Team Sacred Treasures consists of the three descendants of clans responsible for keeping the seal on an ancient evil from Japan. Chizuru Kagura is a representative of one of these clans along with her teammates for the King of Fighters 15 tournament. Here's what we know about her moves for the upcoming entry.
Who Is Chizuru Kagura in King of Fighters?
Chizuru Kagura often appears as part of Team Sacred Treasures with Iori Yagami, and Kyo Kusanagi. The team successfully resealed the ancient evil, Orochi, that appeared in one of the King of Fighters tournaments, but in the succeeding King of Fighters entries after Orochi was sealed, Chizuru didn't appear for quite awhile.
Kyo and Iori continued their rivalry in the series as part of different teams. Before King of Fighters 15, Ash Crimson stole her powers for his own, which made her return unlikely as a playable fighter. However, given the events of King of Fighters 15, it looks like she will need to investigate Orochi-related events again with Kyo and Iori.

Chizuru Kagura Death Combos
If Chizuru is left as the last character standing in your team, her offense may feel underwhelming as her fighting style is not geared for heavy hits. However, she also has a potential to knock out foes cleanly if she has enough resources. Here are some of those Touch of Death Combos:
Make sure to avoid making a mistake in the combo. Dropping the killing combo can leave Chizuru without resources and open for a punish, so practice the combo and end matches in style and efficiency.
