Shingo Yabuki - a character from SNK ,
The King of Fighters series. He made his debut in
The King of Fighters '97.
Fighting Style
He replicates several of Kyo kusanagi moves without flames. He isn't perfect though, as he always takes out his handbook if he seems to forget a move, He also "messes up" certain moves.
Essentially he is a SNK version of dan hibiki , sakura kasugano & sean matsuda but in
the king of fighters games ,
He's joke character like dan but follows & idolizes
Kyo kusanagi like sean matsuda does ken masters,
& high school kid like sakura kasugano .
Skills
Indomitable Spirit - Shingo is highly optimistic he will overcome inadequacy through hard work. However, because he isn't a member of the Kusanagi bloodline, he does not have the ability to intentionally create fire out of thin air. Despite knowing he lacks the ability to create his own flames, he continues training & sees Kyo as his inspiration to improve, with very few things able to douse his spirits.
Quick Hand - Shingo can quickly jot down notes of any ability he sees.
Quick Recall - Shingo is able to quickly re-perform techniques he's seen only once by referring to his notebook. Through constant training, he starts to rely less on his notebook & begin memorizing techniques internally.
Shingo Yabuki -
The creators of the series explain that Shingo is designed to be the comic foil to KOF main character Kyo Kusanagi. While Kyo was a hero, Shingo is meant to be a "simple & plain, everyday guy".
