Sie Kensou is a young man who possess a special gift of psychic powers,
but he is not really all that weird like most psychics are. He is currently
fighting for justice in the Psycho Soldier Team, but he really seems to be a
careless boy always neck-up in trouble.
Kensou was an orphan since a young boy, and had nowhere to turn to. He
vagued through China like a homeless child. When he reached a camp village, he
heard that the legendary Chin Gentsai lived there. Kensou hurried to his house,
where he found him lying on the floor, dead drunk. Kensou pledged to be his
student, and suprisingly he was accepted without too much effort. Kensou thus
began his training under Chin's orders, who was drunk the most time, but managed
to show Kensou the basics of kung fu. This was when Kensou began displaying his
psychic power, being able to launch energy blasts. Chin, seeing this much power,
decided to take Kensou on a training trip through the Asian area. Kensou enjoyed
being with Chin, since he was like his father...er, grandfather, but they mostly
got in trouble due to Chin's drunk rampages. Meanwhile, Kensou lived his life
like any normal kid: reading "manga" (Japanese comics), and eating rice buns all
the time. The training journey reached up to Japan.
While in Japan, Kensou and Chin met against a big bully, who challenged
them to a fight. Kensou was to fight first, to show the fruits of his training,
but the strongman was so silly looking, Kensou could not help but laugh. Then
Chin had to butt in, but he too did not fight with seriousness. Suddenly, the
big man was sent flying by a psychic blast. Kensou noticed a very beautiful
young woman who had launched it. Kensou inmediately fell in love with the girl,
and when she offered to join them and fight for justice, Kensou did not hesitate
and accept. Of course, Chin had no other choice but to stay as well. Since then,
Kensou has followed Athena and fought the bad guys along her side. Kensou has
tried to get closer to Athena, but she keeps kicking him away. Kensou knows
Athena likes Kyo, but despite his desperation, he knows Athena will fall for him
someday!
Kensou of course did not doubt into following Athena when she received an
invitation for the new King of Fighters tournament, introducing the team battle
mode. Kensou fights bravely, always trying to show Athena how powerful he is!
Even though sometimes he falls short of expectations, he always creates a good
impression every year. At the end of each tournament, Kensou tries to show off
to Athena, but ends up doing something humilliating. He was also pretty shamed
that Athena always got the fan letters of people who admired their brave actions
and justice fights. He got some, once in awhile. But Chin, seeing that the
youngsters were getting too confident in their abilities, he decided to restrain
them from entering the tournament of 1997, but a fan letter from a certain Kaori
cheered Athena and Kensou up, almost obligating Chin to accept their entrance.
Now, this is Kensou's chance to finally show Athena what he is really made of!
All seemed perfectly normal after the fall of Orochi, but in the subsequent
months, Kensou's psychic powers began to vanish. With no logical reason to such
success, Kensou began to grow desperate, angry at the idea that he would no longer
be of help to Athena in her quest for justice. Around that time, a little kid named
Bao was taken in by master Chin, and the child soon displayed enormous amounts of
psychic powers! This made Kensou's sorrow grow even stronger, but Chin helped him
out in perfecting other techniques that no longer needed psychic powers. Even so,
Kensou could not stop feeling powerless, and unable to help his team in the new
King of Fighters tournament.
Anyways, Kensou decided to follow Athena in her quest to stop Krizalid's
ambition, being Krizalid the evil host of the tournament. After all, Kensou still
loved Athena deep within, and would go anywhere for her. But as soon as they
approached the base, the whole place began to tremble and fall down to pieces.
Kensou runs right behind Athena in their hasteful escape. Athena, however, gets
trapped by a rock, and is about to get squashed by another one. Kensou can't resist
the image of her dead beloved, and turning on what was left of his psychic powers,
manages to save Athena from sure death, and blasts out of the ruins. Afterwards,
Kensou and Bao, who had been waiting outside, pass out. What secret connection lies
between Bao and Kensou? Will Kensou ever recover his psychic powers? The question
lies inside them....
Kensou is a very distracted young fellow. He gets confused easily, but is
force to reckon with when in battle. While madly in love with Athena, he tries
to do anything to grab her attention, but ends up doing something embarassing
instead (his shorts either ripping or falling down, choking on his rice balls).
He respects Chin very much, but hates it when he gets all crazy and has to drag
him away. He treats Bao as a little brother, but is mad at the fact that he can
wield psychic powers and he can't. He's a lively young man, always seeking to live
his life at it's fullest.
*Fun fact = Rice ball fiesta! Kensou has gained a new funny DM in KOF '97 where
he munches on his rice ball. This move is called the Niku Man o Kuu, and in
normal DM mode, he regains a bit of life, but in SDM, he chokes and loses life
afterwards! Do it under your own risk...
*Cloth changes = Has white shirt/shorts with blue jacket in KOF '94 to KOF '97.
In KOF '98, he wears a blue sports sweater, and blue shorts.
