Kendo Gun Shop is an area that was explored in the beginning of Resident Evil 2. It was Raccoon City's famous family run Gun Shop famous for it's Samurai Edge series of handguns. The handguns were custom made for S.T.A.R.S. officers. Owned by Robert Kendo (deceased).

Story


Kendo Gun Shop was the first area you explore at the start of scenario A with either Claire Redfield or Leon S. Kennedy. Robert Kendo was the first person he/she will see. Kendo is defending his shop as Claire or Leon takes sanctuary there on the way to the Raccoon Police Department.

Kendo is unfortunately killed not long after by a horde of zombies that breaks through the front window and rips him apart. After his death, Claire can take Kendo's bowgun while Leon can take his shotgun before leaving the shop. Alternatively, he/she can leave his body while the zombies are busy eating and pick up either weapon in the police station later.



In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis: A letter from the Kendo Gun Shop was sent to the RPD. The letter was read by Jill at the S.T.A.R.S. Office on September 28th. It stated that Robert Kendo made the Samurai Edge, a custom gun weapon, for S.T.A.R.S. However, Jill cannot explore the gun shop because of the barricades on the street while exploring the Downtown Area.

Trivia
