This week I got to know my character. First thing you should know is that my character is actually a boy! We changed it to a girl though because the part could be played by either gender. Kenji is best friends with Sadoko, though he is a few years older. They don't have your typical friendship. It's mainly poor Sadoko being teased, but in the end they always share a good laugh. Kenji only teases her because he cares. He knows that she is capable of so much whether she realizes it or not. When Sadoko is diagnosed with cancer he visits her and is awkward towards her due to seeing her like this. It was just a few weeks ago they were running together, training for the race.
I've really enjoyed playing the role of Kenji. He's cocky yet sweet, charming, and a total goofball wrapped up in one. I love the experience I'm gaining from acting a more comedic role. I can't wait to perform!
