Reiko

Reiko is an antagonist in Netherrealm's Mortal Kombat series, debuting in Mortal Kombat 4 as one of Shao Kahn's top generals. While initially designed as a standard ninja archetype, later games have given him a redesign that closely resembles Shao Kahn's own armor, as a reference to Reiko himself seeking to take his place as the emperor of Outworld.
Before his creation, a previously established character named Noob Saibot (the original Sub-Zero, a.k.a. Bi-Han) was planned for inclusion in Mortal Kombat 4, but after Netherrealm faced criticism for the overabundance of ninjas in Mortal Kombat Trilogy (a remake of the first three games) and the fact that Saibot tended to blend in too well with some stages due to his entirely black outfit, his model was swapped out for a new character (i.e. Reiko).
