The diligent and determined taekwondo fighter Kim Jae Hoon returns to the Fatal Fury franchise more than 25 years after his debut. Boasting polished yet powerful kicks modeled after the masterful taekwondo of his father, Kim Kaphwan, the young Jae Hoon relies on speed and fiery strings of offense to overwhelm his opponents.

About Kim Jae Hoon

• Voice Actors: Howard Wang (EN), Shunichi Toki (JA)
• Bio: Kim Jae Hoon is a taekwondo specialist and son of Kim Kaphwan, who, through careful observation and diligent training, inherited his father’s flawless technique—and fiery crusade for justice. Yet the contrast between that no-nonsense offense and the whimsical stylings of his older brother, Dong Hwan, creates a shadowy specter of doubt: How should he really fight? How can he keep up with them both? Fueled by burning questions of self-worth and a burning desire to punish all manner of evil in South Town, Jae Hoon sets his sights on one place: the infamous King of Fighters tournament.
