How Reiko joined the Tourney
Reiko is a grim and stoic looking man with a penchant for brutality. He was originally introduced in a typical ninja archetype in Mortal Kombat 4. Reiko also has several similarities to Shao Kahn and has developed a desire to become the ruler of Outworld.
After becoming Ruler of Outworld after the death of Shao Kahn, he planned to succeed where Shao Kahn had failed: conquer Earthrealm. He arranged plans of several coups in many countries, and targeted Mario.
How to unlock
- Complete Survival Mode with Shao Kahn.
- Play 492 matches

Alternatively, tyou can avoid clashing with him by wishing for him from Shenron, or purchasing him for 725 Smash coins in the Smash Store. After defeating Reiko, wishing for him from Shenron, or purchasing him from the Smash Store, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use Shao Kahn's mutinous general, Reiko!" He will be seen left of Validar, right of Brad (Sin and Punishment), above Zant and below Liquid Snake.

Shruiken Barrage (Hyper Smash)
Based on his second Mortal Kombat 4 Fatality. Reiko throws a deadly multitude of shurikens at the opponent, covering the entire body before throwing the last one to the head. The opponent then dies in a puddle of their own blood with a life lost from the stock.
imperial Execution (Final Smash)
Similar to Shao Kahn's Boss Fatality from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Reiko boasts to the crowd and gives the opponent a thumbs down. If the prey falls for it, he then pounds the opponent several times with his spiked club eventually breaking their neck with a Star KO scream and a life taken from the stock.
