A newly drawn illustration of Mr. Karate by SNK illustrator NAYUTA has also been released.

The true identity of Mr. Karate in Fatal Fury: CotW is Robert Garcia, who is completely familiar to SNK fighting game fans.
With his characteristic Kansai dialect, numerous techniques such as “Gen’ei Kyaku,” and the fact that his Japanese voice cast is Go Shinomiya, who is the same as Robert, it was completely obvious at the PV stage to those who know Robert, but it is impossible not to be surprised by it being revealed so boldly.
Let’s burn the image of Robert, or rather, Mr. Karate, into our eyes.
