History
Bandit Chief Kendo leads a band of ruffians in the name of the devious Robber King, plotting to steal treasure from the great Shogun Gi-Dan. The bandits are allied with the mysterious black ninjas lead by their master Bonsai.
There is some ambiguity in the hierarchy of leadership of the bandits / robbers. Some cannon implies that Chief Kendo reports to The Robber King (also called the Robber Chief), while other sources indicate he himself to be the mastermind. The Collector feels that having a "Robber King" and therefore a "Bandit Chief" to carry out his orders makes for a better story.
The Chief's name "Kendo" shares the name of the modern Japanese martial art Kendo which focuses on combat using a bamboo sword called a Shinai.
Chief Kendo is dressed in a back headwrap, square black eye patch, tattered leather armor, and red legs.
This figure was included in set 6093 | Flying Ninja Fortress and given to the The Collector for their birthday in 1999.
