Kenji Nakamura, or “Ken” as his friends and family call him, is a boy caught between two worlds. Raised in rural Kentucky with a blend of Japanese heritage and American grit, he’s a country boy with the soul of a samurai. A natural hero at heart, Ken believes fiercely in honor, justice, and the power of a promise, values instilled in him through his upbringing on the family homestead. But he’s also a bit of a wild spirit, with a mischievous streak that gets him into trouble as often as it saves him.
