Heavy D!
From SNK Wiki
Heavy D! (ヘビィ・D!, Hebī Dī!) is a character who first appeared in The King of Fighters '94 as the leader to the American Sports Team. He was added to the series in spirit of other boxing characters popular at the time and gained his tall stature to separate himself from the rest of the cast. He is named after the leader of the hip hop group, Heavy D & the Boyz. He is voiced by Toshikazu Nishimura.

[edit] Story
Heavy D! was once a famous boxer, but was expelled from normal competition due to seriously injuring a fighter during battle. He, Lucky Glauber, and Brian Battler received an invitation to the KOF '94 tournament, and formed the American Sports Team (originally known in The King of Fighters '94 as the U.S.A. Team).
Like his teammates, Heavy D!'s invitation is unluckily snatched by opposing teams in this series and other games as a running gag.
[edit] Personality
Heavy D! is very cheerful outside of battle, but when fighting, he is serious and never disrespects anyone. He also appears to be good friends with Duck King and Ryuhaku Todoh as he is seen hanging with them during his free time.
