Kim was originally named "Haifon Kim" but that idea was later dropped because it was not a valid Korean name. He has also received comments from video games publications, which praised his development in the SNK games, but criticized his absence in KOF: Maximum Impact. However, Kim's character has been well received by gamers, who commonly vote for him in popularity polls developed by video games journals and websites. He also appears in the Fatal Fury animated films and comics adaptations from the video games.Īlthough appearing in every mainline entry of The King of Fighters franchise (one of only eight characters to do so), Kim was actually a last-minute entry in the franchise's first game and he was passed over for the first KOF: Maximum Impact game due to complaints from designers. He is also a regular character from The King of Fighters, in which he is the leader of the Korea Team and spends time trying to rehabilitate his two team mates, Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge, out from their criminal lives.
Since Kim was young and during his taekwondo training sessions, he was always reminded to fight for justice and use the martial art as a way to accomplish this. In the series, Kim is a master of taekwondo and also considers himself a fighter for justice. Kim is first introduced in Fatal Fury 2 as a playable character. He is credited as the first ever fictional Korean character to appear in a fighting game.
