Kula Shaker
The band are known for their interest in traditional Indian music, culture, and mysticism, with a number of their most famous songs, including "Tattva" and "Govinda", featuring lyrics written in Sanskrit. The name Kula Shaker was itself inspired by King Kulasekhara, an Indian emperor from the 8th century. In addition, many of the band's songs feature traditional Indian instruments, such as the sitar, tamboura, and tabla, juxtaposed with guitar-heavy, Western rock instrumentation. Despite achieving commercial success, Kula Shaker were unpopular with many critics, with "The Observer"'s Simon Price describing them in 2014 as a "joke band".
Kula Diamond
Kula Diamond is an experimented gynab created by NESTS to exterminate the cartel's traitor, K'. Despite the fact their subject was a mindless puppet with no sign of emotions, the NESTS cartel created an android called Candy Diamond to monitor Kula's behavior and to ensure that she would accomplish her missions. During "The King of Fighters 2000", Kula can be fought as a mid-boss during her debut. Shortly afterwards, Kula destroys the main Zero Cannon from its titular creator who is betraying NESTS. Candy shields Kula's descent from space, sacrificing her body as it is badly burned by Earth's atmosphere. While recovering from the trauma of Candy's destruction, in the following game, "The King of Fighters 2001", Kula enters into the fighting tournament with fellow NESTS' agents Foxy, K9999 and Angel to capture K'. During the story, Kula and Foxy are betrayed by K9999 and Angel. However, in K's Team ending among others, she is seen as being safe and forms a friendship with her original target and allies. In the story-less game, "The King of Fighters 2002", Kula appears as member of a team with Angel and K9999.
