The Knight Gundam is a prototype close quarters combat mobile suit from the SD Gundam series. Within the franchise it is considered canon.
Knight Gundam (also known as Kishi Gundam) is one of the titular mobile suits of the SD Gundam Franchise, which started with SD Gundam Gaiden. Unlike the samurai-inspired Musha Gundam, Knight Gundam is based on a more western style of heroic fantasy. A non-SD version, designed by Hajime Katoki, would appear as a secret character in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. This version appears sentient, and is voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto in Japanese, or by Lucas Gilbertson in English.
The Knight Gundam was developed from Musha Gundam Mk-III. It in turn led to 1 derived unit — Superior Dragon. Both directions are mapped on the interactive tree above.
The Knight Gundam has appeared in 10 Gundam releases across 1990–2022, debuting in SD Gundam Gaiden (1990). Later appearances include Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, Gundam Build Fighters and SD Gundam The Last World and 5 more.
3 Gunpla model kits have been catalogued for the Knight Gundam, alongside 6 figures and other collectibles.
