“'Ken Kobashi is the one of the most popular, and quite possibly even the best director of all time, as well as one of the most important Rising Ultimates we have in the up-and-coming generation.' Please put this in my bio, it’ll look super good! Please dude I’m serious, I’ll pay you!” - A quote by Ken Kobashi.
Ken had an unremarkable life during almost his entire time through the school, being almost entirely ignored by those around him. Ken was determined to not let himself be someone that people can just walk past without even acknowledging. “What was the best way he could do this besides being an Ultimate?” Ken thought, and so, he tried fishing. And baking. And Skateboarding. And Scuba-Diving, but somebody already took that one. And then finally, after so many years and almost being in his 3rd year of high-school, he tried creating short films, a venture that eventually worked out. Nobody knows how he just was somehow good at it, but it worked, and he finally became recognized. Not only by his fellow students, but Japan’s government, who invited him to the Ultimate Banquet as “Ultimate Filmmaker.” A title that he never expected to have, but hey, it worked out for him right?

This is a supporting role.

Ken is a very outwardly aggressive person who is very passionate about what he does (or at least the recognition it gets him), and so he's a very proud person. He can seem fairly snooty sometimes, but he's really just someone who let fame get to his head. Basically, he's kind of a lovable dork who means well, but doesn't know how to handle the fame he has achieved in a humble way.
