In the next tournament, Kyo and his team are invited once again into a tournament organized once again by Rugal, who survived his craft's self-destruction. This time, Rugal also brainwashed Kyo's missing father, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Saisyu|Saisyu]], into attacking his son. Kyo's father regains his senses after he was subdued by the team. To counter the team's strength, Rugal challenges them with power sapped from Orochi. However, Rugal's body was overwhelmed by the power's immensity and he was vaporized after his defeat. Pleased with his son's prowess, Saisyu leaves unnoticed, insinuating that he entrusts the clan's duty to Kyo.

Prior to the events of [[The King of Fighters '96]], a mysterious man -later revealed to be one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Orochi, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Leopold|Goenitz]]- challenges Kyo to a fight. Kyo arrives, powered by his overwhelming confidence in his fists, only to be defeated soundly by his challenger and sent to the hospital. In spite of his injuries, his anger and spirit from his loss drove him to invent powerful new techniques -this is the canon explanation for Kyo trading his ground-fireball attack for his now trademark flame-laced melee attack strings. He enters the year's tournament to prove his strength to his unknown attacker. In the tournament's finals, he meets the host of the tournament and the younger heiress of the Yata clan, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Chizuru|Chizuru Kagura]]. At the tournament's end, he vanquishes Goenitz with Iori and Chizuru's help. Though he is warned by Chizuru of his clan's destiny with Orochi, Kyo ignores her and promptly departs.

Before [[The King of Fighters '97]] takes place, he is pestered by fellow high school student, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Shingo|Shingo Yabuki]], to teach him how to create his flames. Though annoyed and flustered by his persistence, Kyo partially agrees to mentor him as a means of gaining free meals. He also experiences nightmares of a strange man defeating him at the King of Fighters tournament, but continues to participate. Though it's ambiguous as to which team he enters during the tournament, it is canonly accepted that Kyo joins with Iori and Chizuru for its conclusion.

He advances into the finals, where he confronts the remaining "Four Heavenly Kings" of Orochi, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Yashiro|Yashiro Nanakase]], [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Shermie|Shermie]], and [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Chris|Chris]]. When they are beaten, Orochi possesses Chris' body and attempts to destroy the three clans at once. As was done in the legends of their clans, the trio successfully defeat him. In a last-ditch effort, [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Characters/Orochi|Orochi]] (manifested in Chris' body) causes Iori to enter the berserk Riot of Blood state, expecting him to turn on Kyo and Chizuru. Instead, Iori snares Orochi by the neck, and Kyo obliged his rival by crippling the great demon with one last deathblow, allowing Chizuru to reseal Orochi.
