The Kyonshi Hat is headgear in Splatoon 2.

It is a 3-star item produced by SquidForce and comes with the primary ability Run Speed Up. It can be obtained by visiting the Splatoween news article on the Nintendo Switch news channel. It can also be purchased from SplatNet 2 Gear Shop for Cash 14,250.

Appearance

The Kyonshi Hat is a rimmed black cap with stripes in the user's ink color. There is a ball on top of the cap and a braid dangling from its back, both in the ink color as well. In front of the face hangs a sealing scroll with text that glows in the dark. The wearer will also have two red stickers on their cheeks.

How to obtain

The news article through which the gear can be obtained is no longer available for EU players. NA players can still get it for free using the following steps:

  1. Open the Nintendo Switch News application and select the article about Splatoween.
    • The article is titled Free Download! Celebrate Splatoween with this spooky in-game gear.
    • If the article is not visible, subscribe to Squid Research Lab Report and allow time for the news application to update with Splatoon-related news.
  2. Select the "Happy Splatoween" button located at the bottom of the article to start Splatoon 2.
  3. Open the box that appears in the middle of Inkopolis Square.

If this does not work, start over at step 1, or view the video demonstration below.

Abilities

The Kyonshi Hat comes with Run Speed Up as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 2, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Headgear. As a 3-star item, the Kyonshi Hat comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the SquidForce gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Ink Resistance Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Main) to fill its secondary ability slots.

Trivia

  • This gear is a reference to Jiang Shi, or Chinese zombies - called Kyonshī in Japanese
  • The Japanese name of this gear is a pun on this word with "kyon-kyon", an onomatopoeia for bouncing, as Jiang Shi are known to jump around.
  • Based on its SplatNet 2 price, it can be deduced that the normal price of the Kyonshi Hat would be Cash 9,500 if it were purchasable from Headspace rather than obtained from the Nintendo Switch news channel.
