The Kanji Characters Written on F.A.N.G's Back

The Kanji Characters Written on F.A.N.G's Back

F.A.N.G is one of the new characters in Street Fighter V, and today I'd like to talk about the kanji characters that are written on his back. We had plenty of ideas... Which one did we ultimately use...?

Mirrored Version Simply just a mirrored version of the kanji written on his chest. By the way, the character represents the number 2.


Easy to Understand Version Well, easy to understand if you can read it. The character reads "poison." Since he uses poison and all. ...Simple is best.


Slapped Together Version Both versions read as "Lohas." Actually, one of the original ideas for F.A.N.G was that he was born with the poison hands, but used a poison that was environmentally-friendly (...what the hey?).


Seven Dragons Version A design based on the "Seven Black Moons." Pretty cool, eh?


We had a lot of different ideas. Which one ultimately made it into the game? Please check it out for yourselves! You can get a look at it when he does his standing MP.




























...That's what I'd like to say, but honestly, there's nothing written on his back. While we were still putting designs together, we decided that nothing was the best option.
