Kyo is the heir of the Kusanagi clan, one of the three ancient families that once sealed away the serpent god Orochi. He possesses a natural ability to control fire. His main rival is Iori Yagami; however, despite their long-standing hostility, Kyo is ready to join forces with him in order to fight common threats.
Kyo Kusanagi is a self-confident and at times brash person who prefers to enjoy life. In battle, he uses the "ancient Kusanagi-style martial arts" combined with elements of kenpo.
