Personality: Kenji walks a fine line between serious, and annoying. He comes off as smug and arrogant, and is often flippant at first glance which causes him to have an abrasive first impression to most. He is flirtatious and mocking when he speaks, when paired with a smile that is fairly obviously a front and an antagonistic tone he is definitely an acquired taste. Despite this he is fairly charismatic and charming if he needs to be.
He is very serious when it comes to setting goals and in this case, being a trainer. He takes his tasks before him to heart, putting his whole being into achieving whatever it is he set for himself. He has a keen mind for pokemon battles and is able to analyze battles quickly and have a read as to whether or not he is going to win or lose and actually will surrender if he doesn’t see a way that he can win. He is very competitive and thrives in environments that push his instincts and talents to their limits, making him a dangerous challenger for gym battles.
History: Kenji was born in Lilycove City. His father is a manager at the Lilycove Department Store and his mother is a researcher in Mossdeep City’s Space Centre. He has an older sister who has a nephew who is about the age where he could actually start his own pokemon journey.
His childhood was fairly normal, he was mostly raised by his father with his sister. They did alot as a family including vacations to different regions, spending most weekends together, and being open and honest with one another which led to a fairly healthy upbringing. It was early in his life that he realized that he was different. Kenji was quickly developing a keen perception and mind, which he used well when he competed in games like chess and sports. Initially he didn’t have much interest in pokemon, focusing on his own skills instead of worrying about training. Many of his friends set out to go on pokemon adventures when they made it to the appropriate age, even his sister set out on a journey in her mid teens.
When he was in his teens he met a girl who he grew close with. Which was one of the reasons he didn’t decide to leave the city on any crazy adventures. The two fell deeply in love, spending much of their time with one another and planning a future and a family of their own when they both entered adulthood. However she broke up with him to accept a job in the Alola region, moving away and breaking his heart along with it.
He spent much of the last year moping and trying to get over the breakup. One morning he awoke with a realization, a benign conversation they’d had once where she bet him that he couldn’t become a champion of every region. Taking that much more seriously than it was surely meant to be, Kenji packed his things and headed for the pokemon lab in Littleroot town to prove her wrong, and perhaps prove something to himself as well.
Appearance/Physical Description: Kenji is a tall and muscular young man. He has a handsome face and a strong body. He has short brown hair that is swept to the side and brown eyes to match that are large and slightly hooded, which gives him an occasional look of being bored with everything. Overall he is charming and popular with women.
He dresses in high quality clothing, if not a basic style. He wears a lot of t-shirts and slim cut pants. He wears glasses when he reads.
