Like Goro, Kintaro is a Shokan, a race native to Outworld. Before the Outworld tournament, Kintaro was Shao Kahn's bodyguard. He wasn't the most intelligent fighter in Outworld, but he made up for it with brute strength. When Shao Kahn held a tournament in Outworld as a diversion to his real plan to resurrect Sindel, he chose Kintaro to be one of the fighters who would battle the Earth warriors. Kintaro accepted because he had no choice, and because he wanted the chance to restore honor to his race after the humiliating defeat and apparent death of Goro. Kintaro proved to be tough to beat in the Outworld tournament, but in the end he was defeated by Kung Lao. After this, Kahn's respect for the Shokan was almost gone, so Kintaro was not allowed to be part of the invasion of Earth, and a Centaurian named Motaro was appointed general of Kahn's armies. Kintaro's resentment over his defeat eventually turned into resentment toward Motaro. After Shao Kahn is defeated, he looks to Goro to give Outworld another chance to win the Earth realm. To get Goro's support, Kahn knows he has to make it seem that he's once again supporting the Shokan. He offers Kintaro a place in his army once again, also promising that his position would be higher than Motaro's. Kintaro hesitantly joins Kahn once again, partly out of his love for Sheeva, another Shokan in Kahn's army, and partly because of his hatred for Motaro. Kintaro is hoping that during this new tournament he'll be able to confront Motaro, and kill him.
