Kintaro's Armageddon storyline is regrettable rather vague, doing little to account for his activities after his upset in Mortal Kombat II. Despite being larger and more brutal than his comrade, Goro, he is ultimately defeated as well, followed soon after by his master. Acting as Shao Kahn's bodyguard, Kintaro places himself directly in the path of Raiden's champions in order to mete out his own style of Outworld justice, thereby ensuring that none will have the chance to challenge the Emperor. StoryĪfter hearing that Goro had been killed by Liu Kang and his Earthrealm companions, Kintaro is so enraged that he vows to personally punish them in the next tournament. Either way, Kintaro is unlike any other Shokan in Mortal Kombat to date. It is unclear if this is a sign of vast genetic variance among his race or if Kintaro's features were unnaturally created. Furthermore, his eyes appear more catlike, and most interestingly of all, he now has feet which resemble the padded feet of a tiger rather than the normal two-toed Shokan's feet. Along with his stripes, Kintaro now possesses fangs, in addition to claws projecting from his hands and feet. Though this seemed to be mainly a cosmetic choice to differentiate him from Goro, when he later appears in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he is given further feline properties. Initially, his appearance included tiger striping all over his body. The most notable aspects of Kintaro's design are his many tiger-like qualities.

While Goro wore little save his signature yin and yang briefs, Kintaro sports an intimidating pair of spiked shoulder plates, spiked bracers on each of his four arms, and a set of knee protectors. He is portrayed in his debut as being even more fearsome than his predecessor, and his appearance reinforces this. He makes his first appearance in Mortal Kombat II after the defeat of his compatriot Prince Goro in the previous tournament, and like Goro he is an enforcer for Shao Kahn, being the final obstacle Earthrealm's warriors must overcome before taking on the Emperor himself. Kintaro belongs to the Shokan, a race of towering half-human, half-dragon hybrids known for their massive strength and their extra pair of arms. Profile Sheeva and Kintaro: same race, different feet
