For a guy who never graduated highschool, Kyo definitely has done good for himself.

You know what I like about Kyo? He's this MC who has a special bloodbline but gives no shit abt it unless his family is threatened, leads a normal life, with a love towards his motorcycle and his girlfriend & friends. Thats all nothing too edgy and complicated which makes him unique among fighting games MC's. He is a relatable character

You are not a KOF Fan if you have never once tried to pretend as Iori or Kyo

The story of Terry Bogard: He entered every tournament, reached the semifinals and then went home

Kyo is by far my favorite KOF character. I love the fact that even when he's not the MC of a particular arc, he's always one of the central character... but since the Orochi saga is what I think of when I think of KOF, I'll always see Kyo as THE MC of KOF.

Dude, I always thought that Kyo was a natural and never trained, thanks for teaching me his history with such detail. Now I've found new respect for the character.

[Mjwara]

Who's happy that Kyo's original appearance is back?

[KOFKYO]

Kyo is the eternal hero of KOF. Even with each saga he is a central figure in each arc

Your KoF Lore is the best content i have ever seen about kof

Real quick, the Yagami was originally called the Yasakani before binding a contract with the Orochi and became the Yagami.


It honestly sucked that Kusanagi wasn't a NESTS project, honestly, his personality seemed perfect as a Kyo clone.
One of Kusanagi's super move from 2002 UM came from KOF 99 EVOLUTION from Syo Kirishima.

Before we had Prince Zuko and Azula, we had Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami

Nests Kyo is my childhood fighting game hero.

[vaclaw]

I just want to thank you for telling me the story of Kyo because I’m getting into SNKs series and this video really helped!

[BrothaKyo]

Character that was so influential in my life, he wound up as my nickname.

[Addition]

While Kyo is the main hero to many, K' remains to be my most favorite main character.

[Ines_Ella]

I've never seen someone made such an effort at gathering a full amount of information about this game . We the KOF old school members are grateful to you Thank You 😊🙏❤️

My first exposure to Kyo and KOF in general were the arcade 2002 cabinets that were lying around my country. Ironically, the first characters I saw and remember wasn't him but Iori and Flame!Chris. I spent years wondering how to unlock the latter's flame mode when I saw the different stances while being unaware of Kyo as the main hero for many years. My cousin and I would just main Kyo and Iori by sheer coincidence, unaware that they are the main protagonists.

[ajsoreal]

I would love to see a show just about Kyo and his orgins

[E.e.V.e.E]

Now this is the best review about Kyo ever
!!
he's my favorite character and this video make me understand his story better especially with the clones
🤣
KOF deserve to be acknowledged and you making good job to support it
Thank you and keep it up.
