With
the belief that a fighting
game boss "must be easy to
understand," we adopted the
"ability to fossilize" to
give impact to Mukai's presence.
We then matched the design
of this character to this
ability. So as far as the
procedure of development
is concerned, Mukai was quite
an unorthodox creation.
The concept and design came
off without a hitch, but
arriving at his name was
a difficult process. If you
write his name in Chinese
characters, his name would
be"  ", or something like
that, but the moment we decided
to represent it in Japanese
katakana, his name became
rather plain, the kind of
putz you'd find living next
door. The reaction of people
to this name was: "Huh?"
or something similar along
that line.
He's among the first of the
KOF series boss characters
who would be graced with
the Japanese honorific of
"-san."
