Kingambit is a humanoid Pokémon whose appearance resembles a samurai. Its body is mostly red and black, with gold accents on its torso and helmet-like head. The blade on its head has grown tremendously from its time as a {{p|Bisharp}}, extending upward into a large machete shape with a sword-shaped indentation on it. It also has a large mustache composed of two black, red-lined blades, and two bright red circles on either side of its front torso. From its waist protrude two pairs of curved blades, somewhat resembling the omega (Ω) symbol. These curved blades surround Kingambit's body and its golden, ridged forearms. Additionally, Kingambit has long, curved, black hair that completely shields its back, and is sturdy enough for it to sit on as well as ride upon. Kingambit can form its prehensile hair into spikes to strike its foes with.

Kingambit is flawed at devising complex strategies, but is still extremely powerful, acting as the head of Bisharp colonies and capable of leading a huge army of troops into brute-force battle. It is said that only the strongest Bisharp evolve into Kingambit. Kingambit has a battle-hungry disposition, and will not stop until it gets what it desires.<ref name=SVTrainersGuide>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/trainers-guide/complete-your-paldea-region-pokedex/ Complete Your Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Pokédex]."

Commanding many colonies of {{p|Pawniard}} and Bisharp as its personal army, Kingambit is a powerful force in battle. It has a battle-hungry disposition, and will not stop until it gets what it desires.<ref name=SVTrainersGuide>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/trainers-guide/complete-your-paldea-region-pokedex/ Complete Your Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Pokédex]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Trainer's Guide.</ref> However, it is not strategically adept, so it typically seeks to win its battles through brute force with sheer numbers. It is said that only the strongest Bisharp can evolve into Kingambit.


Kingambit is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kowtow Cleave}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Supreme Overlord}} as an [[Ability]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Kingambit may be based on a {{wp|samurai}} and a {{wp|shogun}} or {{wp|daimyo}}. It gives an appearance as if it is sitting on a {{wp|throne}}; specifically, the black and red motif is reminiscent of the {{wp|Chrysanthemum Throne}}. 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. To be more specific, its red coloring and moustache-like blades above its mouth are reminiscent of {{wp|Takeda Shingen}}'s armor. It gives an appearance as if it is seated on a stool on the battlefield.
 
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 of samurai helmet.
 
Like the rest of its evolutionary line, Kingambit may draw inspiration from chess pieces (a king, in this case). Its Speed stat being lower than Bisharp may allude to the king's more limited range of movement. The large blade on its head and the curved shape of its hair make its body resemble a giant {{wp|broadsword}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Kingambit may be a combination of ''king'' and ''gambit''; both words are applicable terms used in {{wp|chess}} (including in the opening known as the {{wp|King's Gambit}}). It may also include the word ''{{wp|karambit}}''.
Kingambit may be a combination of ''king'' and ''gambit''; both words are applicable terms used in {{wp|chess}} (including in the opening known as the {{wp|King's Gambit}}, described by Spanish chess player {{wp|Luis Ramírez de Lucena}} in ''Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez'', one of the earliest chess books). It may also be derived from the word ''{{wp|karambit}}''.


Dodogezan may be a combination of ど ''do'' (very much), 土下座 ''{{wp|dogeza}}'' (kneeling down on the ground), and 斬 ''zan'' (to cut or slay). ドゲザン ''Dogezan'' is also the Japanese name for the move {{m|Kowtow Cleave}}.
