KyouKenji is the het ship between Kyouka Izumi and Kenji Miyazawa from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon[]

Kenji and Kyouka are the co-workers in the Armed Detective Agency. They do not interact often due to their similarly introverted and quiet interaction. However, despite that, while we did see them alongside each other in the anime and manga, we only see them talking once; they have a few interactions in Wan and the spin-offs. For one, Kyouka is seen to be interested in Kenji's farmwork, spying on him with a blush in one of the Wan! episodes.

Kyouka and Kenji are rather opposite in nature though they share similar quiet demeanors. Kyouka is a very quiet person and does nor smile often, while Kenji displays a more vibrant and energetic nature while smiling constantly. They have vastly different upbringings as well, as Kyouka spent most of her life in the Port Mafia while Kenji grew up in his village with farmers. Kyouka is a realist and takes all situations seriously, while Kenji looks for the good in all and is a pure optimist. Albeit, they still have a few things in common. They're both genuine and quite compassionate. They care about the good of the Agency and treat it as their own family and are generally kindhearted and understand others.

Interaction[]

Kyouka and Kenji are seen talking once to Tanizaki at a party on the Guild's yacht. Tanizaki and Kyouka say "This is bad", and Kenji asks what is bad. Tanizaki talks about them disobeying the president's direct orders not to fight the Port Mafia and says that they will be axed. Kenji doesn't understand and gets excited saying that he was never axed before. Tanizaki says that he didn't understand, then Kyouka says that she understood and says that in her old service many people were axed, and that cleaning is painful afterwards. Tanizaki is scared by both of their different answers, and in this scene we can see how different Kenji and Kyouka are from each other.

Fanon[]

KyouKenji is a rarer ship within the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, however, it is still widely popular for both characters. Few people hope that the ship will be canon, considering that in guidebooks it is stated that Kenji’s ideal type is someone who can cook, wherein Kyouka is shown to be an excellent cook; erstwhile, Kyouka’s ideal type is someone you can respect, while Kenji is described along the lines of good-hearted. Fans also hope for their future interactions as they are both 14 and are seen standing beside each other often. Outside of the romantic pairing, fans enjoy their friendship as well. Fans think that Kenji's positive personality could help Kyouka similarly to when Kenji guided Akutagawa on the right path in the Beast universe. Its biggest rival ship is AtsuKyou.

On A03 the ship currently has over 250 works in the Kyouka/Kenji tag. Meanwhile, it has over 110 works in the gen tag.
