## Story

K' (real name unknown) was a normal child who lived happily
with his sister, Seirah. One day, they were captured by NESTS, a crime
syndicate who dealt with drugs, genetics, robotics and biotechnology. K' was
kept under NESTS and trained to be some kind of weapon. In 1998, K' was made to
participate in the Kusanagi cloning program. He was infused with Kyo Kusanagi's
DNA, which gave him the power of pyrokinesis. During the program, K's memory
was tinkered with, and he was made to believe that he was Krizalid's clone. Any
real memories from his past has either been erased by NESTS, forgotten, or
repressed.

Under NESTS orders, he and Maxima joined the King of
Fighters tournament with Benimaru Nikaido and Shingo Yabuki. The team makes it
to the finals and are sent to a place where Krizalid waits for them. He poses
as the tournament's host and fights them to gather their battle data energy. He
hoped to use the data to activate the thousands of listless Kyo clones around
the globe. However, K' defeats him and the team learns that Krizalid was merely
a pawn for NESTS. Shortly afterward, Krizalid is executed by his superior. When
the base collapses, K' and Maxima are divided from their team and hunted down
by the Ikari squad. They survive the ambush and continue their resistance by
leaving the organization. K's personal reason for doing so is find a way to
regain his lost memories.

The next year, K' and Maxima were joined by mercenaries
Vanessa and Ramon. They entered the tournament to discover NESTS scheme, but
Vanessa and Ramon were there to capture K' and Maxima at the end of the
tournament, since they were working for Ling and Heidern. Their team makes it
to the finals where they encounter Zero. Although K' defeats the traitor, they
are unable to stop the Zero Cannon from firing. Unknown to them, Kula Diamond
and her team destroy it and save the world from further damage. K' and Maxima
are once again separated from their teammates after the tournament's climax.
Whip finds them, reveals her relation to K', and joins their resistance effort.

They spend the remainder of the year hunting down NESTS's
bases around the globe. Though they have stumped some of the syndicate's plans,
none of the bases were the main headquarters they were hoping for. K' and
company enter the 2001 tournament with Lin, who tracked their movements in his
personal hunt for Ron. Once his team makes it to the finals, they are lifted
into a spaceship and are confronted by the real Zero. He reveals to the
frustrated K' that they are on their way to the syndicate's main headquarters
and will meet the real leader to NESTS. Once they reach the satellite, they
meet Nests, Misty, and Igniz. Although Nests requests their neutral
cooperation, he is quickly killed by Igniz. There, they learn that they are
merely cyborgs (or clones) purely created for Igniz's personal entertainment.
K's team faces the villain and defeats him, which motivates Igniz to kamikaze
the satellite to Earth. It harmlessly falls in the ocean - apparently thanks to
Ron - with most of its passengers safe. Emerging from the wreck, K' forms an
alliance with Kula and Diana. Both of them want to make their own future and
make up for the time lost in their lives.

In 2003, Chin Gentsai visits K' and Maxima and requests that
they enter the tournament. Chin, feeling a dark wave of energy around KOF that
year, wants them to investigate it in his place. K' and company make it to the
finals and face Mukai. K' defeats him, but is bothered by his taunts about
regaining his memories, as well as reaching his true potential. Mukai's words
continue to haunt him in the following tournament, leading K' to wonder if he
can surpass his fate as "the second Kusanagi flame". At the end of
the XI tournament, K' and his teammates were invited by Heidern to attend a
lecture about the mysterious group known as Those from the Past. Heidern said
he had Magaki's body, but they were attacked by two children who took the body
away. K' had absolutely no interest in entering the KOF XIII tournament, and is
upset when Chin calls him once more at his apartment with Maxima. Since he soon
learns from Chin and Kula that they're in the newest tournament, K' is forced
to enter against his own will.
