The movie version of "King of Fighters" is an action film with English dialogue, focusing on the male protagonist "Kyoko Soren" (played by Sean Faris). Two other popular male characters from the original work, "Yashin An" (played by Will Yun Lee) and "Terry" (played by David Leitch), also have prominent roles. Maggie Q, as "Nakoruru", will appear as the leading lady. Other female characters include "Chizuru Kotoha" (played by Fanghua Ye), "Bison" (played by Bikini Liao), and "Mature" (played by Monica Ganderton). Ray Park, who played the masked character "Snake Eyes" in this summer's blockbuster "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra", will play a key figure - the organizer of the KOF tournament, "R" Luqar Bernstein.
