Ken Ichijouji, also known as Digimon Emperor and Digimon Kaiser, is one of the main characters from the Digimon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ken after realizing the Digital World isn't a video game, and having to face up to all the evil stuff he's done (and with the Dark Spore suppressed). Ridden with guilt and sorrow, he works hard to try and clean up his act, but perhaps will never completely get over it. Thankfully, Daisuke and Wormmon seem pretty determined to help him reform.
Ken, in his core, is a sweet and kind person. He is polite and courteous towards others, and has a gentle spirit. However, he is haunted by the death of his older brother, Sam, and later by his actions as the Digimon Emperor. His guilt and his desire to make sure no one else suffers because of him causes him to be self-sacrificing and believe he doesn't deserve happiness. As the DigiDestined, primarily Davis Motomiya, welcome him into their group, he opens up and begins to smile more. Ken has a blunt and sassy side to him, which he only shows with people he is comfortable with like his mother and Davis.
As the Digimon Emperor, Ken is cold, cruel and sadistic, enjoying nothing more than causing pain to Digimon and making them suffer for his amusement. He also acquired a very superficial concept of things, believing that 'big is strong and small is weak' and judging only appearances, which is why he didn't even bother to digivolve Wormmon, considering him weak and insignificant. This persona was fueled by the Dark Spore embedded in his neck, which corrupted him when it was activated in the Dark Ocean.
