MV 2GO Masikap (MSK), also known as MV Masikap is a passenger ferry of the Philippine company, 2GO Group that went into service in 2002 as Ferry Kyoto II (Japanese: フェリーきょうとII).

She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masinag, formerly Ferry Fukouka II, that was acquired by 2GO a few months later.

The ship was designed based on the concept of a "next-generation ferry that is friendly to people and the environment," the ferry aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 19% compared to conventional ferries and cut fuel consumption with an operation support system. The interior design of the ship was commissioned to Dugdir Management & Design, a British company that designed the interior of the Orient Express, with the theme of "peace of mind on journey." The ship is also barrier-free, with multi-purpose toilets and elevators installed.
