Ken Washio

As The Gatchaman Ken is the showmanthe super spy martial artist and ninja. Hes quick and charismatic and dont let those big blue eyes fool youhes a hellraiser who constantly takes foolish risks. He is amazingly inept at romance either too heavyhanded or totally ignorant of the girls feelings. He might do this because he feels a romantic relationship would interfere with his duty... or maybe hes just dense. Ken seems happiest when hes up in the air flying alone in his little Cessna or testing some new flying machine. He spends most of his social time at the Snack Jun running up a tab he never gets around to paying. Kens goals are noble enoughto restore peace to the worldthough for a short time he fights to avenge his fathers death. The burden of leadership lies heavy on his shoulders especially during the final escalation of events at the end of the series. Cover Occupation: Test pilot. Also works part time delivering airmail to remote locations and doing other odd jobs which require the use of a small plane. Lives in a small shack beside a private airstrip on a few acres of land willed to him by his father. Source: http://www.chronicsite.com/gatchaman/characters.html
