Kensou Sie

He is one of the young disciples of Chin Gentsai who wields psychic powers dubbed by SNK as Psycho Powers. Both he and Athena are trained by Chin to prepare for the worst case scenario of oncoming evil and use the tournaments as a method of training for such an event. Plans go awry when Kensou loses his powers in The King of Fighters 99 yet saves Athena with a previously unknown latent energy. It is later revealed to be the Dragon Spirit Ry no ki a power he somehow shares with younger teammate Bao. He regains his powers and masters this newer power in The King of Fighters XI much to the satisfaction of former NESTS member Ron. The deeper meaning of the Dragon Spirits importance has yet to be revealed. Its probable that the Dragon Spirit is a reference to Kensous ability to morph into a dragon from Psycho Soldier. Goofy outgoing and jovial Kensou wants to live his young years to their fullest. He has a crush on Athena but she chooses to ignore it and when every time he gathers the courage to confess his feelings to her he is often cut off or interrupted. He sometimes gets too excited over trivial events such as mistaking Chin for cheating on his wife his master was really talking to Kula Diamond over the phone. He is sometimes known to be lazy as he shows his dislike for training alongside with being very passionate about his favorite food baozi/meatbuns which he often consumes before during or after matches though there are also times where hes choked on them comically.
