==Appearance==
The brand was created by the eponymous fashion designer and produces simple, sharp clothing in black and white. Kensa's gear also tends to be very expensive, with most of their gear being 3-star items. A few of the clothes seem to be from other brands, simply recolored as black and white, such as the [[Toni Kensa Black Hi-Tops]] being the [[Trooper Power Stripes]] series (even having the logo still on the shoes' tongues) from [[Takoroka]] but in black and dark red, or the [[Kensa Coat]] being a black rebrand of [[Zekko]] coats. Most of the clothes also have a button or small red spot that shows Toni Kensa's logo.
 
Unlike most weapon brands, Kensa's weapons' ink barrels do not change color according to the user's ink color. The reason for this is unknown. The weapons are known to also have red clips on some of the guns.

Quotes

Splatoon 2

Toni Kensa straight up named the brand after himself. Their focus on monotone designs and simple construction has won over the city's youth and earned them space in a number of boutiques. They stay topical by creating collaborative, custom-made gear with other brands. It's the secret to their popularity.


Constructed of glass and concrete,
A city stays in dull, drab grays
Till we splash color on its streets.
