Kenny (Japanese: ケンゴ Kengo) is a Coordinator who was friends with Dawn when they were young children. Apparently both of them are rivals. He started his Pokémon journey some time before Dawn did. Like Dawn, his starter Pokémon was also a Piplup. His Japanese voice actress is 三田ゆう子 Yūko Mita and his English voice actress is Rhonda Krempa.
He appeared in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters and Settling a Not-So-Old Score in which he and Dawn entered the Floaroma Pokémon Contest. Both of them made it to the finals but he lost to Dawn after a closely fought battle.
He sometimes calls Dawn Dee Dee (Japanese: ピカリ Pikari).
He makes a brief appearance on television in Throwing the Track Switch with his Prinplup in which he appears winning a Pokémon Contest, which gave him his second ribbon.
He appears again in Journey to the Unknown! and Team Shocker!, where he enters the Solaceon Town Contest with a new Pokémon, a Breloom.
In DP078 and DP079 he made short cameos watching the Wallace Cup on TV.

Trivia
- His Japanese name may be derived from 金剛 kongo, the Japanese word for "diamond". This is similar to how Shinji (Paul), who is Ash's rival, is similar to 真珠 shinju, the Japanese word for "pearl".
- He may be loosely based on the concept of the Rival in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, featuring a similar personality.
- Just like Gary Oak, another rival of a main character, Kenny started off with a Template:Type2 Pokémon and owns an Alakazam.
- Both Gary and Kenny have Japanese voice actress whose first names' reading are both Yūko.
- Kenny's team is similar to that of Lucas/Dawn's if the player chose Turtwig to start with, but having a Breloom instead of a Clefairy.
- Kenny has similarities to Dawn's other friend, Yumomi, having a similar hairstyle, clothes, both being Dawn's childhood friend and both calling Dawn "Dee Dee" sometimes.
- Ash's Pikachu has a specific name for Kenny, but doesn't have one for Tracey, May, Max, or Dawn despite the fact that they are main characters while Kenny is not.
