BIO:

Widely known in Japan as Owashi no Ken, or Eagle Ken... The fearless and dedicated leader of the Gatchaman team, driven to stop the forces of Gallactor. His comrades include Swan Jun & Condor Joe. His weapon is the Birdrang (or boomerang with a razor sharp edge). He's the pretty boy of the team but is usually oblivious when a girl falls for him, as his role as Gatchaman is way too important for him to be distracted. When he's not Gatchaman, he is a small plane pilot and lives on a small airfield.

I didn't know very much about Tatsunoko before Tatsunoko VS Capcom, but after doing my research, I've come to respect a lot of the designs. Eagle Ken is probably one of my all time favorite Tatsunoko heroes  and he's also one of my mains in TVC. The Gatchaman theme is so damn catchy.

In Tatsunoko VS Capcom, Ken is a pretty straight-forward design in terms of his play-style... and his moveset has some cool nods to other Capcom fighting game characters, such as Ruby Heart. A simple and great design all around.
