Kengo Benimaru Shadow

**Kengo Benimaru Shadow** is an anti-Kengo Benimaru robot made by Lady-Banazarre. In contrast to Benimaru's coloration - red and white, with yellow eyes - Benimaru is painted black and yellow, has red eyes, pointed ears and boots, and a helmet. He used his full power against Kengo Benimaru, but was destroyed in his final battle against his true counterpart.

## History

### Team Tardis Incorporated

#### Season 14: SKIP, Ready? Go!

##### Trivia

* Voice actor: Takeru Watanabe
* Kengo Benimaru Shadow is the first robot Yo-kai Hero that wasn't designed to be a perfect duplicate of their living rival, although he is clearly based on Kengo Benimaru in terms of his design. Instead, Shadow was created as a purpose-built robotic assassin to kill the Yo-kai Hero, with this design plan being similar to that of the first Uchu Killer. For this reason, Shadow is also the second Imitation Yo-kai Hero whose purpose was not to damage the reputation of his real counterpart, with the first being Space Robot, which was built to be a test subject for Uchu Killer's copied powers.
* Unlike Kengo Benimaru, Shadow is left handed.
* Despite his supposed sophistication, Shadow was easily defeated when his Capsule Monster was thrown at him.
* Kengo Benimaru Shadow is one of the few Yo-kai Heroes (real or fake) to have multiple Color Timer sounds. A medium-pitch sound played after he was knocked down by Miraclear, while his second, a much higher, more metallic noise, played at the climax of his final battle with Kengo Benimaru.
* Kengo Benimaru Shadow's helmet is retooled and recolored from Sky Fighter's second/new helmet for his live-action stageshow appearances.
