Clearly this method of learning was working, Kenji saw some notable improvements in his abilities for instance he was able to incorporate jokes in to his characters. The trick was what level, or type of joke would that character tell? Not all characters could qualify as being funny after all, some people in real life actually told jokes that weren’t even funny whether they be a ‘dad joke’ or something that is to depraved to even be considered dark humour.

There were of course lines that some characters would cross, a nerdy character might not be that quick witted instead they tell a scientific based joke that other scholars find funny but the common man are incapable of understanding. The douchbag style character might have a very sharp wit, making lots of people laugh. Of these factors would have to be considered by Kenji should he attempt to progress to the next stage of acting and actually impersonate a character that holds very few traits of his.

To do this he would have to master an array of variations, from comical genius to stone faced teacher. Even in the setting of a profession certain character types could be incorporated, for example the douchbag doctor could tell someone they were fine, only to reveal that they were just fucking around, and you actually have a few days left to live!

The secret to being a good actor was apparently the whole getting into character, or so Kenji had been informed. It made a great deal of sense now that the thought about it as he was currently only able to play characters that weren’t that dissimilar to him. He had heard that some actors lost massive amounts of weight to be closer to the character they were going to play, some even took up jobs that their character would play.

The whole idea was that you could start to build your characters responses, would he shy away from the ladies that entered the store? What topics did they have knowledge of? After all your performance would suffer if you were to break character, like a scientist not knowing basic level questions for the subject they specialise. Or, a homeless man having a high tech telephone.

Some people were unaware of these minor character flaws, but the more highly trained eye of a ninja should have been able to ferret them out with easy. This would become even more apparent when they had a knowledge of the subject matter, such as noticing a model of car that hadn’t been released in that time era.
