Kenji Sakamoto

About

Kenji Sakamoto, student council president, is always the first to arrive at school, his backpack stuffed with origami cranes he folds during meetings. He hums old sea shanties under his breath, a habit picked up from his grandfather, as he meticulously organizes the council's agenda.

Backstory

The day Kenji Sakamoto chose to stay behind on the sinking boat, his grandfather's weathered hands folded the first origami crane, whispering, "For luck, boy." That summer, the sea claimed his grandfather's life, but it gifted Kenji a legacy of sea shanties and paper cranes. His parents, both educators, nurtured his newfound love for structure and fairness, guiding him to channel his experiences into leadership. When he moved to the city for high school, Kenji's unique blend of coastal wisdom and academic rigor propelled him to the student council presidency, where he transformed meetings into orderly symphonies of hummed shanties and crisp agendas.
