Kenshiro
Voice Actors: Clayton Alexander (EN), Shunsuke Takeuchi (JA)
Post-apocalyptic saviour with seven distinctive scars carved onto his chest. As sole successor to the ultimate assassination art, Hokuto Shinken, he treads a perilous path; indeed, a dangerous yearning for Hokuto Shinken by forces unknown is what calls him to the forsaken City of the Wolves in the first place.Though worlds collide and divide, Kenshiro's crusade against evil never wavers. To the weak, lost, and broken, he extends a helping hand; to those who prey on them, he metes out merciless justice.
New stories in Arcade Mode and EOST (Episodes of South Town)
Arcade:
Kenshiro stirs and slowly takes in the unfamiliar surroundings. This is not the desolate urban wilderness he calls home, but a modern-day metropolis: South Town. A city where the weak suffer and tyrants run rampant. Kenshiro clenches his fists and (together with like-minded heroes Terry, Hokutomaru, and Hotaru) pledges to enter the new King of Fighters tournament. He has but one goal: to confront Wolfgang Krauser, who treats the city as his own personal dominion.
EOST (solo RPG mode):
Kenshiro wakes in South Town and meets Terry, Mai, and other resident fighters. Then it dawns on him: a mysterious miasma permeates the city streets, and it's up to him to find out why. Steeling his resolve, the post-apocalyptic warrior sets off into the darkness that is the City of the Wolves.
