Jago is a Tibetan monk, following the Tiger Spirit (which becomes [[Gargos]] in ''[[Killer Instinct 2]]''), who is on a path of enlightenment to defeat the evil within him. He believes it is his destiny to destroy Ultratech. In the sequel, Jago succeeded in destroying [[Fulgore]] in the first tournament after being possessed by the Tiger Spirit. He was soon betrayed by the latter, which turned out to be the demon Gargos in disguise. Gargos used Jago to gain entrance to the physical world, and Jago seeks revenge for Gargos' manipulation. It is revealed at the end of the game that [[Black Orchid (Killer Instinct)|Orchid]] is his sister; they were orphaned and separated at birth. In the [[Killer Instinct (2013 video game)|third game]], Jago is suffering a crisis of faith following the discovery that the Tiger Spirit was Gargos all along, and hopes to purge the last remnants of Gargos within him in battle. This crisis of faith is symbolized through his new costume, which consists of various materials cannibalized from the now abandoned Tiger Shrine, including tiles (arm guards), bits of broken statues (knee pads), drapery, and ropes from a chandelier (leg bindings and harness). |

In the third game, Jago is suffering a crisis of faith following the discovery that the Tiger Spirit was Gargos all along, and hopes to purge the last remnants of Gargos within him in battle. This crisis of faith is symbolized through his new costume, which consists of various materials cannibalized from the now abandoned Tiger Shrine, including tiles (arm guards), bits of broken statues (knee pads), drapery, and ropes from a chandelier (leg bindings and harness). After the fight is ended from the Killer Instinct series, Jago will ask Orchid to marry. However, Jago would be happy if Orchid his wife. Gladly, they had a big wedding that day on.

They are in love and married in their honeymoon forever at the wedding in the Killer Instinct tournament.
Shadow Jago
The 2013 game also features a new version of the character called Shadow Jago. It is an altered version of Jago, who is under the possession of Omen, Gargos's herald. He possesses the same set of attacks but with very slight differences, most noticeably in visuals. He appears as a secret boss in the game's arcade mode, possessing both new moves and an Ultimate Combo. He is available as a playable character for those who purchased a 12-month Xbox Live membership during the launch of the Xbox One, but will be made available for purchase by all users at a later date.[2]
Gameplay
| This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2013) |
Jago has many of the same moves as Street Fighter's Ryu and Ken characters, including a fireball (which he calls "Endokuken(炎独拳)") and a spinning uppercut.
Reception
The character was well received. According to GamesRadar, "this sword-wielding warrior monk is basically the Ryu of KI: a poster boy with an accessible move set and a noble cause. Jago's specials will be instantly recognizable to any fighting game fan."[3] Jago was ranked as the tenth top ninja in gaming by GameTrailers in 2007.[4] Complex ranked him ninth-swiftest ninja in video games in 2012,[5] and WatchMojo.com ranked him as the sixth top playable game ninja in 2013.[6]
