History
According to his official biography, K9999 has no actual birthdate. He stands 1.68 m (5 ft 5 in) and weighs 58 kg (128 lb). His blood type is B, his favorite food is peanuts, he has no favorite sport, and his hobby is working on bicycles. He hates orders and those who give them, and his fighting style is his sheer power and "The Awakening."
After his battle with Orochi (King of Fighters 97), Kyo Kusanagi was captured by NESTS and was subsequently experimented upon; they extracted DNA from his body with hopes of copying his power. The product of this research led to the creation of a group of biological weapons that could emulate Kyo's abilities.
One of the clones was K', a loner who had left NESTS to search for his past and to discover his future. To counter this, an 'anti-K' was created. This entity was named Kula Diamond, her genetic tampering enabled her to use ice in the same way K' used fire.
Oddly enough, Krizalid was actually cloned from K's genetic code (thus explaining why he had memories of Whip and believed that she was his sister); he was killed in King of Fighters 99. After the failure of Krizalid and the disappearance of K', NESTS decided to comb their research for errors. All of their creations were born from normal people with pre-existing and conflicting genes - what they needed was a malleable entity, from which they would build the perfect clone.
That was the premise behind the creation of K9999. Built from the ground up, K9999 wielded an exorbitant amount of power. His main purpose was to dispatch the rogue creations that had escaped from NESTS' grasp.
Personality
Though K9999 loathed his existence and detested social contact, he found a friend in a female named Angel. Angel was an agent of NESTS and was more interested in K9999's emotions than his possible potential. A man not to be tampered with, K9999 has a short temper and is easily driven to violence.
Trivia
- K9999 is based on Tetsuo Shima from Akira. He has Tetsuo's hairstyle and wears a similar cloak. His ability to transform his arm into a long tentacle closely resembles Tetsuo's mutations and Nozomu Sasaki voices both characters.
- Eolith (who took up the rights of SNK's most popular franchise starting with KOF 2001), owns the copyrights for the following KOF characters; K9999, Angel, and Jinju "May" Lee. SNK has broken ties with them so we will most likely not see another KOF game with them in it unless they get rights to them. However, May Lee and Angel will appear in The King of Fighters: Neo Wave which seems to indicate that SNK did get the rights to them.
- K9999 is the first character to adopt a triple button (PPP/KKK) type super, which is usually seen in the Capcom games.
