Changes: Kenzo Kabuto/TV

Revision as of 23:53, 15 March 2014

Dr. Kenzo Kabuto is the son of Juzo Kabuto, father of Koji and Shiro Kabuto, legal guardian of Tetsuya Tsurugi and Jun Hono, and the creator of the Great Mazinger. At first assumed to be dead from an accident, he was really hiding away in anticipation for the Mycenae Empire and made several preparations for the upcoming threat.

Background

At some point, Kenzo had married and fathered his sons Koji and Shiro. Working with his wife and father on a project in a lab, there was an accident that Juzo caused. Juzo revived his son by making Kenzo into a cyborg. Unable to face his nuclear family in his current state, Kenzo went into hiding while Juzo would look after his family. At some point, he learned of the Mycenae Empire; taking in two orphans: Tetsuya Tsurugi and Jun Hono to train them to confront the threat. Using his father's schematics of the Mazinger Z; Kenzo improved on the design to create the Great Mazinger.

Personality

Kenzo is a loving father that only wants the best for his family; leaving his sons behind to protect them from the psychological shock of him becoming a cyborg. While Kenzo took in Tetsuya and Jun for the sole purpose of defeating the Mycenae Empire, he treats them both as though they were his own children. With the threat of the Mycenae Empire, Kenzo became more than determined to defeat them at all costs. He is also rather secretive, not coming onto the surface unless the need is high.

Relationships

Kabuto Family

Kenzo has a great respect and gratitude for his late father Juzo Kabuto both for bringing back from the brink of death and for looking after his family while he was in hiding. Shiro was uncertain about his father partway through the series. When Koji returned with a strengthened Mazinger, Kenzo decided to open up to him and at the end sacrificing himself to make sure they survive.

Tetsuya & Jun

Kenzo found Tetsuya and Jun in an orphanage many years prior to the series and took them in as his own family. He was very close with Tetsuya, raising him as his own son; which Tetsuya deeply respects in return. Jun also respects Kenzo, but is not as close to him as Tetsuya is.

History

After Tetsuya saved Koji and Mazinger Z with the Great Mazinger; he brought the team from Photon Power Laboratory to the Science Fortress Laboratory where Kenzo revealed himself to Gennosuke Yumi. Kenzo revealed how he is still alive to Dr. Yumi and discusses about future events, not ready to meet his sons yet. With Koji and

Sayaka Yumi's departure, Kenzo served the same role as Dr. Yumi as Tetsuya's advisor in battle.

With the Great General of Darkness's defeat, Great Marshall of Hell attacked, with the Science Fortress Laboratory suffering major damage. Koji and Sayaka came back with stronger versions of their giant robots to help out. Kenzo and his sons decide to finally meet after a very long time. They spent much time together (which made Tetsuya jealous) until another attack by Hell killed him. Kenzo was avenged when Koji and Tetsuya worked together to deal the finishing blow to Hell with Z and Great.

Etymology

The 'Ken' in Kenzo means sword which can be used to connect Kenzo to Tetsuya Tsurugi since his family name is an older way of saying sword.
