## Appearance

Ken has long, spiky black hair, green eyes, and a sharp fang sticking out on the left side of his mouth. He is dressed in a green coat with lighter green accents and a pink chain circle on the chest, darker green pants, black shoes, and a green and pink scarf.

Both of his hands are often gloved by his two dog sock puppets: a blue one named Keru, who has sharp teeth; pointy ears and a scary expression, and a brown one named Besu, who has square teeth; longer, floppier ears; and an overall more approachable appearance. Unfortunately, Besu later was ripped by Shu Kurenai in *Evolution*, but was eventually fixed.

## Personality

Initially, Ken seems to have an intimidating and eccentric personality, however it is revealed later that he is actually very shy and soft-spoken, when he uses his real voice to speak. Despite his shy attitude, he is shown to be very friendly and supportive.

Because his parents travel often for their jobs, Ken never had an opportunity to stay in the same school for a long time, which resulted in him not being able to have many friends. He is also shown to get nervous under pressure easily. Going along with his shy personality, he is also quite sensitive.

He is extremely talented as a ventriloquist, being able to speak as his hand puppets even in battle mode. He uses his two puppets, Keru, who is the more aggressive and outspoken one; Besu, who is the kinder and more gentle one, to portray his feelings on two spectrums. Because of this, it is difficult for others to figure out what Ken is thinking.

Over the course of the series, however, Ken becomes more confident and assertive, as well as speaking without the use of his puppets.

## Biography

### Background

Ken grew up working alongside his parents in their traveling puppet shows. Because of this, Ken often had to change schools frequently, which, coupled with his shy personality, led to him not having many friends until he came to the city of Beigoma. When Ken first met Valt Aoi, he was initially reluctant to be friends with him, but soon came to appreciate him and had since become one of Valt's closest friends and allies.

### *Beyblade Burst (anime)*

At first, Ken thinks Valt is a bad Blader even after he beat Rantaro Kiyama. When he faced Valt and claimed the first point, he believed Valt to be an amateur. In the second match, Valt wins with a Burst finish, and then offers Ken a handshake but he turns it down and leaves. After Valt learns that Ken has no friends, he approaches him and asks him to join the Beyclub during school. Ken agrees, but only on the condition that he gets to battle Shu Kurenai. After the battle, Ken later stops by Valt's house to say he wants to join but then tries to leave immediately after, only for Valt’s mom to make him stay for dinner. Since then, he became a close friend with the other members and cheers on Valt in the District tournament.

### Beyblade Burst Evolution

Ken is the only member of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub to stay in Japan. He was the ref for the match Valt and Daigo's match as well as for Wakiya and Xander. He also cheers on Wakiya And Sunbat United in their match against SB Rios.

Ken and the rest of Valt’s friends from Japan fly to America to cheer on Valt and Shu, the latter of which rips one of his Puppets. Daigo helps him through it, and Shu later apologizes even though it was Spryzen Requiem controlling him.
