Ken Takakura (高倉健 Takakura Ken), also known as also known as Okarun (オカルン), is one of the main protagonists from the Japanese manga series Dandadan.

Consumed By

 * Acrobatic Silky

Personality
Ken Takakura is a somewhat eccentric and socially awkward individual who believes in the existence of aliens and UFOs. Despite this, he is shown to be very courageous and will throw himself into danger to protect innocent people. After being eaten by Acrobatic Silky he appears largely unaffected by the experience and summarily defeats her after being released.

History
When Acrobatic Silky tries to abduct Aira Shiratori, Ken and Momo Ayase leap into action to save Aira and defeat the yokai. However, Acrobatic Silky proves to be a formidable opponent and, early into the battle, she engulfs Ken with her mouth. Although Momo tries to save him, Acrobatic Silky is able to get away and swallows Ken whole.

Aira and Momo are also swallowed shortly afterwards, but they are all freed when Momo ignites Acrobatic Silky's stomach on fire, forcing her to vomit them up. Ken then defeats Acrobatic Silky in battle.
