Kenji Bokuto

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

**Kenji Bokuto** (Japanese: **木兎 堅治** *Bokuto Kenji*) was Kōtarō Bokuto`s older sister and a former student at Shiratorizawa Academy. She was also one of Meliodas Ushijima`s classmates during her middle school, high school years and university years, eventually becoming his wife, changing her name to **Kenji Ushijima** (Japanese: **牛島 堅治** *Ushijima Kenji*) and having one son, Veronica Ushijima. She was also the older half-sister of Liz Bokuto, and was the aunt of many prominent High School Volleyball Players. Miyagi Prefecture`s Police Commander, she was a skilled woman who thirsts for revenge against her younger half-sister`s murderers seeking to bring them for justice, as they also had a hand in her favorite nephew, Tristan Bokuto`s death.

## Appearance

She is a beautiful and petite woman, who was often mistaken for a feminine-looking boy and as such wore a chest binder to make her chest seem more flatter mimicking a male`s chest. She possesses short, pink hair that covers her right eye, and the calmest-looking eyes, described as the "calm before the storm", a trait that one of her many nephews by the name of Kageyama Tobio later inherited. She looks almost incidental to her younger half-sister Liz, excluding her hair-length and hair-color. She usually dresses casually, in a black t-shirt, black shorts, and brown combat boots with her equipment hanging on a belt tied around her waist.

## Personality

Unlike Liz, Kenji shows no trust towards other people due to having her parents killed in front of her and having to raise her younger brother on her own. She was an aggressive person, and had many boundaries raised around her heart, all designed to be unbreakable. She was violent towards perverts and treated them with harshness, thus earning her the alias of Ice Queen, an alias that she carried into her High School Years. Despite her cold nature at first, Kenji was revealed to be kind hearted and caring, after she got used to showing affection again. Even as she died, she smiled at Meliodas and told him not to worry about him. She was a loving mother and a even more loving aunt, showing care for her children and treating her nieces/nephews equally. Veronica describes his mother as a stern but loving mother who deeply loved him and his father.

## Background

Kenji`s father was a second division volleyball player who used to attend Shiratorizawa; his generation is rumored to have won first place at Nationals. During her childhood, her parents were suddenly murdered several months after the birth of her younger brother and younger half-sister and her and her younger brothers`s grandparents were forced to take them in. Due to that, she started taking online classes and working for home due to having to raise her younger siblings. After graduating High School, Kenji decided to attend the local university which was famed for it`s police work and entered the Miyagi Prefecture`s Police Force, eventually becoming their Commander and Top Officer. At some point during her younger brother`s time in Middle School, Liz having since graduated, she married Meliodas and several months after that gave birth to a son, Veronica Ushijima. As Liz had married immediately right after coming out of College her childhood sweetheart and started working in the workforce immediately, she was not able to see much of her. Liz had a son soon after being promoted to a CEO in her own company, but was murdered one-night coming home.

After dropping his son off, he stays for a while to greet Kenji`s older brother and congratulate him on not getting into trouble before leaving. On the way back home, he ponders on if Kenji had been alive, a pained look crossing his face.
