the dance floor worked its way into a fighting style of Duck King’s own design.
Using his fighting style to confuse other fighters in the ghetto’s West Subway, Duck King started to create a reputation with the fighters in South Town. When news of Geese Howard’s King of Fighters tournament broke, an excited Duck King jumped at the chance to enter. While being an odds on favorite, Duck King was manhandled by the Lonely Wolves (consisting of Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi), more specifically, Terry (as Duck King hates his Rising Tackle).
After his loss, Duck King went back to the ghetto to develop his fighting style to flow with the rhythm of battle. Around this time he met up with the bouncer, King and the two pulled together enough money to start a massive bar in South Town called "Illusions." Here King’s King of Fighters tournament matches were hosted with Duck King acting as the DJ for the bar. During the events of Fatal Fury 3 and Real Bout Fatal Fury, Duck was invited to Richard Meyer’s new night club, the Pao Pao Café 2. The grand opening was spoiled by the Jin twins Chonrei and Chonshu who wrecked the café.
They sought the Jin Scrolls which were stolen from them. These scrolls eventually end up in the hands of Geese Howard, who was once thought dead. As the Bogard brothers, Joe Higashi, and other allies banded together to stop Geese, Duck King unexpectedly joins the fight. When Geese dies in battle with Terry, Duck King parties at the rebuilt Pao Pao Café 2 taking a much needed rest from fighting.
During King of Fighters XI, he is part of the "Fatal Fury" team composed of Terry Bogard and Kim Kaphwan. He is invited by Terry; but it took him, Choi, and Chang to convince Kim to join the team.

Richard Meyer (リチャード・マイヤー, Richādo Maiyā?) is a character from the Fatal Fury series. Originally from Brazil, Richard is a Capoeira master who used his skills to entertain the nightclub crowds. In fact, he is the first fighting game character to use Capoeira.
While he had fun entertaining the masses and loved the recognition for it, he felt he had to move on. Moving to the United States, Richard made his home in South Town. It was here he opened the Pao Pao Café, a nightclub reminiscent to those of his native Brazil. Unlike the bars in South Town, Richard would not tolerate any discord caused by criminals and thugs in his club, literally kicking them out if they do.
When Geese Howard held the King of Fighters tournament, Richard entered to promote the Pao Pao Café. While he accomplished this goal and beat several fighters in the process, he was beaten by the Lonely Wolves (the Bogard brothers, Terry and Andy, and Muay Thai champ Joe Higashi). Richard was a good sport about losing and the Pao Pao Café became South Town’s ideal nightclub spot.
The club also became a hot spot among fighters where they can spar against one another or just hang out. This was evident when another King of Fighters tournament was held by Wolfgang Krauser and all the fights were shown live in the café. The profits from that venture were so high, combine with the club’s ongoing popularity, that Richard had enough money to build a second Pao Pao Café in South Town.
During the grand opening of Pao Pao Café 2, with his Capoeira student, Bob Wilson, acting as the manager, the place was wrecked by the Jin twins, Chonshu and Chonrei. As Bob went after the Jin twins for what they had done, Richard stayed to rebuild the second Pao Pao. After he rebuilds the club, he gives it to Bob, who Richard felt was worthy of full ownership because of his impressive skills.
Richard has now devoted his time to entreating the masses and garnering attention for both Pao Pao Cafés. He has made many friends in the fighting community ever since. While Bob usually does the fighting, Richard will throw down once more if challenged.

Michael Max (マイケル・マックス, Maikeru Makkusu?) is a character from the Fatal Fury series. Born in the slums, Michael Max became a talented heavyweight boxer. He attempted to be the greatest in the sport, but corrupted his own career when he was enticed with money and women. Falling from grace and into misery, Michael headed to South Town and using his hatred and frustration for the situation to fuel him and his constant battling of Southown thugs, Michael constantly trained to recapture what he had. He entered the King of Fighters tournament held by Geese Howard believing his powerful fists and grueling training will help him win. Sadly, all his training was rendered sub par by the Lonely Wolves (Terry Bogard, his brother Andy and Muay Thai champ Joe Higashi) and he was easily beaten.

Hwa Jai (ホア・ジャイ, Hoa Jai?) is a character from the Fatal Fury series. Hwa Jai is a mighty Muay Thai fighter who resided in the callous Thailand jungle since birth. There he trained for most of his life to survive the jungle’s various dangers and to become a hero to his countrymen. While he was one of Thailand’s best fighters, Hwa Jai would never become world champion.
In various Muay Thai tournaments, he was bested by the overconfident yet superiorly trained, Joe Higashi. The two became fierce rivals with Joe always being the victor. This prompted Hwa Jai to start cheating by drinking a strange fluid that boosted his physical attributes exponentially. Worrying he would have been found out, Hwa Jai moved to South Town, where many fighters reside and none would care about him using the drink.
Entering Geese Howard’s King of Fighters tournament, Hwa Jai sought his vengeance against Joe. He faced off against his arrogant nemesis once more resulting in, despite his training and his drink’s power boost, Joe coming out the winner.
Shamed, Hwa Jai returned to the Thai jungle once more. Hwa Jai now lives a normal life training Muay Thai to those who, like he previously, strive to be the best. Eventually Hwa Jai’s rivalry with Joe ended with the two being sparring partners, and even friends, after Joe avenges him from Wolfgang Krauser, who left Hwa Jai in the hospital before the second tournament

Raiden (ライデン, Raiden?) is a character from the Fatal Fury series. He originally appeared in the first Fatal Fury (and its 3D remake, Wild Ambitions) as a large character wearing a blue wrestling suit and mask with a yellow lightning bolt down its center. In Fatal Fury 2, he appears in a black wrestling suit and is unmasked.
In that form he assumes the persona of Big Bear, and bears a strong physical resemblance to real-life wrestler Big Van Vader. The Big Bear (ビッグ・ベア, Biggu Bea?) persona is mainly used when he plays himself off as a fan favorite whereas the Raiden persona is mostly used if he plays himself off as a hated villain. Raiden hails from Alice Springs, Australia, and is one of Geese Howard's henchmen, despite his friendship with Geese's enemy Terry Bogard. Raiden has recently been confirmed to be in King of Fighters XII.
