Shermie, Chris
A little known fact is that the New Faces Team traveled to America and stole their invitations to the 1997 King of Fighters from the USA Team of Lucky Glauber, Heavy D!, and Brian Battler, a half-way explanation of the absence of playable versions of these characters in that edition of the King of Fighters depsite their random appearance in the China Background. The group of CYS, the name their band is known by, also comprises Three of the the Four Heavenly Kings, members of the Orochi clan who wield the powers of the elements. The Fourth? Goenitz, the boss that appears in 1996 and controls the winds.
Yashiro Nanakase | 97 | 98 | 00 |
Yashiro is a proud, arrogant man who thinks that his good looks rival his own fighting skills. He never seems to tire after fights. Yashiro also likes to make fun of his opponent's inferioirity and does not like to be accompanied by weaklings. His passion lies in his music and his friendship with Chris and Shermie. His path is to follow his duty as one of the Four Heavenly Kings and sacrifice his life for Orochi. (read bio)

Shermie | 97 | 98 | 00 |
Shermie was a young, care free woman who lived in France until she met Yashiro Nanakase. She is an attractive woman and very unaware of it, exploiting her looks to her advantage. Shermie mesmerizes her opponents to get in close enough to slam them on the floor. Her fate was determined by her Orochi blood which dindicate that she would take her place as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. (read bio)

Chris | 97 | 98 | 00 |
Chris is a small child who dislikes being treated like one! Farily anti-social, his only friends are Yashiro and Shermie. Chris likes to fight for fun, not for the love of violence. He enjoys mocking his opponent's skills and, sometimes, his own. Like his teammates, Chris is one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Moreover, his body has also been chosen to be the host vessel to carry Orochi. (read bio)
