'''Kyo-1''' ({{Furigana|草薙|くさなぎ}} {{Furigana|京|きょう}}-1, ''Kusanagikyō - 1'') is a video game character in ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' series who is one of [[Kyo Kusanagi|Kyo Kusanagi's]] many clones.

==Development==
In ''[[The King of Fighters '99]]'', two clones of [[Kyo Kusanagi]] appeared as selectable characters: '''Kyo-1''' and '''[[Kyo-2]]'''. The original Kyo was redesigned for the game, but some designers wanted his return to ''KOF '99'' with his iconic school uniform. When they were nearing the end of their production schedule, staff members were indecisive upon which uniform the Kyo clone should wear ([[The King of Fighters '94|''KOF '94'']] or [[The King of Fighters '95|''KOF '95'']]) when the project head said to just make two clones instead. To save time, the project head then drew designs for Kyo-1 and Kyo-2 on the spot.<ref>https://kofaniv.snk-corp.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=kyo-1</ref>

==Story==
During the course of ''The King of Fighters '99'', Kyo-1 and Kyo-2 were merely two of thousands ready to be activated by [[Krizalid]]. They were presumably destroyed, since both characters don't have a personal ending and don't belong to any team. They return in ''[[The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match]]'' as part of the Clone Team along with [[Kusanagi]], only to presumably test their opponents and eliminate Kyo.

==Personality==
Kyo-1 is more serious than Kyo-2, hates Kyo Kusanagi, and doesn't underestimate any of his opponents.

==Powers==
*'''Pyrokinesis''' - Kyo-1 has control over fire except for those he didn't create.
**'''Create Fire''' - Kyo-1 can create fire from thin air.
**'''Fire Attacks''' - Kyo-1 can throw balls of fire.
**'''Fire Projectile''' - Kyo-1 can fire a projectile of fire through the ground.

==Fighting Style==
His fighting style is based on Kyo's fighting style during ''The King of Fighters '94'' and ''The King of Fighters '95 '', though heavily modified and arranged. Like Kyo-2, Kyo-1 does not possess any method numbering like the original Kyo does, and his ''Oniyaki'' (Ogre Baker) is notably replaced by a variation of the original Kyo's ''Batsu Yomi'' (Punishment Recital) known as the ''Aoki'' (Pale Ogre). And compared to Kusanagi and Kyo-2, Kyo-1's attacks are more original with moves like the ''Kurogami'' (Black Bite; a flameless ''Aragami''-style punch not unlike [[Shingo Yabuki|Shingo]]'s ''Aragami Mikansei'') and ''Suishin'' (Crest Swing; a simple elbow drop derived from the ''Yanosabi''/Eight Rusts); even a flameless version of the original Kyo's ''Migiri Ugachi'' (Momentary Driller).

His new DM and MAX2DM/HSDM in ''The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match'' resemble [[Terry Bogard|Terry]]'s [[Terry Bogard/Move list|Power Wave]] and [[Saisyu Kusanagi]]'s ''Tsumugari'' (All-Eyes Reaper), respectively. His DM is known as the ''Shutenbarai'' (Vermilion Heaven Sweeper), and with his HSDM/MAX2 being a ''Dokugami''-to-''Orochinagi'' combo known as the ''Ame no Habakiri'' (Feathery Slash of Heaven), which is a Shintou mythology reference. This predates EX Kyo's ''Saishuu Kessen Hiougi: Totsuka'' (Final Play-Off Hidden Secret Skill: Ten Fists) in ''[[The King of Fighters XIII]]'', as the ''Totsuka-no-Tsurugi'' (Sword-of-Ten Fists) is also known as both the ''Ame-no-Habakiri'' and the ''Ame-no-Ohabari'' (Tail Feather String-of-Heaven).

==Music==
*'''[[Esaka#Esaka ~Acid Mix~|Esaka ~Acid Mix~]]''' - The King of Fighters '99
*'''Niritsuhaihan (Antinomy) ~Mutually Exclusive Dichotomy~''' - The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match

==Voice Actors==
*[[Masahiro Nonaka]] - The King of Fighters '99~2002 UM
*[[Tomoaki Maeno]] - The King of Fighters All Star

==Game Appearances==
*[[The King of Fighters '99]] - potential special boss
*[[The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match]] - potential mid-boss

===Cameo Appearances===
*[[Days of Memories]] (fourth title) - in-text cameo; mentioned as one of Krizalid's minions
