Character Profile: Agent Kenji Kawasawa

Agent Kawasawa was born in Asia's capital-island of Japan in the Twenty Sixth Century. [Specific date unknown] He was recuited at the age of seven to be trained for the army's "special units." He served as a multi-tasking assassin until the age of sixteen, when the United States seduced him to defect with dreams of legalized drugs and pop-tart music. [Note: This United States is in no way connected to the USA of Twentieth Century lore. The present US inhabits the upper region of the American continent where Canada was once located. Both the region of 'North America' and most of Africa are radiated waste deserts, uninhabitable except for the deranged wildlife.]

He still wears the citizenship mark of Japan on the back of his neck. A woman, with a fetish for bizarre tattoos, asked to see it, and Kawasawa calmly pulled out his gun and shot his soon-to-be fiancee in the head, before paying the check and leaving the restaurant.

Despite Kawasawa's sloppy appearance, he has one of the most analytical minds in the United States' black ops division, commanded by Bert Falconer. Falconer was the one who noticed Kawasawa's potential and devised he plan to smuggle Kawasawa to the United States. It is said that all of Kawasawa's free time is spent writing complex reports on everything from the mental stability of other agents to the current budget. These reports are the only way Kawasawa can keep sane and not over-analyize everything.

It was Kawasawa's throughness that brought Sara to Falconer's attention. Kawasawa would routinely go to mental asylums to look for new candidates to work as assassins in the black ops. There, he found Sara, brought in for claiming she was an alien from another universe. After a single blood test, he found out that she really was an alien, and discussed with his boss what they should do. There had been recent outbreaks in extraterrestrial activities on Earth, and with an alien working for them, Falconer thought that he could easily get his hands on some alien technology while defending the United States.

So, Kawasawa used the threat of leaving her in the asylum as a lever against Sara to join the black ops group. She relucantly accepted, seeing this as her only way to even temporary freedom, and in three short days, found out how badly her personal beliefs clashed with the brutal black ops' m.o. In roughly a year, she would eventual get the true freedom she wanted, escaping to the stars.

While Sara had been working with the black ops, Kawasawa had continously filed reports on nothing but Sara. It had seemed that Kawasawa had become obsessed with her, or at least analyizing her. Some agents thought he was infatuated with her. But make no mistakes about it, deep in his heart, Kenji Kawasawa has nothing but contempt and hate for the peaceful Sara.
