History

Kensuke is a teenager with a strong fascination with the military, influenced by his father, who is a member of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. This influence likely fuels his obsession with military technology and his desire to be an Evangelion pilot. However, his family life is marked by tragedy: his mother passed away when he was very young, and his father is frequently absent due to his military responsibilities, leaving Kensuke to live alone. This loneliness and lack of a constant father figure seem to have led him to take refuge in his military idealism, searching for a place to belong. Although not explored in depth in the series, his story of loss and family absence helps to understand his curious, dreamy and idealistic personality.
