Kenji is an exceptionally talented concert pianist. His father was a world-renowned classical composer, and Kenji was found to have perfect pitch at the age of three. From early childhood, Kenji was enrolled in a rigorous conservatory program, practicing piano for seven hours daily under strict instructors who used praise and high-status performances to reward his progress.
In a recent interview, Kenji remarked: "Music is wired into my nervous system; my family has a long history of musical genius, so it's a physiological certainty. The rush of applause is a powerful reinforcement that I cannot resist. I feel like my life's path was set in stone before I was born, and I have absolutely no say in the matter."
