Team K'

Team K' is a reoccurring Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team is composed of K' and Maxima, the two main protagonists of the NESTS Saga, and some characters who have aligned with him. Beside that, this team is the second Hero Team' of the series.

During the NESTS Saga (KOF '99 through KOF 2001), due the Striker System, this team (along with everyone's teams who participated in those tournaments) are composed of four characters instead of the usual three. Starting with The King of Fighters 2002 (and canonically in The King of Fighters 2003), the teams return back to the classic 3-on-3 formation. In every formation, K' and Maxima have always been together, and have receive other characters to join them, until they remain with their most recent formation (with Kula Diamond, K's rival during his story arc's source), which has been in force ever since the 11th tournament.
