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!
