History

Kenshi is a rogue swordsman of Japanese descent who possesses psychokinetic powers and harbors a bitter hatred for the evil sorcerer named Shang Tsung, whose deception had resulted in Kenshi's blindness. Since his debut in 2002's Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, he has persistently appeared in the series' storyline by freeing Ermac from the control of Outworld's Emperor Shao Kahn, joining the Special Forces alongside Jax and Sonya Blade, and seeking to take down Mavado and his Red Dragon faction, as well as teaming up with the likes of Sub-Zero and Johnny Cage. He is blind and a master in the arts of Tai Chi, San Shou and Judo. He is also telekinetic and can throw his opponent using only the power of his mind.

Characteristics

Despite his blindness, Kenshi possesses senses that are heightened beyond his normal ability and can fight on par with any other combatant. Kenshi wields an ancestral sword called Sento that contains the spirits of the warrior kings of his lineage, and is in turn guided by these spirits in combat. He can sense an opponent's presence by their energy or by hearing them and can thus take opponents by surprise.
