[Past Reward] Dad Bundle August 2025: Kensuke Ito (Patreon)

Featuring Gil!

Ken is more of a last minute addition to the lore, but for me he felt necessary to compliment Julien's backstory. I want Julien at his core, to be a character who is surrounded by people who care, but is too jaded and stubborn about his own notions of how his life is meant to play out. He ends up ignoring that love is being sent his way!

Ken and his sister Gogo are little sibling figures for Julien, they play the role of the devil and angel on his shoulders when it comes to hearing about his life. While Ken doesn't offer great advice most of the time he shows more empathy to Julien's problems.

When it comes to Ken as a person; he's headstrong and proud to a fault, buying into his own hype more than he should and always taking bites greater than he's able to chew. Deep down he's got a golden heart and it shows the most when he's offering Julien a shoulder to cry on. He might like to act too cool about a lot of things, but he's never embarrassed of calling Julien "Nii-chan" well into their 20s... well as long as they're in private! Still, that's his big brother and loves him dearly.

He's obviously meant to play more of a supportive role than someone with an arc of his own, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a backstory. Ken is resentful of his father for leaving his glamurous gang life behind to settle down in a boring town where nothing ever happens. He's jealous of his sister for leaving town to work in the big city for the entertainment business (Gogo works with Richter's daughter Cassandra in a PR Firm!). One day he simply decided to buy a one way tickter back to his parents' home country and try and make something of himself. The results were not good at all and all he could do was the odd job to keep himself afloat.

He wont go into the details of what happened during his time out of Dion Falls, but the conclusion was him asking Uncle Junpei for a plane ticket home. Ken headed back to his boring old life, working the desk at his father's sushi bar, the last place where he wanted to return. He at least has more of an understanding of why Ito made the choices he did and stopped badmouthing him, especially since his dad is keeping him housed, fed and employed.

Ken's life plans? He guesses it's taking over the sushi business once Ito wants to retire, not that it's even close to what he wants to do. He thinks he could probably get into personal training or something, he's in great shape after all.

When it comes to his sexuality, Ken is definitely bisexual and enjoys being with women, but he's not particularly romantically inclined towards them. He chases conquest after conquest hoping that one day he'll find a lady to make his heart skip a beat. Even though he's definitely had his heart pump faster because of his experiences out of town that he won't talk about. He won't talk about it, but one time he was a submissive partner to another man and that felt... right.

His natural bravado is no compensation for anything, he really is just sort of a jerk. However in the bedroom there's a fragility and gentleness to him. Previous girlfriends can say that he was delicate and loving, yet that's something he himself desires to be at the end of as well. He loves being a man and is proud of his big muscles and hairy body, but he also wishes he could be seen and held as something precious to someone.

He also wants to be railed within an inch of his life ! LMAO
