Biography
Kenji's family was killed when he was a child, and he was sent to an orphanage where he met Lee. The two were very close and became "brothers", but Lee was eventually adopted and Kenji ended up on the streets. As adults, Lee became a Chief Inspector while Kenji became a member of the Triads.

Lee finds Kenji once again and attempts to capture him, but Kenji manages to escape. During the climax, the pair engaes in a swordfight inside the Eiffel Tower which leads to them dangling precariously a long way above the ground. Lee tries to help Kenji to safety, but Kenji, knowing that his weight will cause Lee to die with him, sacrifices himself and lets go. A distraught Lee then watches as Kenji plunges to his death.

Trivia

 * Kenji is somewhat similar to Storm Shadow, who adopted a brother to Snake Eyes and was also an enemy to him.
