Leona is Brazilian.

[@JasonTodd2304]

What is the music name of japanese characters are shown pls tell me..., in the beginning of the video.

[@helsiclife]

Shen Woo is Chinese. He's from Shanghai. Orochi is obviously Japanese. He's a god in Japanese mythology. I think Rugal and his kids are German. And Foxy is Venezuelan .

[@KOF-Family]

Hey thanks for watching and commenting 🙏 Shen was raised in Shanghai but we don't know for sure where he was born. The legend of the spirit of Orochi appeared in Japan but on the official database the character Orochi doesn't have a birthplace. Also there are not official origins of Rugal, his kids and Foxy.. Why Venezuelan? I'm interested in that! 😊

[@runman624]

Rugal isn't German, you're thinking of Krauser Because of rugal's last name, people theories that he's Norwegian

[@thenightmare7490]

I'm interested too, Why is Foxy Venezuelan? (I am so... Why? ._.)

[@poison6084]

[@helsiclife]

@@thenightmare7490 I don't know her story, but in her official profile, it says she is from Venezuela. I guess NESTS agents come from different parts of the world. Angel is Mexican and Krizalid Irish.

[@konan8609]

Interestingly, Angel is Mexican because SNK lost a bet with a Mexican video game company haha, Even so, he made a great team with the powerful Ramón, Tizoc and angel uff ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠)⁠ ᕗ

[@liliwhite3784]

I think Luong is from Vietnam. And Leona is Brazilian because in the story, heidern found Leona in a small village in Brazil and adopted her, and goenitz is her possible father.

[@tommyers9152]

Leona' s father is called Gaidel. Goenitz talks about It in kof 96 and 97.

[@TheCynicalOptimist]

Goenitz is her father? Goenitz triggered Leona's madness and thus kill her entire family including her father.

[@justinhillenburg9286]

Luong is indeed from Vietnam.

Yeah, as a brazilian I got a little sad not seing Leona in Brazil time.

[@gexianhen]

well since heidern adopted her she got the nacionality i suposse

[@Coldsofft]

@@gexianhen Despite not being made official, seeing her story becomes a fact that she is Brazilian.

[@Coldsofft]

@@gexianhen Here in Brazil, the "Kofeiros" take seriously the fact that she is Brazilian. I don't think so, after all it's like that for me too

[@cruzdesangre2850]

Wouldn't it be possible for her to be hispanic? Leona means "female lion" in Spanish, while in Portuguese it's "Leoa". She could be from Spain or a Latin American country.

[@ianleather5699]

I'm pretty sure Takuma being born in Japan is right, but his kids were probably born in south town, and were definitely raised there. K9999's new identity being Krohnen McDougal could just be a fake name, but considering Krizalid was from ireland, Krohnen being Scottish is possible. Darli's birthplace is definitely unknown, all we know is that she was raised in madigascar. Rugal Bernstein's last name is very likely german, and while it's a stretch, Heidern kinda gives me german vibes as well. Lastly, Leona is very likely Brazilian, since a lot of Japanese people moved to Brazil (such as Leona's father when he was on the run from the orochi clan), and Heidern's base is in brazil. Great video!

[@KOF-Family]

I love your comment! Great thoughts and dedication to the fandom! Thank you so much for watching!

[@P.V.3606]

So you’re right about the very likely possibility of K49 being Scottish due to McDougall, and I’ve sorta thought of the same things as you when it comes to Rugal, Heidern and Leona, Takuma is in fact from Japan, but it is also true that Ryo was only raised in America, not born there, as he was born in Japan. I’m unsure about Yuri, though- And as she’s younger than Ryo, there is a chance she may have been born in America.

[@omc79gaming]

There's a big problem with this. SNK only lists birthplaces. A nationality is something different and heritage is yet another. Only in a few cases, the "SNK's" have made annotations about nationality and or heritage, like Benimaru being half American, or Shen Woo being raised in Shanghai or Xiangfei being effectively American even though she has Chinese heritage. Anything else that can't be proven with official stuff (i.e. the nationality of all the Sakazakis, Robert and Richard Myer being American because they reside in South Town, which is in the US) is just crazy fan theories that should not be spread any further.

[@davidsousa972]
