The King of Fighters '94 - Japan Team Arcade Gameplay

The classic formation of this team occurred when Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon met during one of the Japanese qualifiers for the KOF tournament, which at the time was organized by criminal/drug cartel leader Rugal Bernstein. Kyo, heir of the Kusanagi clan, one of those who sealed the entity known as Orochi, won the first place, followed by Benimaru and Daimon. The team led by Kyo (and his variations) had, as one of his main missions, prevent the imminent return of Orochi.
