 Kyo is an overconfident but well-meaning person, more interested in enjoying life than taking on responsibilities. He is quick to dismiss subjects that do not interest him and will often carry out his actions with a devil-may-care attitude. He treasures his friends and family, enjoying their presence and particularly dotes on his girlfriend, Yuki. His strong sense of justice and zeal to fight stronger opponents are what he believes drives him to carry out his destiny. Kyo enters most of The King of Fighters tournaments representing the Japanese team along with teammates Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon. In his fights he uses the clan's martial art, the Kusanagi-style of Kempo (Kusanagi-ryū Kenpō), attacking opponents using flames along with several hits. In later series' tournaments he would combine fire with a personal style of kenpō.
