When the trailers were rolling out in 2020, fans were quick to point out Kim Kaphwan's absence. A staple of Fatal Fury and King Of Fighters since his inception, the Taekwondo master has always been a part of the mainline series. He now makes his return in SNK's latest trailer for the season 2 content.

Kim's looking a little bit different from his previous appearances. In King of Fighters XIV, his master Gang Il and lover Luong joined his team in place of his longtime partners, Choi Bounge and Chang Koehan, after the latter broke free and joined criminal Xanadu. Much to Kim's dismay, his overbearing mentor lingered around, hoping to reshape his training habits. The rigorous sessions seem to have taken a psychological toll on Kim, and he's looking for a way to get Luong and Gang Il away from him.

As a bonus, Kim comes with an extra costume, his signature white dobok is available for free. While there's no specific date, Kim Kaphwan is expected to drop sometime in the spring. King Of Fighters XV is currently available for the PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, the Epic Games Store, Windows, and Steam.
