History

Kyo is the latest descendant of the legendary Kusanagi clan, which is one of the three families that managed to seal away the Orochi power 1800 years ago, along with the Yasakani. However, ever since the Yasakani struck an unholy pact with the Orochi, and became the Yagami, the Kusanagi now engage in a mortal war with the Yagami, and now they use their crimson flames, which were once used to put Orochi to sleep, against their ancient allies. Many members of both clans have perished up until this day, where Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami must now finish the battle of 660 years.

Kyo, despite his respect for Iori, considers he can not escape his fate, and that he has to fight, and maybe kill Iori one day. Meanwhile, Kyo studies in high school (where he had been for quite some time, due to his lack of will to study), and passes most of the time with his girlfriend Yuki, his best friend Benimaru Nikaido, his confidante Athena Asamiya, and his pesky student (of sorts) Shingo Yabuki. He also likes to talk with his mother, Shizuka, whenever he gets home. Since Kyo's father, Saisyu, is always out searching for opponents, Shizuka is the responsible of passing down the Kusanagi legacy to Kyo. However, Kyo also seems to be a very cold and arrogant man, and rather unsociable to all the ones who bother him. Kyo keeps himself training, learning to wield the crimson flames of the Kusanagi. He wears gloves specially designed to control the flames efficiently.

After fighting many opponents, Kyo's attention is called by a poster announcing a martial arts tournament, that would ensue in order to acknowledge the three most powerful fighters in Japan, thus enshaping a team to fight in the new format of the King of Fighters tournament. Inspired to fight, even more after being challenged by another fighter called Benimaru Nikaido, Kyo enters willing to win. Kyo does not use his entire power, but with his control of them, he reaches the semifinals without much effort. There, he meets a great judo fighter named Goro Daimon. Anyway, Kyo would have to fight Daimon and, for the first time, Kyo has to use all of his power to beat Daimon with his crimson flames. Daimon congratulates Kyo, who is so impressed with him that he would like to see him in his team. Daimon promises, and said that, Daimon wins the third-place match. The final battle was against no other than Benimaru, the narcissist who dared Kyo to a fight. Now, they both had their shot. The fight was very spectacular, with flames and electricity flying everywhere. However, Kyo won at the end. Benimaru accepted his defeat, and decided to be friends with Kyo. The duo has been the closest of friends, but they also tend to quarrel too much when they discuss aout their skills, having to be cooled down by Daimon!

Kyo and his team now enter the King of Fighters tournament. Kyo now has to fight living legends such as the past champion, Terry Bogard, the fighters of Kyokugenryu Karate, and others. Kyo was very excited to fight so many good warriors, and extracted a bit of knowledge from each battle. The Japan Team fought with all their might, and won the right to fight in the last battle. A beautiful woman invited them to a helicopter, which transported them to an air carrier in the middle of the sea. Inside, Kyo saw a man sitting in a black chair with a pet panther aside him. The man introduced himself as Rugal Bernstein, the host of the tournament. Rugal admits that their skills were quite impressive, but he had to finish them now. Then, the Hero Team realizes with horror that Rugal has a personal collection of statues of fighters who were actually alive, but bathed into metal once defeated. Refusing to accept this horrible destiny, Kyo and his team fights against Rugal. Although Benimaru and Daimon fight well, they only manage to increase Rugal's wrath, and once he reveals his true power, he blows Benimaru and Daimon away, and now Kyo has to face him. But Kyo doesn't fare any better, and begins to get trashed. However, Kyo notices a man lying on the ground in a corner of the room. Upon closer inspection, it was his father,Saisyu Kusanagi. Filled with rage, Kyo now attacks Rugal with all the rage of the Kusanagi. Pushing Rugal to the limits, the evil fighter bombs his own carrier, and Kyo and his team barely escape with their lives. However, Kyo worries about his father, and thinks if he managed to survive...
