Chris - Team OROCHI
KOF 97 introduces him as the first character. Like Yashiro and Shermie, SNK has infused Japanese mythology into the character of Team OROCHI. His fast, flexible attack method makes it easy for opponents to fail to respond. In contrast with Yashiro's tough attack, there is a strong contrast.
It is also worth noting that Chris has an awakened form. Once awakened, he manipulates fire and uses the same purple flame as Iroi, while changing his attack methods too. In addition to being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of OROCHI, he is also the medium through which OROCHI is brought to his throne.
