In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Kiyo can be found in [[Lumiose City]], trying to start a new Fighting Dojo at a small apartment he has rented in Centrico Boulevard. His business doesn't seem to be running smoothly, however, as a {{tc|Battle Girl}} at the apartment tells that he's only getting new students signing up by telling them he's running a dance studio.

Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko) is a Black Belt and the Master of Fighting Dojo who appeared in games and the anime. He is also referred to as the Karate Master in Generations I and III, while in Generations II and IV, he is known as the Karate King.

In the games

Black Belt Kiyo is a leader of Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. At one point, Kiyo was the Gym Leader of Saffron City until his Gym lost official privileges as a result of a duel between himself and Sabrina. It has since become a place where he and his students train Karate. The player obtains a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonchan as a reward for beating Kiyo. Later, in Generation II and their remakes, he is found training at Mt. Mortar. To reach him, the player much travel through a lengthy maze section within the mountain. Upon defeating him, Kiyo will give the player a Tyrogue if there is an empty slot in the party. His Karate Gym in Saffron is disbanded now, but one of Kiyo's students can still be found there.

In Pokémon X and Y, Kiyo can be found in Lumiose City, trying to start a new Fighting Dojo at a small apartment he has rented in Centrico Boulevard. His business doesn't seem to be running smoothly, however, as a Battle Girl at the apartment tells that he's only getting new students signing up by telling them he's running a dance studio.

His name wasn't revealed until Generation II. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen he is misnamed Koichi (Japanese: タケノリ Takenori) due to an oversight by the original Japanese producers.

Kiyo saved Tyrogue from a rock slide and later defeated him as a human in a Pokémon battle, earning his respect. Tyrogue and his wild Pokémon friends then joined Kiyo's team.
