Kino-Qu was a Black Manka fighter who fought for money under his trainer, Jaid Tsa. Kino-Qu was taken from his homeworld as a young kid by the Tsa gang, where he was trained to fight hard throughout all his life. He ended up being the best fighter in the Tsa gang, surpassing all except Jaid Tsa. For many years he fought for the Black Manka, always growing in strength and in the ranks, ultimately gaining him a lot of money. Eventually, he surpassed his trainer and killed him in a battle. Kino-Qu from then on believed himself to be the best. However he had not yet faced Epin Lanmaw.
