Biography
Chizuru Kagura (Japanese: 神楽 ちづる, Hepburn: Kagura Chizuru) was a female human born to the Yata clan as one of its two heiresses with her having an older twin sister named Maki Kagura. As the heiress of the Yata, she was raised as a Miko priestess and possesses extensive knowledge of the Japanese myths and traditions. It was a cold night when an evil wind blew through the village of the Clan of the Yata. Chizuru woke up aware of the evil power at work in her village. Maki had felt that too, and she had come out to face the malicious entity. Suddenly, a man surged in the middle of the mist. A tall man, with very familiar clothes. Chizuru's sister called out for the Orochi messenger to come out. The man came out and introduced himself as Goenitz. He had come to destroy the seal that is imposed over the Orochi power. Maki refused and challenges Goenitz to a battle. Both engaged in a deadly battle, but Goenitz, being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, wields immense power, and since the power of the Kagura can not fight the Orochi without the help of the other two clans, she lost. Goenitz laughed, and claimed that the seal over the Orochi power had been broken by him, but Orochi was still weak. So, there's no other thing to do than wait, and Goenitz leaves. Chizuru ran to Maki's side, and with her dying breath, she assigned the task of sealing the Orochi power once again. If she failed, chaos and destruction will take over the world; Chizuru had to make the Kusanagi and Yagami clans unite once again so that the seal will be imposed again. With that, Maki died, and Chizuru has been both handling the Yata clan and the Kagura enterprises on her very own since then.
Ten years pass since the fateful incident. Chizuru has became a very successful business woman, and was a very prestigious woman in Japan. She has secretly followed the King of Fighters tournament since it began with Geese Howard, and after being aware of the supposed death of Rugal Bernstein, Chizuru took his place as the new host of the tournament, in 1996. She sends invitations to several teams, including Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. In the finals, Chizuru takes on the Hero Team, where Kyo is captain. In the middle of a bustling stadium, Chizuru fights the Hero Team, but is more interested in the skills of the Kusanagi. Using illusions to confuse the fighters, Chizuru manages to put Daimon and Benimaru away. But Kyo was different. Kyo uses his Kusanagi power to fight Chizuru, and finally wins. Chizuru is then happy, since she knows Kyo is ready to face the challenge in front of him. However, soon enough, the same evil wind that blew ten years ago, now once again appears. Chizuru and the Hero Team are blown away, but Chizuru takes the worst part. She bids Kyo to join with Iori and help defeat the Orochi power. Then, she faints. When she regains consciousness, Goenitz is at the edge of defeat. Chizuru promises Goenitz that the Orochi power will be taken away once and for all. Goenitz then vanishes, and so does Chizuru.
Chizuru did not appear until days before the next tournament in 1997. Since many sponsors were in charge of the tournament, Chizuru's job was a lot easier. However, she needed a team to enter the tournament this year. She then knew that Kasumi Todoh, the third member of the Gorgeous Team of last year, had disappeared. Chizuru took this chance, and reunited Mai Shiranui and King, the remaining members. She then begins to fight in the tournament, never letting an eye away from Kyo and Iori. As she perceived, Orochi was about to grow stronger and stronger, and the situation went critical with the rampage of Iori under the effect of the Riot of Blood, and the appearance of the other three Heavenly Kings of Orochi, in the form of the New Face Team. But fate lend it's lucky hand, and both Kyo and Iori were up and ready to face the faithful and final battle against the Orochi power. Chizuru wishes both Kyo and Iori good luck, and Chizuru begins developing the seal against Orochi. As the battle reached it's climax, Kyo prepared for the final punch as Iori held Orochi. Chizuru then invoked the seal, and Orochi was defeated. Chizuru was not present during the NESTS crisis involving Kyo's clone K' from 99-2001, although she was fully aware about those events and his existence. She would eventually meet K' in the year 2003.
