Rakugakids (らくがきっず, Rakugakizzu) is a 2D fighting video game created by Konami for the Nintendo 64, released in 1998. The name Rakugakids is a portmanteau of the Japanese word rakugaki (meaning "doodle") and the English word "kids", a reflection of the visual style of the game, which resembled children's drawings.[2]
