Originally a member of the organization NESTS, Kula is the result of an experiment to kill the rebellious K', earning the title of "Anti-K'" (アンチK', Anchi-Kei Dasshu). However, during NESTS' destruction, Kula forms a bond with K' and his allies to the point of joining his team. In following titles she lives with K' under the care of the cyborg Maxima.
Kula was created to add more characters to the NESTS syndicate and to add more depth to the series' second story arc. Her physical appearance was carefully designed to appeal to female players. Yumi Kakazu has voiced Kula in all of her appearances, while Kat Cassteneda provides her English voice in the spin-off game KOF: Maximum Impact 2.
At first the character got a mixed reception as comparisons were made between her and earlier SNK fighters. Subsequently, journalists and video game reviewers have been largely positive about Kula liking her fighting style, mostly for her use of ice, as well as her contrast with K'. However, the character's attractiveness also earned a mixed reaction. Critics were divided over her beauty and her skimpy designs in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
