Eisuke Ogura is known for his incredible attention to detail in his artwork. Ogura's art style is easily recognizabl
e for its realistic character anatomy, dynamic poses, high contrast / shading, and excellent use of colors. Along with HIROAKI, Ogura visually brought in a "new era" of KOF, revitalizing the image of the series. His take on several classic SNK franchises also
revived the spirit of those classic games.
