Bao (pronounced "Pow") is a boy... Though I still can't see how people could take him for a girl. eek_2 eek_2 eek_2

Ever since I first played KOF '99, I had always wanted to know what gender Bao was. The same happened thing with Chris when I first played KOF '97 too. Bao is about as hard to figure out as Chris is but both of them are male. eek_2

Yeah, I was pretty confused about Chris as well. I've heard some KOF players say 'male', others 'female'. He (she?) is pretty androgynous.

I saw Bao's concept sketches and she(he) was wearing dresses. I wish I had the link for it.

I have a couple of those sketches. Yes, in a concept sketch there were a few drawings entertaining the idea of Bao being female by putting on dresses. Of course, this was just a page, and it was included with a bunch of pics of Bao actually wearing traditional male clothes. But basically, they decided before his first true game entry to make him a young boy. Of course, it doesn't help that so obviously most young boys are played by female voice actresses. Even worse when quite a few can't sound male in the least (see Japanese version of Outlaw Star for a very spooky reference of that).

Bao-Male
Chris-Male

I have seen some early art of Bao and I think he was originally going to be a girl.
