John Tobias said that Motaro was inspired by a Micronauts toy figure of Baron Karza, which could be turned into a centaur by combining the toy with a horse figure packaged alongside it. Motaro is the only character from the first three installments not present during gameplay of the 2011 reboot he only appears in the story mode's cinematics, which depict him being killed by Raiden. He returns in Armageddon as a bipedal minotaur due to a curse placed on his species by the Shokan. In addition to his immense strength, he possesses the abilities to teleport, fire energy blasts from his tail, and deflect opponents' projectiles. A four-legged Centaurian, he leads Shao Kahn's extermination squads during the invasion of Earthrealm. Motaro is the sub-boss of Mortal Kombat 3 and its updates.

Kintaro has received a middling reception due to his minor role in the series and is often unfavorably compared to previous sub-boss Goro. Kintaro appears in the sequel Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms voice by Dave B. According to series co-creator John Tobias, Kintaro was redesigned as a "Goro spinoff" who was possibly a Shokan general, but not royalty. He was initially conceived for MKII as an anthropomorphic fur-lined bipedal tiger, but the concept was scrapped due to the difficulty of creating such a complicated outfit. The character was a stop-motion clay figure whose design was inspired by the Japanese mythological character Kintarō. In the Mortal Kombat X comic, Kintaro is revealed to have been killed by Sonya Blade between the events of the 2011 reboot and Mortal Kombat X while she was being controlled by Havik. The reboot also establishes him as being responsible for Kabal's injuries. In the reboot, he is defeated by Kung Lao during the tournament. Kintaro participates in Shao Kahn's attempt to conquer Earthrealm during the second game's tournament, where he is defeated by Liu Kang. A Shokan, he shares his species' four arms and imposing size, but is distinguished by his tiger-like stripes. He is also the penultimate boss of Shaolin Monks. Kintaro is the sub-boss of Mortal Kombat II and a sub-boss in the 2011 reboot. Main article: Jax (Mortal Kombat) Kintaro Voiced by: Rhasaan Orange ( MK 2011), Dave B.
