To add more fuel to the fire, the corpse of his wife was found in the Kusanagi homeland. Under a disguise, the murderer then approached the Yasakani head and reported that the Kusanagi clan was responsible, saying that it was "atonement" for letting the seal weaken. Wanting to disrupt their unity, one of the Hakkesshu killed the leader of the Yasakani's wife. The three clans decided to move its vessel into another location.

His experience of being free of both the Orochi curse and the Yasakani bloodline during KOF XIII may have some influence over this action.Īccording to his KOF XIII team story, he smokes frequently.Ħ60 years before the game takes place, Orochi's seal began to weaken. While he still wants to hurt or even kill Kyo in XIV, should the opportunity present itself or if Kyo provokes him, it is noteworthy that he has taken a more active role as a member of the 3 sacred treasures, being the one with the initiative to seal Orochi instead of Chizuru. Unlike Chizuru, the matter of losing his flames has not personally scarred or affected him in any way. Iori is plainly unwilling to accept help from Saisyu despite the latter claims that he wants to save Iori. Iori is also wary of Kyo's father, Saisyu Kusanagi, the man Iori erroneously blames for his own father's death. Like his rival, he doesn't care about the ancient family feud between them and just seems to instinctively hate him. He seems to want to kill his rival at every opportunity they meet, but he can't recall the reasons why he hates Kyo. He still retains pride for his humanity and won't let himself die under any circumstances. It's due to this personal trait that he doesn't like to associate with others and he lives as a lone wolf. In his KOF XII profile, he seems to have trouble knowing which identity is actually his and suffers from a slight identity crisis. Iori tries to ignore it until it angers him, causing him to physically snap in a usually violent manner. Iori can be sympathetic to other people, but his Orochi persona often threatens to take over and harm them. In various drama CDs, Iori is frequently tormented by an Orochi identity that resides within him, which mocks and belittles him as its "master". Despite his crass deposition, Iori hates violence yet sees it as a "necessary evil" to get results. He is not interested in making friends or enemies. In the female form, he was voiced by Chisa Horii. He was voiced by Kunihiko Yasui who is replace with Takanori Hoshino in the Japanese version, and by Jack Merluzzi in the English from 2009.
His character is also a member of SNK's character image band, Band of Fighters and he also appears as a regular antagonist in the spin-off manga, The King of Fighters: Kyo. His official nickname is Unbridled Instinct.Īside from the main body of the King of Fighters series, Iori features his own drama CD and character image album.

They keep the seal over Orochi intact with help from the Kusanagi and Yata clans using three ancient artifacts. His clan, formerly known as the Yasakani (八尺瓊, Yasakani), wields pyrokinetic powers. He is the heir to one of the three clans that sealed the legendary snake entity, Orochi, 1,800 years ago. He is a central recurring character and the initial enemy (and eventual rival) of Kyo Kusanagi.
