Biography
Camp Cretaceous
Kenji was the last of the campers to arrive at Isla Nublar's North Dock, choosing to show up in a private helicopter rather than the Ferry with everyone else. He would meet the other kids that would be attending the camp alongside him; Brooklynn, Sammy Gutierrez, Yasmina Fadoula, Ben Pincus, and Darius Bowman. The group was greeted by camp counselors Dave and Roxie. On the drive into camp, the group encountered an escape Compsognathus that leaped onto Darius and scared Kenji. As the sunset that evening the campers were taken to the Zp Line. In the paddock below, park employees had begun herding a group of Herbivores to their night-time enclosures. To impress Brooklynn, Kenji misidentified the Brachiosaurus as a Brontosaurus. Darius would correct him. Taking his turn, Kenji glided down the zip line, observing the Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, and Sinoceratops below.
Later that night, Kenji caught a desperate Darius who was trying to sneak out and find the Compsognathus paddock. He, along with Brooklynn, accompanied Darius to the paddock. The three of them entered the paddock they believed housed the Compsognathus, not realizing it was in fact the Raptor Paddock. Showing off, Kenji accidentally dropped Brooklynn's phone into the paddock, then climbed in to retrieve it. Observing the stripped bones in the paddock, and rustling from the foliage, Darius realized that this was in fact not the Compsognathus Pen and tried to alert Kenji. The Velociraptor Blue emerged from the bushes startling Kenji. Brooklynn located a control panel and attempted to open the paddock's exterior gates, but instead opened the ones on the interior exposing Kenji to the Velociraptor. Darius kicked open a steam pipe from above, flooding the area with a distracting mist then dropped into the paddock to assist his fellow camper. Things did not go according to his plan however as the steam shut off and fellow raptors Charlie, Delta, and Echo formed up behind their leader. With their backs against the wall, the pair nearly fell prey to Blue but were pulled to safety by Dave with only moments to spare.
While awaiting their punishment from Dave and Roxie, Kenji opened up to Darius about being on his last chance with this Father. Darius then took responsibility for the incident, surprising both Dave and Roxie. As punishment for their reckless behavior, both Darius and Kenji were excluded from a trip to one of the park's satellite Research Facilities, instead of being left behind to shovel dinosaur dung. Unenthused with their assignment, Kenji convinced Darius to abandon their work and follow him through the Maintenance Tunnels to the park's Quarantine Paddock. Emerging into the jungle, Darius and Kenji continued to the paddock's perimeter. Observing the fence, Darius question Kenji's knowledge of the park and whether or not they were on the right side of the fence. Realizing Darius might be correct, the pair worriedly looked into the jungle behind them as Toro the Carnotaurus stealthy approached them from behind. Taking off into the jungle, Darius advised Kenji that they should run in a zig-zag pattern, evading the carnosaur's poor turning ability. Making it back to the fence ahead of the dinosaur, Kenji dove through a small opening inside the fence used for feeding. Darius attempted to follow but became trapped as one of the gates jammed shut. Unable to make it budge, Kenji hurriedly grabbed a fallen tree branch using it as leverage to pop the gate open and free Darius with only a moment to spare. As the Carnotaur slammed into the fence behind them, hurting its snout, the pair called out taunts. Both Darius and Kenji were able to return to their shoveling duties just before the others arrived back at camp, none the wiser.
The following day, the campers gathered out in one of the herbivore paddocks where they would be driving Gyrospheres. Kenji looked forward to driving, however, Roxie denied him the opportunity and paired him with Ben. He was not happy with that as Ben was a slow and overly cautious driver. Inside the Gyrosphere, Kenji grew increasingly frustrated with Ben's ability to drive. A storm began to form overhead, and the radio contact between the counselors and the other park workers became intermittent. Leaving the campers at a safe distance from the herd, Dave and Roxie drove off to inform the park workers that they would be pulling out of the cattle drive. Seeing a rogue Sinoceratops running away from the herd, Darius decided to ignore their instructions and persuaded his fellow campers to use their Gyrosphere to trying and herd the animal back towards the rest of the herbivores. During this chase, Kenji would take over as the driver, and the two argued over the control. Despite Sammy's attempts to rein the group in, Darius's overconfident attitude led to his Gyrosphere getting butted by the Sinoceratops and thrown back into the rest of the herd, causing a stampede. Escaping into the jungle, Kenji and Ben raced through the trees before they crashed and wrecked the vehicle. The two walked until they were picked up by Sammy and Yasmina where the four of them were crammed into the small vehicle.
