Even though Chris seems to be cute and a funny kid (though he hates beging touched in the head), his dark little secret can lead to the inminent end of the world. As the legend says, a boy will be born with the power of the Orochi, and when he fully awakes, Orochi will be released in the world once again, and chaos will prevail. One would say that the last person on Earth that would carry this power would be Chris, but he is. In fact, he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, being able to wield, in his awakened form, the purple flames of disaster, the same which Iori so painfully wields. Ever since he has memory, Chris never had any parents. He grew up by himself, being self-dependant, and being able to live by himself. He learned to cook and clean by himself. He was also a bit anti-social, since he got a bit tired of hearing everyone praising his cuteness. However, one day, he was encountered in the streets by a young man named Yashiro Nanakase. It seemed he was about to form a music band, and Chris inmediately presumed his skills on the drums. Yashiro was reluctant, but something beyond mere recognition was attracting him to that kid. Yashiro sent Chris to a casting for the band, and he passed very well. Thus began the musical career of the music band, lead by Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris. Chris saw in Yashiro and Shermie his best friends in the world...perhaps his ONLY friends. He, too, felt that something beyond friendship was bonding them. Several years passed, and the new music band got a lot of attention. But soon, they would find their position in the show biz world. Being invited to lead a concert in Japan, the music band traveled with a lot of joy and emotion. Their first stellar appearance! However, when they arrived at the concertplace, the managers had told them they had to wait their turn. Yashiro demanded that they were proposed to be the leading band, but one last band had been admitted in their place instead. Taking a peep at main stage, the crowd was going wild at the enhancing music of the band onstage. Chris recognized a red-haired man as the leader of the band. Yashiro cursed him, and they all went away. Soon enough, Yashiro entered the band in the King of Fighters tournament of 1997. He claimed it was the perfect opportunity to take revenge on the red- haired man who stole their spotlight. He would be entering the tournament as well. His name seemed to be 'Iori Yagami'. Shermie and Chris really did not know what to do: they didn't have much experience at fighting anyway. But Chris was also decided, as long as he had fun (still a kid). Thus, the New Face Team was born and all three entered the tournament. However, it didn't take long before some weird things began to happen. The New Face Team began to felt weird, but Chris was absolutely going wild. Their Orochi blood began to awaken, but in Chris, it had a lot worse effect. Being the actual vector of the Orochi power, his body was controlled completly. Having fought the fighters of the tournament, more and more energy was given into Chris' body. Soon, the Orochi inside Chris was powerful enough to surge again, after 1800 years. Even though the Orochi has godlike powers, it could not resist the power of those who sealed it 1800 years ago: the Kusanagi and the Yagami. Having been defeated, it is unknown whether Chris had survived the battle or not. Chris, despite being a cute being, dislikes being treated like one: that is, being touched in the head, and his cheeks being pulled! In fact, he is pretty quiet and anti-social. His only friends are Yashiro and Shermie. Unaware of the fact that he resides the Orochi power in his body, Chris likes to fight for fun, not for the violence thingy. He also constantly mocks the opponent's skills, and sometimes, his own. OROCHI CHRIS (The King of Fighters '97/The King of Fighters '98) : The awakened form of Chris, becoming one of the Heavenly Kings of Orochi. This Chris gains much more power, and wields purple flames, which Iori wields as well (but can not resist as much as Chris). His clothing also turns into a purple hue, and constantly has two purple flames in his hands. His special powers and super moves are all different from the normal Chris (although one of his super moves mimics one of Kyo's super moves!). *Fun fact = Those cute eyes and laughs are enough to make your opponent cry and frustration! Appearances: The King of Fighters '97, The King of Fighters '98
