[edit] Personality

One of the younger Imperial commanders, Kenji is known within the Imperial forces as an arrogant, lively and hyperactive general. He is nevertheless a true patriot and a loyal servant of the Empire, an important leader within the Shogunate and one of the masterminds of the Imperial Invasion of the Soviet Union. It is his goal to train the next generation of Commanders to carry out the Emperor's sacred will. If one can gain his respect, he is quite friendly and approachable. Resist him in battle, and he will show you no mercy.

[edit] Role in WWIII

Kenji was one of the Empire's most valued commanders. Tenzai Robotics, a large vehicles assembly facility in Tokyo, was named after him.

In the Soviet Campaign, he was killed during the Soviet assault on Mt. Fuji, while defending the Imperial Palace complex.

In the Allied Campaign, Tenzai Robotics was destroyed by an Allied taskforce and Kenji was presumably captured.

[edit] Impact of the Empire's Defeat

The Empire's defeat was a wake up call for Kenji who refused to give in to the Allied Forces. He redoubled his efforts to complete the development of new military forces intended for the ultimate defense of the Imperial homeland.

[edit] Role during Uprising

In the Uprising period, he rebelled against Tatsu in the Allied Mini-campaign. In stark contrast to Shinzo Nagama, who valued tradition, Kenji relies on the latest technologies and armaments for his forces. His base was protected by no less than three specially designed Nanoswarm Hives, each being able to remain active indefinitely without having to power down and recharge. His base also possessed a Allied-made Tech Inhibitor, as well as numerous mechanized forces, including his own personal Black King Oni, which (while not quite as powerful as the Emperor's own King Oni) is a force to be reckoned with.

In the Imperial Mini-campaign, he helped the commander in holding back a large number of Commander Oleg's forces on Sakhalin island.

[edit] Tactics

Kenji's mastery of the Empire's advanced technology can not be equaled. An enthusiastic commander with a modern attitude to warfare, he prefers using vehicles over infantry in battle. Any commander facing him on the battlefield should be prepared to deal with waves of Tsunami Tanks and various transforming vehicles, as well as heavier, more advanced weaponry.
