Officially confirmed by Eurogamer, Takeda is now Kenshi’s cousin in this new era. He liked being part of the Yakuza and was ordered to kill Kenshi, but he failed and the Shirai Ryu took him in. Now he’s a vigilante trying to take down the criminal underworld for revenge. This is why no light sabers and more Shirai Ryu focus with the teleport and his heated whips.
The rumor is he is Kenshi's relative... just not his son. It honestly makes sense to have both characters not dad & son so they both can be near the same age at their prime.
My head canon is that Kenshi in MKX named his son after his cousin, (most likely dead in that timeline). Conveniently Takeda (MK1) looks just like his nephew, it's genetics and plausible (especially in fiction). Though I wonder how Fire God Lui Kang and Geras would think about this... or even mention his nephew.

This is the new Timeline created by Liu Kang, in this timeline Takeda is no Kenshi son, but his cousing, sent by the Yakuza to kill Kenshi, but he lost the fight and almost died against Kenshi, who sent him to the Shirai Ryu where Takeda will become a better person, and a better ninja xD.
You’ve missed a lot man. I can’t stop playin it honestly. It’s fresh every time I pick it up 🤷🏻♂️ which is several times a day… every day… not even close to running out of ways to play. I hope they adjust the meta so people use more than 5 characters online 🙄 but I think some people must’ve never quite figured out how to play. Either that, or they’re dead inside 😜
