Martial Arts Master

Terry Bogard

After the death of his father and world-class fighter Jeff Bogard, Terry left his birthplace of Southtown to travel alone and train himself in martial arts. He armed himself with the skills of martial arts, combined with the fighting style passed down to him by his father Jeff, the one master whom all once recognized to be the strongest. Traveling through various places, Terry gained experience by street fighting, eventually establishing his own powerful fighting style. Now, finally, he has returned to defeat his old enemy Geese, like a hungry wolf hunting its prey.

A Lethal Weapon, Master of Koppou

Andy Bogard

Andy is Terry Bogard's brother. Andy and Terry were raised together by Jeff. Andy has always suffered from his small build, and ultimately he was never able to surpass his brother. He, too, left Southtown to travel alone and train his fighting skills. One day, he was defeated by a mysterious Japanese martial artist of an even smaller stature than he himself. Andy then began training under the old man, learning the Japanese martial art of Koppou. Needless to say, he still burns with the desire to defeat Geese and avenge the death of his father. However, he also looks forward to the day when he can face off against his brother Terry in a battle to the finish. Just who will come on top in their final showdown...?

But the status and fame that he received for being the youngest champion in his class were not enough to satisfy him. At the risk of being excommunicated from the Muay-Thai organization, Joe seeks out a different kind of fighting tournament that will present him with stronger opponents. Will his talent be the cause of his demise?
