Kiyo

Kiyo is a one-time character in the Pokémon anime, appearing in the Johto region episode "A Tyrogue Full of Trouble!" (episode 233 of the original series).

He is a strong, dedicated martial artist and Black Belt who trained under Chuck, the Cianwood City Gym Leader. Kiyo is depicted as kind-hearted and patient, with a focus on discipline and hand-to-hand combat skills. In the episode, he encounters a troublesome, abandoned Tyrogue that keeps causing chaos. After trying to befriend it, Kiyo ultimately earns the Tyrogue's respect by defeating it in a direct, no-Pokémon physical fight (using his own martial arts abilities). This leads to Tyrogue choosing to become his friend and partner.

He's portrayed as a calm, mature trainer who values earning trust through strength and understanding rather than force. This version of Kiyo is distinct from the Fighting Dojo leader in the games.
