Kyo (Life & Death)

Kyo Kusanagi (草薙 京, Kusanagi Kyō) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Kyo is the main character of SNK's King of Fighters series of games, where he appears alongside various other fighters such as Terry Bogard. Within the series, Kyo is a cocky former delinquent high school student who is heir to the Kusanagi clan with fire powers to match with this. He is the eternal rival of Iori Yagami, also heir to a rival clan of the Kusanagis.
In addition to Kyo, he features an alternate character, Kyoko (コスプレイヤー京子, Kosupureyā Kyoko), a cosplayer who appeared as a playable striker for Shingo in The King of Fighters 2000. Much like other alternate characters, Kyoko features a different voice actor, her own animations and much more, while still retaining all of Kyo's moves.
Kyo is voiced by Tomoaki Maeno, who reprises his role from KOF 14 while Haruna Ikezawa reprises the role of Kyoko from KOF 2000. Both voice Kyo and Kyoko in all versions of Life or Death.

==Fighter Spirits==
Kyo's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Kyo in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
