Other Facts and Information
Yashiro seems to be the most knowledgable, and devoted of the NFT members. Though it is unknown how the three came to be together, it is loosely speculated that he brought them together. (*)
Their band is a direct rival of Iori Yagami's band, and prior to KoF '97 they actually stole a gig of his. Likewise, since Yashiro and Iori play guitar, they are direct rivals.
Though there is no concrete evidence, there seems to be some relationship between him and Shermie.(*)
If KoF '97 is any indication, the NFT have some means by which to mask their true orochi powers. It is unknown if storywise they participated in the tournament as their normal selves and then "powered up" before fighting Japan team, or if they were their "Orochi" versions throughout the entire tournament.(*)
Yashiro apparently has a pet eagle. What it's name is, or how he came by it is totally unknown.(*)

(*) = Information I cannot fully confirm.
