Eiji is a ninja from the
feared and respected Kisaragi clan. Sworn to be the strongest under the
heavens, he made it his goal to defeat the one school his clan had not yet
surpassed: Kyokugenryu Karate. Using
the Kisaragi style carried down for hundreds of years, his school is a
sworn enemy of
Ryo's, and with a
whole team of Kyokugen fighters entering, he joins the KOF tournament to
defeat them in 1995. Eiji
was summoned by Billy Kane to
enter a team with Iori
Yagami and
him. Although he seemed surprised to see his teammates for the first time, he
agreed since it was a chance to continue his agenda against the Kyokugenryu
practitioners. However, his team mate
Iori
nearly kills him when the team fails to reach the finals. Afterwards, Eiji
retired from the KOF tournament for several years.
In The King of
Fighters XI, Eiji comes out of retirement as member of the Anti
Kyokugenryu team. In their team's backstory, it is explained that he was
extensively training in the mountains since his defeat in 1995. Summoned by Malin,
he seemed intent on taking his revenge on Takuma
and is surprised to hear the master of the style hospitalized. He instead
shifts his target to Ryo, who is deemed to be the most proficient practitioner
in the tournament by both him and his teammate, Kasumi.
It is said that Zantetsu
is Eiji's great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. As
a descendant of Zantetsu,
he also wields the Nagare and Kage twin ninja daggers and uses them sparingly.
