Bio[]

Appearance[]

Outside of school, Kenta is normally seen in his work attire consisting of a long sleeved red shirt with a white T-shirt over it, a blue apron, blue jeans and sneakers. In this uniform, he wears a white rolled headband on his head, typical for fish sellers.

As an adult, Kenta doesn't have too much of a different physical appearance, other than having grown taller. He currently wears a turquoise suspender with green buttons, and a yellow shirt with brown rims, although he retains his white rolled headband. He also wears dark green trousers, and brown shoes. He sometimes wears a dark blue baby carrier to carry his child.

Personality[]

The class clown variant, as stated above Kenta loves to make other people laugh. He occasionally can get jealous or pushy, and gets flustered easily, but he is generally supportive of his friends.

Relationships[]

  • Hyuuga Saki: Saki is a long time friend of Kenta's. He has a crush on Saki, and gets jealous when he finds out she has a crush on Mai's older brother, Kazuya. When he accidentally spilled tea on a book Saki borrowed from Kazuya, she became very angry, but eventually did get over it. However, he appears to have gotten over Saki after he has become an adult.
  • Miyasako Manabu: Kenta and Manabu are friends. They are in a comedy duo, although Manabu is sometimes reluctant to perform with him.
  • Outa Yuuko: Kenta and Yuuko are good friends. At first, he seems unaware of Yuuko's crush on him, and is offended when Saki says Yuuko would be a good fit for his family. However, as revealed in the first episode of Kibou no Chikara ~Otona Pretty Cure '23~, Kenta and Yuuko have gotten married, and are raising a child together. They are also currently running a restaurant together.

Upon overhearing his parents' conversation about his future, Kenta begins to feel anxious, as he knows he doesn't want to inherit the family's boat rental shop. At first, Kenta thinks it's time for him to give up his dream, but later he learns from his parents that they only want him to temporarily watch over the store, much to his relief as he starts moving towards his dream by making lame jokes again.FwPCSS16

Saki and Mai later revisit Kenta's family's shop again to help Kenta out. Kenta and his friends soon start to get desperate when the disguised Ms. Shitataare is threatening their business.

When Kenta and Manabu accidentally discover Flappy, Choppy, Moop, and Foop, he and Manabu both decide to tell everyone in town about the four fairies, even going on a hunt with the other townspeople to search for the four "Mimingas".
