Toni Kensa is a gear brand in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. In Splatoon 2, Toni Kensa gear is 5x more likely to roll Main Power Up (formerly Cold-Blooded) as a secondary ability, and has 0.5× chance of rolling Sub Power Up. In Splatoon 3, Toni Kensa accessories are 5x more likely to roll Ink Saver (Main), and has 0.5× chance of rolling Sub Power Up as secondary abilities.
Appearance
The brand was created by the eponymous fashion designer and produces simple, sharp clothing in black and white. Kensa's gear also tends to be very expensive, with most of their gear being 3-star items. A few of the clothes seem to be from other brands, simply recolored as black and white, such as the Toni Kensa Black Hi-Tops being the Trooper Power Stripes series (even having the logo still on the shoes' tongues) from Takoroka but in black and dark red, or the Kensa Coat being a black rebrand of Zekko coats. Most of the clothes also have a button or small red spot that shows Toni Kensa's logo.
Unlike most weapon brands, Kensa's weapons' ink barrels do not change color according to the user's ink color. The reason for this is unknown. The weapons are known to also have red clips on some of the guns.

Trivia
- The Toni Kensa logo is a stylized hiragana character "た" (ta), from the brand's Japanese name "Tataki Kensaki".
- The logo also resembles the letters T and K, the initials of "Toni Kensa" and "Tataki Kensaki".
- Toni Kensa adverts can be seen on the walls of The Reef.
- Before Version 3.1.0, an advertisement for this brand is one of the rotating ads on the left side jumbotron in Inkopolis Square. The advertisement is seen on the jumbotron in Starfish Mainstage in the later versions, however.
- Toni Kensa's weapons and gear is one of the only brands where none of the items change colors according to the user's ink color.
- There is no Toni Kensa gear that has Last-Ditch Effort, Main Power Up, Object Shredder, Opening Gambit, Stealth Jump or Tenacity as a primary ability.
- Toni Kensa appears to be inspired by Japanese streetwear brands like Commes de Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, and Cav Empt.
- Despite being named after a specific designer in-universe, the brand was stated in social media posts leading up to the release of Splatoon 3 to have acquired a new lead designer and creative director since the events of Splatoon 2.[2] This may be a further reference to Takeo Kikuchi, the real-life fashion designer the brand's Japanese name is likely a parody of, who stepped down from designing for his own self-named brand and entrusted it to a new creative director in 2004, before eventually returning to the company in 2012.[3]
- Toni Kensa seemingly produces underwear, as the brand's logo can be seen on the boxers worn by Marina in the Splatoon 2 first anniversary promotional picture.
