Robert Kendo is a character in the video game Resident Evil 2 and the remake.
Robert is the owner of a gun store in Raccoon City. He and his brother Joseph Kendo are responsible for creating the Samurai Edge pistols used by S.T.A.R.S. members.
In the original Resident Evil 2, he briefly appears in the opening of Scenario A, allowing the player to stay in his gunshop for protection. However, zombies soon break in and devour Kendo, leaving a weapon for the player to pick up.
In the remake, Robert confronts Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong as they attempt to pass through the shop to reach the sewers. It's also revealed he has a daughter, Emma, who he tries to protect from the outbreak. However, she is infected and Robert is forced to kill her.
Kendo also appears in the game's The Ghost Survivors DLC as the player character in "No Time to Mourn". A non-canonical scenario, it follows him as he attempts to escape Raccoon City. He also appears in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, though is killed offscreen before he encounters either Leon or Claire Redfield.
