— Kyodai Ken

Kyodai Ken was a former disciple of Yoru-sensei until he was cast out of the dojo for trying to steal Yoru's sacred weapons. During his time in Yoru's dojo, he shared classes with Bruce Wayne and would always defeat him with ease.

History

After being banned from the dojo, he swore to get revenge against Bruce for ruining his plans and years later he appeared in Gotham City to accomplish his plan. He was eventually stopped by Bruce Wayne, who finally could overcome Kyodai and beat him in a fair fight.
Deducing from observing Batman's fighting style that he and Bruce Wayne were the same person, Ken kidnapped a student of Yoro-Sensei, demanding the location of a scroll that details paralyzing and fatal Ki touch attacks techniques, so dangerous that their creator hid them away from the world. The Sensei calls Bruce, who delivers the scroll as Batman, and saves the student. Kyodai finds the scrolls have largely turned to dust, but still managed to find and learn the fatal touch technique. He kidnaps Alfred and lures Batman to a final showdown at the base of an erupting volcano. Both unmasking, they fight, and Kyodai seemingly kills Bruce by using the touch on him, however he found his target practice dummy and realized where the fatal spot is, and used a protective vest in that location. Defeating Kyodai, Bruce throws a rope to save him from the lava, but he kicks it away, seemingly perishing in the explosion.
