Ken is a Smug Chicken in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. He is the only Smug Chicken the series. His favorite saying, "C'est la vie!", is French for "that is life." His name is likely derived from "shuriken" since he initially wears a ninja costume. His name may also be a reference to the last part of his species name.

In New Horizons, Ken has the education hobby and can be seen wearing rimmed glasses, reading a novel while outside, and using a magnifying glass when near certain objects.

Appearance

Ken is a black chicken with blue highlights, and teal lines separating the blue parts of his body from the black parts. He has pink circles on his cheeks, making him appear to be blushing. His eyes are simple white eyes with black pupils. His beak is a light yellow, and his feet are light yellow with darker stripes. Ken is similar in appearance to a ninja, or a person skilled in the Japanese art of ninjutsu. He could also be based off of the Svart Hona breed of chicken.
