As a non-playable secret character in the first game, Hongou had a naturally cool aura about him. He had a pretty cool costume too. However, in the sequel, Hongou pretty much turned into the token Native American fighter archetype (with a little samurai mixed in). Overall, they could've made him into a better design. The best part of his Bushido Blade 2 appearance is probably that he uses tomahawks as his sub-weapon (in BB2). Personally, I think his BB1 appearance was cooler... and they probably shouldn't have changed the design so much.
