Duck King

Duck King (ダック・キング, Dakku Kingu) is a character from both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. He appears as a playable character in Fatal Fury Special and King of Fighters XI, and makes a cameo appearance as a striker (a character that hops on-screen to perform a one-time attack) in King of Fighters 2000.

Story
A Southtown native, Duck King grew up in an impoverished family in the city’s ghetto. It was in this poor district where he would take interest in fighting and even a greater interest in music and, even more so, dance. He spent a great deal of time with breakdancing and the B-boy culture so much so that it became a part of his life. Duck King began to go to frequent nightclubs as his dancing skills vastly improved. His overwhelming and thrilling antics on the dance floor worked its way into a fighting style of Duck King’s own design. Using his fighting style to confuse other fighters in the ghetto’s West Subway, Duck King started to create a reputation with the fighters in Southtown. When news of Geese Howard’s King of Fighters tournament broke, an excited Duck King jumped at the chance to enter. While being an odds on favorite, Duck King was manhandled by the Lonely Wolves (consisting of Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi), more specifically, Terry (as Duck King hates his Rising Tackle).



After his loss, Duck King went back to the ghetto to develop his fighting style to flow with the rhythm of battle. Around this time he met up with the bouncer, King and the two pulled together enough money to start a massive bar in Southtown called "Illusions." Here King’s King of Fighters tournament matches were hosted with Duck King acting as the DJ for the bar. During the events of Fatal Fury 3 and Real Bout Fatal Fury, Duck was invited to Richard Meyer’s new night club, the Pao Pao Café 2. The grand opening was spoiled by the Jin twins Chonrei and Chonshu who wrecked the café. They sought the Jin Scrolls which were stolen from them. These scrolls eventually end up in the hands of Geese Howard, who was once thought dead. As the Bogard brothers, Joe Higashi, and other allies banded together to stop Geese, Duck King unexpectedly joins the fight. When Geese dies in battle with Terry, Duck King parties at the rebuilt Pao Pao Café 2 taking a much needed rest from fighting.

During King of Fighters XI, he is part of the "Fatal Fury" team composed of Terry Bogard and Kim Kaphwan. He is invited by Terry; but it took him, Choi, and Chang to convince Kim to join the team.
