Meant to be a place to gather all material related to the ship between Kenji Tomochika and the P3MC. They've been known by many names, including but not limited to: kennato, kenjimina, minakenji, kenjimako, makokenji, and kenjikoto
Since the queue has finished its course, posts will be reblogged as they're found!
Open to feedback about tags. This page isn't anything high effort, and it's for a very rare rarepair, so it's currently working on the assumption not many people will browse it
Majority of posts will be from @nejishadow. You can remedy this by posting more Kenjikoto into the world!

Had this series of bases by tokkiiyokki set up in an MDP for ages, decided to use one of them as a sketch warmup, but the sketch was oddly easy / fast?? So I also lined it the same day, super lazily shaded it later. Decided the gradiation map looked cool. Tada, here we are!
First image is the original shading and effects, second is the flats!
Plus close-up crops because I dunno how tumblr will compress these things

Clear to See That I Hold You Dear to Me
Summary:
“Aren’t you angry?”
“No. I love you,” Makoto’s words muffled as he pressed closer, but Kenji could still feel them against his skin.
“I love you too, so why can’t I do this?” The disparity between the disappointment he expected Makoto to have and the tender affection he was receiving finally freed the tears that had been fighting in his eyes.
When my tax return came in, I decided this was the goodie I'd get myself. I believed the BG's color palette would work with these guys and I was right! Archivist's colors are always so good. Uh anyways, soft moments as winter sets in despite all the weight settling on everyone's shoulders -- other people like that, too, right? Not just me?
Archivistsoot is always lovely to work with, go give them a visit!
“Dude, what’s wrong? You coulda watched TV in my room, I don’t mind. Doubt I’d wake up — I sleep like a rock when you stay over,” he tried to be playful, resting his chin on the couch’s edge while rubbing Makoto’s shoulder, grinning when his boyfriend began to relax.
Sooo, it's has been 6 months since I did the last post here, and well… here I am, once again, and with content of the Art Fight of this year. And so, this was a revenge I made, yea, a bit late, as university was really kicking me off on that time, but anyways, what more I can say, I really didn't expect to went THAT WILD with the render and I think this draw definitively shows how really university is changing my art (in a good way)
Also, I will be leaving an alternative version of the draw without the "nostalgic effect", as well as a extra random draw I made xD
To parallel the christmas art, I got a cute thing for spring/summer. Kenji having a weak spot for Makoto's smile is something I can never let go of, despite it being super sappy -- both of them appreciating the other's joy just gives me too many feelings.
ThinkKi is always wonderful to work with, give them a visit!!
Once again, ThinkKi delivers the cutest art on the planet
I like the idea of a mistletoe prank being set up for these two, but it ends up kinda wholesome because Makoto doesn't panic or get freaked out. Just a nice moment, ya know? I never get tired of them.
ThinkKi is always wonderful to work with, give them a visit!!

Hi months ago I made a hamtoshi drabble, and just now I posted a sort of sequel but not really (it just takes place at around the same time) to it but with kenjikoto instead,,,, take them they are very short but i think they are neat
PART 3 of Kenjikoto / makokenji drabbles and general Kenji ramblings from the Kenji discord. Plus one about Kenji and Daisuke being half brothers to end it off!
This one focuses almost entirely on the AUs I've had thoughts on, because kenjikoto has none of the staples! That needs to be remedied!!
Wanna see me ramble about them in real time, bounce ideas, think way too hard about Kenji headcanons and generally just wanna talk about Kenji?? Join @ithinkrobotsarecool's Kenji Discord! Link in its' bio!!
Like the other two posts, you're free to be inspired by these ideas for this ship, flesh them out, fanart / fanfic whatever! I encourage it because I haven't written fic in years! Just tag me, link me, something, because people being inspired by my work is the biggest boost to my productivity ever.
Everything below the read more!
This one is long and I mean LONG so be ready for that!
------------------------------
General drabbles
------------------------------
Kenji and Makoto sharing their music and earbuds with each other. Back and forth of more energetic and ambient. Stay With Me (Miki Matsubara) comes on.
Makoto getting a kinda melancholy look, a tiny chuckle. Leans back and relaxes, shuts his eyes, the smallest smile on his face. And Kenji realizes he suddenly can't look away. He really hopes Makoto doesn't open his eyes because he can't even seem to move, he can only admire Makoto's smile, and that's dangerous with this song playing
---------------
Kenji Link and Makoto Shiek going to a con. But Makoto keeps delivering wrong lines in the flatest tone
"Hey, watch out. It's dangerous to go alone."
"He doesn't say that… Why'd you agree to come with me again? Besides teasing me?"
Shrug. He was just curious, honestly
---------------
Sick Fic
Written for @bakafurai lol
Maybe Makoto and Kenji planned a hangout but Kenji never showed.
Makoto gets his address (he has his ways) to make sure he's ok and Kenji Is Not, it turns out
Kenji being stubborn, "I'm fine man it's just a pressure headache just let me lie back down." Makoto Does Not let him do that.
Maybe it's best post-makoto's-flu so he can kinda remember what everyone did for him. Or is it extra funny if he spam calls Shinjiro just to get recipes for good food for this? Both?? Both.
Then you just have the soft domesticity of them tucked into the couch watching TV while Makoto keeps him from trying to sneak off (no you're not fine, stop moving)
Kenji apologetic that he ruined their previous plans for the day, Makoto shouldn't be wasting his time dealing with this, with him
Makoto firmly grabbing Kenji's head to look him in the eye, very serious - "I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. Besides, if you don't get healthy, you can't make up for it, Tomochika."
Kenji shocked. Oh. That's… so nice to hear him say. If he's sniffly he can blame the sickness
Then they can marathon Kenji's fav shows and eat so much soup, and Kenji can fall asleep tucked into Makoto's side. Soft
Extra soft for Makoto to also relax enough to lean back on Kenji and take a nap
If they're on a living room couch (or if she's just the type to waltz into his room unannounced) you could also have his little sister come home and assume they were having a date at home + nobody is awake to correct her, and Kenji gets teased forever about it.
---------------
Had the vision of Kenji trying to do pocky game with Makoto.
Kenji's the one who suggests it, but he's also the one to break the pocky, bluster, and generally be a mess. But wants to keep trying!
Meanwhile Makoto just munching through the sticks on his end, he knows Kenji's working through it, he'll get there… hopefully before they run outta pocky * shakes box *
THIS HAS AN EXPANDED DRABBLE
------------------------------
All Sorts of AUs
------------------------------
Hanahaki AU
More fitting that Makoto is the one with hanahaki. I think he's more likely to recognize his feelings but deny / ignore them, versus Kenji who just doesn't easily recognize what he's feeling is romantic.
Potential flowers for Makoto:
white violets (taking chances [but he won't])
yellow tulips (love that's hopeless)
blue tulips (trust)
scabiosa (unfortunate attachment)
maiden's blush rose (you'll know I love you, if you love me [in his case it's outta fear])
blue roses (yearning for the unobtainable)
THIS NOW HAS A FIC
---------------
College AU
Super loose ideas for a College AU
Kenji going into fashion / design
Makoto going into photography (maybe minoring in something more "practical" because he's always told to?)
Fashion majors need nice photographs for a show / exhibition they're planning. Only Makoto is free for the entire ongoing period (or if others are, just don't wanna do it)
Can't decide if it's better Makoto's reputation precedes him so the department has preconceived notions, or if he's so lowkey nobody really knows him so is offput by his attitude.
Either way, Kenji is gonna try to be friendly because no one else seems to be trying
(the guy's fashion being nonexistent might play a tiny role, he really wants to dress the guy better)
Makoto allows them to talk as he walks around, getting the first things everyone needs. Kenji is then appointed as Makoto's contact (he doesn't mind, but does no one else seriously wanna talk to this guy??)
They stay professional for texting and calling. For a short while. Kenji quickly breaks and asks him to be his model of sorts, let him plan one of his big assignments around him
Makoto shrugs. Sure. Long as it doesn't interfere with his own classes
as time goes on school work hangouts become more casual hangouts, to mostly just going out to have fun.
trying to decide if this is the funniest AU to have Makoto think they're dating, and Kenji isn't aware of this, since these hangouts are pretty much dates anyway
---------------
Soulmate AU
Soulmates identified through matching marks.
Kenji and Makoto aren't soulmates but fall in love anyway.
Soulmates aren't inherently romantic in this universe, but possibly seen as odd to not stay with one who's love is romantic in nature
Rio and Kenji platonic soulmates. They have a matching mark on their lower backs, possibly a constellation? Kenji isn't aware of this, and Rio is in denial over their bond not being romantic for a bit. She was hoping for a fairytale romance like some get, but comes to her truth that she wanted the grand feeling over a real thing.
Makoto and Ryoji are close to literal soulmates, not romantic ones. Their souls just match each other. Their mark is a mole under the right eye. A very understated mark due to how strong their synergy is, this isn't a thing that's common at all. Makoto assumes he just doesn't have a soulmate and everyone thinks it's a regular mole
Thought of a scene where Kenji and Makoto go swimming (because they deserve to), and Kenji realizes he's been looking all over Makoto for… something, maybe to indicate they're the same (not soulmates haha, how crazy would that be!), gets the slightest disappointment when he doesn't see anything.
Makoto can tell the mood shifted down a bit for whatever reason, gets Kenji's attention with a head tilt. And promptly shoves him in the water
Kenji quickly forgets what he was being moody about
THIS HAS A FIC THAT'S BEEN STARTED
---------------
Arcana Swap AU
Unlike Makoto, who seems to draw people in for bonds somewhat, Kenji's bonds are formed by him going out of his way to interact with people.
Junpei could be his magician, like he is for FeMC, because the Magician card doesn't fit Makoto.
Kenji's not a great leader -- maybe not even good at first -- but he's tenacious and passionate enough to make up for it.
Since Ryoji looks the same for Makoto and Kotone, possibly looks the same for Kenji, presumably the Nyx influence gives Ryoji his palette.
Kenji uses a dagger. He also customizes his S.E.E.S uniform beyond the norm for both comfort and fashion. He convinces Mitsuru to let him do it because if he's not comfortable he can't lead well.
"If I have to wear it all the time, it needs to be comfortable! I can't be doin' moves or commands on clothing that's making me chafe."
… Mitsuru can't argue against that too hard. As long as he can properly fight, she concedes.
Makoto most likely the Tower Arcana. Resistant to change due to past trauma and bad coping mechanisms + trying to avert further issues by being overly passive. But there were 3 or 4 cards he could feasibly be instead, this is possibly up for change
Trauma probably stemming from same thing as canon, parents lost in a car crash
So unlike Kenji who is overly friendly and a bit blind to others feelings, Makoto is insanely passive and seemingly uncaring. This leads to him being bullied or pushed around a lot because he won't fight back and people think he's a freak for being so blank.
Maybe he tried fighting back for a little bit in the past and it didn't help, so he gave up. And nobody will risk helping him now because they don't want to be lumped in with him.
Kenji, new to this school, doesn't have any of these predispositions, starts his SL with Makoto by scaring off some of those people (partially just wanting to flex his SEES training). This event probably doesn't happen at school, they don't want to risk disciplinary committee catching them possibly?? Big Maybe
Makoto shocked that this just happened, something like this would never happen to him. Won't tell Kenji anything about why this was happening or who the people involved were, but Kenji manages to at least weasel times and places he's consistently at school to see him again.
General SL about getting Makoto to see that this isn't what he deserves. The people that want to hurt him don't deserve a chance to do it. He deserves to feel the same things others do.
Extra Stuff
Makoto's hangout spot would probably be the library, quiet and people leave him alone. That or in front of the bookshop. Bonus hangouts at the music store and karaoke.
Rank 10 item a matching MP3 to his. Kenji asked about his music so much he thought it's the least he can do.
Kenji convincing him to hang out the first few ranks by studying at the library and then inviting him out to eat. This also means Makoto is alone less, smaller chance of someone causing issues
Makoto's fav gift to receive possibly food? Maybe it's easier for him to show appreciation for it.
Possible Sunday hangout playing Innocent Sin Online.
I cannot decide what the theoretical romance trigger would be, if I think of something interesting I'll eventually put it in a post.
---------------
Coffeeshop AU
Coffeeshop is such a staple. But not having solid ideas of when to place it. Most likely it's also a part of "No Personas / Everyone lives - nobody dies". But I can refine the big sweeping stuff later!
Possible they're also in diff classes due to Butterfly Effect
Since it's a No Personas world, Makoto's parents live, possibly still a car crash to keep timeline mainly intact? But everyone survives.
Current time, Makoto works at Chagall as his main job, mainly to have spending money and get outta the house.
Kenji knows vaguely about Makoto, hasn't interacted with him much -- no one has -- but still recognizes him when he goes in one day to get the highest calorie custom coffee in existence to ease his pain over recent test scores (I strongly believe Kenji would have a trashy sweet tooth at times like these)
He doesn't wanna be Too Awkward, but they do go to school together, so he should be a bit casual right…?
Makoto just nods along, putting in his order, Kenji swears it's different than what he asked but. He's not about to correct the guy
Makoto gives him the drink. Yeah it's not at all what he ordered. Did he offend the guy? He decided to sit down and try it, in case it's awful…
It's dang good. Zones out just enjoying it until he's done. Gonna compliment the guy's skills on guessing drink taste, but looks like he's gone. Lunch break? It'd be weird to stick around.
So he comes back next day, less weird to thank him at work then to wait til they're back in school… right?
Makoto is there, good! "Hey, I wanted to just thank you for yesterday. That drink you gave me? Best thing I've had in awhile, can you make me that again?"
Makoto looks at him a bit confused, a bit blank. Oh yeah… Kenji's a stranger he's not gonna remember everyone who walks in here.
"I'm the one who ordered the [sweetest coffee you can possibly think of]. I'm guessing you don't like stuff like that cause you gave me something totally different. It was really good."
"Oh… that one. Sure, if you want. It's nothing special."
Kenji hasn't actually ever heard him talk before. Calm voice for a scary looking guy!
This then evolves into Kenji coming in way too often to get what he starts calling the "Yuki Special" (he only gets it when Makoto is there), and Kenji being Kenji starts wiggling himself into becoming Makoto's friend ("acquaintance" according to Makoto at first, if you asked)
Kenji tells anyone who asks that it's because the guy makes a mean coffee, and is actually a great conversationalist!… when he can get him to talk
No other possible reason! It's not odd in the slightest to only ever order one item from one person, it's because Makoto's the only one who can make it right
(he tried to get it from a different barista one time… didn't taste right)
They're unique guys so they just have a unique way of bonding. A one of a kind friendship!
If anyone asks Kenji why he's learning to make coffee as a hobby he will never admit it's to impress Makoto who seems to know all there is to know.
Makoto starts making the drink ahead of time and planning his breaks around when Kenji comes in, since Kenji wants to talk to him while he's there anyway.
Eventually Kenji plucks up the courage to ask him for his number - "so we can talk anytime! That way I don't always take up your break, how 'bout it?"
Makoto finds himself easily agreeing, surprisingly. They text a lot, much easier for Makoto than calling, though Makoto still takes his break when Kenji comes in.
One day Makoto makes the drink and plans everything ahead like usual. And Kenji doesn't come in. He shuffles a bit - what is he supposed to do…? He waits, keeps scanning, did he miss him come in? He's never done that before, Kenji's got a very unique presence.
After awhile boss makes him take his break, he brings the drink with him, no use wasting it. What did he do before this whole routine started again…?
Remembers he can contact Kenji… He tries to call… voicemail. Is it because he called? He's never called, he supposed. Sends off a text - are you ok?
Takes a sip of the drink. Yep, too sweet. He keeps drinking anyway, no point in wasting it
(Either Kenji studied way too hard and slept through his usual visit time, or he's sick, or got dragged off to karaoke something, but he's ok. No bad!!)
Aka I feel Makoto learning that he is getting attached and he's a person who feels things should be explored more
Whenever Kenji gets back to his text, assures he's ok! Sorry for not warning ahead of time. Makoto releases tension he didn't know he had, that's good. He's fine, sorry for trying to call out of the blue. Kenji assures him he can call anytime, it's what best friends do right?
Next day at school, Kenji finally tracks Makoto down, vaguely knows his schedule but wants to catch him before day ends (why doesn't this guy look at his texts before lunch??). Wants to apologize for making Makoto worry in person
He feels a bit awkward. They hang out, kinda, all the time right? They're friends, so it's not weird to approach him… he realizes that they've never hung out outside of Makoto's work, that explains it. He's gonna change that
So he sits with him at lunch naturally just like he'd do at the coffeeshop, and does just that. Apologizes for making him worry and invites him out to make up for it, he never sees Makoto around town anyway, it's a chance for them to have fun!
Makoto slightly surprised. Nobody had invited him out during high school. Maybe he even had a thought deep down that Kenji was only hanging out at work cause it was convenient, and he'd finally gotten bored. But he still agrees. He didn't have anything planned anyways. Best friends do fun stuff right…? He thinks they do, at least. It'd been a long time since he had a friend so involved in his life
Insert a long and fun montage of them trying to do everything, since Makoto says he hadn't really gone on an outing like this anywhere in years. They go to the arcade, Kenji is horrible at claw machines. Makoto wins a ton. Kenji beats him at the fighting games, Makoto dominates at the zappers.
They chill at karaoke, Makoto impresses Kenji so much he immediately drags him to the music store so Makoto can point out what music he recommends, buys several of them. End it off with eating so much Wilduck burger both vow to not come back for a long time.
Neither realize or even think about how a lotta people would perceive this as a date. They're both just having fun getting to do stuff with someone else, though Kenji may be ignoring how much his heart seizes up seeing every happy expression or soft blink Makoto gives him, new expressions he's not used to seeing - definitely not like this at least. And Makoto may not be bringing up just how much Kenji is looking at him when there's so much else to look at... and how he doesn't mind, all that much.
Discord message hit max characters for the 4th time and I didn't wanna type more then and there, this is already edited to add a bunch, but I'm sure I'll expand on this one!
---------------
Separated Family AU
The thoughts may be a bit scattered because @bakafurai chipped in a lot on this idea so I have to summarize / rewrite their thoughts
@Shadowfreak98 said Daisuke Nagase sometimes gives her the vibe of "could be related to Kenji, like an older brother. Well he can't be older but you get it, brothers" (< recalling best I can)
Could I make the most nonsense idea that they're half brothers due to marriage / divorce??
Their personalities also contrast super interestingly
There's so much room for ideas there, but it means more brain power
Daisuke would be around Kenji's sister's age, since Kenji mentions her starting high school next year, when he'll be a third year, so it lines up timeline wise.
Possible Kenji's mom and dad separated before either was born, Kenji's dad possibly unaware she's pregnant. So Kenji's mom goes to Inaba to settle in a quiet place, while Kenji's dad stays and remarries.
They have Kenji's sister shortly after
Kenji doesn't know Daisuke well at all. If they've ever met, it was only at a few small family gatherings, both probably more think of the other as a distant cousin, if at all. Daisuke in general is a guy who doesn't bring up private stuff unless he really thinks it'll help with something, and Kenji barely mentions his own little sister, so it's just never brought up. Who talks much about the equivalent of a mystery cousin??
Possibility for some interesting interactions during the Iwatodai trip. Kenji not able to leave the island after the events of P3, attached to this place too much. Maybe works at Hakegure. Kou and Daisuke go there to see if they're as good as Aiya... little bit of an awkward family reunion. Chance for Kenji to try and establish bonds, like Makoto showed them they're important and powerful (could be in a Kenjikoto "Makoto lives" au as well).
I've wanted to draw a comic based on this song for months, but too much going on for something that takes so much energy, so. I have to post so someone knows my ideas!! Can see the vision!
Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet is a kenjikoto song.
"Your husband" is Ryoji, could be read in a sarcastic way. So "Does your husband know the way / that the sunlight gleams from your wedding band" refers to the chocker Kenji gave Makoto.
"I will never end up like him / behind my back I already am" - I also saw as him referring to Ryoji due to Kenji and his parallels, but could also mean Makoto.
"Wish I didn't I didn't- I don't! / just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness" - referring to how Kenji's realized he wants to be important to Makoto, but the repeated didn't + don't could indicate still slightly being in denial about how he truly feels
Anyways I will stop!! I could explain to you every dang lyric but I'm on my phone so it would take forever and I'm sure you don't wanna hear it
One person (@bakafurai) asked so now you all have to deal with it
An overly in-depth viewing of how I interpret these lyrics
"Mr. Sandman showing his beam / when he walks into the room the walls lean into listen" > Makoto drawing everyone's attention / eyes with the aura / attitude he gives off. I also like that showing his beam is a bit of moon/night imagery (moonbeam) since P3 focuses a lot on that
"Surf out brain waves / click back and forth like old headlights / sniffing model glue again" > Kenji's usual thought process, going with the flow, but starting to get tripped up by Makoto showing up in his life. Sniffing model glue again could be him telling himself he's delusional for any hopes he's having, or other people telling him so
"Head like a steel trap" > I like to think steel trap is a visual metaphor for Makoto's eyes, like in a comic or AMV it'd be a close up of him turning to the camera / Kenji. But it doubly works for Kenji's thoughts - he can't say anything / the words aren't coming to him because he's starting to have realizations that make him panic. Jaws locked like a bear trap
"Wish I didn't - I don't! / Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness" > Kenji repeatedly deluding himself that he doesn't feel the feelings he's feeling. (I wish I didn't feel this way, no I don't feel this way, what am I saying?!) But at least admitting he doesn't want to be a passing part of Makoto's life, he wants to be something more important to him
"Does your husband know the way / that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?" > like mentioned above, the introduction of Ryoji ("your husband") because of his and Kenji's parallels, and Ryoji obviously flirts with Makoto so much, a threat to everything Kenji's built. Kenji viewing the chocker ("your wedding band") he gave Makoto as something tightly bonding, holding all his feelings he refuses to admit
"Does he know the way / of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night" > I could see this meaning two things. First the repeated "does he know the way" is Kenji establishing that HE knows Makoto better, him and Makoto have more together than Ryoji does, ("I know these things that he never could"). Then Crickets could be about Makoto's words and presence, again with night imagery, crickets chirp most at night - Kenji doesn't need much to be assured after his Social Link ending, Makoto just being there with soft reassurances is enough. I could also see it meaning that before Makoto, he had nobody to stop him on his self destructive path. He was alone and had no guidance on when to stop
"But I will never end up like him / behind my back I already am" > In an AMV / comic this is a front facing shot of Kenji with Ryoji behind him, then it reverses so we're looking at Ryoji with Kenji facing away. This doubly works to hghlight their parallels - first and last card, both with yellow and black as important colors, both intertwined with Makoto intrinsically for their arcs - and for Kenji to realize he already is kind of like Ryoji: Flirting with everyone, seemingly no cares, but all the same drawn in most to Makoto. Also worried he'll stop being important
"Keep a calendar / this way you will always know" > I always imagine a zoom in on Makoto's room calendar, maybe with a matching shot of one Kenji has. With days circled or marked when they planned to hang out, and especially (for Kenji) the day he gave Makoto the chocker, marked enough he can't possibly forget. Then they can both look back on it and remember everything they've done, how much they've been through together
"The last time you came through / oh darling I know what you're going through / oh darling oh darling oh darling" > ("the last time you came through for me. The days we were together"). Every meeting has been so important. Kenji once again establishing how close he and Makoto are, he's also there for him, he's the one Makoto tells his hardships to. He doesn't want it to be one sided support, wants Makoto to think of him as just as important. Repeated oh darlings a final smash through of his feelings, he can't pretend it's not romantic anymore no matter how hard he tries to rationalize
"Tempest in a teacup / get unique" > About Makoto as a character. Very pretty / eye catching, but he's not fragile as some may assume. A force of nature, someone who can't be stopped
"Peroxide Princess / shine like sharp teeth" > Makoto is something to help heal wounds, but also there's something about him with an edge - Makoto could be dangerous if he wanted. But he'd never do that to Kenji. Also this is an easy place to draw crossdressing competition designs.
"It's a sign / what if you peaked early" > Kenji reflecting on himself. What if this is all there is to him? What if this is the best he can be compared to Makoto?
"Does he / does he know the way I worship / our love" > This is the one shot besides the "I'll never end up like him" I badly wanted to draw. So clearly this reads a zoomed in crop of Makoto and Kenji almost kissing, but not quite, Kenji's fingers trailing the chocker. Could be interpreted as Kenji's thoughts and how often he thinks about this, or it's actually happening and he can say "love" because now it's real. But I like the second better since I'm a sap
(This took too long because I can never limit my word count oops! Sorry not sorry, that's what you sign up for when you follow me - rambling descriptions on every post whether they need it or not)
