Characters in The King of Fighters introduced during the Tales of Ash (KOF 2003-the present, i.e. KOF XIII) will be listed here. This includes the PS2-exclusive characters in KOF XI. Characters are listed in alphabetical order of last names. It should be noted that all the Chinese and Korean character names are rendered in the Western style (given name-surname rather than surname-given name). References, such as Mythology Gags, Continuity Nods, "No Celebrities Were Harmed", Expy, Shout-Out, Captain Ersatz, and the like, should go in this page.
