Andy Bogard

Andy practices the Shiranui-ryuu ("style" in Japanese) Ninjutsu and a form of empty-handed ninja combat called Koppouken, which he trained in after witnessing his foster father's murder in order to gain revenge on [Geese Howard](https://anilist.co/character/14773/Howard-Geese). [Mai Shiranui](https://anilist.co/character/8873/Shiranui-Mai) is his fiancée (in her mind), and the granddaughter of Hanzo Shiranui, the man he learned Ninjitsu from. It was after his foster father Jeff's death that [Tung Fu Rue](https://anilist.co/character/77927/Fu-Rue-Tung) took responsibility for raising himself and [Terry](https://anilist.co/character/6819/Bogard-Terry). Andy went to Japan to train under Hanzo and grew up alongside Mai, while Terry stayed in South Town. During Andy's time in Japan, he met the Muay Thai fighter [Joe Higashi](https://anilist.co/character/2370/Higashi-Joe), and challenged him to a match. When Andy won, he invited Joe to return to America with him to enter the King of Fighters tournament, held by Geese. Before this, Andy had rarely, if ever, seen Terry in the interim since Jeff's death.
