Mortal Kombat 1/Kenshi/Introduction

Introduction

Restorer of His Family's Name

"Once one of ancient Japan's most honored families, the Takahashis were decimated in battle. They lost everything, including the emblem of their power: the revered sword, Sento. Those who survived joined the Bakuto, a predecessor of the Yakuza, for its protection. Five centuries later, Kenshi is raised on the stories of his ancient family's exploits. Detesting his corrupt Yakuza life, he pines to free the Takahashis from the Yakuza's grasp and restore their name. But for his family to follow him, Kenshi must first fight to prove that he can lead. His first battle is to find and retrieve Sento."

Kenshi Takahashi is katana and Stand powers.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Fighting Spirit: The Ancestor is practically a win condition unto itself thanks to its ability to enable extended block strings, damaging mix-ups, and armor break setups;

Two Step Game Plan: Kenshi does not begin the round at his full potential and entering his win condition requires him to score a hit first; a savvy opponent who can steamroll a round is his worst enemy; The Last Samurai: While not completely helpless, Sento Stance Kenshi is limited when his Ancestor is out of the fight; when the opponent stuns the Ancestor by hitting it or runs out the timer, Kenshi can't afford to take risks in the same way he could previously.
