When I first saw him, of course I thought he was Gaira... why wouldn't I? Kim Ung Che, a "new" character in Samurai Shodown 6, actually uses Gaira's old sprite. I've heard of some weird palette swaps and humorous ninja sprite clones, but this one is a new level. It's not even a sprite edit. Kim Ung Che's sprite looks exactly like Gaira. -___- Shameless palette swap. Shameless. 

Oddly enough, Gaira went all monk and shaved his head in Samurai Shodown 6. I think they should've made the new character the one with the shaved head... but whatever, SNK wanted to fool us it seems. Gaira was a cool character in SS3, albeit overshadowed by others, but he's literally the last SS character I thought would get a shameless sprite clone character. Yet another one to add to the list of clones that started showing up in Mortal Kombat games... and for SNK, ever since Samurai Shodown V.
