History
Showa era
Godzilla vs. Hedorah
Ken lived with his parents, Dr. Toru and Toshie Yano, in the suburbs of the coastal city of Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. Ken was attacked by a Hedorah during his father's dive, giving him a scar on his right hand. When a news crew came to his house, he mentioned that he named the monster Hedorah, and the name spread through the press. He had a dream about Godzilla attacking a pile of pollution and believed that Godzilla would save them from Hedorah. He later caught a glimpse of Godzilla in the far distance from a rollercoaster at an amusement park when Hedorah first appeared in its Flying Stage. He later attended a party on Mount Fuji with his uncle Yukio Keuchi and Miki Fujinomiya, and was nearly killed by Hedorah, but was saved by Godzilla after receiving a telepathic message from the kaiju. He later said goodbye to Godzilla as he was returning to the sea after defeating Hedorah, and Godzilla gazed back in acknowledgement.
