Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics | Body Control (Can effortlessly switch from Defensive Shaori/Xiao-Lee to Offensive Shaori/Xiao-Lee. The Shaori/Xiao-Lee is a technique even characters like Retsu Kaioh and Ryu Kaioh haven't mastered fully. He even managed to fake his own death by stopping his heart and then restarting it moments later), Martial Arts (Has over 100 Years of knowledge about different techniques and skills), Damage Reduction (Via Defensive Shaori/Xiao-Lee), Limited Energy Manipulation and Attack Reflection via Offensive Shaori/Xiao-Lee (Absorbs energy from the opponents attacks and combines it with his own to create “the ultimate strike”), Longevity (Is 146 years old), Biological Manipulation (can use this in tandem with his Body Control to fake perfect clinical death), Resurrection (can bring himself back to life after using Body Control and Biological Manipulation to fake perfect clinical death), Weapon Mastery (Can utilize a sword in each hand. Should be as skilled as Retsu Kaioh when it comes to weaponry usage), Stealth Mastery (Snuck up on Retsu and Katsumi and stood next to them for several pages unnoticed, sneak attacked Motobe), Statistics Amplification (can perform the Hitless Blow), Information Analysis (Can identify the martial art characters use just by looking at them)
Attack Potency: At least Wall level (He fought and defeated many large beasts, very similarly to 13 years old Baki. The full extent of his power at this time, however, was never stated) | Below Average Human level physically, Town level, likely higher with complete mastery over Shaori/Xiao-Lee (Shaori/Xiao-Lee produces hyposthenia, which allows Kaku Kaioh to absorb the whole body weight of his attacker. The ultimate hypostenia can absorb, contain and release 'the ultimate punch'. Using this technique to perfection, Kaku Kaioh, even though physically far weaker, was able to go toe-to-toe with Yujiro Hanma and even backed him into a corner for one moment)

Intelligence: Kaku Kaioh, due to his more than a century-long years of experience and learning, as well as perfecting the weaknesses of his abilities, has a vast variety of knowledge, especially over martial arts. He is a perceptive character who can very easily see through the mentality of another person, how they prefer to fight, their level of power, etc. He's very clever, as he escaped a certain death by the hands of Yujiro Hanma through very deceptive tactics. He draws his inspiration from his own past misguidance, as well as life all around him.
Weaknesses: While very strong, he had no skills, as he saw martial arts as nothing but a cheap joke. | Physically weak. Relies too much on his techniques. Yujiro's 'Ultimate Violence' could easily break through Kaku's perfected 'Xiao-Lee/Shaori'. Ramming against walls is effective against Xiao-Lee. Tearing a hair from the user of Xiao Lee can make his body rigid for a fraction of a second. Never uses scare tactics.
