Bio
Kyo Kusanagi is the poster child of the plus-populated roster in the King of Fighters series. He inherited his ancestors' pyrokinetic powers that helped seal away the multiheaded dragon Orochi centuries before. By Japanese standards, Kyo's prestigious pride comes off as conceited. Of course, it's all part of being a visibly avid contestant in the annual King of Fighters tournament.
Recurrent opponents include Iori Yagami, who rivals Kyo with his own bloodline and brand of flames. Then there's the enigmatic host, whose identity and motives remain hidden until the strongest fighter is proven. Sure of himself, Kyo mixes his clan's fiery martial arts with Chinese boxing to uppercut, kick, and toast his way up the ranks.
