Sie Kensou (椎拳崇, Shii Kensū) is a character who first appeared in the SNK video game Psycho Soldier. He appears in The King of Fighters series as an active member of the Psycho Soldiers Team. Ever since his first appearance, he has always served as a comic relief character. In scenes where he and Athena would jump from a high level to one below, Kensou would fall flat on his face. At one point, developers described his psychic powers being similar to Koichi's powers in Babel II.

In Gamest's 1997 Heroes Collection, Kensou was voted as the staff's twenty-fourth favorite character. He shared the spot with Ryo Sakazaki and Toru Kurosawa, a character from an adult game series.

He is voiced by Eiji Yano. He is portrayed by Yuki Ishii in the Athena live drama.

[edit] Story

He is one of the young disciples of Chin Gentsai who wields psychic powers -dubbed by SNK as Psycho Powers. Both he and Athena are trained by Chin to prepare for "the worst case scenario of oncoming evil" and use the tournaments as a method of training for such an event. Plans go awry when Kensou loses his powers in The King of Fighters '99 yet saves Athena with a previously unknown latent energy.

It is later revealed to be the Dragon Spirit (龍の気, Ryu no ki), a power he somehow shares with younger teammate, Bao. He regains his powers and masters this newer power in The King of Fighters XI, much to the satisfaction of former NESTS member, Ron. The deeper meaning of the Dragon Spirit's importance has yet to be revealed. It's probable that the Dragon Spirit is a reference to Kensou's ability to morph into a dragon from Psycho Soldier.

[edit] Athena: Awakening from the Ordinary Life

Kensou remains relatively the same as his other incarnations. The main difference from this Kensou is that he doesn't exhibit psychic powers during the majority of the story. He declares himself to be "Athena's knight" and often rushes to her aid when she is in danger. He recklessly runs into one of her teleportations and joins her search in Tantauls' headquarters. While she is battling the Tantauls system, he temporarily shields her by using his previously latent psychic powers. During the ending, he comforts her brooding by trying to not over think things and repeats some of his kenpo teacher's advice. He also tries to confess his feelings for her but is interrupted when Athena spots a healthy Rika.

[edit] Personality

Goofy, outgoing and jovial, Kensou wants to live his young years to their fullest. He has a crush on Athena, but she doesn't seem to realize it. Every time gathers the courage to confess his feelings to her, he is often cut off or interrupted.

[edit] Powers

Telepathy - Kensou can project his thoughts to other minds.
Psychic Projectile - Kensou can fire a ball of psychic energy.
Psychic Aura - Kensou can attack enemies with a psychic aura around his hands to increase punching damage.
Psychic Dragon - Kensou can create a giant dragon of psychic energy.
Dragon Spirit- Kensou has a mysterious power that is shared with Bao and seems to be the source of his power. During the 99-2001 KOF Tournaments, the power can be switched between Kensou and Bao if one of them is gravely injured.

[edit] Fighting Style

Kensou learned Kung Fu from Chin Gentsai, especially the particularly more acrobatic styles such as Northern Shaolin.
