Iai Geri

Iai Geri (Re-sheath Kick), is one of Benimaru Nikaido's Special Moves, first appearing with him in The King of Fighters '94.

Description
Benimaru rapidly lifts his front knee into his opponent's middle.

Originally, another move by itself used to be the Handou Sandan Geri ("Recoil Three-Stage Kick"), where Benimaru does a hop-into-spin kick, a back-spin kick, finishing into a Super Inazuma Kick.

Thus, later games would allow Benimaru to chain the Iai Geri into the Handou Sandan Geri; this would be renamed to Inazuma Sandan Geri ("Lightning Flash Three-Stage Kick") in The King of Fighters XIV and beyond.
