"Can you hear the earth roar?! He's risen above humans, and commands the land itself! OROCHI YASHIRO." - The King of Fighters XV
Orochi Yashiro (オロチ
Personality[]
Orochi Yashiro is a ruthless and relentless fighter who lives for battle. Fully devoted to Orochi’s will, he sees humanity as a stain on the earth that needs to be wiped out. He thrives on destruction and takes pleasure in overpowering anyone who dares to stand in his way. He is aggressive and no-nonsense, always focused on completing his mission with brutal efficiency.
Despite his cold and violent nature, Orochi Yashiro retains the confidence and charisma that define his human counterpart. He commands attention in any situation, and his presence is enough to intimidate even the strongest opponents. While he doesn’t shy away from overwhelming force, his actions are always driven by his loyalty to Orochi and the ultimate goal of reshaping the world in their image.
He thinks to himself at times if wiping out humanity is truly the right path, as he finds the world without them a bore. This is evident in his ending with Team Awakened Orochi, questioning the value of the desolate emptiness they created.
Powers[]
- Geokinesis - Granted by Orochi, Yashiro is able to control the earth.
- Earthquake - Yashiro can create earthquakes by simply willing them to happen.
- Eruption - Yashiro focus his power and make volcanoes erupt.
- Super Strength - Yashiro is empowered by earth's energy and is able to grab and throw anyone with one hand & no apparent effort.
- Seismic Impact - Yashiro empowers his throws by triggering this power. When his opponent reaches the floor after being thrown, Yashiro creates small bursts of energy from the earth beneath them, causing even more damage to his opponent.
- Earth Blast - By touching the ground and absorbing energy from the earth, Yashiro can fire a powerful blast of energy. The longer he absorbs energy from the earth, the more powerful the blast becomes.
- Orochi Power - As a Heavenly King, Yashiro has limited control over the Orochi Power.
- Activate Riot of the Blood - Yashiro can activate the Riot of the Blood in those succeptible to it.
- Syphon - Yashiro can channel energy and transfer it to his master.
- Orochi Energy - Yashiro can use energy from Orochi and transform it into a raw state, making him able to create a pillar of energy, on which a skull appears. He uses it to finish his opponent off.
Fighting Style[]
Yashiro leaves his striking style and gains an entirely grappling-based style, using his now acquired super strength to help him in battle. He mimics Goro Daimon's moves to an extent while maintaining his agility, being his counterpart.

Trivia[]
- The inspiration for his Orochi name was taken from the ending song of Combat Mecha Xabungle.
- Similar to Ralf Jones Galactica Phantom, Orochi Yashiro's Armageddon is based on the move Kaoru Hanayama used in his fight against Spec from the manga/anime series Baki the Grappler.
- In regards to such a move, it is never in the same game as his Hoeru Daichi DM. As a result, Orochi Yashiro's entire list of both specials and DMs/supers has only one DM or uniquely-named move out of the rest that can even hit an airborne foe.
- Like the other Four Kings, all of his moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet.
- His theme in KOF XV also is written in this alphabet.
