Martial Arts Robe

The Martial Arts Robe (けんぽうぎ, Kenpō Gi) is a type of equipment available in several games of the Suikoden series. It was localized as the Karate Uniform in the 1996 English localization of Suikoden.

The Martial Arts Robe is a good early game piece of equipment. It is the highest vest armor easily available before travelling through the Great Forest.
