Team Kyo

Team Kyo ( is a reoccurring team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team is formed by Kyo Kusanagi and some characters who have aligned with him, acting as the Hero Team of the Orochi Saga. The classic formation of the teams occurred when Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon met during one of the qualifiers for the KOF tournament, which at the time was organized by criminal Rugal Bernstein. Kyo, heir of the Kusanagi clan, one of those who sealed the entity known as Orochi, won the first place, followed by Benimaru and Daimon. The team led by Kyo had, as one of his main missions, prevent the imminent return of the evil entity known as Orochi.

During the NESTS Chronicles, the team was undone due to Kyo's disappearance in '99 and later his solo mission in 2000, until it was remade at the end of the saga, with the presence of Shingo Yabuki, the big fan of Kyo, to defeat the cartel that cloned the heir to the Kusanagi clan. The classic team was also present in the XIII and XIV tournaments. In The King of Fighters XV, the team appears as the Sacred Treasures Team, due to Kyo being descended from one of the clans that sealed Orochi, along with Iori Yagami and Chizuru Kagura.
