Kenta Kitagawa

Kenta Kitagawa (北川 健太) is a character in the anime and manga series Digimon Tamers. In the Singapore dub he is known as Ken.

Kenta is a player of the Hyper Coliseum Card Game, but he often loses to Kazu and has yet to win against him. Kenta often gets credit for the numerous jokes that Kazu tells throughout the season, as Kenta tends to be in on many of them, like the time he and Kazu pretended to be Digimon for Babamon and Jijimon when it was meant to be the other way around. He's soon Partnered with MarineAngemon.

Digimon Tamers
Kenta decided to go to the Digital World with the rest of the Tamers. Kenta was kind of jealous and upset that everyone had a Partner but him, which led him to pretend that he and Guilmon were Partners (temporarily), when he, Guilmon, and a few of the others became separated from Takato, Guilmon's rightful Partner.

As they left to return home, MarineAngemon falls from the sky, after Calumon evolves most of the Digital World's Digimon into their Mega form, and goes off again after Kenta shoos him off although the little Mega apparently grows very attached to him during this meeting. However, some time later, he appears inside Kenta's back pocket, together with a Digivice. This made Kenta the only Tamer to have a Mega Digimon for a partner. Kenta understands what MarineAngemon is saying, even though it says only a few words. Kazu points that out and is amazed by it.

Runaway Locomon
During Locomon's rampage Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta, and MarineAngemon met with Henry and Lopmon (Who Henry accidentally misplaced with Terriermon when he left his sister Suzie, but managed to switch them back later) and followed Locomon on a small train car with Guardromon providing the thrust for them. Kenta and MarineAngemon also assisted in the final battle against the Parasimon. Afterwards both of them attended Rika's birthday party.

Trivia
At Digimon Frontier's last episode, during J.P's epilogue, a boy with a striking resemblance with Kenta can be seen behind J.P.

Also in Digimon Frontier, in episode 24 of the series, a boy resembling Kenta can be seen, and in the dub, he is actually adressed as "Kenta."
