Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on March 29, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Joe Higashi! The King of Fighters' most charismatic Muay Thai champion—your tornado kicks and fiery punches have left opponents dizzy (and fans even dizzier). Whether you're flexing your muscles or flashing that trademark grin after a knockout victory, you've always reminded us to fight hard but laugh harder.

From epic battles against Terry Bogard to hilarious banter with Andy about who's got better hair—you've given us countless memorable moments. May this birthday bring you as much joy as the time you landed that legendary Hurricane Uppercut combo. Keep kicking high and smiling wide; here's hoping your shorts never get longer!
