Bao
(LAST UPDATE: 7/12/2011)
     

GENERAL/STORY:
Bao was an orphan, left by his parents in the care of a mountain temple in China. Chin Gentsai was asked by the head priest to adopt him, and agreed after Bao exhibited psycho power. Before Bao's power could get out of control, Chin decided it was necessary to train him. Bao soon met Chin's other students, Sie Kensou and Athena Asamiya, and soon formed a strong bond with them. During their training, Kensou and Bao gradually and mysteriously lost their powers. It is unknown how it happened, but Bao and Kensou continue to lose and gain their powers as the years progress, as both of them share the same source of energy: the Dragon Spirit. Bao has been absent from KOF after the 2001 tournament.

REVIEW:
The KOF series has seen it's fair share of "cool guys," so Bao is very much an oddball in the series. Although I don't think this little punk really belongs in a fighting game, I suppose he's good comic relief at the least. He actually has some memorable mannerisms and animations... and I suppose his design might appeal to some younger KOF fans? ...Who also might like Harry Potter, perhaps? lol.
