Makenshi is a Parisian smasher who mains Marth and secondaries Link. He became well-known in the French Smash community in 2004, when he attended RT in Dijon. As a fan of Ken, he tried to improve, taking inspiration from the so-called "King of Smash", but in the end, he managed to develop his own style. He attended quite few European tournaments, and placed quite well, creating a rivalry with Swedish Marth player Ek. He's now seen as one of the best smashers in France, and one of the best Marth mains in Europe.
When Brawl was released in the US, he declared he quit Melee, but came back to it after a few months, saying that Brawl was too limited for him.

Trivia
- He's a good friend of niam.
- He often plays with the tag "KEN" when playing as Marth with his red palette swap, and says he has the right to do so since "Ken" is a part of his nickname.
- He explains his good combos saying he's a mix of Ken and Masashi.
