Andy Bogard
}}
is a
video game character in both the
Fatal Fury and
King of Fighters series of
fighting games by
SNK Playmore. He is also
Terry Bogard's brother.
Fatal Fury
Andy practices the Shiranui-
ryuu ("style" in Japanese)
Ninjitsu and a form of empty-handed
ninja combat called
Koppouken, which he trained in after witnessing his foster father's murder in order to gain revenge on
Geese Howard.
Mai Shiranui is his fiancée (in her mind), and the granddaughter of Hanzo Shiranui, the man he learned Ninjitsu from.
During his time in
Japan, he met the
Muay Thai fighter
Joe Higashi, and challenged him to a match. When Andy won, he invited Joe to return to America with him to enter the
King of Fighters tournament, held by Geese.
Moments before Geese's permanent death, Andy tried to off Geese by himself. Geese's power proved to be too much for Andy as he almost fell to his death. Terry saved Andy, who finally acknowledged Terry as the better of the two brothers.
Andy's emotions prevented him from reaching the final round, but when
Terry defeated Geese, Andy felt a sense of closure and returned to Japan to continue his training.
Ever since Geese's death, the fall of the First Southtown, and the birth of Second Southtown, Andy has been busy training Hokutomaru through the ways of Shiranui-ryuu Ninjutsu and Koppouken. It's unknown whether he will return to The King of Fighters tournaments.
The King of Fighters
When the new
King of Fighters '94 tournament was announced, Andy joined Terry and Joe in the new 3-on-3 matches. Since then, Andy has always agreed to follow his brother Terry whenever he decided to enter the new version of the King of Fighters tournament.
*In Real Bout: Fatal Fury Special, an EX version of Andy is selectable, who explains that he is the dark shadow every Shiranui ninja has. Naturally, this leads Mai to wonder whether she has such a dark side.
*Currently, it suggest that training Hokutomaru is his excuse to hide from Mai as the SVC Chaos ending suggests, as many of them seem to be in continuity despite being a crossover.
