A mental focus keeps Kenshi sharp.

Mortal Kombat is an intense, mature, gruesome fighting game that debuted on October 8, 1992. Since then there have been 11 main series games and a few spinoffs.

When we think of video game fighters, we usually imagine able-bodied characters with ideal physical traits and mental strength, but not all characters fit that definition. Kenshi first appeared in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and has been in two other games: Mortal Kombat 9 and Mortal Kombat X. He’s a skilled swordsman with telekinetic abilities, but he is also blind.

Kenshi is of Japanese heritage as shown by his katana that he uses for his mystical powers. While he may be blind, he actually has heightened senses due to his abilities. He is widowed, but he does have a son, Takeda, who is also very skilled

Kenshi is an impressive character with cool and awesome power and, while some might see it as a challenge, his blindness is an asset that enhances his skill.
