Kotobukiya Unveils Yuri Sakazaki Statue from The King of Fighters XV, Pre-Orders Now Open

Fans of the fighting game The King of Fighters XV can now rejoice as Kotobukiya has officially opened pre-orders for their new Yuri Sakazaki statue.


This exquisite 1/7 scale figure, standing at 21 cm tall, allows gamers and collectors to add the iconic Kyokugenryu Karate practitioner to their collection. The statue is crafted from durable ABS and PVC materials.


Priced at 19,800 Japanese Yen (approximately $127 USD), the Yuri Sakazaki statue is scheduled for release in September 2026. As a special bonus, customers who place their pre-order directly through Kotobukiya’s official website will receive an exclusive interchangeable bonus head sculpt.


Yuri Sakazaki, the spirited and independent daughter of Takuma and sister of Ryo, is a formidable fighter known for her personalized adaptation of Kyokugenryu Karate, which she molded to fit her physique and personality. She possesses a natural talent for martial arts, mastering the style’s fundamentals in less than a year and demonstrating the ability to replicate techniques merely by observing them. Her strong will and desire for independence often lead to amicable conflicts with her family.


Outside of combat, Yuri enjoys karaoke and culinary experimentation, but she has a strong aversion to indecisive men and octopi.
