Kengo: Master of Bushido is a fighting game and the first entry in the Kengo series. Developed by Genki, it was released for the PlayStation 2 as Kengo (剣豪) in Japan on December 14, 2000 and as Kengo: Master of Bushido in North America and Europe in 2001 respectively.

The single-player game consists of three sections. Of these, the first two sections are for training and for challenging other schools. The training consists of multiple mini-games which each focus on one gameplay aspect, such as timing or button combos. The training helps increase the maximum value for the character statistics, without augmenting their current value. When challenging other schools the player will fight four identical-looking opponents, one unique opponent, and the master of that school. The battles are fought using wooden swords but increase in difficulty consecutively, and the player recovers a small portion of health between battles.
