Yashiro Nanakase has been revealed for King of Fighters 15 in the new trailer released by SNK. We’ll see his game during the new trailer.
Yashiro made his debut in The King of Fighters ’97. You can’t play in a King of Fighters title since The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, so watching his return to King of Fighters 15 is quite a treat.
During one of the King of Fighters tournaments, the Orochi blood inside Yashiro woke up. He then worked diligently to gather the energy of the fighters in an attempt to resurrect Orochi.
Eventually, Yashiro and Shermie ended up committing suicide to transfer their energy to Chris, who acted as Orochi’s host. The Three Sacred Treasures (Kyo, Iori and Chizuru) worked together to re-seal Orochi.
The defeat of Verse in King of Fighters 14 has apparently led to the recovery of many characters, such as Yashiro Nanakase. This provides a possible explanation for why Chizuru has returned as a playable character in King of Fighters, and why Kyo and Iori work together on Team Sacred Treasures.
