[edit] About
From Ajora and Meimi's website Tarnished Wings:Kenkeru, and Taken on rare occurrences, is the common term used by Digimon fans to refer to a romantic relationship between Ichijouji Ken (the Digimon Emperor/Kaiser in season 2) and Takaishi Takeru (the bearer of the Crest of Hope in season 1 and the Digimental/Digiegg of Hope in season 2). This term comes from the practice of combining the names of two specific characters together to come up with a 'slang' of sorts. The first part is the first syllable, sometimes the first two, of the 'dominant', or seme, personality in the pairing. The second part is the last syllable, sometimes the last two, of the submissive, or uke, personality in the pairing. Kenkeru is the more typical relationship used for these two as Ken has a more controlling personality while Takeru is a bit more shy. That does not rule out Taken, as under differing circumstances even Takeru can be more aggressive.[1]
