Antonov

"Completely satisfied the viewers, and delivered a huge victory on top of that. That's why I'm the quintessential king!!"

- Antonov's win quote.

Antonov is one of the major characters in The King of Fighters video game series.

History
Antonov is a mysterious billionaire who while called himself as the "first champion", he bought the right to the King of Fighters brand to host a new tournament. After the tournament, he used his wealth to buy land to help Zarina protect her pet Coco after some coercion.

Antonov successfully defended his title, but his executive director Yakov told him that the public suspected that the entire tournament was a set-up. Members of the company's board of directors broke in and condemned Antonov's failure to maintain the reputation of the tournament; the rebound caused losses in the company's stock and mass media scandals.

They will arrange an emergency meeting tomorrow. Antonov decided to skip the night before.

Personality
Antonov appears to be an arrogant and cunning businessman, but he is in truth a respectful, brave man with a strong code of ethics and a good heart.
