History[]
He was born into the Estraneo Famiglia along with Chikusa and Mukuro. After the Family was persecuted due to the creation of the forbidden Possession Bullet, the adults within the Family gathered all the children, including Ken, Chikusa, and Mukuro. All three of them were being experimented on as "guinea pigs". However, he and Chikusa were later saved by Mukuro, who had annihilated the entire Estraneo Famiglia. After escaping from the laboratory, Ken and Chikusa swore their loyalty to Mukuro.
Before the start of Kokuyo Arc, Ken, Chikusa, Mukuro, and Lancia were arrested and imprisoned in high-security prison for the most dangerous Mafia criminals. On the eve of Mukuro's execution, they staged a jailbreak, resulting in the deaths of several wardens and prisoners. Soon afterwards, they went to Japan, attending Kokuyo Middle School as foreign transfer students, and within a week able to take over the whole school.
Kokuyo Arc[]
List Countdown[]
Ken is the first of Mukuro's gang seen targeting an unnamed character. Later, he tracks down Ryohei, who asks him to join his Boxing club. Ken accepts the proposition on the one condition that Ryohei beats him in a fight. It is implied that Ken defeated Ryohei because he is later seen in a hospital. It is at that time that Ken pulled 5 of Ryohei's teeth. (In the anime, he gave him a watch that read 5 o'clock.), showing him to be the fifth strongest Nami-Middle student.
Kokuyo Land Invasion[]
At Kokuyo Land, Ken throws dead dogs at Tsuna's group, presumably to move them closer to the Botanical Dome. When Takeshi falls through the roof, he jumps in after him. He is amazed at how ditzy Yamamoto is in thinking that the dogs were actually puppets. Ken begins their battle by charging Takeshi, and when his opponent evades, he uses his momentum to leap into the air, put in the Monkey Channel, and then do a spinning wall-jump back towards Takeshi, who brings his bat out to defend. Ken uses the jaws of his Channel to destroy the bat with little fanfare. His opponent is visibly angered, but first asks him how he managed to change his appearance. Ken equates putting a new disc into a video game console to him putting teeth into his mouth to change his Channel. He demonstrates by switching the Monkey Channel for the Kong Channel, and heaving Takeshi into the glass walls of their arena. Off-screen, he switches to the Wolf Channel and reveals that because of the dead dogs' blood of Takeshi, he can smell him, while he can't be seen. And Ken proceeds to launch a flurry of quick attacks, which Takeshi dodges, trying to protect his arm. Reborn kicks Tsuna down into the arena, and Ken changes targets to the much weaker person. However, Takeshi throws a rock to get him to refocus on him. Ken charges and sinks the teeth of the Cheetah Channel deep into Takeshi's arm. However, he fell for the trap, and with a swift sword-butt to the temple, was knocked out by Takeshi.
He taunts Tsuna's group after Takeshi and Tsuna are helped out of the hole, revealing that he managed to instantaneously switch to the Opossum Channel to effectively play dead. When saying that they can never beat Mukuro, Bianchi proceeds to drop a large rock on his head (manga only).
Ken reappears when Hayato is winning against Chikusa. He takes advantage of the fact that Hayato was suffering from Shamal's Trident Mosquitoes' countereffect, and digs the claws of an unknown Channel deep into Hayato's chest, which was the debilitating blow that won them their fight. As he watches his and Chikusa's opponent stumble and fall down a flight of stairs, they dawdle and give Hayato time to release Hibari. Believing Hibari won't be a threat due to his severe injuries, Ken attacks Hibari using Lion Channel, but he is swiftly defeated by Hibari who throws him out of the window, rendering him unconscious.
Mukuro Face-off[]
Ken reappears along with Chikusa, Bianchi, and Hayato under the possession of Mukuro Rokudo. He is pushed to the limit by Mukuro before Tsuna, who has entered Hyper Dying Will Mode, easily knocks him out. When he awakes, he tries to defend Mukuro, who has been defeated by Tsuna. He then reveals his past to Tsuna and Reborn before being dragged off by the Vindice.
Varia Arc[]
Mist Ring Battle[]
Ken and Chikusa appear when Tsuna was told to buy drinks after he questioned who the Mist Guardian is. When he reached the shop, however, Tsuna immediately fainted when Ken surprised him from behind. After a short conversation with Reborn, he and Chikusa left as he saying that Tsuna's Mist Guardian is too good for him. He later appear again in the gym where Mist Ring Battle took place, escorting Chrome. After Mukuro defeated Mammon, he changed back to Chrome who was exhausted and fell asleep. Ken and Chikusa left without her, stating that she isn't Mukuro and has no intention to give her his concern when Tsuna questioned them.
Cloud Ring Battle[]
He and Chikusa watched Hibari's fight under Mukuro's order. During Gola Moska's rampage, they saved Chrome from the mines that buried within the ground that she accidently stepped on. This left them unguarded and trapped between Gola Moska and rifle pointed at them. Fortunately, Tsuna arrived in time, protecting the three of them from both attacks.
Sky Ring Battle[]
He and Chikusa secretly followed Chrome to the last match, but was found out by the Cervello and was told to stay and watch outside the battlefield along with Reborn, Colonnello, Basil, and Shamal until the match ends.
Future Arc[]
Battle with Glo Xinia[]
According to Kusakabe, five years before Tsuna and the others' arrival in the future, Future Ken, along with Chikusa and Chrome, tried to break out Mukuro from Vindice Prison. Unfortunately, this attempt failed and their whereabouts afterwards were unknown. However, the Vongola spotted Chrome alive, hinting that Ken and Chikusa also most likely alive and safe in hiding on their own. Later, he makes a cameo appearance during Chrome's battle with Glo Xinia in a flashback. He was talking about their secret hiding bunker and put gum in it, after which Chikusa commented that gum was not a proper emergency food. Ken, along with Mukuro and Chikusa, makes another appearance during Chrome's battle with Glo Xinia. All three of them appear as Real Illusions made from Chrome, with the help of her Vongola Mist Ring.
Arcobaleno Trials Arc[]
When Chrome returned to the past, Ken bought many snacks for Chrome to eat. When he was found out by Chikusa, Ken insists that he's buying so many because they didn't use much money while she went missing for the past three days. Chikusa leaves it at that, with Ken angrily trying to insist that's all the reason. Not long after, he and Chikusa heard a ruckus and went outside to see Mukuro and Hibari fighting. Following Mukuro's order, Ken and Chikusa fights against Skull's subordinates while Mukuro and Hibari fights elsewhere. He assisted Tsuna in stopping Tako, Skull's octopus' attack using Kong Channel, reasoning that he's merely following Mukuro's order. After Tsuna defeated Tako, Ken and Chikusa rushed to see Mukuro, but was disappointed to see that Mukuro has already switched back with Chrome. Tsuna then gave Chome a bento since she didn't eat much at the base. Ken argued that they fed Chrome properly, to which Chikusa added that he's been feeding her snacks.
When Chrome returned to Kokuyo Land after Verde and Reborn's trials were finished, Ken questions where Chrome has been and told her not to wander off on her own so carelessly.
Primo Family Arc[]
He appears with Chikusa when Kyoko, Haru, I-Pin, and Bianchi came to Kokuyo Land, asking where Chrome is. He replied, saying that she'd been missing since the day before yesterday (when Tsuna and the others came back from the Future). He also said that she ran off without saying anything, and that he will give her the rice balls when she comes back. While he was eating some snacks, Chrome comes back in tears, confusing both Ken and Chikusa. He tried to cheer her up by offering some snacks, to no avail. He and Chikusa commented that Chrome wasn't acting like herself. The next day, he and Chikusa met Tsuna and the others who are on their way to Kokuyo Land. Ken immediately blames Tsuna and his friends about Chrome's condition.
After he and Chikusa explains the situation to Tsuna's group, he decides to go and buy some snacks, stating that he's hungry. But, Chikusa immediately realized that he was going to buy some chocolates for Chrome, which Ken hotly denied, saying that he was going to buy them for himself. He and Chikusa returns after buying many snacks in hopes of making Chrome happy, but is shocked to find out the whole Kokuyo Land building has disappeared. Not knowing what to do, Ken and Chikusa waits, with Ken falling asleep. When Kokuyo Land appears again after Demon Spade's defeat, he immediately demands Tsuna to give an explanation as to why they make their base disappear, but changes his mind when Chrome apologizes and realized that she came back to normal which makes him happy, but hides it immediately by saying that if she cried again she will have it for good, to which Chrome happily replied yes.
Future Final Battle Arc[]
Ken appeared alongside Chikusa and M.M. after Fran freed Mukuro from the Vindice Prison. When they all arrived in Japan, they engaged Zakuro in combat, where Ghost came out suddenly and absorbed Zakuro's Flames. Ken also watched the fight between Tsuna and Byakuran. After Tsuna defeated Byakuran, Ken was seen with Chikusa and Mukuro calling out to Chrome that it was almost time they went back to the past.
Inheritance Ceremony Arc[]
Tsuna called Chrome at Kokuyo Land for a meeting with the Simon Famiglia, but Ken hung up on them. Later, he was happy when he, Chrome, and Chikusa received a package with food from an unknown sender, who was actually revealed to be Julie Kato.

Ken tried to stop and convince Fran that they're his allies, but Fran immediately mocked Ken's habit on saying "byon" with smiley face, assuming him as an idiot fairy and tell him not to touch him or else he would catch his stupidity.
1st Day of Representative Battle[]
Later, after Mukuro was requested by Verde to fight for him, he is seen in Namimori accompanying Mukuro on his "declaration of war" statement to Tsuna. He and M.M protests when Verde starts to mock Mukuro, calling him an annoying runt.

During the second day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, he, along with Mukuro, Chikusa, and Fran, fought against Team Reborn and Team Uni. However, when Colonnello fired his Maximum Rifle attack, his and Chikusa's wristwatches were destroyed, thus disqualifying them from the battle.
