Profile
In Princess Vi's kung fu tournament, Rooster Cogbird was one of the twelve martial artists to not be eliminated in the preliminaries and make it to the next rounds. In his next match, as announced by referee Big Al Dente, Rooster Cogbird was sent to the fight the "Mysterious Man in the Iron Hockey Mask" (actually Bad Bird). From the audience, Speedy and Guido both expected the Mysterious Man to lose, Guido said he'd be due to slow due to his "ridiculous goalie gear" weighing him down whilst Speedy said he's probably just going to stand there and block all of Rooster's slapshots.

When the match began, Rooster crowed loudly and threw his kendama's ball at Bad Bird as Speedy commented the mysterious man was cornered. However Bad Bird grabbed his flute and after announcing, "batter up", swung his flute like a bat to hit the kendama's ball causing the hollow bottom of the ball to land on Rooster Cockbird who subsequently flailed around and clucked incessantly before tripping over his feet and falling out of bounds.

Big Al then announced the Mysterious Man has won due to his amazing baseball skills, as Polly commented she thought he played hockey as Speedy finished by saying "only in the offseason."

Rooster is known as Kendama, after the toy he wields, and is described as a "cup and ball master." He is matched to fight against the mysterious monk in the next match. From the audience, Yattaro correctly surmises the monk is probably just Karamaru, Sukashi noting that he's got to be terrified of showing his face before Princess Usa who will no doubt force him to marry her.

Kendama begins the match by yelling "tamatama." When Karamaru hits the ball back on Kendama, the latter says "tamatama" and then finished with "I'm done for." Pururun notes the monk is very skilled and Yattaro notes it must be Karamaru.
