## Lore

* Current Official Bio
* Unofficial Updated Bio
* Old Official Bio

This is Koga's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.

Once, a nameless street-rat challenged the tyrant, Zhin. For the boy's courage, and his remarkable skills, Zhin granted him a new life in the Thousand Hands Guild, along with a new name: Koga. The guild became Koga's new family and he became their finest ninja.

But, not all families get along. Out of jealousy, lies were spread and false evidence was planted. Zhin's resulting fury forced Koga to flee. The exiled ninja then fought for his new family — the Resistance — as he searched for the one who betrayed him.

Little does he know, the strings of the Thousand Hands have reached him & his allies, and his betrayer may be closer than ever.

This is an unofficial version of Koga's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.

Originally a nameless thief and street rat, he was one of the few with enough courage to challenge Zhin, leader of the Thousand Hands directly. This bravery impressed Zhin, and he took the boy in, giving him a new life, a new family, and his new name: Koga. In time, Koga became their finest ninja.

But eventually, jealousy sprouted in other members of the guild, causing lies and false evidence to be planted against him, which unfortunately Zhin believed; his ensuing rage so great Koga was forced to flee.

With the Magistrate and Thousand Hands hunting him, Koga swore vengeance on the one responsible for his exile. He joined the Resistance for unknown reasons, though his goal of vengeance remains his priority. Eventually, he returned to the Thousand Hands to take his revenge, but before he could face Zhin directly, he was interrupted by Skye.

While they all survived, Koga retreated back to the Resistance, accompanying the group as they journeyed into the Shattered Desert.

Following House Aico gaining leadership of the Magistrate, Koga joined Zhin's New Resistance, though why he seems to have no issue working with Zhin once more, despite the past conflict, is unknown.

According to Atlas, in the Lost Future, Koga would end up dying at some point.

This was Koga's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

Once, a nameless street rat challenged the tyrant Zhin. For the boy's remarkable skills, Zhin granted him a new life in the Thousands Hands Guild, and a new name: Koga. The Guild was Koga's family and he became their finest ninja. But not all families get along. Jealous lies spread, false evidence was planted, and Zhin's fury forced Koga to flee. Now the exiled ninja fights for his new family -- The Paladins -- as he searches for the one who betrayed him.

## Summary

Koga is an incredibly mobile flank champion who can swap stances, unlocking other abilities. He also has an energy bar which he uses for all his abilities. His abilities do not have cooldowns, but instead drain his energy. He can swap back and forth from his regular stance, and his Dragon Stance. When in Dragon Stance, his energy is constantly drained. Koga's primary fire are dual SMGs, which are exchanged for for his Hellkite Claws when in his Dragon Stance. The SMGs have a very high rate of fire, in contrast to the Hellkite Claws, which do high damage in burst style. Koga's second ability is a short dash which makes him untargetable for the duration. This uses 1 bar of energy. When in Dragon Stance, he dashes forward, hitting any enemy caught in his path using all his remaining energy. Koga's third ability grants him 30% more movement speed, and increased jump height. This uses 1 bar of energy. He also passively has the ability to climb walls. His ultimate strikes enemies for 1500 damage per second for 2 seconds in an area roughly the size of the payload objective. He is untargetable for the duration. Overall, he is best suited for running and dashing around due to his low health pool and high mobility.

**Lore**

* Prior to joining the Thousand Hands Guild, Koga was a thief.
* Koga appears to have had previous encounters with Lex and Buck based on kill taunts directed towards them.
* Koga's updated splash art being set in Ascension Peak is just a "fun map tie in" and seemingly isn't actually canon as having happened there.
* Though Koga's outfit has some resemblances to Rei's, the two have no connection whatsoever.
* Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Koga would be around 5'8 or 172cm tall.

* **Other**
	+ Skye and Zhin - *Koga's Updated Splash Art*

**References**

* Koga's ultimate voice line, "You're already dead..." (▶️) references a famous line from the anime Fist of the North Star.
* Koga's stunned animation references the dazed animation from Mortal Kombat II.
* Koga is named after the phonetical translation of the Kōka district, a region of Japan famous for its ninja.

**Promotion**

* Koga's teasers can be seen here:
	+ (Teaser 1) "Enough training. I'm ready for action."
	+ (Teaser 2) "You call this a dangerous mission? Give me a real challenge."
	+ (Teaser 3) "The bastards betrayed me. Framed little ol' Koga. And worst of all, Zhin believed them. So much for "family"."
	+ (Teaser 4) "The Thousand Hands and Magistrate try to hunt me. But I'm hunting, too. Whoever betrayed me, know this: I will have my revenge."

**Concepts**

* Early concepts for Koga show a number of alternate designs.
* As Koga's design neared finalization, there were still some differences, such as Koga's claws being kept around his elbows when not in use.
* The card Harsh Training originally featured Koga sitting on a rock while still wearing his mask under the waterfall.

**Other**

* Koga and Zhin's base footstep sounds originated from a cat's stomach being rubbed.
* Koga's codename was "Ninja", though his actual name was decided on very early, so his codename wasn't really used much.
* Koga was designed specifically to appeal to Naruto fans; this most likely being the reason he so closely resembles the character Kaksahi.

**Champion Skins**

* **Exile**
	+ An exile is one who is prohibited from entering their home, referencing Koga's own fate with the Thousand Hands Guild.

	+ A logo for the Paladins 2018 World Championships is present on a surfboard in these skins' splash art.
