Biography

Even before the Universal War ended, Kenshi had wished to return to his home land, Japan. As one of The Four, he had no desire to be placed in the public eye. The last thing he needed was for reporters to figure out his vigilante work in Los Angeles. The summer after the war, Kenshi found a cabin in the countryside; close enough to Kyoto while still being isolated. It was in Kyoto where he continued his vigilante work.

Months later while Earth was once more plunged into war, Kenshi was approached by Liu Kang, who needed his help in fighting the latest threat. Kenshi refused at first, not wanting to get involved in another good vs evil melee. However, his sword, Sento, convinced him to join the chosen ones once more. Sworn to defeat evil and protect the meek, Kenshi would find a way to take out the Mishima Zaibatsu leader... even if it is his friend and fellow member of The Four, Jin Kazama.
