Although originally conceived as cisgender females, this switch can even be seen in concept art for Roxy and Poison, where they are referred to as, "ニューハーフ," meaning, "newhalf"; this is now a derogatory term equivalent to "shemale".[7] It can also be seen post-release in the Japanese instruction manual for the SNES port.[8] Despite this switch by his own suggestion, Nishitani still personally views Poison as a cisgender female.[9] It is worth noting that fellow Final Fight designer Akira Yasuda, the creator of Roxy and Poison, personally views Poison as a cisgender female in Japan and as a transgender female in North America, presumably due to this switch during development.[5]
