Returning from beyond the grave, Yashiro Nanakase makes a comeback as a playable character in King of Fighters 15. This character has always been a power hitter with his aggressive fighting style and versatile moves. Players who just want to brawl can look forward to including Yashiro in their team.
Who Is Yashiro Nanakase in King of Fighters?
In his first appearance in King of Fighters 97, Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris awakened to their Orochi bloodline and started to carry on their duty in the tournament with the goal of reviving the ancient evil God Orochi. The three weree successful in reviving Orochi but at the price of their demise. Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru were successful in sealing Orochi away, but they could do nothing else for Yashiro and his crew.
After King of Fighters 14 events, Yashiro and the rest of Team Orochi has been revived and have subsequently joined the next tournament. We've yet to know if the team is up to no good and plan to revive Orochi this time around, though.
