This article is about the original Kung Fu Man. For his evil counterpart, go here. For his arch-nemesis and enemy, go here.
Kung Fu Man (often abbreviated to KFM) is the very first M.U.G.E.N character ever made and comes pre-installed with all versions of the M.U.G.E.N engine when downloaded from Elecbyte's website.
Kung Fu Man's story begins with himself and his girlfriend going for a walk. Sometime during this walk, they get ambushed by Suave Dude and his minions; of course, Kung Fu Man fends of Suave Dude's minions, though as he is preoccupied, Suave Dude captures Kung Fu Man's girlfriend and retreats back to his secret hideout. In order to get his girlfriend back, Kung Fu Man sets off for Suave Dude's hideout, letting nothing stand in his way (other than the fact that Elecbyte had yet to make the Suave Dude character).
Kung Fu Man was originally created by Elecbyte, the creators of M.U.G.E.N, but since then, there have been many edits for Kung Fu Man, giving him extra moves and abilities, including Kung Fu Fiunn, Kung Fu Bender, Kung Fu Master, King Fancy Man, Orochi Kung Fu Man and Kung Fu Head, as well as cheap versions.
Kung Fu Man's fighting style is somewhat similar to (and could have been inspired by) Yun from Street Fighter III.

Killer Kung Fu Man
Killer Kung Fu Man is an edit of Kung Fu Man made by Josh Geary. This version of Kung Fu Man is pretty cheap as he can kill most fighters pretty easy. He is based on Killer Donald and other Killer Edits. However, he is not as cheap as Killer Donald is.
Symbiote Kung Fu Man
Symbiote Kung Fu Man is a symbiote edit of Kung Fu Man made by Josh Geary, not the 1.0 Kung Fu Man. He only contains a symbiote voice & different pallete, with the gameplay being the same as regular kfm.
FantasyBladeHeaven's Killer KFM
FantasyBladeHeaven also made a Killer Kung Fu Man even before Josh Geary released his Killer KFM. He was first seen on a Youtube Video of him. How he did it with most of his Killer Edits he is exactly based on Killer Donald, making him only work for Winmugen. This Kung Fu Man is currently the Cheapest one around, this version of Killer KFM is (like all of FantasyBladeHeaven's Killer Edits) a spriteswap of Killer Donald. His theme is the boss theme of Sonic Spinball. Also Strangely Enough, This edit still has the Original Donald Portrait.
The Kung Fu Mens
The Kung Fu Mens is an edited version of Elecbyte's KFM in which when you start the round, 4 AI controlled KFM's will enter the stage to assist the player in the match. These extra KFM's are immune to damage and will continue to attack the enemy players until they are KO, to help the player compare themself from the clones, their skin colour is paler than your characters skin.
KFM Bonus Game
The KFM Bonus Game is a brawl match against three Kung Fu Man characters. The player has to KO the Kung Fu Man characters that appear while collecting gems of different sizes for 35 seconds, when time runs out, you will be shown your final score. The Kung Fu Man characters you battle are very similar to Elecbyte's Kung Fu Man part from a few edits such as the ability to shoot fireballs.
Cheap Kung Fu Man characters
Other edits on Kung Fu Man include cheap versions of himself. These edits on Kung Fu Man can have certain edits making them very hard opponents like most cheap characters do. Some abilities these Kung Fu Man characters have include:
- Regenerating health
- Auto-charge power bars
- Extreme movement
- Over the top damage and defence, etc.
Arpa KFM
Arpa's KFM is extremely close to the original, but with a few differences, blood hitsparks added to the chops along with a Zatsumei and suicide move, However, nobody knows if this version had been made before M.U.G.E.N 1.0, as the Kung Fu Zankou is absent in this version.
Related characters
There are several characters related to Kung Fu Man in one way or another and not one of them have received a build by anyone even claiming to be Elecbyte. They are:
- Kung Fu Man's Girlfriend
- The Evil Suave Dude
- The Evil Suave Dude's Minions
- Kung Fu Man's Evil Clone
- Kung Fu Girl
- Tu Shou
- Muay Thai Man - Kung Fu Man's distant relative from Thailand who uses Muay Thai moves
- Kan Cho Man - Kung Fu Man's perverted brother from Japan who uses 'kancho' (butt pokes) to defeat his enemies. (NSFW)
- Devil Kung Fu Man - Believed to be a dark, sinister apparition from Hell which takes the form of Kung Fu Man. Has the ability to infinitely clone himself during battle, and attacks with clones for repeated hit combos (as the clones repeat the player's moves). His final technique is calling 50+ clones off-screen and mobs the enemy in a frenzied rush.
- God Kung Fu Man - created by jjong1917, which is Zee KFM with KOFXI hitsparks and extra moves. Kung Fu Man has finally achieved Nirvana and becomes a divine being. Still, he returns to Earth to find Suave and send him to Hell himself. God Kung Fu Man can fly and float.
The first 4 are all mentioned in his story. The last one if you except this is a newcomer to the group derived from the victory quotes of the M.U.G.E.N. 1.0 version in which there are a few parodies of other games in this case he says "You must defeat Tu Shou to stand a chance." in reference to the Street Fighter win quote "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.". As a note although Sheng Long never became a character he likely inspired two and contributed significantly to the series.
