[[Category: | |||
Kenzo is the current {{wp|Shihan}} of his own {{wp|dojo}} located between {{ci|Goldenrod}} and [[Ecruteak City]]. However, because he was getting older, he decided to pass on his duties to someone else. A likely candidate was his granddaughter [[Chigusa]], but he was concerned with her battling strategy, which focused on making her Pokémon's [[move]]s look pretty. | |||
After {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} battled a rampaging {{p|Tauros}}, saving Kenzo from injury in the process, Kenzo saw some potential in the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} in becoming an heir to his dojo. He escorted Ash and {{ashfr}} to his dojo institution, and provoked Chigusa into challenging Ash to a battle. However, [[Shiro]] arrived on the scene and challenged Kenzo for the title of the dojo instead. | |||
Kenzo called on {{p|Machoke}}, but he forfeited the challenge because he and Machoke suffered from bad backs. He reluctantly allowed Chigusa to take on Shiro, in the hopes that she would protect the dojo's namesake. The match was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s arrival, but the two opponents agreed to battle each other the following day. Overnight, Kenzo scolded his granddaughter for her flawed battling strategy and pushed Ash into helping Chigusa realize her mistakes. As predicted, Chigusa did not deviate from her typical battling style and ultimately lost to Ash and Bulbasaur. Chigusa finally realized her flawed focus on style rather than teamwork and went on to practice with Ash for the rest of the night. | |||
The following day, Kenzo was pleased to see that Chigusa had indeed learned her lessons as she defeated Shiro in battle. As Ash and his friends prepared to depart, Kenzo admitted that he now believed Chigusa had the skills to become the dojo's next Shihan, with some further training. | |||

* Kenzo's name was likely lost in translation, as ゲ ''Ge'' is derivative of ケ ''Ke'' with a diacritical mark. | |||
