Japan's Strongest Fighters

 

 

Team Story :

        One day, Kyo received a challenge from a mystery man.  He asked that

Kyo go alone.  Kyo goes and fights, but is defeated.  But before he loses

consciousness, the mystery man tells Kyo, "You are too weak.  I hope that in

the tournament you will be stronger and then we can fight again."  When Kyo

awakens, Benimaru and Goro are there.  He tells them what had occurred, and

they give him the invitation.  They enter the tournament to find out who the

mystery man is and what's his relationship to Iori.

Age : 20

Height : 181 cm

Background Info : Kyo was raised in the Kusanagi Clan, a clan that taught the

deadly burning martial arts of Magatama.  Their techniques required a focused

chi to generate awesome fire-based attacks.  He joined the King of Fighters

Tournament in search of his father who was rumored to have been defeated by

the sponser.  Learning about his father's death at the hands of Rugal, he

exacted revenge.  But in '95 his father and Rugal resurfaced, and Kyo was put

to the test once again.  But a new challenge arose as well.  A face from his

past had returned.  The rival Yagami Clan had entered its own fighter in the

tournament.  A childhood rival named Iori was out for Kusanagi blood.  In

1996, Kyo is badly defeated by an unknown fighter.  He is so badly beaten,

that he can barely even perform any of his special techniques.  Returning to

the place of his defeat, he performs a new technique before Benimaru and

Goro...one that wields massive power.  With this technique, they enter the

tournament to find the one who humiliated Kyo.  Kyo's power is that of the

Sun.
