Kenzo
CharacterKenzo works the private side of the devil-hunting trade and has spent seven years at it, a tenure that has earned him the teasing nickname Grandpa from Denji and Power. Confident but measured, he turns up early in the story as the threat of the Sea Cucumber Devil is being sized up.
Appearance
Kenzo keeps his brown hair short, parted down the center, and otherwise looks fairly ordinary. His usual outfit pairs a tracksuit, rendered green in the anime, with a set of sneakers.
Personality
He carries genuine confidence in his ability to dispatch devils while taking care never to tip into arrogance. Partnering with fellow hunters suits him whenever the chance comes up, yet going it alone poses him no trouble either.

History
By the time he enters the story, Kenzo has logged seven years as a freelance hunter. A katana is his constant companion, though the narrative never actually puts his blade work on display. During the Bat Devil arc he waits in reserve while a plan takes shape for handling the Sea Cucumber Devil, only for Power to come crashing down from a rooftop overhead and shatter the creature, leaving him stunned. Notably, the anime credits a report on that incident to a man named Konosuke Asagi, an alternate identity for him.
