History
Kengo is caught in one of his temperamental fits when Sailor Aluminum Siren approaches and draws out his Star Seed, warping him into the Phage called Sailor Artist. In that state he tears through campsites and spreads chaos across the area. Eternal Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Mars eventually free him, and he returns to a gentler life afterward. The characters of his given name carry meanings of strength and of the self, while his surname blends the ideas of another person and of blowing or puffing. Because he shows up only in the anime, he is regarded as an anime-original member of Rei's family.
