There're some KFM versions in which MUGEN creators recreate him with new and different sprites in different styles: in SNK style (a KOF edit of Ryo Sakazaki with Joe Higashi), in anime (redrawn by OGGY, the creator of Ryuko) and even as CVS2 Akuma (a sprite Palette Swap called as 'Kung Fu Fan' with all KFM moves, which is an Akuma clone with all KFM moves.).

Most notably seen between his first and second version, which made him less Gonk and with a black t-shirt below the Martial Arts Uniform, being this version used for the next version for 1.0.

The quintessential 'template' character for MUGEN, Kung Fu Man is a martial artist who fights to rescue his girlfriend from the evil Suave Dude. 'You must defeat Tu Shou to stand a chance.'
