History
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Art Career
In 2014, Kentaro prepared his speech for his art debut with his sponsor Kimi, who scolded him for hesitating during a question on what inspired his art despite having months to prepare. Kentaro repsonded that art came from a place that was hard to process and to him it was just intuitive. Kimi stated that while she respected his process, her buyers would be more interested in who they were buying from rather over the art itself and told him to come up with an answer in the two hours before the show started. As Kimi left, Kentaro's mother Emiko approached her son and complimented her son over a promotional poster's praise of his art along and affirmed that she and his father were proud of him when he showed doubt in his work. After Emiko confirmed that Hiroshi would attend the show, Kentaro excused himself and went outside to photograph the poster. As he did so, May walked in front of him and confronted him over taking her picture. Kentaro confirmed it was an accident and pointed to the poster behind her. May read the show's name, "Parallels and Interiors" and stated it sounded pretentious, which Kentaro agreed with before deleting the picture. Kentaro questioned May why she didn't like her picture being taken and began flirting with her, to which May questioned if this was the real him and if there would be wine. Kentaro stated the wine would was cheap and pretentious, and offered to show her to a place with better whiskey despite the looming deadline for the show.
Meeting Cate
In April of 2015, Emiko found Cate Randa trespassing in her home and confronted her alongside Kentaro. Cate defused the situation by revealing she was Hiroshi's daughter. The family sat down with Cate to discuss the situation, but Kentaro was skepitcal of her claim and asked her to provide proof. Cate showed them pictures of her and Caroline with Hiroshi and informed them that Caroline had been married to Hiroshi for 30 years. Emiko asked Cate whether she knew what happened to Hiroshi, but Cate became upset, apologized for the intrusion, returned the apartment's keys, and left.
"Parallels and Interiors"
2015: Kentaro watched as the Frost Vark continued tearing apart the plane. As the titan turned its attention to them, he noticed a flare gun and dove for it against Lee's protests. He fired it at the Frost Vark and missed, but the shot distracted it long enough for the group to make it to a nearby cave. May and Lee reprimanded Kentaro for being reckless, and Kentaro attempted to defend himself until tremors from the approaching Frost Vark silanced all three of them. The tremors caused the ice underneath May to break, soaking her legs in freezing water and leaving her on the groun barely holding back her screams. Once the Frost Vark left and the group began moving on, Kentaro helped May up and asked if she was okay, but May angrily snapped at him that she was going to die of hypothermia and rhetorically asked is Kentaro was happy he came. As the group moved on, Kentaro requested May slow down, only for May to angrily tell him to speed up until Lee agreed with Kentaro so she could conserve her energy. Kentaro stated they should dry May off, but Lee responded that there was nothing to build a fire out of and that he had no idea if the Frost Vark was still in the area. Once Lee told the group they were heading towards the coast, Kentaro remembered he had seen a circular building from the plane, but nobody else had seen it. Kentaro confronted May as he assumed she had seen it and asked if she was lying because she was angry, but she denied seeing it and told him this was entirely about her hypothermia.
After climbing a hill to see what was nearby, the group was unable to see any buildings but Cate spotted some lights in the distance. Kentaro asserted that it must be behind some other nearby hills and that the lights might be further away. Seeing he wouldn't budge, Lee agreed to split up and let Kentaro go on his own. As a snowstorm blew in, Kentaro began hallucinating about May calling to him, eventually collapsing and seeing a hallucination of May lying down with him.
