- Full name: Keith Akira Kogane[6]
Keith is a military veteran and is seen teaching karate to students at a Dojo when Colonel Hawkins and Lieutenant Brown recruit him. Keith restrains himself more in the comics than he does in the original series, and has a cold and mysterious personality that is very unlike his counterpart from the original. Keith's feelings for Allura are more obvious in the comic than in the show. He is as an extremely skilled martial artist, best shown when he defeats Lotor in a duel.
