Ju-ken, also known as The Bass, is the most in-demand bassist in the Japanese music (jrock) scene. He is, by far, one of the best bassists in history. He is currently part of the band VAMPS with L'arc~en~Ciel's HYDE and Oblivion Dust's K.A.Z., however, he is more commonly known for his work as a member of GacktJob, the backup band of the ridiculously popular musician Gackt. Apart from VAPMS and GacktJob, he has worked with model and singer Anna Tsuchiya, Fake?, Oblivion Dust, Spin Aqua, Inoran and the super-group S.K.I.N.

He is also recognized as one of the sexiest beings ever to walk the planet.

"Why is Ju-Ken called 'The Bass'?"

"Because he's the bassist for every fucking band ever."

"Is he good?"

"The best"

--

"I waited on line for three days in New York to see VAMPS. HYDE and K.A.Z. are great and all, but I was really only there for Ju-Ken."

Flowchart Ken

A singular phrase used to describe the strategy of 90% of Ken players in Street Fighter IV (and arguably most SF games).

The humor stems from the flowchart constantly pointing to a FP (flaming) Shoryuken attack to resolve all decision trees.

The phrase comes from a flowchart graphic posted on a capcom-unity blog.

While not always true, you do stand to encounter a disproportionate amount of Flowchart Kens in beginner online play.

Yet another flowchart ken... when will the madness stop?

Person 2: "Uh, Kaneki Ken you not?
