- § History
Early Life
Kenjiro decided to pursue an education rather than a Pokemon adventure at a young age. He worked hard in hopes of making his family proud, by joining the same company as his father, a small tech compnay in Saffron City. He spent all of his free time studying and learning all he could about the business world. During his weekends he helped out with his father's office, trying to gleam any insight while making copies and fetching coffee.
Adult Life
As anyone would have expected, Kenjiro went to work at the same company as his father. Due to Kenjiro's familiarity within the company and its inner workings, he was able to quickly able to rise through the ranks. He married his high school sweetheart Miya and had a daughter, Mieko. He lived very a happy life, with his fulfilling job, and his beautiful family. After about 10 years of steady work, his father became the CEO, and named Kenjiro the Chief Financial Officer.
Fall From Grace
When his compnay began to decline, the board of directors decided to sell the company to a much larger one. His father was heartbroken to see the company he had worked to build his entire life to be traded away. He felt the board had given up on the him and he broke down, dying a few months before the sale. With the company bought and consumed by another company Kenjiro was demoted. At the whim of his new employers he forced to work long hours doing menial and degrading tasks.
He slowly began to resent his wife, who complained about the decrease of Kenjiro's salary and his new long hours. She begged relentlessly him to try and find work elsewhere but, to no avail. Kenjior was determined to remain with the new company. He felt in time they would realize his potential was currently being squandered, and that they should reinstate him to his former position. Unbeknownst to him, his wife began racking up debt in his name, buying expensive 'avant-garde' art pieces, gaudy haute couture dresses, and extortionate dinner dates with younger suitors.
This was only the beginning. Kenjiro was called into into the new CEO's office alone, save Shigetoki Nagatsuka, the Chief Financial Officer that had replaced him. He was asked to review some financial documents and to give his personal opinion. After a few moments, Kenjiro spoke, "It looks like someone has been embezzling an obscene amount of money out of the company's coffers. You should call them up to your office, call security, and then fire them quickly and decisively so they don't make a scene." As if on cue, he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, looking up to see security firmly grasping his shoulders. He first glanced up with confusion, then his emotion shifted to disbelief, and finally horror. Kenjiro was thrown into the streets, before he could utter a word to his defense. He remember reading later in the tabloids, that his termination was due to unforeseen conflicts of interest.
Needing to distance his mind from his situation, he sought out to buy a present for his daugher's upcoming birthday. He remembered that she wanted a cute electric mouse pokemon for her first pokemon. Unaware of which pokemon this was he picked up a Dedenne, whom seemed to meet the criteria. Kenjiro was eager to send his daughter on her pokemon journey, so she wouldn't see his upcoming struggles. Kenjiro opted to buy his daughter some supplies on credit, but found his card curiously denied.
Arriving home that night, he discovered an empty house. No notes, no missed calls, no nothing. He was met with no success calling his wife, or her family. He was met the following morning, served with divorce paperwork,on grounds of suspicion of criminal activity and neglect.
The following months were a living hell, he had court dates for conviction and for divorce. The only amnesty he received from his former employer was separation without pay or retirement, due to the company wanting avoid further legal fees. He wife refused to speak with him directly, and he was refused custody or visitation rights to his daughter. His wife got everything in the divorce, and what she didn't the debtors got the rest. He was left with the clothes on his back, and the pokemon he had bought for his daughter. The closest thing to contact he had with his daughter was a video testimony of his daughter, claiming she had no father. Kenjiro was broken, and bankrupt, forced on the streets to scrounge for food and shelter.
Recent Years
Kenjiro has been living on the streets, eating out of garbage cans or dumpsters. Sleeping on park benches, at bus stops, or anywhere he building he could get into long enough to rest before getting kicked out.
After witnessing two youngsters having a pokemon battle, he was struck with a glimmer of inspiration. What's stopping me from starting my own pokemon adventure? he thought. If those two mere kids can do it, how hard could it be?
Kenjiro has finally scrounged enough for a train ticket. So now with the winds of change at his back, he sets off!
