Robert Kendo/notes

Further notes

 * Robert Kendo did not appear in Hideki Kamiya's script for Resident Evil 2, now referred to as "BIOHAZARD 1.5". He does share the skin of an otherwise unrelated character from that build called "John".
 * In the Wildstorm/DC Comics prequel to Resident Evil 2, entitled Raccoon City R.I.P., Kendo sells a weapon to Ben Bertolucci, as well as another man, Jorge. The letter refers to him as "George".
 * His nationality was confirmed in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, through the archive files.
 * Rather than meeting a still alive-and-well Robert Kendo in The Darkside Chronicles, Leon and Claire instead discover him already being devoured by zombies when they reach the gun store.
 * In the Resident Evil 2 preview disc, there are some unused backgrounds of Chief Brian Irons' office. While mostly incomplete, they feature Robert Kendo sitting at Irons' desk with a dead female zombie in front of him on the desk.
 * In the original, Claire Redfield entered Kendo's store on her way to the Raccoon Police Department. Robert was initially shocked to find a survivor, but calmed down and locked the door to offer a level of protection before explaining the situation. His fears of the shop front were found correct, as four zombies following Claire broke through the window and killed him. After Robert's death, the player can obtain a weapon from his body. While playing as Claire, the player will find a Bow Gun. While playing as Leon, the player will receive a Remington M1100-P. In both scenarios, Robert fires his weapon in the prior cutscene, leaving less ammo in the chamber (1 for the Remington, 3 for the Bow Gun). However, grabbing either weapon from Robert's corpse prevents the player from encountering the zombified Brad near the RPD's entrance.
