Having been raised in a strict household, KENN was not allowed to watch anime. However, he did get to participate in his school choir and play the trumpet. He became interested at the possibility of doing voice acting for living, but was hesitant to do so until dropping out of high school. While working part-time to support himself, he enrolled at Tokyo Jiyū Gakuen and later became a band member of The NaB's. When the band disbanded in October 2006, he pursued a solo career which included performing voice-over roles.

Though KENN gained more recognition as a voice actor throughout the years, he has expressed an interest in evenly balancing his voice acting, TV acting, and singing activities. His hobbies are gaming, playing darts, and inline skating. During his time with The NaB's, he was able to assume the role of both vocalist and keyboard player, displaying a strong affinity for music. He is also a skilled cook, being known for his Salisbury steak stew and sandwiches.
