Finally, the time has come to see the final DLC character that will complete the second season for The King of Fighters 15. Many fans hope that they will be satisfied with this reveal.
SNK announced tonight that Hinako Shijo is the latest addition to KOF15 Season 2, as revealed in a new trailer.
Unfortunately, no actual gameplay in the new video, but we do get to see Hinako's pre-battle intro, where her design closely resembles her classic outfit.
Despite her small stature (just 5'1"), she is a powerful sumo wrestler. She is expected to maintain signature slaps and punches, while also hopefully participating in new games.

Hinako was first introduced in The King of Fighters 2000 as a member of the Women Fighters team alongside Mai, Yuri, and Kasumi. Despite not being included in any roster since KOF 2002 Unlimited Match, she has continued to be a part of the game for 14 years.
Although there's no release date, considering it's still listed for winter, a trailer that was released hints that Hinako is likely to arrive sometime in December.
Hinako teams up with Shingo Yabuki, Kim Kaphwan, Sylvie Paula Paula, Najd, and Duo Lon, along with Goenitz, to successfully complete the second season of KOF15.
While there's no official confirmation for a third season, SNK 's recent post suggests that more could be announced with the "next DLC character announcement coming this winter!" - but it's possible that this wording is just vague and refers to Shijo.
