Robert Garcia is a fighting game character created by SNK Playmore (formerly SNK). He's best known as the co-lead of Art of Fighting alongside his best friend Ryo Sakazaki—both trained in Kyokugenryu Karate and on a mission to rescue Ryo's kidnapped sister Yuri from a crime boss named Mr. Big.
Beyond Art of Fighting, Robert has been a mainstay in The King of Fighters series, where he regularly competes as part of three-person tournament teams. He's appeared in nearly every KOF game, with the notable exception of The King of Fighters XI, though he was later added back for the PS2 version.
His presence extends beyond games too. Robert showed up in the Art of Fighting film adaptation and various King of Fighters manga adaptations. Critics have given him mixed reviews—they've generally praised his character design, though some have noted similarities to Street Fighter's main cast. Fans, however, have consistently ranked him well in popularity polls across gaming publications and websites.
