No, Kido-type means an ability that is not melee and akin to, say, magic, which is kinda what Kido is. For example, a fire-type Zanpakuto like Ryujin Jakka is a Kido-type because it can produce fire, much like how Kido can. Wabisuke is also a Kido-type because it has an effect which could likely be produced by Kido. Make sense?
