Shingo Yabuki, A.K.A the goof ball of the King Of Fighters franchise, was originally designed to tone down a little bit the serious and dark mood of the game where he was first introduced, KOF 97. But unexpectedly, he ended up being loved so much by many of the fans, that he became a requiring character and an essential fighter within the KOF roster.

In this video, we'll expose everything we know about Shingo, and we'll know if he is just a comic foil to Kyo Kusanagi, or if there is more to him that we didn't know before.

    My favorite Shingo factoid is that he is the only character who doesn't get a sound effect when he activates his desperation move. He actually makes the sound effect himself with his voice.

    Shingo: not the character we wants... But the hero we needed.
  • @RafidW9
    honestly kof needs a good anime. This series is full of potential.
  • @mrjefferies90
    People say Shingo is nerfed but he actually is strong. Shingo kicks release is second to none for long range attacks
  • @SuperFusionAJ93
    Man really wish Shingo was in the background in smash. He would be jumping for joy seeing many video game icons battling it out.
  • @Hektols
    Shingo the Ascended Fan. If he forgot about flames and focused to create his own fighting style using the Kusanagi's as base other fighters would take him more seriously, his potential is inmense. With only one year of training he became able to compete in the KOF tournament, other fighters probably had to train for years.

    This goofball really needs to come back in KOF XV. The past 2 games felt something missing to lighten up the serious but cool swagger feel to it, TBH.
  • @princeoffriendship
    He might be seen as a goofball for some but as it well known a person who appears to be on one extreme, usually have an equal heavily opposite side. I remember his intro on 97 where he exhale anxiously before any match and trys to believe in himself. I see him as a man who has a purpose and fights to prove that he is capable!

    The boy is back baby. Shingo is in KOF XV.

    I would love to see a story on Billy Kane! The fact that he's so devoted to Geese and looks after his sister under Geese's rule was so interesting to me~

    My journey into adulthood has been growing up believing I'm Rock Howard only to realize I'm actually Shingo Yabuki. For now.
  • @OrpheuAqueronte
    He is also part of the special Teen Team: Kensou, Chris, Shingo. He is also voiced by KONO DIO DA!
  • @softwet6393
    My friend: Shingo is just a copycat of Kyo Me: Shingo kicks him
  • @MaxxD86
    I hope Shingo is playable in KOF15
