He wanted fans to pay close attention to his new animations. For The King of Fighters XIII, the producer Masaaki Kukineo mentions that the team were pursuing a more "cooler" version of K' where he now keeps his sunglasses on during the fight. This caused the supervising designer to panic after realizing this. K' would later receive a slight redesign on his hair due to the protagonist of Garou: Mark of the Wolves looking just like K'. C.A.C Yamasaki predicted that K' would be popular on his release, however this prediction never came true, in an interview he comments that K' was "a little too plain." ![]() During the early phases of development of The King of Fighters '99, K′'s introduction to the series was meant to remove popular characters Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami from the roster, though this idea was later scrapped. His namesake was taken from a clone character in the light novel Blue Knight Berserga Monogatari ( 青 ( あお )の 騎士 ( きし )ベルゼルガ 物語 ( ものがたり )), which is set in the same universe as the anime series Armored Trooper Votoms. The idea of K' wearing shades was taken by another Fallen Angel character named Haiji Mibu. The end result is that K′s oufit looks nearly identical to Cool. The man responsible for the design of both characters, Shin'ichi Morioka, migrated to SNK shortly after The Fallen Angels was released, and elements of Cool and Harry Ness' design were used in the creation of K′ and Maxima. ![]() This obscure 1998 release stars an emaciated goth in tight leather pants named Cool, along with a brawny, cybernetically enhanced US Marine named Harry Ness. The inspiration for the appearance of K' and Maxima can be found in the Psikyo arcade game The Fallen Angels ( 堕落 ( だらく ) 天使 ( てんし ) in Japan).
