Maki Kagura (神楽（かぐら） マキ), also known as Maki Yata (八咫（やた） マキ), is a character in The King of Fighters series. Her existence has been known to players since The King of Fighters '96, but made her physical debut as a sub-boss in The King of Fighters 2003.

She is voiced by Kazuyo Inosako.

Personality[]

During her lifetime, Maki was very happy with her family and worried about the Yata clan and the fate of the Yata. The illusion Maki was quite serious about her duty to the "seal".

Powers[]

• Mirror Image - Maki can create copies of herself. The copies, when created, may only move, attack and disappear. Maki is particularly stronger than Chizuru, so she can create more than one copy or make them attack more than once.
• Reflector - Maki can reflect projectiles.
• Create Shadow - Maki can use the power of the Yata Mirror to create shadows of living or dead beings.
• Seal - Being of Yata heritage, Maki can use her powers to seal Orochi in another dimension.
• Energy Manipulation - Maki can use energy to send enemies away.

Skills[]

• Engineering - As her hobby, Maki knows the best tuning settings for Chizuru's motorcycle for her next race.

Fighting Style[]

Her fighting style is basically the same of her sister's, but she relies more on using her mirror images. She is strong enough to overpower everyone particularly large, bulky, and physically strong characters such as Daimon, Maxima and Tizoc by sending them flying at a great distance with just a mere aerial kick. Both Maki and Chizuru share one three-tier life bar. When one sister is defeated, so is the other.

Trivia[]

• Formerly, Maki was supposed to have a shorter hair than Chizuru's, to make it easier to tell the two apart. It was mentioned in the anniversary website that they actually planned her design beforehand (as suggested by the image gallery in The King of Fighters '97) but was later scrapped due to time constraints.
  • As seen in KOF 2003, Maki and Chizuru are virtually carbon copies of one another, with the exception of move executions and eccentric animation.
