Kenneth had never seen his hometown in his whole life, only in snapshots and stories by his mother. It was enough for him though, to imagine cherry blossoms falling down the streets during spring, while his father worked to provide them with all their needs. Being a stranger in another land scared Kenji as being side-eyed and demeaned every day was not something he wished for. He was in a hurry for the time he was able to go home to his hometown. So he used all his time to be a good son to his father and try to surpass his older brother who was doing even better than him.

Haru Uchida rose to success as he was recognized as a remarkable Auror of the Ministry of Magic after a difficult situation. All the rewards of his long planning of proving himself to Hyejin's family had finally reaped, and he was now able to even give to his family more. Around that time, his older brother started going to Hogwarts and became quite known for his talent as well, especially in quidditch matches. Everything was taking a good turn for the Uchida’s. When the time had come for him to enter Hogwarts, he refused and expressed his wish of attending Mahoutokoro instead. But even all those compliance to his father did not work as he also refused to send him back to Japan. 

Kenneth slowly started to rebel against his father, something he thought he would never do in his lifetime. He was always out of the house doing his own thing and everything he wished to do during the times he couldn't make himself rebel. A month before school started, Haru struck up a deal with Kenneth that he was to take up one year in Hogwarts before sending him to Mahoutokoro. Seeing there was no other way he could turn things around, Kenneth reluctantly agreed and prayed that time would only be fast in this school.

Almost a year has passed and Kenneth was ready to leave, right until he was not actually leaving. While he was having his nap by the forbidden forest, a fellow student came in and caused some annoying commotion. The student even came up to him and made him converse just to make the situation tolerable. Eventually, Kenneth opened up his secrets as the other did, and ultimately swayed Kenneth to staying in Hogwarts when the day was over. Up to this day, he doesn’t know how he was convinced by someone else he remotely has no relationship with.

Presently, they are both maintaining that friendship even if they are not speaking to each other everyday. Kenneth broke it to his father that he will be staying right until he graduates, and boy he was overly joyful. What’s left right now is Kenneth stirs up his plans after he breaks free of his father’s grasps to pursue healing and finally move back to Japan.

Why might Kenneth be a Hufflepuff?
Deep down, Kenneth has a big heart for everyone even if he is seen as intimidating, stoic, or cold at first glance. He is willing to sacrifice his time and resources for others to succeed with him. He is loyal to those close to his heart, and kind to everyone he meets. The reason he is pursuing healing is not to spite his father, but to find a cure for his ailing mother as no wizard nor muggle doctor could find the cause of her disease. His downfall is he bottles his emotions and doesn't share it to anyone which could be harmful. Kenji would also very much get into a fight if something or someone he treasures gets threatened or harmed by another person.

 

kenneth is quiet and always deep in his thoughts. he prefers being alone but occassionally tries to socialize with others-- though, he has bad luck of not being able to approach people and strike up conversations easily. once he talks about a topic he is interested in, he could dominate the conversation. when kenji opens up to others, they could be shocked to know that he can be playful and loud.
