Redundant for me to write all of that and I believe BonusKun A full, robust and excellent review on the original release can be found Taking your time to read my short review on the conversion of Garou: Mark of the Wolves for the venerable SEGA Dreamcast. Coincidentally, he shares a technique written with the characters that literally translate to "Dragon Fang" with Robert Garcia, though both are rendered in romaji differently Robert's version is "Ryuuga", while Gato's version is "Tatsu Kiba" and are both completely different techniques (both are even anti-air-based moves).Of the Wolves for the SEGA Dreamcast, by Rade Kuruc.SNK then decided that Gato would be voiced by Kōji Ishii, similarly to Ryuji Yamazaki. Since Retsu is voiced by Kunihiko Yasui, who is known to SNK fans as the voice for Iori Yagami, the developers decided to hire a different voice actor who could mimic the same menacing tone for Gato. He is visually based on Retsu Kaioh from the Baki the Grappler manga series.The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match - background in Team Art of Fighting stage, until third round.The King of Fighters '94 Rebout - background in Team Japan stage.Days of Memories (ninth title) - non-playable.Kiss of Poison - The King of Fighters XI.Fullmoon: A Groan - Garou: Mark of the Wolves.This technique, along with his aforementioned Tenryuu Retsuga made Gato stand out due to both moves being able to decrease his opponent's guard gauge by a significant amount if blocked, allowing Gato to make use of punishing guard pressure to make up for both of these taxing moves being guarded against. While a majority of his attacks have a "fang"-naming motif, one of his techniques is the Mouko Kohazan (Fierce Tiger Stiff Mountain-Climb), a common technique in Chinese martial arts and used in other video games with such techniques portrayed.

In Garou, Gato was able to cancel his said Fuuga, by quickly inputting his Kouga followup as fast as possible with strict timing, allowing him to feint and build meter at the same time.

Gameplay-wise, Gato is a type of "flying-variable" character, with his unique Fuuga (Wind Fang) sending him into the air for various types of followups, with his KOF-exclusive Ura Fuuga (Reverse Wind Fang) adding to it. He also has a variation on the Senshippo used by both Tung Fu Rue and Sie Kensou, known as the Totsuga (Thrust Fang). The core of his techniques involve palm-based attacks that have versatile usage, especially via his standing C, Shinga (Quake Fang), Kouga (Pit Fang), Shunga (Blink Fang KOF only), Zero Kiba (Zero Fang) and Tenryuu Retsuga (Heaven Dragon Violent Fang). He also knows styles like Bajiquan, Xinyiliuhequan and others.
