![]() She was ironically saved by Iori from being kidnapped by NESTS's minions. During the NESTS saga, she remains unaware of NESTS involvement with Kyo or the reasons for his disappearance. Yuki is left unaware of her involvement and is still ignorant of the history of her family line.ĭespite fan theories of her death at the end of King of Fighters '97, Yuki survived the ordeal and continues her life in Japan. The Three Sacred Treasures Team (Kyo, Iori Yagami and Chizuru Kagura) foil this plan by interrupting the process early, forcing Orochi to possess the body of Chris. Her heritage as the last sacrificial maiden of their lord was a necessity for his physical body to come into being. On her way to the last date she'd have with Kyo prior to King of Fighters '97, Yashiro Nanakase and his teammates Chris and Shermie (whom she briefly met some time ago in a TV station) kidnapped her with intentions of using her as a sacrifice for Orochi's resurrection. Her namesake is Japanese actress, Yuki Uchida, who was popular at the time of her conception. By this point, what started as a joke on Kyo's popularity had, in SNK's words, grown "from a one-dimensional filler to a full-fledged character". Yuki's seiyū, Tomoko Kojima, was chosen out of the four finalists.įollowing her voice debut in The King of Fighters '97, Yuki went on to appear on the now defunct radio programs, Neo Chupi and Neo Geo DJ Station, and continues to be mentioned in Kyo's back story in select games. Seiyū from the series were also there to open the ceremonies and to announce the progression of the event, with Kunihiko Yasui, Monster Maezuka, Yukina Kurisu (Athena's seiyū at the time), and Masahiro Nonaka there to inspire participants. Ladies were asked to improvise their lines in front of the development team for the game and the series's voice director. A total of 1,534 young women participated, 400 of them being fans of the series and 16 of them also named Yuki. On June 15, 1997, SNK held an open audition for Yuki's seiyū for her cameo in King of Fighters '97, hoping to also use her in future drama CDs and other merchandise. ![]() Since then, she began to appear as a recognizable character in officially sponsored fan dōjinshi. A video game based on the manga was also created during the comic's publication, revealing another shade to her character. Her character persona became more fleshed out in the spin-off manga The King of Fighters: Kyo, illustrated by mangaka Masato Natsumoto. By 19, Yuki began to have cameos in several official illustrations alongside Kyo and his teammates, drawn by the series's main illustrator at the time, Shinkiro. Her addition to his profile was added by one of the programmers mostly as a joke since Kyo was more popular with female gamers (some of them being yaoi fans) than male ones. ![]() Originally, Yuki was not meant to be conceptualized, since her first mention ever in the King of Fighters story was in Kyo's profile as one of his most cherished possessions.
