Toni Kensa

Likely ability	Main Power Up
Unlikely ability	Sub Power Up

Toni Kensa is a 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 1/2× chance of rolling Sub Power Up. As for Splatoon 3, most information regarding the brand is currently unknown.

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 which is also seen on the back of the armor when two of them are picked up in Octo Canyon.

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.
