Andy Bogard

Andy Bogard is a video game character in both the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series by SNK. He is Terry Bogard's younger brother. His official nickname is The Human Weapon or Whole Body Weapon.

Personality
Andy is a quiet and rather stoic man who always sets his sights on improving himself. Although he is usually serious, he breaks form when confronted with things that make him uncomfortable -such as his height- and hides his embarrassment with boastful declarations, probably underlying his diffidence in a sense. Andy acts as the withdrawn and analytical observer amongst his friends. As far back as he can remember, He has never won any fight over his elder brother and seems to suffer from an inferiority complex because of it. He respects him yet feels that he has to one day overcome him. Despite this, both brothers are solid companions to the other, whether be in normal tasks, fighting or even travels.

In the Fatal Fury timeline, he is aware of Mai's interest, he just considers her to be more of a younger sister since he started training with Hanzo when he was very young and devoted his life to martial arts. Mai's luck is surely bad. However, in The King of Fighters timeline, he is in love with Mai, but rarely expresses it, as he personally feels that he is not yet mature enough to handle marriage and training at the same time. He seems perplexed by Mai's actions towards him but will do everything he can to protect her. Their relationship is usually used for comedic effect in the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. As the series progresses however, their relationship becomes more serious.

Fighting style

Trivia

 * Andy's Japanese speech patterns has changed a bit over the years. In his debut, he referred to Terry as "Ani-shaa" (兄貴)), the archaic version for the "big brother". Since Fatal Fury 3, however, he calls him the more common phrase for "older brother", "Nii-san" (さん). He also used to refer to himself as "boku" before using the more formal "watashi" and masculine "ore".
 * Andy is predominantly a diminutive version of the male given name Andrew, and variants of it such as Andreas and Andrei. Andrew is derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manlike" or "brave".
 * According to Terry's character album, he is well aware of Andy's desires to surpass him and recognizes him to be his greatest living rival. To counter his brother's effort, Terry constantly strives to improve himself by fighting stronger opponents.

 * Who would you like to fight the most? - "My brother."
 * Who would you like to team up with? / Who would you not like to team up with? - "The ones I team up with, is Joe and my brother. However, I feel sorry for Mai every year, so I would like to join with Mai once. Billy is the man who I don't want to team up with."
 * What is "KOF" for you? - "I think it's one of the lessons."
 * Finally, please give a word to your fans. - "Please refer carefully to the result of the lesson well."
