A consistent SU(6) extension of the Weinberg-Tomozawa meson-baryon chiral Lagrangian is constructed which incorporates vector meson and baryon decuplet degrees of freedom. The corresponding Bethe-Salpeter approximation predicts the existence of an isoscalar spin-parity (3{sup -}/2) K*N bound state (strangeness +1) with a mass around 1.7-1.8 GeV. It is the highest hypercharge state of an antidecuplet SU(3) representation and it is unstable through K* decay. The estimated width of this state (neglecting d-wave KN decay) turns out to be small ({gamma}{<=}15 MeV). Clear signals of this resonance would be found in reactions like {gamma}p{yields}K{sup 0}pK{sup +}{pi}{sup -} by looking at the three body pK{sup +}{pi}{sup -} invariant mass.
