TV Guide: Alias regular David Anders has been cast as Kensei, but he isn't Japanese. What's up with that?Will Kensei turn out to be another hero? Interesting. Read the rest at TV Guide's website.
Oka: If you remember, Kensei didn't look Japanese in the ancient tapestry [seen in Season 1]. But I have no idea where the writers are going with this. Here's another mystery: They told me something terrible will be happening in the present, maybe because Hiro isn't there. When he returns to modern day, he's in for the shock of his life.
