Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
|
Nakoruru is a playable character from the Samurai Shodown fighting games by SNK. Nakoruru debuted in the first game, Samurai Shodown in 1993 and returned in all sequels and spinoffs and was also a guest character in the King of Fighters ’95 on the Game Boy. Nakoruru was also featured as a secret character in Capcom vs SNK (2000) and returned in Capcom vs. SNK 2 (2001) as a playable character from the start. She was also chosen for NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (2005) an SNK only crossover fighting game. Her latest appearance in a Samurai Shodown game was Samurai Shodown Sen in 2009. She is also a character in The Rhythm of Fighters (2014) and joined KOF in The King of Fighters XIV (2016) as part of the Another World Team. It looks like Nakoruru will also return in The King of Fighters XV as a DLC character if a leak turns out to be true. Nakoruru is a Japanese young girl who participates in the Samurai Shodown at the age of 15 already, she uses a small-sword as well as her pet-eagle Mamahaha which supports her in battle and can carry her. |

Nakoruru is one of the more popular female fighting game characters by SNK and I am sure that she found a lot more fans thanks to her being in KOF XIV. It was still a surprise that she got claimed so fast for our VG Character DB Art Collaboration.
Nash, aka Sphelon8565 learned about her in a much older crossover fighting game, the great Capcom vs. SNK where she was one of the unlockable secret characters that were not from Street Fighter or KOF. I am glad that he drew her eagle Mamahaha as well for this illustration!
