schoolrumble04Character: Kenji Harima

Anime: School Rumble

Manga: School Rumble

Voice Actress/CV: Hiroki Takahashi

Kenji Harima is a rugged ex-dilinquent who has a huge crush on Tenma Tsukamoto. Kenji is always thinking about Tenma and tries his best to get her attention. He often ends up in unfortunate situations where something usually goes terribly wrong. He isn’t the brightest character either, but he is skilled at fighting and drawing. Kenji Harima is a fun character, and he makes School Rumble more interesting.

Rating

Appearance: 7/10

Kenji has shoulder length black hair pull back with a headband, and he usually has has a goatee. Kenji is also usually seen with black sunglasses on. Kenji has a muscular build. When Kenji was younger, he used to have shorter hair, no goatee, and he didn’t wear sunglasses.

Personality: 9/10

Kenji seems really aggressive on the outside, but on the inside he is a very kind guy. He gets easily jealous of any guys that come around Tenma. He always ends up in interesting situations, and he usually deals with the situations in humorous ways. Tenma always comes first in his mind, but he is also easily influenced by stuff around them.

How well the character’s CV fits the character: 9/10

The character’s voice actor was great at giving Kenji a rough voice for his roughed act, but he is also great at showing Kenji’s emotions.

Overall Thoughts: 26/30

I really liked Kenji’s character. He is really amusing to watch. It is somewhat sad to watch as Tenma doesn’t show any interest in him, but the Kenji  and Eri scenes make up for his lost feelings. I also enjoy watching Harima deal with all those weird situations that he gets stuck in.
