- — Kintaro saying a fact
Kintaro is a minor character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He made his debut in Mortal Kombat II as the game's sub-boss and became playable in Mortal Kombat III advanced versions n' stuff. In Mortal Kombat 9, Kintaro returns as a sub-boss for the game.
Info[]
After hearing of Goro's death at the hands of Liu Kang, Kintaro vowed to avenge his comrade and crush Liu in Mortal Kombat tournament.
Kintaro tried to prove his loyalty to the Emperor, Shao Kahn, by travelling to Earth with a Tarkatan hordes to defeat Johnny Cage. Although the attack failed due to the intervention of other Earth warriors, Kintaro continued to serve Emperor Shao. After Shang Tsung was defeated once more by Liu, Kintaro challenged him in Mortal Kombat. The Shokan warrior fought well, but he was no match for the Shaolin Monk.
It is unknown what happened to Kintaro after the events of Mortal Kombat II. In Mortal Kombat: Return of The Dragon King; Konquest, he appears leading Shao's armies in an assault on Edenia.
Kintaro appears in Shinnok's Tower in the Never Never Land along with Sheeva, Havik, and a legion of demons all apparently working in an attempt to overthrow Shinnok's rule. However, Shinnok later reveals that this was all created as a test for Steven, and that the Kintaro fought by him was bribed by Shinnok in order to make it look like he was against the fallen Elder God.
Later on, Kintaro appears among the combatants that fight for the Forces of Darkness, being the first to arrive at the crater. He later punches Kitana and sends her flying after she kicks Kano away.
He, along with most combatants, was killed during Armageddon.
New timeline[]
Kintaro does not appear until the second Mortal Kombat Tournament. After Sektor and Quan Chi were both defeated by Kung Lao, Kintaro was brought out to face him, but was defeated as well.
During the Earth invasion, Kintaro appears on New York City's streets, and severely burns Kabal's ass. He is defeated by Kurtis Stryker, Kabal's partner, who is attacked by Ermac right after defeating him. He later appears guarding Earth prisoners along with Kano, Goro and Robot Sub-Zero, unaware that Sub-Zero has defected to Earth. Sub-Zero froze Kano, Goro and Kintaro and released the prisoners, just before the Shokan warriors managed to release themselves from the ice. Enraged, the Shokans attacked Robot Sub-Zero, but were both defeated.
Death[]
Kintaro is overwhelmed when he is fighting Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs on Outworld's beaches. Calling to Sheeva, desperately to save his life, Sheeva just orders him to keep fighting, and Kintaro chokes out his final words; "I won't fail--" before he is choked to death by Cassie's thick thighs and Jacqui rips his purple head off with her bare hands, hoisting it in the air like a trophy before throwing it on the ground and kicking it into the sea.
Kintaro's body is later taken by the ocean and everyone forgets he ever existed.
Powers and abilities[]
Like other Shokans, Kintaro possesses superhuman strength, fire-swallowing and breathing abilities and has four massive arms, as well as great brute force. He hails from a lower category of Shokan bred, making him less worth than most of his other brethren. Kintaro can also breath fireballs and shoot them out of his hands, as well as draw people close to him with his breath, allowing him to grab them. He also has a teleport slam, where he jumps up on the screen and lands on his opponent.
Journal Entry[]
Longtime bodyguard of Outworld royalty, Kintaro has served Shao Kahn for many years. Like Sheeva, he is a member of the four-armed Shokan race and descends from a lineage known for it's poverty.
Trivia[]
- Kintaro possesses a tiger-like appearance unique to himself, though this was an aspect of his breeding.
- He is one of the few characters in Mortal Kombat: Return of The Dragon King; Konquests mode who does not interact with Shujinko at all.
- He can be found once in China on Earth in a small forest looking around for some drugs. It is impossible for Shujinko to speak with him, as trying to do so will make his ass disappear.
- He is also one of the characters that can seen trapped in a cage in the Dark Prison stage.
- Unlike Goro, his fighting style attacks are more powerful causing the enemy to be knocked down with a single hit, but unlike Goro, his grapple moves cause less damage.
- He shares the same throw move with Goro - grab and pound, but he has his own four-arm grab move which is unblockable.
- While he doesn't actually appear in the MKX game, he's mentioned in the pre-fight dialogue between Goro and Kitana, which suggest Goro doesn't like him much due to his brethren - he calls Kintaro a "striped commoner" and a "wanna-be" amongst other things.
