Kendo Rappa

Kendo Rappa (乱波肩動) is one of the Eight Bullets who serves Overhaul and the Shie Hassaikai.

Appearance
Kendo is a very large, muscular man with long, light-colored hair.

His face is hidden beneath the plague mask given to him by the Shie Hassaikai, and he dons a tattered t-shirt and dark pants covered by a light tunic and decorated with two belts. Kendo also sports his signature gloves, which cover his hands with several leather straps and his knuckles with metal.

Personality
Kendo is a very hot-blooded man who thrives on violence and bloodshed. He has a warrior-like mentality and all he cares about is seeking out a battle that can satisfy him. Kendo believes it's unbecoming for a fighter to use weapons and that everyone should fight with the power of their bodies.

Unlike most of the Eight Bullets, Kendo only serves Overhaul because he hopes to one day defeat him. Kendo's entire mindset revolves around provoking others into a fight to the death where he can stake his life on the line. If someone cannot satisfy that interest, Kendo wants nothing to do with them. If someone can give him the thrill he seeks, Kendo shows them great respect.

To a certain degree, Kendo appears to have his own sense of honor. He would rather fight alone and win with his own strength than fight alongside Hekiji Tengai. Kendo also allowed Fat Gum to take Eijiro Kirishima to heal so they can fight again sometime.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Being an Eight Bullets member of the Shie Hassaikai, Kendo is a very formidable individual.


 * Immense Strength: Kendo has great strength as his fists were powerful enough to break through Eijiro's Red Riot Unbreakable technique with a single punch that sent his opponent flying. The pure shock of his blows was able to injure Fat Gum and nearly defeat him in one on one combat. Both of whom are known for excelling at defense, could only defend against Kendo's blows by working together.

Quirk
Strongarm (強肩): Kendo's Quirk allows him to rotate his shoulders at extreme speed, allowing him to attack his targets with a near-endless barrage of bullet punches. His Quirk can only stay active for a few seconds at a time, but this is all the time Kendo needs to wear down his opponents.

Trivia

 * Kendo's last name means thug or villain (乱波). His first name contains the kanji for shoulder (肩) and movement (動).
 * With his bloodthirsty nature and violent Quirk, Kendo seems to represent a corrupted version of the first tenet of the actual eight precepts of Buddhism: do not kill other living things.
 * According to Horikoshi, Kendo is very fun to draw.
 * He joined the world of street fighting as an act of rebellion against his overly strict parents.
 * His first name is the same as Itsuka's last name, but they are spelled differently.
 * Kendo is the only one of the Eight Bullets who is not a C-Rank Villain.
