Trivia

• Komatana and its evolution have a unique type combination.
  • The types it has are coincidentally the two types introduced in Generation II.
• Komatana and Kirikizan cannot learn any Special moves by level-up.

Origin

It looks similar to a knight and may be based on Arthurian legends of black knights. It may also have gained origin from the Kaijin style of Japanese monster movies, involving a humanoid creature that acts as a villain. There is also a resemblance to the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series' suited heroes.

Name origin

Its name is likely a combination of 細切れ　komagire, small pieces, and　小刀 kogatana, short sword.
