Ken Hidaka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ken Hidaka is a fictional character in the anime Weiss Kreuz. His codename is 'Siberian,' a reference to his favorite weapon, the bagh nakh (tiger claws). His image flower is the Gentian, which means "sweet by thy dreams". Ken is about 19 years old and brown hair and blue-green (in the anime) or brown (in the manga) eyes. He is athletic, hot-headed but friendly, and he loves kids (he coaches a kids' soccer team when not in Weiss). Ken usually travels by motorcycle.
Ken used to be the goalie for the J-league, but he was mysteriously drugged before an important game and, due to his terrible performance, was expelled from the team. His best friend Kase, another player on the team, says he wants to help Ken find the ones who drugged him. However, when they try to find these people, they are intercepted. The people kidnap Kase and leave Ken for dead in a burning building. Ken is found by Kritiker agents who make him a member of Weiss (the white hunters). Later on, Ken discovers that Kase is the one who betrayed him and he has to kill him.
Ken later meets a girl named Yuriko as he rides his motorcycle one day. They go swimming, play tennis, ride their bikes, and spend the night in a motel. Yuriko tells Ken about her dream of going to Australia with her friends to ride her bike in the outback. She tells Ken she wants him to go with her, but he isn't sure about it since he has committed a murder. Ken promises Yuriko he'll meet her at the airport; he watches her leave but doesn't go to her. Instead, he leaves a flower pressed between the pages of her book that she opens on the plane.
In Gluhen, Ken ends up voluntarily in jail. He thinks about what is missing in his life, and why he can't let go. He decides that he wants to be with Ran. He and Ran are the only ones left of Weiss and they join together in "Side B" (published by Zero-Sum).
