He was initially conceived for MKII as an anthropomorphic fur-lined bipedal tiger, but the concept was scrapped due to the difficulty of creating such a complicated outfit. The character was a stop-motion clay figure whose design was inspired by the Japanese mythological character Kintarō. In the 2015 Mortal Kombat X prequel comic, Kintaro is slain by Sonya Blade while she is under Havik's control. The reboot also establishes him as being responsible for Kabal's injuries. In the reboot, he is defeated by Kung Lao during the tournament. Kintaro participates in Shao Kahn's attempt to conquer Earthrealm during the second game's tournament, in which he is defeated by Liu Kang.

A Shokan, he shares his species' four arms and imposing size, but is distinguished by his tiger-like stripes. He is also the penultimate boss of Shaolin Monks. Kintaro is the sub-boss of Mortal Kombat II and a sub-boss in the 2011 reboot. Main article: Jax (Mortal Kombat) Kintaro Voiced by: Rhasaan Orange ( MK 2011), Dave B.
