Personality

First Name: Rose
Second Name: Anne
Last Name: Abud
Extra name: Luna
Stage Name: Iori Yagami
Age: 21
Fighting Style:
Slashing Hands: Iori specializes in clawing martial arts, and most of his moves are in the form of clawing strikes.
Pyrokinesis: Due to his Yagami heritage, Iori can control fire. He can create a bright purple fire from thin air, create fire balls, deliver punches of fire, create pillars of fire and put his own body on fire. His fire also has the sacred ability to put enemies in a stasis-like state. He is not immune to other types of fire. He cannot control other fires that he didn't create. Iori can also occasionally wield crimson flames due to the presence of the former Yasakani clan's power, although he does not have the ability to create them intentionally (they appear at random times, usually when Iori is using his sacred ability to seal an Orochi
Riot of the Blood: Thanks to the pact his clan made with Orochi, Iori goes into this state whenever Orochi's presence is strong. While in this form, his eyes are dilated, his back is hunched, and his skin adopts a shade of violet. He is mostly incoherent, frequently screaming "Kyooo!" during fights. He becomes stronger and faster in exchange for his sanity.

Skills
Musical Instrument: Iori plays the bass guitar very well, and is seen playing guitar as well in some incarnations.
Fighting Style
Iori fights with the Yasakani style of ancient martial arts, which is a violent offensive style incorporating use of claws. He uses his instincts to fight as well. Like the other two clans, Iori's moves/clan techniques are numbered in a personal "style/method" order. The only move Iori ever shared with Kyo is the 108 Shiki: Yami Barai. Though Kyo later discards it in favor of his chain punching style, making the two vastly different from each other.
Iori's "Riot of the Blood" super in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum looks identical to the scene shown in his KOF 96 ending when he killed Mature and Vice.

His Desperation Move: Ya Sakazuki/Reverse Method 108: Eight Cups of Wine", is based off of the Orochi legend when each of Orochi's eight heads drank a cup of wine; each cup would then leave each a head drunk and unconscious. Since it is a "Reverse Method" move, it serves Iori's direct counterpart of Kyo's Ura 108 Shiki: Orochinagi/Reverse Method 108: Great Serpent Mower as both are derived from the Yama Barai.

His last and most well known super is based off the legend when Orochi had eaten eight maidens who were daughters of Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi. The move often composes of eight blows, barring the finisher. Iori uses it often as his signature DM attack. It is also the very technique which most of the Yagami several years ago used against the Kusanagi.

In terms of gameplay, Iori is a powerful rushdown character with highly damaging combos. Players would need to be careful as failing to master Iori would prevent using him to his full potential. His most popular command normal, Geshiki: Yuri Ori (Foreign Method: Lily Cage), is a backwards kick that's meant only for crossing up making Iori unique in this aspect. In most games as of KOF 98, Iori can use it in a backdash for a quick getaway. From there, Iori conned the discovery of certain midair attacks being available during a backdash, such as Kyo's Geshiki: Naraku Otoshi (Foreign Method: Abyssal Drop) and Robert's Hien Ryuujin Kyaku (Flying Dragon God Kick).

His Kuzukaze/Scrap Wind/Scum Gale was also a unique kind of attack during its time as it was a throw that did no damage, and allowed Iori for a quick combo and provided massive pressure setups via tick throwing. His moveset was fairly limited compared to Kyo's but more easy to access. Because of his high potential overshadowing most of his weaknesses if played right, Iori is generally seen as top-tier in several of his appearances.

The loss of his flames has little effect on Iori's fighting capabilities, unlike Chizuru, who was completely unable to engage in any form of combat without the power of the Yata mirror. If anything, Iori actually appears somewhat faster in KOF XII, and his combos also seem to have become easier to chain with a slightly higher priority. Most of his classic moveset is replaced by new techniques from his clan's martial arts, even his old flameless attacks. His Neo Max in KOF XIII is called Kin 1218 Shiki: Yatagarasu (Forbidden Method 1218: Eight-Span Crow), a reference to the legendary creature of the same name. The fact that it is also a "forbidden" technique may be that it was another move conned from the war of the Yagami and Kusanagi, like the Ya Otome In gameplay, Iori is still kicking with his high damage and strong combos like before, though he has a different way of how most of his combos work.

His "With Flames" version appears though some of this version's original touches have been stripped of for somewhat better balance compared to his default flamless version.

Also, Iori's San Shingi no Ni is the very attack used to pin down Orochi in which Kyo manages to followup the finishing blow in the Sacred Treasures Team's ending of KOF 97. The very sequence is seen in Kyo and Iori's Special D-Assault in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. Also, the technique is often named "?????" in Orochi Iori's moveset.

Iori is a very serious, blunt, and direct-to-the-point mysterious character. In various drama CDs, Iori is frequently tormented by an Orochi identity that resides within her, which mocks and belittles her as its master. Iori answers it with irritated responses until it angers her, causing her to physically react in a usually violent manner. In her profile, he seems to have trouble knowing which identity is actually her and suffers from a slight identity crisis. It's due to this personal trait that she doesn't like to associate with others and she lives a lonely existence. However, she still retains pride for her name and won't let herself die under any circumstances.

She seems to want to kill her rival at every opportunity they meet, but she also can't recall the reasons why she hates Kyo. Like her rival, she doesn't care about the ancient family feud between them and just seems to instinctively hate him. Iori is also wary of Kyo's father, Saisyu Kusanagi, the man Iori erroneously blames for her own father's death, in spite of her knowledge of her family's curse. Iori is plainly unwilling to accept help from Saisyu despite the latter claims that he wants to save Iori, and not kill her. Unlike Chizuru, the matter of losing her flames has not personally scarred or affected her in anyway. Ironically, despite having a violent personality, Iori hates violence. Though it could be he sees it as a "necessary evil".

History

BIO:

Iori is the born enemy of Kyo Kusanagi. The Yagami clan originally helped seal Orochi, but later made a pact with it. This gave them greater power, but shortened their lives. Iori joins KOF simply to fight Kyo. Before the King of Fighters '96 tournament, Iori is visited by Vice and Mature. They tell him about Kyo entering the tournament and try convincing him to join as well. After a brief fight, Iori agrees to enter, once the two submit to be his servants. Iori intends to use them to help him kill Kyo. Vice and Mature agree, but are still following Goenitz's orders.

Before the events of KOF '97, Iori learns of Kyo entering the tournament from the local news. Later that night, he has a nightmare about two women mocking his inability to defeat Kyo. The women disappear and promise him they'll meet again soon. When he wakes up, he coughs up blood. Filled with a sudden hate and rage, Iori declares to defeat his rival. However, at tournament finals, he ends up joining Kyo and Chizuru to defeat Goenitz. During the battle, Chizuru dies and leaves a warning to not underestimate the power of Orochi or Yagami. Vice and Mature are left shaken by the ill omen. It is then when Iori suddenly undergoes symptoms of the Riot of the Blood (When Iori loses control of his Orochi blood, he enters a stage called Riot of the Blood AKA Orochi Iori). Unable to control this surge of Orochi power, Iori violently attacks and defeats his companions.

Iori advances to the finals, where he confronts the remaining "Four Heavenly Kings" of Orochi, Yashiro Nanakase, Shermie and Chris. When they are beaten, Orochi possesses Chris' body and attempts to destroy the three clans at once. As was done in the legends of their clans, the trio successfully defeat him. In a last-ditch effort, Orochi causes Iori to enter the Riot of Blood, expecting him to turn on Kyo and Chizuru. Instead, Iori snares Orochi by the neck, and Kyo obliges his rival by crippling the great demon with one last deathblow, allowing Chizuru to reseal Orochi.

In KOF 2000, an agent named Seth invites Iori to join his team for the next tournament, under the presumption that he would get a chance to face Kyo if he enters. Iori tells him that teamwork was irrelevant, because he could take on whole teams by himself.

In KOF 2003, Iori reluctantly teams up again with Kyo and Chizuru at the request of Chizuru, because it seemed that the current tournament might be linked to the Orochi. After their battle with Mukai, Ash Crimson stole Chizuru's powers. Ash then makes an offer of servitude to Iori, who answers with a fierce attack. With the defeat of Chizuru and the crippled Orochi seal spelling possible catastrophe, it seemed that the Yagami clan would soon be changed forever.

In KOF XI, Iori agrees on Chizuru's request to team up with Kyo and Shingo Yabuki in hopes of opposing Ash. At the end of the tournament, the strengthening presence of Orochi caused Iori to enter the Riot of Blood, in which he seriously injured Kyo and Shingo. Afterwatds, Ash Crimson appeared and stole Iori's sacred treasure, the Yasakani no Magatama, and his power. Iori could no longer wield his trademark purple flames.

Before the KOF XIII tournament, Iori pays a visit to Chizuru to see if she needs her treasure to use her power. Realizing that his predictions are true, she presents Iori with the prospect of ridding the Orochi curse from his bloodline since he is no longer hindered by his treasure. Uninterested in rectifying his family's mistake, he remarks that Chizuru's mirror will return in due time and leaves. With Mature and Vice haunting him to join the tournament with them, they perk his interest to settle matters with Ash.

In the tournament climax, Iori regains his magatama once Ash disappears. Mature and Vice remarks that he can still choose to refuse the treasure, saving himself from the Orochi curse once and for all. He questions what will happen to his teammates if he should accept the treasure again, but they voice that he should choose whatever he thinks is right. Therefore, he mercilessly regains his flames and his teammates disappear once more from the mortal realm. Back in action, he challenges Kyo to an undecided outcome.
