Kyo Kusanagi debuted as one of the new characters in The King of Fighters ’94 by SNK for Arcades and the NeoGeo where he was introduced as the leader of the Japan Team. He returned in all later King of Fighter’s games and was often one of the main protagonists. He even got his own game with King Of Fighters: Kyo on the Sony Playstation in 1998. Kyo was also in all the crossover games by Capcom and also almost all Crossover Games (with the Exception of the Dating Simulators) by SNK like Neogeo Battle Coliseum or the Neogeo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting game. Kyo Kusanagi was one of the first two characters (with Iori Yagami) that were revealed to return in The King of Fighters XIV that is coming to the Playstation 4 in 2016. In January 2021, Kyo was confirmed to be back in The King of Fighters XV (2021) as well. His fighting style is described as a personal form of the Chinese Boxing martial arts. His special moves changed a lot during the KOF series where he started with some Ryu & Ken similar moves but developed his very own arsenal of moves. Fun Trivia note – Kyo is mentioning that he was not able to finish High School due to the KOF Tournaments. Was this a jab at some “E-Sport Athletes?” 🙂 |
