Bleach the King of Fighters series

**Bleach the King of Fighters** (BLEACH -ブリーチ-　ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ, *BLEACH -Burīchi- Za Kingu obu Faitāzu*?), commonly abbreviated as **BtKoF**, is a popular series of fighting games, developed by SNK Playmore and published by Konami, in which the players pit combatants from around the world, each with their own special moves, against one another. *Bleach the King of Fighters* is largely credited with setting the standards for all future games to come and is regarded as a true classic series, (though still not the first game ever released). Konami released the first game in the series in August 2004. In 2009, a mini-games called *Bleach the King of Fighters: Battle Heroes* was created by the team who eventually would develop *Bleach the King of Fighters*.
