Kintaro

"The people have spoken! And a king must, if only once every millennium or so, listen to the will of his people."

- Shao Kahn summoning Kintaro to battle.

"Humans, less ugly when they burn!"

- Kintaro to Stryker after burning Kabal in Mortal Kombat (2011).

Kintaro is a savage general of the half-human/half-dragon race known as the Shokan and the supreme commander of Shao Kahn's forces of Outworld, as well as an antagonist from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games.

He was voiced by Rhasaan Orange.

History
After hearing about Goro's defeat, Kintaro made a vow to avenge him and swore to prove his loyalty to Shao Kahn. He lead a host of Tarkatans to Earthrealm, where they attacked Johnny Cage, but failed to kill him after the other warriors of Earthrealm intervened. After Shang Tsung's defeat at the hands of Liu Kang, Kintaro challenged the monk, only to lose as well.

Armageddon
In the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Kintaro appeared in Shinnok's spire where he fought against Taven. However, he was revealed to be an illusion that the fallen Elder God Shinnok had created to test the Edenian demigod.

Kintaro's Ending Armageddon
In Kintaro's ending, he defeated Blaze and was offered four magical swords that could possess the powers of any other fighters he desired. The Shokan warrior chose fire, ice, order, and chaos, causing the swords to slay and absorb the souls of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Hotaru, and Havik. Kintaro then took up these swords and slew his enemies, gaining even more power, making it so no one would ever challenge him again.

Powers and Abilities
Like other Shokan, Kintaro possesses superhuman strength and abilities, as well as great brute force. He hails in a subspecies of Shokan bred for their brutality, making him stronger 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.
