Sie Kensou

Sie Kensou, also known as “Shii Kensū,” is a character from the SNK fighting game *Psycho Soldier* and an active member of the Psycho Soldier Team in *The King of Fighters* series. Since his debut, he has always served as a comic relief character. Goofy, outgoing, and jovial, Kensou wants to live his young years to their fullest. He has a huge crush on Athena Asamiya, but she often ignores it, and 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 Gentsai for cheating on his wife (when his master was really talking to Kula Diamond over the phone). Kensou is also known to be lazy and dislikes training, while also being passionate about his favorite food (baozi/meatbuns), which he often consumes before, during, or after matches (though there are times when he has comically choked on them). His official nickname is "The Young Rising Dragon." He learned Kung Fu from Chin Gentsai, particularly acrobatic styles like Northern Shaolin. He also learned to use Psycho Powers, like Athena. Though he possesses powerful Dragon Spirit energy, he doesn't rely much on psychic powers during fights, favoring his fighting style. However, he changed his style during the period when he lost the Dragon Spirit, focusing more on his Kung Fu. Many of his signature special moves feature a dragon motif, with two of his DM's named after the Shenlong/Shinryuu (God/Divine Dragon) of Chinese mythology. *The King of Fighters* is a series of fighting games centered around a tournament. It originally started as a stage for the SNK fighting game series *Fatal Fury* and *Art of Fighting 2* in 1994. The official abbreviation is “KOF.”
