The Animal Channels are special weapons used by Ken Joshima.

Description[]

Ken has sets of animal teeth that he puts over his own, similar to how a game cartridge is inserted to a console. The channels modify his physiology to reflect that of the animal, gaining their innate abilities, such as speed and strength.

When using a channel, Ken not only gains abilities of animals but also changes his appearance a bit to resemble that animal, including hair, claws, fangs or even horns. When Ken enters a channel, a small head of the respective animal appears on his left cheek, with the name of the animal at its teeth.

Ken's channels can be affected by Mukuro's Third Path due to his physiology reflecting animals.[1]
