Dr. Makishima in one of the series' mahuas.
Dr. Makishima (巻島博士, Makishima-hakase) is an unseen character in The King of Fighters series. He's a scientist who once worked for NESTS, but has since defected from the syndicate, and has been pursued and even kidnapped by other syndicates for his talents ever since. Although he's portrayed as a young female scientist for one of the series' manhua, he is really an old and "shriveled" man.
Story[]
Dr. Makishima is the man responsible for transforming Maxima into a cyborg, dubbing the cyborg's codename from his own family name but in an anglicized form. Makishima is also responsible for creating the Kyo Kusanagi clones. In The King of Fighters: Another Day, K' and Maxima were searching for the doctor so they can find the last Kyo clone and destroy him. In KOF: Maximum Impact 2, he is one of the scientists kidnapped by Addes, for they need him to repair Maxima's failing nuclear core, otherwise known as his heart.
