He is known as the Karate KingGSCHGSS (Japanese: カラテだいおう Great Karate King).
In the games
Kiyo is found training at Mt. Mortar. To reach him, the player must 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.

| Tyrogue was abandoned by his original Trainer in the mountains. This caused it to become bitter and begin lashing out at any human who approached it. It wore a blue neckerchief as a reminder of its abandonment. At some point, it befriended a wild Mankey and Primeape, and together, the trio committed a number of mischievous acts in nearby villages.
One day, Tyrogue leaped in to save Misty's Togepi from some rampaging Tauros. Later, it gave a trio of wild Pokémon some fruit to eat after noticing they were hungry. After Jessie stole fruit from a Sandshrew, Tyrogue attacked Team Rocket and sent them blasting off. Later, Kiyo battled Tyrogue with his Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, but both of his Pokémon were defeated. Kiyo then battled Tyrogue himself and won, earning Tyrogue's respect in the process. He gave Tyrogue a new red neckerchief, made from his own armband, to commemorate the new friendship. Tyrogue's known moves are Swift, Tackle, Headbutt, Double Team, and Jump Kick*. | ||
