Personality:
Ken lives by a code of honor like all his ninja brethren adhering to all the ninja codes of conduct and can seem like he’s all business. He is actually a very disciplined individual and has immense loyalty to his Empress and the nation. Of course that’s when he’s training or on a mission. Outside of his ninja duties, he’s actually very easy-going guy and kind-hearted to near-fault. Despite his line of work, Ken does his best to refrain from having to kill anyone, which is why he doesn’t take assassination missions. To him it is a last resort move. Plans A through Q better have failed before he even considers taking a life. That’s not all his moral code does for him, it also makes Ken unable to turn his back on those in need or the wrong-doings another.
