Japan (to one American parent) | | Blood type | O | | Fighting style | Shooting+Shinkuu Katategoma | Benimaru Nikaido is one of the main characters from the King of Fighters series, famous for being the second member of the "Japan Team" composed of Kyo Kusanagi and Goro Daimon, as well as being the leader of his own "Benimaru Team" in 2000 and the second member of the "Rival Team" in KOF XI. Benimaru is born of half-Japanese and American descent, and wears a waist-length sleeveless top with matching jeans/pants. Recently however, his top is shorter, exposing his abs, and before King of Fighters 2003, his top is plain black (with short sleeves from '98 to 2002), while afterwards, it has a leopard spot motif.

Storyline
The Rugal Saga Benimaru made his first appearance in KOF94, as the second member of the Japan Team. Kyo specialized at Kenpo and wielded fire-based powers, while Benimaru used shooting techniques and electricity. Goro used Judo and earth-based powers. They later entered the King of Fighters 1994 tournament, in which they engaged the host of the tournament, Rugal Bernstein. Kenpo may also refer to the Constitution of Japan (憲法) Kenpo or Kempo (拳法 KenpÅ; lit. ...
Judo ), meaning gentle way, is a modern Japanese martial art (gendai budÅ) and combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. ...

The King of Fighters tournament held in 1995 saw the introduction of Iori Yagami, a member of the Yagami clan and rival of Kyo Kusanagi. This and the return of Rugal contributed to the disbandment of the Japan team during the 1996 tournament, in which Kyo decided to embrace his destiny and battle the Orochi. The final blow to their partnership came after Kyo's battle with Orochi in 1997. Kyo was nowhere to be found and Goro decided to return to the Judo world; Benimaru was on his own. 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The NESTS conflict After a full year had passed, Benimaru set out to find Kyo. Accompanied by Kyo's student, Shingo Yabuki, he came into contact with two strange men. One was a young man with white hair and dark features named K', the other a cyborg named Maxima. K' was a dark-hearted loner who wielded powers that emulated Kyo's, while Maxima was a kind man who was enhanced with cybernetic weapons. The two men seemed entranced with fighting in the King of Fighters '99 tournament. Though Benimaru trusted neither of them, he sensed that he might find Kyo if he followed these two, hence forming a team for entry in the King of Fighters tournament. Shingo Yabuki is a character in the King of Fighters video game series. ...

It was eventually revealed that a syndicate named "NESTS" had Kyo in custody and proceeded to use his DNA for various entities. One of these clones was an Irish fighter named Krizalid, who encountered the team at the conclusion of the tournament, who wished to defeat them and use the battle data for numerous Kyo Kusanagi clones across the planet. Krizalid was a formidable foe, as he not only possessed the Kusanagi flames, but a suit that memorized the fighting styles of his defeated enemies. The battle finally ended when an offensive attack by K' and Maxima weakened Krizalid's defenses long enough to be defeated by a fire attack from Kyo Kusanagi, who had recently escaped an NESTS underground facility. This is a list documenting the various fictional clones of Kyo Kusanagi created over the course of the King of Fighters video game series. ...

In 2000, Benimaru once again teamed up with Shingo, but also brought along a fighter named Seth and a ninja named Lin to join his entourage. 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The 2001 tournament saw a reunion of the Japan Team, with Shingo tagging along once again. Together, they succeeded in slaughtering the founder of NESTS, Igniz. After the battle, the group once again parted ways, but not before Kyo told Shingo "... get a life". 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Resurrection of Orochi With NESTS no longer posing a threat, Benimaru decided to enter the 2003 tournament with his friend Goro and, much to his chagrin, Shingo. Though everything seemed depressingly normal, there seemed to be something nefarious going on. As he would eventually find out, a shadowy group led by a mysterious man named Ash Crimson entered the tournament. Before they could do anything, they were transported to a remote area. Taking a moment to relax, Benimaru decided to compliment Shingo on his refined skills. Unfortunately, Shingo became arrogant and began to denounce Kyo, exclaiming that he is no longer his student, but his rival. Noticing Kyo emerging from the distance, Benimaru attempted to quell Shingo’s tirade (to no avail). Upon hearing these comments, Kyo beat Shingo senseless while Benimaru and Goro nervously looked on. Benimaru was heard to comment that "Shingo will always be a Shingo." while watching the beating. It is presumed that after this, Kyo told Benimaru and Daimon what Ash's intentions were. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Benimaru later visited France, along with his friend/rival Duo Lon of the Flying Brigands (Hizoku in Japan). The two were caught up in a bank robbery, which was soon stopped by the appearance of Elisabeth Blanctorche. After a brief bit of flirting from Benimaru, the two men told Elizabeth that Ash had stolen the Yata Mirror from Chizuru Kagura, and was coming after Iori Yagami's treasure next. The three formed a team and entered the next tournament together. The three, however, could not stop Ash, who had stole the Yasakani Magatama from Iori. When they arrived at the scene, Benimaru picked up the unconscious Kyo (presumably battered from fighting against the Rioted Iori) while Elizabeth attempted to interrogate Ash, who simply vanished, saying to tell Kyo that he was coming for him next. Duo Lon is a video game character in the King of Fighters series. ...

Personality Benimaru, while sometimes outspoken and flamboyant, means business in battle since he's very proud of his skills and doesn't want anyone to look down on him for his good looks. He also likes to say English quotes upon winning a battle. He also respects ladies, as shown with a special introduction pose before engaging in battle with a female opponent.
Even though he tends to be more than a flighty flirt, when it comes to certain things (along with seeming as if he has an indecisive mind), Benimaru in fact has a heart of gold, his loyalty and respect can go a long way and even behind the American exterior he still holds close the Japanese personality traits.
Trivia - Apparently, Benimaru has his hair up only when he is fighting or about to fight. In some pictures where he is in a break his hair is flown down. This may be a rather exaggerated case of electrostatics.
- Benimaru's connections to the Hizoku Clan have been a point of intrigue about the character for sometime, but in fact from official story indicated that he just met Lin the first time in 2000, and from the event in the ending in 2000 made Benimaru mistook Duo Lon for Ron/Long in their prefight intro in 2003.
- Benimaru was based on the character Polnareff from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, right down to his outfit in KoFs 94 and 95. Even after Benimaru's name was decided on, the game developers continued to refer to him as Polnareff.
- Benimaru also pays homage to the Tatsunoko character Hurricane Polymar. The attacks Shinkuu Katategoma, Handou Sandan Geri and Gen'ei Hurricane take their names and functions directly from the aforementioned character.
- Benimaru is not gay, as SNKP established themselves. In fact, his mannerisms and clothes gave him a sex-symbol status to his fictitious female fans in Japan.
- Benimaru may in fact be the most active KOF combatant, as he is a central storyline figure in every arc, and, unlike Kyo and Iori, has never appeared as a single entry (In other words, not actually part of the tournament).
- In addition, Benimaru has been on a winning team more than any other combatant, being a member of the victorious Japan team from '94 to '97, and also on K's team in '99.
