headcanon requests, you say? do you have any kenkari headcanons?
kenkari headcanons feel free to interpret these as platonic or romantic! #kenkariwasrobbed
- hikari gave ken some hairclips after watching his match one day. she thought it must be a bother playing football with such long (and beautiful) hair, so maybe hairclips would help.
- the next day, daisuke called them twin because of the similar haircut and the clip.
- so ken started to tie his hair during a match. not that he didn’t like the hairclip; he was just shy.
- (and hairclips were so much better than wearing a hat. sorry, takeru…)
- in terms of kenyako, hikari was actually the one who helped ken to make a move (or to answer to miyako’s move, because let’s just be real: miyako’s the active one). ken often came to hikari to consult about miyako, even after ken had started dating miyako, and deep inside hikari felt so proud about that. (“hehe, i’m her jogress partner and her best friend—i know her better than mr. boyfriend do!”)
- i still believe other than daisuke and miyako, hikari was actually the one who approached ken after the kaiser arc because she felt his struggle with darkness, even though it was still hard for her to apologise for his menace back then. (cue to ep 32 where hikari messaged ken before the kids headed to the digital world)
- to be clear, they were not afraid of oceans. be that as it may, at one point in their life, she asked him to go to the beach. they did nothing; just staring at the vast, open water in silence. the ocean was the epitome of darkness for them, so they kinda “train” themselves to get used to it. they learned to suppress the darkness together—maybe “this year, i’ll be brave” was also ken’s mantra, chloe? :p
- the beach visit became their routine agenda. every time ken wanted to go to the beach, he would definitely ask hikari too, and vice versa.
- among the other digidestineds, hikari was the first one who ask to greet osamu (in japanese household, usually a family had some sort of altar to remember the dead, and one can “greet” the dead by praying in front of the altar). hikari had an older brother like ken, and she couldn’t imagine the burning pain if she lost taichi, hence she wanted to pay some respect.
- while in the beginning tailmon was very sceptical towards ken, tailmon then found ken as one of the nicest people ever. being a mature digimon, tailmon really liked to be around someone who was intelligent and could have a meaningful discourse together. tailmon saw ken as one.
- on the other hand, wormmon LOVES hikari—but who doesn’t? perhaps because hikari always had this warmth for digimon. if it’s not ken, other than daisuke, minomon only wanted to be hanged in the arms of hikari.
- yes, they accidentally bought their mantle at the same place. (if it’s not them going to muji together…)
- also, we knew that ken became a heartthrob in college thanks to the newest 02. don’t care what other people said, but i think he would ask hikari to pretend to be his girlfriend once to avoid the fangirl commotion. she was his only option considering miyako was abroad.
- ken developed an interest to protect kids after the event with the dark spores. when he studied psychology in college, one of his favourite subjects was child psychology. he conversed a lot with hikari who also took the same class
- this was also the reason why, after he became a police, he would drop by around the daycare/kindergarten where hikari worked even though he might not be posted around the area. he wanted to make sure that the kids were safe.
- (jk, he actually wanted to see her too)
- every year, hikari would pester him to come to the career day as your friendly neighbourhood policeman. he gladly accepted though
- (no, he didn’t have the ability to shoot spider web, but he came with wormmon who could shoot sticky nets, so that’s basically the same thing… right?)
