Kyo Kusanagi is the leader of the Hero Team. He is the rival of Iori Yagami.

Story[]

During the tournament when the Hero Team fought the Rugal Team Benimaru became enraged when Ranko managed to break his nose and tried to kill her. In retaliation she fired a Reppuu Ken point blank at his face mutilating him. Upon seeing his friends unrecognizable face Kyo became furious though much to his surprise Ranko went down after only one punch. Knowing that it shouldn’t have been that easy no matter how injured she was he asked her why she dropped the fight. Her answer was that she wanted it to be a fair fight. As he was trying to figure out what she meant, Ranko reach her corner and patted Iori on the shoulder telling him to have fun.

At first Kyo started defending himself waiting for Iori to wear himself out. Only to find out that Yagami had improved beyond anything he thought possible. He was faster and stronger than before, and also had a better technique. His mind also reminded him it was the first time Iori managed a clean shot at him, without having to fight someone else before that. There was also the fact that Iori had seen each and every one of his special techniques, as well as the fact that Iori's special techniques were faster in coming out. As he thought of something to due this distraction lead to the crippling of his left arm.

Despite this Kyo refused to give up respecting this Iori allowed the fight to be turned into a battle of will. Whoever couldn't keep pumping energy into his attack would die. Ultimately Iori proved superior and ripped out Kyo’s windpipe.

Personality[]

Kyo is over-confident but well meaning, more interested in enjoying life than having to partake in any particular responsibilities. He is quick to dismiss subjects that don't interest him and will often carry out his actions with a devil-may-care attitude. Despite his seemingly arrogant and rude demeanor, he treasures his friends and family, enjoying their presence and particularly doting on his girlfriend, Yuki. His extreme disinterest in studies has led to his chronic inability to graduate from high school. Although he is confident in his poetic talent, most of his poems aren't considered to be good by his listeners.

Kyo takes his clan's responsibilities on a more personal level, disregarding ancient legends and predestined events as any reason for his actions. His strong sense of justice and his zeal to fight stronger opponents are what he believes to drive him to carry out his destiny. His rivalry with Iori Yagami is one of mutual hatred and was hardly spurred by their clans' history, and partly due to Iori's prior aggression. When Kyo and Iori join forces, it is often begrudgingly and as a last resort solution to the conflict at hand, with seemingly no desire to seek lasting and mutual peace, particularly on Kyo's part. It is for this reason Chizuru watches over both men.

Powers[]

*Pyrokinesis - Due to his Kusanagi heritage, Kyo can control fire. He can create fire from thin air, create fire balls, deliver punches of fire, create pillars of fire and put his own body on fire. However, he is neither immune to other types of fire nor able to control other fires that he didn't create. Also, the flames he wields are nothing more than just ordinary fire: it does not have the mystical 'trapping' ability of Iori's purple holy flames.

Skills[]

*Motorcycle Driving - Kyo likes to ride his motorcycle around the streets of Japan. Some official pictures depict Kyo driving a scooter.

*Poetry - Kyo likes to write poetry as a hobby, though his poetry is generally not much liked by his listeners.

*Ice Hockey - Although representing the element of fire, Kyo likes ice hockey.

*Musical Instrument - Kyo is also an accomplished guitarist.

Fighting Style[]

Kyo fights using the Kusanagi style of ancient martial arts, a Japanese style of empty handed combat taught only to the Kusanagi clan members. Like most of the clan members in modern times, these are labeled as Method/Style with numbers; numbers that actually use alternate kanji different from their originals. These examples are 108 Shiki: Yami Barai (Method 108: Darkness Sweeper), etc. with "Reverse Methods" being stronger versions of other attacks such as Kyo's signature, Ura 108 Shiki: Orochinagi (Reverse Method 108: Great Serpent Mower) being an example. In some sources, this even applies to his "unnamed" normal attacks. Kyo also knows Kenpo, and uses it in most of his normal attacks.
