Terry Bogard (テリー・ボガード) is a
video game
character created by
SNK, and is the main character of the
Fatal Fury series. For a short time, he was also the mascot of SNK. He
is often pictured either in his "traditional costume" or his "Garou
costume", the former consisting of a red and white ball-cap, a red
sleeveless jacket with a white star on the back, white shirt, and blue
jeans, and the latter consisting of a brown jacket with a white star on
the back, as well as a white shirt and blue jeans.
Terry Bogard is the brother of Andy Bogard, and is often referred to as
the Legendary Hungry Wolf (from Garou Densetsu, meaning "Legend
of the Hungry Wolf"). He has a pet monkey named Ukee (who was the previous
mascot of SNK before Terry). His voice is provided by
Satoshi Hashimoto in the various video games he has appeared in.
Background
Terry Bogard hails from the fictitious town of South Town,
USA (a setting for many SNK games), the son of Jeff Bogard. During
childhood, he saw his father killed at the hands of Geese Howard. On the
advice of mentor Tung Fu Rue, he chose to pursue his revenge at a later
time. Unlike his brother, he chose to stay in South Town, learning the
unique South Town style of street fighting, as well as the Hakkyokusaiken
style taught to him from time to time.
Some time later, the crime lord Geese Howard organized a tournament,
The King of Fighters, that would eventually see Geese ultimately
defeated and thrown off the top of Geese Tower, a tall tower in South
Town. For a while, it was thought that Geese was dead. The next year saw
Geese's half-brother, Wolfgang Krauser, take control of The King of
Fighters, which ended up with Terry being ultimately defeated by
Krauser, only to win in a rematch.
When it was found out that Geese had survived the fall, Terry learned
of Geese's intentions to retrieve the legendary Jin scrolls, Terry had to
go and defeat him once again. In a rematch of what had happened the
previous time Terry and Geese had battled, Terry knocked Geese off the
edge of Geese Tower, but Terry held his hand and tried to keep Geese from
falling. That was not to be as Geese let go of Terry, plummetting to his
apparent death.
Since then, Terry has made amends by raising Geese's son, Rock, as his
own.
Terry is known to have a street-smart personality and leading an
otherwise carefree life. His fighting skills are depicted as
near-invincible, losing matches when either time runs out or he loses his
cool. His trademark poses often involve throwing his hat or tossing his
jacket.
