He was voiced by Hikaru Hanada.
History[]
Garou: Mark of the Wolves[]
Marco Rodrigues is a Brazilian Kyokugen-style karate expert who trained under Ryo Sakazaki. When he became a black belt, he opened a dojo in his homeplace and started teaching Kyokugenryu Karate. To prove the might of the martial art, Khushnood entered the "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" tournament. When he returned, he learned that all of his best students got beaten up by the "Gym Buster". Hearing that, he now seeks revenge.
Marco lead a somewhat austere life in a wooded area on the outskirts of town, and fights using powerful, deliberate attacks. Many of his victory quotes sound insightful and philosophical, just as serious as his training and demeanor. Marco was a green belt at the time of The King of Fighters XI.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves[]
Marco's hot-blooded nature has earned him a reputation for being a beast in battle. With his dojo sign stolen by forces unknown, he has no choice but to hone his karate skills elsewhere in the interim-namely at Yuri Sakazaki's fitness club. Upon learning of a new KOF tournament on the horizon, Marco steels himself for what lies ahead: an opportunity to spread word about his beloved dojo, a chance to get its sign back, and (of course) a turbulent test of his Kyokugen Karate might.
