This Team Roster for The King Fighters-Millenium Battle- ,  was graciously donated by ChaRles!,  of the PaoPao Cafe.  For the original article, visit his site at  http://welcome.to/paopaocafe 

ChaRles! had compilated the following list after contacting magazine editors in Hong Kong via Internet Newsgroup. Thus so, he himself points out that there is no assurance to the roster being 100% accurate with as some fundamental points are already missing (namely the existance of over 7 female characters, and Iori not being listed within the edit-only character slot). However this Roster can be used as a quick outlook to what may come in the near future.

Meanwhile, Benimaru Nikaidou was invited as a special guest to the   tournament, as a member of a special team. However, in his member rooster were listed two names which the world of   martial arts have never  heard until now... Makishima, and an initial: K'. ,
