Ichigeki Kengo (イチゲキケンゴー) is a kendo-type Medarot that appears in Medarot R.

Description

Ichigeki Kengo is based off of a kendo swordsman wearing a black training mask and a blue hakama. Both of its arms are built to represent the shinai, or bamboo sword that a kendo swordsman uses.

The "Kengo" in its name comes from the Japanese word kengou (剣豪), which means "master fencer", while ichigeki translates to "a single blow/attack". The names of its head and arm parts reference men, kote, and tsuki, which are three of the possible point-scoring targets in kendo.

In the games

In battle, Ichigeki Kengo is a dominant melee fighter that can support itself or allies on a team with equal skill. Its head and arm parts are Sword attacks with mixed ranges of dealt damage. Its legs are bipedal-type, making it a balanced fighter on most terrains without any serious setbacks.
