Trivia

 * With exception of Billy Kane and Eiji Kisaragi (who debuts in the Fatal Fury series and Art of Fighting series, respectively), the other characters on this team are exclusively created for the KOF series.


 * Due to the fact that the team bears his last name, Iori is the only character who is always present in him.


 * Vanessa, Seth and Ramón, members of the 2001's formation, are the founders of Team Agents, a team present in The King of Fighters 2002, The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, The King of Fighters XI and The King of Fighters XV.


 * Iori also appears as a boss for SNK Gals' Fighters, under the nickname Miss X.


 * Billy and Eiji are the only former members who left the team on hostile terms, mainly due to Iori mauling them after Omega Rugal's destruction. In his other team formations apart from the ones formed with Mature and Vice, it can be assumed the team dissolution was on somewhat amicable terms.


 * In The King of Fighters 2002, this team was called "KOF '96 Team", with its members (Iori, Mature and Vice) representing The King of Fighters '96 (the canonical game which both appears as a team). However, in the remake of the reffered game, the team returns to their original name.


 * This team, Team Isla, Team Masters, Team K', Team NESTS, Team Kim, Team Ikari Warriors, Team Agents and Team Rivals are the only teams of the series which one or more members have unknown nationality.
