'''KEN''' is a Smasher from Tokyo, Japan, known for being one of the best [[Sonic]] players in all of competitive ''Smash''.


'''KEN''' is an ''[[Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Sonic}} player with a {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} secondary from Tokyo, Japan. He is considered the second best Sonic player of all-time after {{Sm|Sonix}} but was the definitive best from 2019 to 2021; he was also the best Sephiroth player in the world in 2022. KEN is currently ranked 6th on [[OrionRank 2022/Japan|OrionRank 2022 Japan]] and 16th on the [[LumiRank 2023]]; he was also ranked 12th on the old [[Experimental Smash Player Rankings]].
He began competing in {{forwiiu}} in Japan's online metagame, mainly through {{Trn|Tamisuma|series}} and [[Smashmate]] before making his first offline appearance at {{Trn|Umebura 15}}. From then, he gradually became one of the best Japanese players in the game, culminating in his victory at {{Trn|Umebura S.A.T.}}, which was the first and only major victory for a ''Smash 4'' {{SSB4|Sonic}} player. With many other incredible performances throughout his career, he is often considered the greatest Sonic player of all time, as well as one of the best ''Smash 4'' players of all time, ranking 9th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]] as the highest-ranking Japanese player.


In ''[[Smash 4]]'', KEN was also a {{SSB4|Sonic}} player, and was considered the best Sonic player of all-time. He began his competitive career in Japan's online metagame, mainly through {{Trn|Tamisuma|series}} and [[Smashmate]]. He made his first offline appearance at {{Trn|Umebura 15}} and slowly climbed to the top level, culminating in his victory at {{Trn|Umebura S.A.T.}}, the first and only major victory for a ''Smash 4'' Sonic player. Since then, he became known as one of the best ''Smash 4'' players of all-time, ranking 9th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]].
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', KEN continued to play {{SSBU|Sonic}} and was considered the best Sonic player from 2019 to 2021. He was the first Sonic player to win a major, doing so by winning {{Trn|Sumabato SP 6}}, and had many other impressive runs during this time despite lukewarm results internationally. Though his results have since been matched or surpassed by other Sonic players, most notably {{Sm|Sonix}}, KEN remains one of the greatest Sonic players of all time. In addition, KEN also played {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} extensively in 2022, and is considered one of the greatest Sephiroth players of all time. His Sephiroth is especially known for winning {{Trn|Battle of BC 4}}, which remains the only major ever won by a Sephiroth player.
