Isn't Mr. Karate Takuma?
If he isn't, then is he evil?
Cause he looks evil in the SvC intro video.

Mr. Karate is Takuma. He doesn't look evil, it's just that he wears a mask of Tengu [a japanese demon from mountains]. He wears it again in some KOF intro before the fights. He's a hidden Boss in AoF 1 (Ending of AoF1 where you can see him).

He's Takuma.
In aof, he was brainwashed or being forced to be a criminal by Mr. Big or something.

[quote(Ending of AoF1 where you can see him). Is this girl Yuri??!!. She's definitely changed, hasn't she? I had already seen her in AOF1, but I've just been playing KOF 2k1 recently and then I come here and see this... It's quite a "shock".

Takuma and Mr Karate are the same person, yes, but to me it always sorta felt like Takuma had somewhat of a split personality disorder... He seems completely different when wearing the mask (unless I'm mistaken, he acts like a complete loony in some KOF endings). Or maybe it's just because he looks so crazy when wearing it...

Takuma has no split personality disorder. He's just a jerk. The tengu mask really annoys/upsets Yuri and Ryo because of the whole Mr. Karate incident in AOF 1 (where he was either brainwashed or being blackmailed by Mr. Big, depending on the version you play) so he wears it to get on their nerves.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! we'll find out when he takes the lie detector test won't we?

I didn't think that is supposed to be Mr. Karate in Pocket Fighter doing that....you know, what with him not being a Capcom character and all. In any case, it is all part of the Dan is a joke on AoF thing.

The tengu-masked character who appears in a number of Hibiki Dan's "Pocket Fighter" attack sequences is his father, Hibiki Gou. Since Dan is a parody of Ryo and Robert, his father is a parody of Mr. Karate. There were joke sketches/doodles of Gou wearing a tengu mask among CAPCOM's design illustrations for Street Fighter ZERO 2.

he's never been a hidden boss in aof1. he was always the last boss. the explanation of his backstory was hidden until you beat the game on the highest difficulty(which explained the 'other' way jeff bogard died...snk and their continuity astounds me sometimes).
Innovating combos you havent even thought of...

Indeed. I missed that somebody said he was "hidden"; you just fight him after Mr. Big. He's always there. Back then, he was just Ryo's sprite with a mask drawn over his face. That's what's with the "white hair" part of the mask, it's just Ryo's hair coloured white. ;D

According to AOF it was Takuma who was hired to kill Jeff, I believe. I think that's incredibly stupid of course, as it's cooler if Geese did it himself, which is the original and true story of what happened! Oh, and Geese isn't dead.

He was hired to kill jeff, but didn't it kinda clears that up in AOF 2 which is why i guess geese did it himself.

Oh boy, here we go again!
Geese is definitely DEAD to me. But in the SNK "matrix" world where characters only age 4 years old over a span of 8 years (see KOF), ANYTHING can happen.
