## Image Gallery

**Kangtawoo** is a main supporting character in *"**Kangtawoo (Webtoon)**,*" and a minor antagonist in Season 2 of "***Housekeeper***." It is a enormous robot built to fight for the Okta Kingdom. Piloted by Kawooka, both fell into deep sleep in ice for a long unknown time until Hyeon Kang appeared, awaking them both from slumber. Kangtawoo decided to make Hyeon Kang its second pilot, transferring Okta Particles to him.

### MK1

Kangtawoo has a unique shape for a robot mecha. It has a pill-shape body with a small semi-sphere head. The chest has a large blue insect eye-like chest armor with a triangular tip with a neon circle protruding outward. With the head, it almost has an owl-like face with big bright neon blue eyes with small mouth (or not at all). There is a notable triangular yellow head piece with a single spike on top of its head. Around the knuckles, shoulders, and side of the forelegs have more spikes. The shoulder is a sphere with an antenna protruding out.

### MK2

During mark 2, Kangtawoo is notably different. The body is more slender; going with a Gundam-type style. It seems that it is much more taller than mark 1. The spikes and antennas are gone as well. The shoulders are different with a more cylindrical shape with blue neon energy emitting from it. The color design is much more vibrant although subdued from mark 1.

## Personality

**Main Work**
It is a bit unclear if Kangtawoo even has the capability to have emotions or thoughts. Although it does have an A.I., it is very basic; not advanced like the androids from "Housekeeper." There were some instance that Kangtawoo may had talked when it first rescued Hyeon Kang and then talked to him in a cryptic message. However, it is implied that it may have a will of its own as it is also has organic strucutre, thus it may a will. This is evidenced when a panel showing Kangtawoo rescuing Hyeon for the first time.

In addition, according to the official website, it does have a hobby that it enjoys being fixed, which indicates that it may have some mind of its own but this was not displayed in the webtoon.

## Background

**Main Work**
Kangtawoo is the most powerful weapon in the Okta Kingdom, with it being the backbone of its military. It is also important in their culture as bonding with Kangtawoo through pain is significant as Kawooka render it as a "privilege" to be one with the weapon. Such, it was mass produced in the war against Spelta. With at least 51 known Kangtawoos. It is presumed that during the war and the ice age, this Kangtawoo become it last one of its kind as every other were destroyed. Becoming encased in ice in the North Pole with Kawooka.

Supposedly, Kangtawoo is not entirely mechanical as it has organic structures, which may lead to a will of its own, as proclaimed by the Okta Prince.

**All Works**

In **Housekeeper Season 2**, as it is a different dimension, the events may have unfolded different. For one, Kangtawoo was mentioned to be underground somewhere frozen in Russia. However, it may have been that scientists moved him from the artic there, although there seem to be no signs of that. Either way, when it was found, the World United Government studied it to develop technology using the Okta Particles. It seems that it was later moved to PA-007 in the North Sea for further study and was eventually left at the bottom of the ocean, which seems kind of odd. It only later activates when Hasty passes by.
In **Marco Polo's Travel to Multiverse**, Hasty sends Kangtawoo from the Housekeeper dimension to assist Marco. Interestly enough, Marco is able to pilot it which either means Marco has Okta Particles or Hasty had made modifications to it so anyone could pilot it without Okta Particles.

## Plot Overview

### Kangtawoo

#### Artic Expedition

Kangtawoo was still encased in ice in the North Pole. When the Tiagoron attacked the Arion and fling Hyeon Kang in the air. It somehow activated and rescued him. Later, it presumed to talk to him in cryptic message of allowing him to take in the Okta Particles from Kawooka. It and Hyeon fights against the Tiagoron, winning but with decent damage inflicted. it was then left behind in the ice.

#### Attack on Busan

When Pepe and Avagoron attacks Busan, Hyeon and Kawooka calls forth Kangtawoo by using dimension anchor to bring it to Busan. Heyon uses Kangtawoo to fight but was inflicted major damage as its right hand is severed. It did eventually win and laid stationed in Busan with Kawooka's Kawooka Care putting a barrier over it for protection. it then became a world wide sensation as now aliens exist to the public.

#### Retrieval of Okta Particles

It was completely stationed where it was last located until it was activated by Hyeon to fight against Deta and his Barclops. It was inflicted with severe damaged, rendering it near destruction but utilizing Assault Dagger, it destroys the Barclops near the ocean with a boosted punch.

#### Declaration of War

Just after the fight against Deta, Spelta commander and Pepe arrived. Hyeon uses Kangtawoo to fight despite their exhuasted and severe damaged. It was knocked out in one attack by the Yalton. Then its Oktium Morning Star was taken by the commander as it was originally his. It was then transported into an Okta Hanager by Kawooka so it can be repaired.

#### High School Fight Arc

Needing resources and money, Bongchun Kim ask help from Manager Park, a member of Daehan Group, to supply them, which he eventually agreed. Behind the scenes, Kawooka and Bongchun repairs Kangtawoo, giving it a new form: mark 2.

#### Reveal of a Hero

When Pepe and Yalton attacks once more as the commander senses Hyeon's heating level 100%, Kangtawoo was called forth from the hanger as Hyeon activates it to defend for Earth. It was capable and easily defeated Pep, using its new morning star to finish him in one blow.

### Housekeeper (Season 2)

In the Housekeeper Dimension, it had crash-landed into Earth with its pilot, "Kawooka." After, it appears to somehow aquired recordings of cavemen and in the future, humans serving androids. It is unclear when but both were frozen in the Antartc. Then beefore world war 2, the soviet union discovered it from the North Pole and brought it to the Soveit Bolshevik Institute, Russia. Sometime later, Adolf Hitler acquired the innstitute and by 1940, he sent Dorothy Crawford and Professor Oppenheimer there to find a way to activate and study Kangtawoo.
Dorothy, Oppenhimer, and the rest of Team Oz studied and reserched to the point that they had somehow replicate its blueprints and Okta Particles. However, they could never found a way to activate it. Sometime later, for some reason, it was then laying in the sea bed of P-007 with chains holding it.

A Robot From the Sea
    At around the later half of the months of the year 1977, Kangtawoo was laying in the ocean floor near PA-007 sector until Hasty and her team travelled over that area, activating Kangtawoo as it likely sensed Hasty's high amount of Okta Particles in her. Kangtawoo attacks Hasty and the team, whic they are forced to engage in battle. Kangtawoo proved a difficult opponent until Hasty decided to talk to it as she doesn't want to fight. Understanding, it tried to communicate in encrypted language until they both connected. It showed Hasty some recordings from cavemen to androids being served by humans. After, they were interrupted when the team continuing to fight Kangtawoo until it fell into the ocean.
However it gradually came back to attack but Neil Armstrong faces against it and defeated it. It fell into the ocean again as Kawooka is seen inside, encased in ice.

### Super String: Marco Polo's Travel to Multiverse (Webtoon)

**Functions** - There are many functions and others misc. that Kangtawoo has.

* Mandatory Okta Particle - Okta Particles are needed to pilot Kangtawoo. There is also a Particle supply.
* Particle Heating Level - As the heated Okta Particles increase the strain of Kangtawoo's body, more pain will be transmitted. In return, operation efficiency increases which allows new weapons to be activated.
* Auto Eject - If the pilot is in shock or is damaged, then Kangtawoo will auto eject the pilot.
* Safety Mode - It will force itself to stop moving for 10 secs, despite the pilot's wishes.
* Battery Level - Kangtawoo needs to be charged. When it is 12%, it only has 15 minutes before ceasing function.
* Projection Mode - Pilots can use each other's battle data and use it during battle. Such as Hyeon using Kawooka's data to make his stance lighter.
* Pain Synchronization - Any damage that Kangtawoo takes, the pilot will feel as well.

* Command HQ Connection - Kangtawoo is connected to Kawooka's homebase which activates various function and weapons separately.

**MK1 Weapons**

Activates when heating level is at 95%. It is estimated that a total of 12 double-edged swords embedded in Kangtawoo's arms and legs. It can be fired like a missile. Is used both offensively and defensively.

**MK2 Weapons** - With the new Kangtawoo, it has a new weapon. It is likely certain to have retain its previous weapons.

A recent version of the morning star. The main difference is that the hand is reconfigured into the Morning Star by condensing plasma energy into the hand. It is said that it was redesigned so that it would not be stolen at all, considering as previous morning star was either severed or stolen. It is likely to be activated when heating level is at 100%

**All Works**

Its abilities and weaponry are exactly the same. However, there were couple of new functions. It is possible that the main dimension Kangtawoo has these functions but has not shown any currently.
* Okta Particle Detection - it can detect Okta Particles if it is an immense powerful and abundant as it had detected Hasty's core, which activates it.
* Auto Mode - Without a pilot controlling it, it has to rely on auto-combat mode. During this mode, it can only use less than 5% of its power.

**Marco Travel to Multiverse**
Its abilities and weaponry seem to be the same, even using the Morning Star. However, there is a added function. It is possible that the main dimension Kangtawoo has these functions but has not shown any currently.
* Back Rocket Propellers - There are rocket propellers on Kangtawoo's back that enable him to fly up into space. Kawooka uses it to fly Kangtawoo to outer space.

## Trivia

* It likes being repaired by Kawooka and when it was made is unknown.
* Kangtawoo is one of the original characters in the old, "Kangtawoo, Iron Man Comic." There is no difference as the old Kangtawoo's design and most of the attacks are referenced in the remake webtoon.
* In Housekeeper, it was defeated rather easily. However because it was in auto mode, its full power was not used. If it was in full power, it would had either won or proved a difficult stalemate.
* Korean readers heavily criticized when Kangtawoo Mark II was shown. It was disliked as the unique design of Mark I is replaced with a generic gundam style.
* In the Super String Mobile Game:
	+ Kangtawoo doesn't appear as a playable character, but is featured in Hyeon Kang and Kawooka's skill set.
		- Kawooka: It appears in Mark I and used its "Morning Star" but is thrown.
