How to play Kenji
- Kenji has the lowest health in the roster (92), so he wins by not getting hit. Fish for Mind's Eye when an opponent commits to a heavy, then punish from behind.
- Iai Flash cuts through every enemy in its path. In free-for-all, wait until two or three fighters line up on the same floor before you spend the mana.
- He has a single jump. Save your air dash for getting back to the ledge, and grab the edge instead of trying to land on the deck from far out.

Story: Ronin
The Shogun Dragon's personal bodyguard for eleven years. On the night his master died, Kenji was off duty for the first time in a decade. Disgraced and masterless, he hunts the killer with a blade that has never missed.
“One strike. One answer.”
