Kidogo (Lazaro Kotikash) is a fictional character, a mutant appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning and first appeared in New X-Men: Academy X #12 (2005).
Lazaro Kotikash is Maasai, and his codename roughly translates to "something small" in Swahili. As a student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, he is a member of Northstar's Alpha Squadron training squad.
Kidogo's fellow students vote that he has the "most ironic power" because, although in his normal state he is almost a head taller than anyone else on his squad, his power is shrinking to a height of only four inches.[1]
Kidogo was one of the many mutants that lost their powers on M-Day, so he had to leave the Xavier Institute, but he was not on the bus that William Stryker bombed.
Before he was depowered, Lazaro was a micromorph, able to shrink down to only four inches tall by displacing his mass extra-dimensionally.
