[edit] Kanji

I have taken a stab at the kanji, my best guess. Google search has yielded no results that might help to indicate which kanji for "kenki" would be a common samurai name. I have thus given his name as　剣鬼, "devilish swordsman", as the result of an out-of-nowhere guess that it might be more of a description than a name. Devilish swordsman could be the kind of name either taken on, or bestowed upon, a pirate raider sort. If anyone knows better, please fix this. LordAmeth 08:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
