Fan CastingThe King of Fighters XI (TV Series)

Previously on KOF 2003, "Those from the Distant Land", the true mastermind behind the previous KOF, succeeded on tampering the seal of Orochi under Mukai's hands, while Ash Crimson took this chance to steal the Yata Mirror from Chizuru, effectively rendering her powerless. In the advent of a new KOF tournament, new faces are handed invitations, while old faces return to the ring. All these fighters will find themselves in a tournament full of mysteries and secrets started by motives that they’d ignored. Behind this healthy competitive tournament hides a hidden force called "Those from the Distant Land" with a mysterious goal. Now two hostile factions on the loose, the remaining members of Three Sacred Treasures, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, have no choice but to team up with each other (with the third filled by Shingo Yabuki) to join the new KOF, going after both targets to find out what they're up to.
