Biography

Iori Yagami (八神 庵) is a character from The King of Fighters series. He made first appearance in The King of Fighters '95 as the initial enemy (and eventual rival) of Kyo Kusanagi, as well as the first leader of the Rivals Team and the first rival/deuteragonist of the series. He is the heir to one of the three clans that sealed the legendary snake entity, Orochi, 1,800 years ago. His clan, formerly known as the Yasakani Clan (八尺瓊), wields pyrokinetic powers. They keep the seal over Orochi intact with help from the Kusanagi and Yata clans using three ancient artifacts. His family's treasure is the Yasakani Jewel (八尺瓊曲玉) and his family crest is the crescent moon, which he wears on the back of his old jacket. His official nickname is "Flame of the End" (終焉の炎).[1] In XII and XIII it was changed to "Unbridled Instinct" (解き放たれし本能),[2] and his Flame variant in XIII became "Iori who has Recovered His Flames" (炎を取り戻した庵).[3]. In KOF XV, his nickname is "Unshackled Instinct" (解き放たれし本能). Aside from the main body of the King of Fighters series, Iori features his own drama CD and character image album. 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. Part Time Stories: Kyo & Iori also co-star him and Kyo working together at SNK for the promotion of the company's merchandise.
