Yashiro Nanakase is a videogame character from the King of Fighters series.

History

The true origins of the Orochi fighter known as Yashiro are shrouded in mystery. He was a wanderer who traveled the world at his leisure, and played his guitar to his heart's content.

He then found two people who seemed to understand him: in France, he meets Shermie, a beautiful female keyboarder. Even though he notices there's something familiar on her, Yashiro got hooked on her. Afterwards, in Sweden, he meets a kid named Chris who, although seemingly quite antisocial, made an excellent drummer. As Chris was a drummer, Yashiro thought of making a band, and soon they played all around the world, making thousands of fans. Yashiro become a celebrity, but he also felt something special between him and his partners. Something between life and death...

Yashiro looked foward to playing at a big venue in Japan. He strived to look better than ever, although Shermie and Chris looked a little bored with the idea. The day arrived, and a huge crowd came up to see them. He then sees a red-haired man shaking up the crowd. Yashiro leaves, but not without the feeling of something familiar in the soul of that man... just like he felt with Shermie and Chris.

Yashiro spent the following days training deadly fighting techniques, so he could exact revenge on that redhead. His chance appeared by the time of the King of Fighters '97 tournament. However, his dangerous self would be revealed throughout the tournament. He was revealed to be the sacred king of the parched earth, one of the four sacred kings of Orochi, and would fight to get energy for Orochi! Yashiro became the most feared of the fighters, and when he is defeated at much cost, he says his defeat was useless, as Orochi had achieved enough energy at that point. They then poured it all into Chris, who made a startling transformation into the original Orochi. However, the resurection was inturupted by none other than Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. They proceed to engage the Orochi in battle, but are blown away by his phenomenal power. Soon, however, Chizuru Kagura enters the fight, and the tables begin to turn. Relizing his defeat was near, The Orochi used the last of his power to transform Iori into Orochi Iori. Believing his transformation would turn him agaist his teammates, The Orochi chuckled in triumph... until Iori grabbed him instead. Now, holding the Orochi in place, Iori told Kyo to finish him off. Kyo did so, then Chizuru sealed the Orochi up. The Orochi fighters and Yashiro, however, were never seen again.

Trivia
