Profile[]
Kou is the son of a very wealthy family and Kei Sagami’s best friend. As his father was always busy with work and his mother hated children, he was instead raised by his strict grandfather, as a result he has grown to become a simple and strong Japanese boy. During his childhood, he was bullied by his sisters for his feminine looks and often forced to wear makeup and fancy clothes, as a result Kou developed a fear of women outside of his childhood friend Kei. He really likes Kei and is jealous of her crush on Lee Fei Chao.

Etymology[]
- The name Kou means "vast, broad, wide" (弘).
- Kou's surname Yamashiro means "mountain, hill" (山) (yama) and "castle" (城) (shiro).
Trivia[]
- Kou has an animation for performing a Brain Jack that cannot seen in normal gameplay as he cannot be taken to any stages containing characters that can be Brain Jacked.
- Controlling either version of Kei and Brain Jacking another character while in a stage will result in Kou appearing in her place. This is visual only and targeting him will allow the Maken to Brain Jack Kei like normal. If this is done on the Istanbul or London stages, Kou will instead be treated as an enemy but will only become hostile if the Maken attacks him and dissappears when defeated.
