Kyle & Ken Katayanagi

Kyle & Ken Katayanagi
Names:	(Left to Right): Kyle and Ken Katayanagi
Powers:	Double-Team Attacks and Robots

Kyle & Ken Katayanagi are Ramona Flowers' fifth and sixth evil exes. Scott has to fight them at the same time, to his disadvantage. They are the primary antagonists of Volume 5 (although the soap opera elements dominate the book and the Katayanagis are kept mostly in the background).

Powers

While Ken and Kyle do not have many "special powers", they do not like to get their hands dirty, and use several robots to attack Scott Pilgrim. They do make use of a number of tag-team moves when fighting hand-to-hand as an homage to Double Dragon.

Defeated

Scott ends up having to fight the twins 4 times before really winning the battle.

The first time is at Julie Powers' Mexican Day of the Dead party where he defeats Robot-01 while Kim and Ramona go out on the balcony for a smoke and talk. Robot-01 is a smaller robot and seen knocked out when Kim Pine and Ramona come back inside. This disappoints Scott when he finds out there's no reward for this fight.

The second battle pits Scott against another of the twins' robots at Sneaky Dee's during the concert they intend to perform which goes disastrously. Again, this battle is glazed over as we're again set to listen to Ramona talking, this time, with Knives, and the only action we catch is the end where Scott decapitates the robot with his bass, breaking both in the process.

The third match is at another of Julie's parties where she clinging to both the twins now. Ramona heads out onto the balcony while Scott fights again to be bothered by Kyle with a bottle of booze, and then Kim Pine who snaps a pic of her head glowing (which she doesn't want to talk about). The aftermath of the fight is seen with Scott standing over the robot (this one much larger than the prior two) with its arm ripped off and head removed.

The final battle puts Scott against both the twins who specialize in tag-team tandem moves giving Scott a total disadvantage, while Kim is held hostage in a swinging cage nearby. Scott gets the crap kicked out of his while the Twins demoralize him, but Kim intervenes with her cell phone claiming (falsely) that she received a message from Ramona who can't wait to see him soon. Scott, inspired by this, fights back and defeats the Twins simultaneously with knees to the head for a bonus, and unlocks an achievement.

Personality

Kyle and Ken are both incredibly arrogant. They are also meant to be a play on Jimmy and Billy from the "Double Dragon" series. Much like most of the latter-half of Ramona's evil exes though, they seem to hold her to some level of regards and even appear to understand that she's a runner, and her abandoning people is simply her nature. They also appear to understand that getting back at Ramona takes more than getting to Ramona to get to Scott, but anyone close to Scott, thus why they target Kim.

In vs. The World

Kyle & Ken Katayanagi are played by Shota and Keita Saito.

After a heated argument with Scott at the fallout of the fight against Roxie Richter, Ramona gave him a lamenated list of the Evil Exes before storming off. The Katayanagi were not only on that list as Evil Exes 5 and 6, they were also the next opponents in the music tournament. A frustrated Scott said that he not only wants to take part in the battle, but also want to "take the twins apart". To their horror however, it was set to be an Amp vs. Amp battle, a one-on-one on the same set rather than indivudual turns.

The twins to take on Scott and Sex Bob-omb as dual keyboard players, and at first seem to gain the upper hand after summoning a pair of dragons from their speakers, But a determined Scott motivates the band to up the ante, summoning a gorilla-like creature. The twins were defeated and with enough points, Scott managed to earn an Extra Life.
