Historical Background (SNK IP & KOF ’98 UM)

• The Franchise: The King of Fighters is one of the most famous arcade fighting game franchises in history, created by SNK. KOF ’98 Ultimate Match is widely considered one of the most balanced and celebrated entries in the entire series, bringing together a massive roster of iconic characters.

• Yashiro Nanakase & The Orochi Team: Yashiro was originally introduced as the charismatic, guitar-playing leader of the “New Faces Team” (alongside Shermie and Chris). However, their true identity is the Orochi Team. Yashiro is one of the “Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi,” ancient beings dedicated to resurrecting the dark god Orochi to cleanse the world. In combat, he relies on devastating, heavy-hitting strikes and grappling techniques. He also holds a deep, bitter rivalry with another iconic KOF character, Iori Yagami, due to their competing music bands.
