It's not until 2002: Unlimited Match that he gains a few new moves of his own. Divergent Character Evolution: Much like Kyo-1, KUSANAGI was based on the '94- '95 Kyo template.

#THE KING OF FIGHTERS 99 KING CHARACTER UPDATE#
An update in September 2022 to the character database in the official KOF site made him canon as a NESTS experiment. Canon Immigrant: KUSANAGI first appeared in the non-canon 2002 and in 2003 as Kyo's evil magical doppelganger.Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He considers himself to be better not only to other clones but to Kyo himself.ArchEnemy: XV revealed he's one to K9999/ Krohnen since they often clashed during their time in NESTS, where KUSANAGI treated K9999/ Krohnen as a defective copy.Ambiguously Brown: Unlike Kyo-1 and Kyo-2, KUSANAGI has tan skin, likely as a side-effect of the experiment that created him.KUSANAGI has a somewhat rougher personality than the original Kyo, and is often belligerent. NESTS, the syndicate bent on world domination, developed a project to transplant Kyo Kusanagi's flame power into a cloned body, and thus, KUSANAGI was born into this world.
