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
sponsor. 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.
