Taishou, Kenren

捲簾大将

Kenren Taishou is Sha Gojyo's previous incarnation.
General of Heaven's Western Army. A lawless man who loves saké, flowers, and women. He is an infamous commander who formerly served as a general in the Eastern army, but he was demoted for sleeping with his commander's wife and became Field Marshal Tenpou's subordinate. He is a bold wanderer overflowing with chivalry, yet he also has a meddling, common-sense demeanor. He acts as a good older brother-type figure, especially toward children and his subordinates. Although he has been called Tenpou's husband, he is actually more of a housewife, supporting Tenpou, who would be unable to handle daily life if left to his own devices. He has doubted the absolute principle policies of heaven since before. He is attracted to the lower world's art and the beauty of living things, and while he is a military man in heaven's army, he becomes involved with Goku.
He has short black hair and black eyes, a sarcastic mouth, and a big, childlike smile. That look resembles Sha Gojyo in some way. He loves lower world luxury items like cigarettes. Since acquiring these goods is difficult, he smokes several brands.
Kenren is shown using guns in his missions.
