Ryo Sakazaki
Takuma Sakazaki has retired from the fighting ranks, either bored from the lack of competition or succumbing to the effects of old age and retiring with him was the Kyokugen entry in the King of Fighters. The team could not carry on with only two members to the relief of Ryo and Robert who could not stand to enter again with the bickering old man. The invitations made their rounds as they did every year and Takuma got a hold of his. The King of Fighters...? Oh, no. Not this again... But wait! Who's this on the fighters roster? None other than Mr. Big, an old enemy of the Sakazakis that had eluded them long ago. With the resurfacing of Mr. Big, Takuma was motivated to un-retire send the Kyokugen group and go off to do battle once again... However, Takuma is enjoying his lacksadaisal life style and instead orders his daughter Yuri Sakazaki to join the boys in his place. With a heavy heart, Yuri abandons her group of female fighters and joins her brother in the hunt for Mr. Big and, if they just happened to win and show everyone Kyokugen's might along the way, all the better.
Ryo Sakazaki | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
The heir to Kyokugenryu and the Sakazaki legacy, Ryo is known and feared as the Tiger of Extreme. Ryo is a proud man and is friendly man, but also stubborn. He objects to his sister Yuri's entry because he cares for her very much and does not want her to get hurt fighting. Ryo trains hard to live up to his father Takuma's expectations. He is also interested in King, but thinks he cannot keep her attention. (read bio)

Yuri Sakazaki | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Yuri Sakazaki is the younger daughter of Takuma Sakazaki and sister of Ryo Sakazaki. Yuri always looked up to her father and worked hard, hoping to someday be just as strong, but Ryo never accepted the idea of his sister training. She felt sold short when they teamed up with Robert Garcia to enter the King of Fighters and so formed her own team until she was finally accepted the Kyokugen men. (read bio)

Defeat of Boss Team
Chizuru Congratulations. A wonderful match.
Ryo Who are you?
Chizuru I'm the one holding this tournament. It's too bad. I thought I'd see the power that destroyed Rugal!
Ryo You know Rugal!?
Robert How do you know about that?
Chizuru That's not important. Know this, Rugal self-destructed. You were more lucky than strong.
Ryo Just what do you mean by that! Who the heck are you?
Chizuru My name is Kagura, the Guardian.
Yuri The Guardian?
Chizuru I want to see your true power, but if you've done your best, we'll part company now. What do you say?

Defeat of Kagura
Ryo Now, how do you know Rugal and who are you?
Chizuru I am the protector of the dark power... The sealed off Orochi power that Rugal tried to sieze...
Robert The Orochi power? Did Rugal release it?
Chizuru No, Rugal only siphoned some of the power when it was freed by another. He never knew that power would finally destroy him.
Yuri So what does that have to do with us fighting you?
Chizuru You defeated the mighty Rugal. To see your true power, I held this tournament. As I thought, you won. Next I had to test you myself.
Yuri Why?
Chizuru Because there's little time left to seal off the Orochi Power. I need your help. I feel him coming!
Ryo Who's coming?
Chizuru The man who took Rugal's right eye and released the Orochi power!
Robert Rugal's right eye?
Ryo W, what's this wind?
Chizuru I know it's an unreasonable request, but you must stop him. You just might do it! Please!

Goenitz As I thought, no more than a few flies in my web.
Ryo Is this your doing?
Robert Who is this clown?
Goenitz This clown is Goenitz and your Kyokugen won't help now. I normally don't touch trash like you, but I'll make an exception. My noble hands will dispose of you. Quite an honor, huh?
Ryo Are you dissing Kyokugen?
Yuri Ryo, he's dissing us!
Robert Like Yuri says, we're being dissed and dis ain't good!
Goenitz Hah! Nonsense!

Defeat of Goenitz
Goenitz It seems I played around just a little too much... Kagura, your warriors were too much for me... But you will never seal off the Orochi power again. Give it up now, while you still can.
Chizuru Don't flatter yourself, ugly. The Orochi power is as good as locked away!
Goenitz You vain fools... Oh, a fine wind blows. My time has come.
Terry Hey, you're not getting away!
Goenitz No, I'm not... I'm dying, you idiot! I'm being called away... to Heaven!

Goenitz What a surprise... eh, Kagura? You guys really know your stuff! But you will never seal off the Orochi power again. Give it up now, while you still can.
Chizuru Don't flatter yourself, ugly. The Orochi power is as good as locked away!
Goenitz You vain fools... Oh, a fine wind blows. My time has come.
Ryo You're not getting away.
Goenitz No, I'm being called away... to Heaven!
Ryo What was up with that guy?
Yuri Hey, the woman's gone, too.
Robert What? I just don't get it!
Yuri Who cares! We won, right?
Rober Yeah, you're right. Huh, Ryo? We should inform the master.
Yuri Yeah, dad will be glad to hear from us
Ryo Ah, I guess so. Let's go home!
Takuma Ryo! Yuri! Robert!
Ryo, Robert Did you hear something?
Yuri I, I don't believe it!
Takuma Ha, ha, ha! Wacka, wacka, wubba, wubba! The Legendary Mr. Karate is here!
Ryo What are you doing, Dad?
Yuri Yeah, what's the deal?
Robert Master, it's not Halloween.
Takuma I'm not your master, I'm the Legendary Mr. Karate! I saw your little battle. You did the Kyokugen proud. But you don't understand all of Kyokugen and a whole bunch of people who are aching to teach you what's what!
Robert Hey, Ryo! Let's amscray!
Takuma Hey, all of you, listen up...
Ryo But Dad's not finished. I wonder what's with the silly mask!
Yuri Oh, let him babble on! He'll never miss us!
Robert Yeah, Ryo. If we don't get out of here, we'll have to bear his preaching
Ryo You're right. Okay, a discreet exit. Stage left!
Takuma ...and that's why you must keep training to understand... Hey, where...? They got away!
