Chang Koehan is a character in the King of Fighters series.

[edit] History

Chang was a criminal, along with his accomplice, Choi. He entered the KOF tournament after escaping from jail. Chang met Kim before he joined KOF; however, KOF wasn't in Chang's mind, since he was doing his crimes and other random acts of thievery. After being apprehended by the Police, the duo escaped and tried to kidnap a woman on the street. However Kim arrived and assaulted them until they told him that they would join his team for KOF and his "Rehabilitation project".

Smart Chang, a version of Chang with a full head of hair, fitting body and pants, appears as Chang's Maniac Striker in KOF 2000. Smart Chang appeared in one of the four-panel KOF joke strips (known in the net as jests). He was the result of Choi Bounge putting a hole in his belly and letting the air out, much like you do from a balloon.
Chang is very popular in Japan. In contrast, he isn't popular in the US.
In several KOF games Leona Heidern salutes Chang the same way she does her Ikari Warrior teammates. This was originally a bug in KOF 98, but grew into a gigantic in-joke, creating several official artworks of the two together in the Neo Geo CD version of KOF 98's gallery.
Is assisted by Choi Bounge during fights in Capcom vs. SNK 2.
In Korean, Koehan (거한) [巨漢] means "giant man".
In later KOF games, Chang began to utilize Kim's Conquest Kick. Due to Chang's massive weight, this move would go so far as to create an earthquake that would knock an opponent down on the other side of the room.
For many of the earlier games, KOF '95 to '98, Chang had a special where he would attempt Kim's Flying Swallow Slice. Chang would only make half of the flip and fall to the ground on his back with a vengeance, dealing more damage if the second portion connected. Interestly enough, his friend Choi later utilized this same move (flawlessly) in his own moveset, possibly just to poke fun at Chang.
Chang's '02 HDM Great Iron Ball: World is an incredibly deceptive technique. When used, Chang will lift his ball up and dance in place for around four timer ticks... if not thrown or "shaken" during this time (the only known methods of cancelling the move), he will pose, the background becomes black, and Chang performs a massive belly flop into the opponent. This does just about as much damage as it looks like... the opponent flies away as if they were rammed by a train. Since Chang "stops time" during this move, it is of course, an invincible, full-screen, unblockable technique.
Just like Mai Shiranui, King Of Fighters XI depicts Chang's first absence in the game series. Because both him and Choi were missing, Kim Kaphwan dissolved Korea Team and joined Terry Bogard and Duck King in the Garou Team.
