History
Draken was born in Shibuya's red light district. He never knew his father, and his mother was a prostitute who abandoned him at birth and died when he was two years old.

He got his head tattoo in fifth grade and called himself "Draken" from Fourth Middle School. He became a bit famous and feared, but was no match for Sameyama's middle schoolers crew. As they had beaten him, he could not deny their orders. One day, they told him to bring "Mikey" from Seventh Middle School, as he also was getting cocky like Ken. Ken went looking for him and was excited that he may even fight him, but was surprised to see how small Mikey was. He told him that some middle schoolers wanted to bring Mikey to them and Mikey agreed to go. However, as soon as Mikey saw Sameyama, he jump kicked him in the face and knocked him out, scaring the others. Mikey recognized Ken as Draken and wished to become friends with him.

Toman Arc
Ken and Manjiro visit the fights organized by Masataka Kiyomizu. One of the guys introduces himself to Manjiro, but Manjiro ignores him and continues with Ken explaining that Manjiro talks only to those that he is interested in. As Manjiro passes Masataka, Ken kicks Masataka in the guts, telling him to bow more when he faces Manjiro. Manjiro takes a liking to Takemichi and declares they are friends. Manjiro and Ken then disband the fight club as it brings bad name to Toman.

The next day, Manjiro and Ken visit Takemichi in school. Ken beats multiple third years in the hallway as they irritate him and then orders them to line on their guts, so that he and Manjiro could walk over them. They want to hang out with Takemichi, but Hinata thought they are there to kidnap Takemichi and slaps Manjiro and attempts to leave with Takemichi. Ken stops her, but as she explains she wants to protect Takemichi, Takemichi then places his hand on Ken and tells him to release Hinata as there are things he won't give up ever again and asks them to not hurt her. After the situation is cleared and Manjiro has no bad feelings, Ken tells Takemichi that he threatened him, but its fine as protecting a girl is old school. Manjiro, Ken and Takemichi then go out together, where eventually Manjiro reveals his plan on making new era of delinquents and wishes Takemichi to be part of it.
