== Charactah Account ==
Kenjirou is a first year male student and the last to join during Ogiue's first membership drive. Although his sexuality is unknown, Kenjirou shares the fujoshi love of yaoi and boy's love manga and doujinshi, making him a "fudanshi." Because of this, Kenjirou decided to adopt a female persona, complete with a near perfect female voice, and only attends Genshiken meetings as a girl, though he attends classes as a guy. Even after the members of Genshiken learn his secret, Kenjirou continues to cross-dress for the meetings, leading Genshiken to draft former member Harunobu into letting Kenjirou change at his apartment.
As a girl, Kenjirou looks and sounds the part so well, guys on campus begin trying to learn more about this "mysterious beauty" who only shows up after classes are over for the day. Indeed, Mirei had a hard time believing someone that looked so beautiful as a girl could really be a guy, but she saw the evidence first hand when Rika and Kenjirou came to her apartment and the trio got drunk. Kenjirou doesn't believe that people see him as very beautiful when he dresses as a girl. Like Sue, Rika, and Mirei, Kenjirou is also one of Ogiue's paid assistants for her professional manga. Being gifted at drawing, Kenjirou helps with the background imagery.
