	K' is the result of an unnatural creation. Planned to become the ultimate Kyo 
Kusanagi clone by the Nests cartel, they begin to work on a prototype that would 
carry the overwhelming power of the Kusanagis. They succeeded, but only in part. 
While K' inherited the inmense Kusanagi flames, his weak body is unable to sustain 
so much power. Thus, K's creators decide to place a special glove on his hand so K' 
can wield the power with no problem at all. Since K' was to become Krizalid, but 
was an incomplete clone, was just named with his incomplete name: K'. 
	After activation, K' is sent out by his master, Krizalid, to join with his 
partner Maxima, and team up with Benimaru Nikaido and Shingo Yabuki in order to 
enter the King of Fighters tournament and collect battle data from the fighters of 
the competition in order to activate the Kyo Kusanagi clones around the world. 
Disgusted by such petty orders, K' joins Benimaru and Shingo with little, if at 
all, interest in the King of Fighters tournament. He didn't even talk with Maxima a 
lot, either. He was just a clone on a mission...and soon, many would fear the new 
beast of fire!
	K' demonstrated his capacity as a fighter in the tournament, using 
interesting variations to the Kusanagi crimson flame power. Based on his sheer 
violent spírit, K' became a force to be reckoned with. Soon enough, he jumped to be 
the most sighted fighter of the tournament, not only by his cruelty and quickness, 
but by his totally different attitude and techniques from Kyo. K' doesn't mind any 
of it, and soon enough, he guides Benimaru and Shingo to the place of reunion set 
by Krizalid, in a sewer. The sewer drains to reveal a secret elevator that takes 
the whole team to the underground base of Krizalid. Somehow, K' sensed something 
exceptional would happen that day....
	K' watches with little amusement as Krizalid does battle with Benimaru and 
Shingo. He knew that their attempts would be futile, but why did they keep trying? 
K' felt something exceptional in those persons...something he had failed to sense 
before: human compassion. He knew that the plot of Krizalid was to extract enough 
data from Benimaru and Shingo in order to activate the clones. So, as Benimaru was 
about to deliver a devastating blow, K' tried to stop him, to no avail. Krizalid 
had finished his process, and thanks K'. K' refuses to follow orders for Krizalid 
anymore, but Krizalid reminds him of his position as a clone. When in doubt, 
Krizalid asks K' about his parents or childhood...to which K' can not reply. 
However, one final data is amiss: the killer instinct. Krizalid asks K' if he 
desires it, but K' is not so sure anymore. However, before he can know it, 
Krizalid's final rampage is already in its fullest....
	K' fights Krizalid alongside Maxima with unexpected feelings. He felt both 
excited and angry. He was tired of living under the shadow of Krizalid, and he 
would show him who manages the Kusanagi flames best! K' puts it all into his 
techniques, and manages to make Krizalid pass a hard time. However, it is not 
enough to defeat Krizalid. The end seems near, when all of a sudden, a crimosn 
flame blast puts Krizalid down. The assailant was no other than the original Kyo 
Kusanagi! K' finds in him the true challenge he was looking for, but before he has 
the chance to fight his original, a steel door slams in his face, closing both him 
and Maxima. A voice from above thunders in K's ears, asking him if he would prefer 
to live the life of a normal human. K' demands him to shut up, since he can do 
whatever he wants. The omnipotent voice of the Nests cartel dooms both K' and 
Maxima to a swift death, as they are surrounded by the Ikari extermination squad 
that have already infiltrated the facility. 
	However, K' is not the one to be impressed by such toys. At the limit of his 
capabilities, K' unleashes the remaining force he has to blow several soldiers 
away, making his glove collapse. Now unable to stop his hand from flaming, he is 
aided by Maxima in escaping the collapsed base. There is still much to do for K', 
at the beginning of a new millenium...and a new life.
	K' is certainly bitter with life, being an unnatural creation and living 
underneath the shadow of Krizalid. He dislikes being ordered around, and wishes to 
live his own life as he pleases. His furious attacks in battle are to be feared 
indeed, since he seems to lose it. Antisocial and only friend to Maxima, K' is 
impervious to human feelings, and is a very cold and ruthless young man.	
*Fun fact = K's outfit supposedly reflects the typical image of a Japanese 
cyberpunk (for further references, please consult the anime movie Akira). Also, it 
was once rumored that K' was Benimaru Nikaido's brother.
