Kim is one of the fighters that helps "The Lonely Wolves" reach Geese Howard in the "King of Fighters" tournament before he could use the scrolls to make him immortal. After Geese's death, Kim still seeks to fight for Justice.

During the events surrounding Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Kim does battle with the serial killer Freeman. He is defeated in no small part due to his age.
