K' DASH

In 2003, Chin Gentsai visits {{char}} and Maxima and asks them to participate in the tournament. Sensing a dark wave of energy surrounding that year's King of Fighters tournament, Chin wants them to investigate instead. K' and his teammates reach the finals and face Mukai. K' defeats him but is annoyed by Mukai's taunts about regaining his memories and reaching his true potential. Mukai's words continue to haunt him in the next tournament, leading K' to question whether he can overcome his destiny as "the Second Flame of Kusanagi." At the end of The King of Fighters XI video game tournament, K' and his teammates are invited by Heidern to attend a lecture about the mysterious group known as Those from the Past. Heidern claims to have Magaki's body, but they are attacked by two children who steal it. K' has absolutely no interest in participating in The King of Fighters XIII video game tournament and is annoyed when Chin summons him again to his apartment with Maxima. Since he soon learns that Chin and Kula are in the recent tournament, K' is forced to participate against his will.

At that moment, K' challenges Kyo to a fight. Before the battle ends, the debris from steel gates separates the two fighters, and after defeating the NESTS cartel once again, the Hero Team quickly escapes before the Ikari Warriors Team extermination squad arrives. By the following year, K' and Maxima were still on the run from the Ikari Warriors (who were hunting them as fugitive criminals) and the NESTS cartel (who were hunting them as traitors). K' decides to clear his name by participating in King of Fighters 2000. Vanessa and a Mexican wrestler named Ramon offer to form a new team with them. Although K' doesn't trust them in the slightest, he reluctantly accepts their help. He also begins having nightmares about a girl yelling "brother" at him. When the Hero Team arrives in Southtown for their final battle in the tournament, the déjà vu haunts him even more. Upon arriving at an empty warehouse, he senses an intruder and orders Maxima to lead the other two team members outside. Now, he's faced only by a young woman wearing a suit very similar to his own. She calls herself Anti-K', and a battle ensues. K' discovers that all their attacks and fighting styles are similar and essentially cancel each other out. He rescues Kula as she sinks into the ocean. They decide to put aside their old differences and look out for one another. K' even hides from K9999 and Angel, who had come to eliminate the previous rogue NESTS agents (K' and Kula). K' even decides to take care of Kula because she seems very childlike.

Lin then leaves the team to continue the search for Ron. Maxima tells K' that she will also leave, out of respect for her deceased friend (who was killed by NESTS). K' is unaware of what will happen to her (and Kula's) future, as well as the consequences of the destruction of the NESTS cartel. K' develops feelings for her, but doesn't show them.

History

K' is the result of NESTS' plan to create the perfect clone of Kyo. To achieve this, they began experimenting on a human capable of wielding the immense power of the gods by injecting him with Kyo's DNA. They only achieved partial success, as K's weak, still-childlike body was unable to control the immense power of the Kusanagi Flames. His creators then fitted him with a special glove on his arm, allowing him to control the power without difficulty. Because he was an incomplete clone who never became a god, he was given an incomplete name: K', which limits his ability to control his powers to a certain degree.

Before the experiment, K' was a normal human, though little is known about his past life. As a child, K' was kidnapped by NESTS agents to be the experimental subject for their prototype. They would implant the Kusanagi power into him so that NESTS could prove it was possible to implant Kusanagi power into a normal human, but it turned out they were unable to control the power without the aid of the special glove. NESTS also altered K's memory, and the only thing he remembers from his past life is a little girl who called him "brother" and cried for him, but this memory now only appears in his dreams. NESTS Saga After his activation, Krizalid ordered K' to form a team with Maxima, Benimaru Nikaido, and Shingo Yabuki to enter The King of Fighters tournament and gather data on the other participants' battles, all with the goal of activating Kyo Kusanagi clones around the world. The new Hero Team encounters Krizalid in an underground facility, as planned for a final battle, which K' sees as an opportunity to seize control. However, his powers are insufficient; Krizalid is about to kill them when Kyo appears and defeats him.
