So you meant to say that running wouldn't build me up for kendo, besides the leg?

I know muscles don't slow you down (Terrell Owens has like 0% body fat), but when you build yourself up, doesn't it slow you down somewhat? Like, how bulky do you have to be for your muscles to slow you down? Just enough to look a bit big for your height, or enough so you can no longer scratch your own head?

question 1. well it would give you better endurance, yeah, but you won't get any quicker.

2. If you train with high weight, low rep to develop type 2 muscle twitch fibers then you shouldn't worry about getting slower. Though, I suppose if you got REALLY big, you would get some diminishing returns in some way or another. But I doubt you would get to the point where you couldn't scratch your head unless you got hooked on the roids.
