Marco Rodrigues

Khushnood Butt (クシュヌード・バット), named Marco Rodriguez (マルコ・ロドリゲス) in Japan, is a character in the Fatal Fury series of fighting games. He was first introduced in Garou: Mark of the Wolves. His role in the game is to substitute Ryo Sakazaki as the new Kyokugenryu Karate practitioner. His name was probably changed to avoid confusion with mixed martial artist Ricco Rodriguez. Since his introducion, Khushnood created a great fuzz, with several fans wanting SNK to use him in the King of Fighters series or in the next Garou. He was voiced by Hikaru Hanada.
