Kingambit may be based on a {{wp|shogun}} or {{wp|daimyo}} commanding an army of {{wp|samurai}}-themed subordinates. It gives an appearance as if it is seated on a stool in the battlefield. Given the insect-like motifs in Bisharp, Kingambit also vaguely resembles a {{wp|rhinoceros beetle}}: its hair, the blade on its head, and the curved blades on its waist resemble the beetle's carapace, horn, and legs, respectively; and its prostrating stance before attacking opponents with its blade is similar to how rhinoceros beetles fight each other | Kingambit may be based on a {{wp|shogun}} or {{wp|daimyo}} commanding an army of {{wp|samurai}}-themed subordinates.

Given the insect-like motifs in its pre-evolutions Pawniard and Bisharp, Kingambit also vaguely resembles a {{wp|rhinoceros beetle}}: its hair, the blade on its head, and the curved blades on its waist resemble the beetle's carapace, horn, and legs, respectively; and its prostrating stance before attacking opponents with its blade is similar to how rhinoceros beetles fight each other. This inspiration might have come from the fact that {{wp|Japanese rhinoceros beetle}}s are called 甲虫 ''kabutomushi'' in Japanese, literally "{{wp|Kabuto}} insect", where Kabuto is a type samurai helmet. | |||
