Yagami Iori

Iori Yagami (八神 庵, Yagami Iori) is a character who made his first appearance in The King of Fighters '95. He is a central recurring character, and the initial enemy (and eventual rival) of Kyo Kusanagi.

He is the heir to one of the three clans that sealed the legendary snake entity, Orochi, 1,800 years ago. His clan, formerly known as the Yasakani (八尺瓊, Yasakani), wields pyrokinetic powers. They keep the seal over Orochi intact with help from the Kusanagi and Yata clans using three ancient artifacts. His family's treasure is the Yasakani Jewel (八尺瓊曲玉, Yasakani no Magatama) and his family crest is the crescent moon, which he wears on the back of his old jacket. He also wears a plain silver ring around his left middle finger; the significance of the ring, if any, is unknown.

His official nickname is Flame of the End (終焉の炎, Shūen no honō). In XII and XIII it's Unbridled Instinct (解き放たれし 本能, Tokihanatareshi Honnou) and with his flames; Iori who has Recovered His Flames (炎 を 取り戻した 庵, Honoo wo Tomoridoshita Iori).

Aside from the main body of the King of Fighters series, Iori features his own drama CD and character image album. His character is also a member of SNK's character image band, Band of Fighters and he also appears as a regular antagonist in the spin-off manga, The King of Fighters: Kyo. Part Time Stories: Kyo & Iori also co-star him and Kyo working together at SNK for the promotion of the company's merchandise.

The Slow Rumble
After months of laughing at the absolute state of table matches across the world, Iori decided to join The Slow Rumble to not only prove his table superiority, but to also humiliate his rival by killing him with a table.

But, is he the one who truly reigns supreme among the kingdom of tables?
