Like Goro and Sheeva, KINTARO is of the four-armed Shokan race. Unlike his aristocratic comrades, however, he is of lower-class Tigrar lineage. As is customary when recruiting Shokan and Centaur into Shao Kahn's service, one of each race must face each other in bloody kombat. KINTARO killed his opponent and, in an unprecedented act of bravado, roared for more Centaur blood. Centaurs leapt furiously into the ring to their demise. This savagery led Shao Kahn to appoint KINTARO his personal bodyguard.
Signature moves
Fireball / Fiery Hands: Kintaro shoots a flaming fireball out of his mouth.
Ground Fireball: Kintaro shoots a fireball directly to the ground.
Flame Breath: Kintaro breathes a short stream of fire from his mouth.
Teleport Stomp: Kintaro jumps off screen and comes crashing down with all his weight.
Shokan Roar: Kintaro roars, making him vulnerable (or healing in Armageddon). In Shaolin Monks, he does this move before a teleport stomp, and he is vulnerable to attacks when he roars. In MK 2011, he roars if his teleport stomp misses.
X-Ray Move - Shokan Smash: Kintaro punches the opponent in the chest with his lower arms, breaking their ribs, he then punches his opponent on both sides of the skull with his upper arms, breaking it, then he grabs the opponent's face and punches them one more time, damaging it even more.
Fatalities
Quad Rip: Kintaro grabs his opponent with each of his arms. He then begins to pull outwards, eventually ripping the opponent into four pieces.
Reverse Rip: Kintaro turns the enemy around, grabs their arms and head. He rips off the arms and head, and breaks the head into two pieces.
Babality: Kintaro becomes a 6-legged kitten with a bowl of milk in front of him, he crawls on all six to it and begins to meow and drink the milk, while purring away.
