Numerical simulations are carried out at the couplings \$= 6.0\$ and 6.2 on \$32^364\$ and \$48^364\$ lattices, respectively. The pion decay constant is evaluated for all KS flavors via gauge invariant and non-invariant axial vector currents with the renormalization constants calculated by both non-perturbative method and perturbation theory. We obtain \$f\_= 89(6)\$ MeV in the continuum limit as the best value using the partially conserved axial vector current, which requires no renormalization. From a study for the other KS flavors we find that the results obtained with the non-perturbative renormalization constants are well convergent among the KS flavors in the continuum limit, confirming restoration of \$SU(4)\_A\$ flavor symmetry, while perturbative renormalization still leaves an apparent flavor breaking effect even in the continuum limit.
