Mr. Big was part of what was probably the most overpowered team (at least canon-wise) in "King of Fighters" history: the 96 Boss Team, composed of him, Geese Howard and Wolfgang Krauser, the three bosses of SNK's other modern day fighting franchises. Although the team made only one appearance, and only Geese and Mr. Big have been back in the last SNKP games: Neogeo Battle Coliseum and King of Fighters XI (only as secret characters in console versions), it is still one of the most fondly remembered teams in "KOF" history.

History

Art of Fighting

Mr. Big has been involved with the mob for as long as he can remember. He made it big in Southtown, a city as seedy and corrupt as he is. Rather than pay tribute to Geese Howard, boss of all organized crime in town, Mr. Big joined Geese's organization, and quickly rose to become his right-hand man.

While Geese was out of town on business, he left Big in charge. Big secretly feared Takuma Sakazaki, the master of Kyokugenryu Karate, so he ordered the kidnapping of Takuma's daughter, Yuri, and threatened Takuma into working for him. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia fought their way through Southtown's crime to find both of them, beating Big senseless to rescue Yuri and Takuma. King worked as a bouncer at one of Mr. Big's establishments.

The King of Fighters

In 1996, Geese brought Mr. Big and Wolfgang Krauser to "The King of Fighters", and revealed that he was after the Orochi power following the tournament's dramatic conclusion. Enraged, Mr. Big had a sniper take a shot at Geese, but the plan failed, and Mr. Big bailed out. Big has not been seen since; he may have escaped Southtown when the Zero Cannon fired on it in 2000.
