KOF XV Team K' Artwork

Team K' (K'ケイ・ダッシュチーム) is a reoccuring 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 them. 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 exclusive of this story arc, this team (along with every teams who participated in those tournaments, between classic and new formations) 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 (this team included).

In every formation, K' and Maxima have always been together, and have receive other characters to join them. From KOF XI until KOF XIV, Kula Diamond has been part of the team (after the NESTS downfall), but after a grudge with K' before the events of KOF XV, she left the team. With this, the team goes back to the first and classic trio formation, started canonically in KOF 2003 (as already mentioned).
