Look just below!! I'm tearing up of happiness because of this Wiki page – it's dedicated to KojiKen!...

Furthermore the admins used my redraw of THE famous scene (from the episode 119 『運命のタイム・アップ』 - "The time up of destiny") as the profile picture of the ship.

God bless you dear shippers/admins, let's keep on spreading the love in the fandom. Thank you for renewing my interest and love for the boys. ❤️‍🔥

Btw, I have some precious facts to add about KojiKen in addition to the wiki page (read them below the link) ⤵

KenKoji is the opposite of KojiKen – in the first ship, Ken is depicted as the seme (top) and Koji as the uke (bottom). This distinction is especially true on the JP side where these two ships are seen as totally different, meanwhile some overseas shippers tend to use both names interchangeably.

At the peak of the ships popularity (80~90s), KojiKen and KenKoji shippers used to argue and fight at the Comiket over which couple was the more logical, natural, etc. As for now, both sides calmed down and mind their own business.

Two celebration days are dedicated to KojiKen: 17/10 (Meiwa KojiKen day) and 01/10 (Middle school KojiKen day). The dates are a reference to their squad numbers.

In an old issue of the Weekly Shōnen Jump in which Captain Tsubasa used to be published, a young woman sent a letter to complain about the sheer number of lewd doujinshi featuring Kojiro and Ken. There even is a screenshot of her letter! [I'll translate it and make a post about it latter]

In an event centered on Captain Tsubasa, Hirotaka Suzuoki (Kojiro's JP VA) and Nobuo Tobita (Ken's JP VA) have been asked by someone/the public to improvize a love scene (a.k.a making-out scene). Here is the dialogue:

JP 🇯🇵

飛田さん (健)：「キャプテン、愛してます」

鈴置さん (小次郎)：「後悔するぞ」

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

ENG 🇬🇧 (my translation)

Tobita (Ken): Captain, I love you.

Suzuoki (Kojiro): You'll regret it.

Sadly, it's impossible to get a hand on the scene's recording, but some Japanese women on the internet confirmed they did hear the seiyuu's dialogue. Some lucky women do have audio records tho!!

In every series (manga and anime) Kojiro and Ken are often seen next to each other.

Both of them share some manners, such as rolling their sleeves + jogging pants since elementary school, they hate to lose and are pretty hotheaded at times.

When addressing Ken, Kojiro uses the pronoun お前 (omae), a very informal way of saying "you" in Japanese, while Ken uses the pronoun あんた (anta) for Kojiro – it's the contracted form of あなた (anata) and is an informal way of saying "you". In this case "anta" denotes respect. This pronoun is often used by women when talking in a casual/informal way to someone, but when it's used by a man talking to another man (only in manga/anime) it sometimes shows a certain level of respect, while not sounding as uptight and respectful as "anata". Married men and women often call each other "omae" (man to woman) and "anta/anata" (woman to man), so Kojiro and Ken give off a "married couple" aura.

Ken shows his vulnerable and gentle side (almost) only in front of Kojiro.

I'm sure I forgot some facts, so if I remember them I'll complete the list later.

Addressing Accusations Against KojiKen Shippers

I wanted to share an experience I had regarding KojiKen and the accusations made against its shippers, potentially extending to KenKoji shippers, in relation to the character Maki Akamine.

A few months ago, I came across a post (written by a new and very young CT/KenKojiKen fan) accusing some KojiKen shippers of toxicity towards Maki. Since KojiKen shippers are scarce on Tumblr, I'm almost certain that the post was directed at me, as I'm the most active shipper here and the only one who gave my opinion on Maki. I want to address and clarify this false and unfair accusation.

Firstly, I've been a part of the KojiKen fandom for many years and have never witnessed or engaged in toxic behavior towards Maki fans or KojiMaki shippers.

It's important to understand that disliking a character or ship doesn't automatically make someone toxic. We all have preferences, and it's okay to express them respectfully. Sharing thoughts and feelings about characters and ships is a natural part of being a fan. It's acceptable to have reservations or not connect with certain characters or pairings without being malicious or disrespectful. Critiquing or expressing dislike for a character or ship is a personal viewpoint that should be approached with respect and an open mind, which I've tried to do. Differentiating between sharing opinions and actively attacking or demeaning others with different perspectives is crucial.

I've always maintained a respectful approach when discussing characters and ships I don't like, using appropriate tags and avoiding unnecessary conflicts (when possible). Promoting a positive fandom environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their opinions is essential. We all have different tastes, preferences, and interpretations within the fandom, and it's okay to disagree as long as we do so respectfully. Creating a safe space for expression means recognizing that not everyone shares the same views.

On my part, I had the misfortune of encountering an anti-KojiKen/KojiMaki shipper years ago, who invaded our ship's tag and wrote nasty things about me. Despite the fact that they left me with a very negative impression, to put it politely, I understood that this individual doesn't represent the entire KojiMaki and Maki fanbases. I strongly condemn their values and behavior, as I am in complete opposition.

Going back to the original topic, while it's possible that some individuals may have had negative experiences with certain KojiKen shippers (personally, I've never encountered problematic shippers), it's important to remember that those instances don't represent the entire fandom, so it's pointless to create a post targetting just one person.

TL;DR: Disliking a character or ship doesn't automatically make someone toxic, as long as these views are expressed respectfully. We should remember that not everyone shares the same views and that disagreements can be handled respectfully. While negative experiences with certain shippers may occur, it's essential to avoid generalizing and understand that they do not represent the entire fandom.

──────────────────────────────

Thank you all for reading this post. Let's continue supporting our favorite ships and characters while fostering a positive and enjoyable fandom experience for everyone involved!

CT fandom’s headcanons [JP side]

I noticed that some headcanons were widespread among Japanese fans and I thought it would be fun to share them here! These headcanons can be found mainly on the KojiKen side, but you can sometimes find them among other shippers and non-shippers.

-> P.S.: I forgot to specify that these headcanons are focused on Toho boys and their close circles only.

________________________________________

Hyuga:

• Has a low alcohol tolerance.

• Is a good cook because he used to prepare a lot of meals for his little brothers and sister while their mom worked.

• Lazy student/does the bare minimum in school to keep his student grant and thinks too much about soccer instead of listening in class (it doesn't mean he isn't smart!).

• Has a deep voice (influenced by his first JP VA Hirotaka Suzuoki).

• Is a good singer – this headcanon stems from the fact that his favorite school subject is music (with physical education).

• Is the team's dad/makes the team feel safe and protected.

Wakashimazu:

• Has a good alcohol tolerance.

• Is a bad cook because he lives in a house with traditional values – his mom or/and big sister take care of preparing the meals for the whole family.

• Is a model student and is always willing to help Hyuga getting good grades.

• His father is protective towards him and resents Hyuga because he thinks that the latter made his son turn away from karate.

• His family adopted the dog he saved in elementary school.

• Has a scar on his left shoulder because of the car accident.

• Looks like his big sister – she and Ken inherited from their mother features (wide, round eyes and fair skin), while his big brother inherited from their father.

SUBVERTED -> It seems like Ken's older brother is named Shin and they share similar features (to be confirmed – it will be revealed in the future chapters of the new series CT Memories).

• Is the team's mom/serves as a big emotional support for the team.

Sorimachi:

• Hyuga and Wakashimazu’s confidant and mediator.

• Is very casual and familiar with Wakashimazu and calls him very often “Ken-chan”, which annoys sometimes the latter.

Takeshi:

• Hyuga and Wakashimazu’s child. 😂
