Kenzo Tanaka

Built with heavy muscle, Kenzo is a young man whose torso carries a collection of old scars. The one that stands out most is a large cross-shaped mark cutting down the right side of his face. His brown hair is sharp and angular.

His earliest appearance has him in a plain gray muscle shirt. For the Jeju Island Raid he switched to an altered take on his guild's standard combat uniform, one that left his upper body exposed.

Aggression defines Kenzo, a hunter who simply loves to fight. That hunger drove him to break off on his own during the fourth Jeju Island Raid and tear through every ant in his path without restraint. He shared a warm rapport with Akari, his guild's primary healer, tolerating her constant teasing and her habit of demanding payment before she would patch him up.

Goto Ryuji counted Kenzo among hunters of recognized talent, marking him as formidable for an S-Rank. His defining strength was raw physical power. He overpowered both Ma and Baek in sparring with ease and cut down hundreds of ants single-handedly during the raid while suffering only minor wounds in return.

Four days before the fourth Jeju Island Raid, Kenzo gathered with the rest of the party at the Korean Hunters Gym, where he took part in the four-on-four spar between the two teams and flattened Ma Dongwook by driving him into the ground. On the raid he was placed in Team Charlie with Akari and Tatsumi. Too impatient to await orders, he plunged into a horde of ants and wiped them out, though not before taking cuts to his collarbone and left hip. Wanting healing before the next clash, he rejoined the others and asked Akari to mend him, only for her to tease that she wanted something in return. As another wave of ants approached, he pressed her for an answer, but the Ant King beheaded her before she could reply. Horrified, Kenzo turned on the monster, only to be decapitated himself before he could even throw a punch.
