KUSANAGI
One of the characters from [[The King of Fighters]] series of fighting games developed by [[SNK]]. He is voiced by [[Iwata Mitsuo]].

He was believed by many fans to have been originally created as a NESTS experiment, mainly a clone of [[Kusanagi Kyou]], due to a special intro he has with [[K9999]]. This introduction is, in fact, an homage to [[AKIRA (manga)|]] as both K9999 and Kusanagi have the same voice actors as [[Shima Tetsuo|Tetsuo]] and [[Kaneda Shoutarou (akira)|Kaneda]] respectively.

His actual backstory in [[the King of Fighters 2003|KOF 2003]] reveals him to be a product of [[Kagura Chizuru]]'s magic, used to test the strength of the tournament's contestants. His evil appearance is possibly due to the fact that he was created by Chizuru while under the control of [[Mukai (KoF)|]] (the leader of the KOF 2003 operation) and [[Botan (kof)|]] (the puppeteer controlling Chizuru).
