*Given the time period of Kenshiro's birth in 197X and the apocalypse started in 199X, his true age is up to debate amongs the reader. If Kenshiro was born in late 1970 and the Apocalypse started in the early 1990s Kenshiro was probably a young teenager and thus the world that Kenshiro lived as a saviour happened later. However if Kenshiro was born in the mid 1970's and the apocalypse started in mid 1990's Kenshiro was in his early 20 when he first met Lynn and Bat. | *Given the time period of Kenshiro's birth in 197X and the apocalypse started in 199X, his true age is up to debate amongs the reader.
