Kent Ninomiya is the first male Asian American broadcast journalist to be a primary news anchor of a television station in the United States. The Asian American Journalist Association, often referred to as the AAJA, notes that there are numerous Asian American women on the air at American television news stations but very few Asian American men. This disparity is even more pronounced with television news anchors. Kent Ninomiya was the first Asian American man to be a main anchor.

This is also my dad's name, and often people think his name is Ken or Kurt (Kurt is also my Uncle's name, even though they've never met him.) Whenever he meets someone out of the country, they are very confused by his name (He gets Ken a lot, but when he says with a "t" then it turns into Ten.) However, the only nickname he's ever gotten have nothing to do with his name, so it's a good name if you don't want any nicknames.

I've heard far worse, but this name isn't one of those names that strikes me as really cool or gorgeous. Also, the name reminds me of a ghastly Swedish band with this name.

Kent comes from the Celtic language it means; Cudgel or Staff (long pole as a weapon), Strong right arm (of chieftian or tribe) or bough (main branch of a tree). The Kent was holder of the staff in Celtic meetings. He gave the staff to another person who wanted to address the meeting, as the only people allowed to talk during the meeting was the holder of the staff and the kent.

Kent is a very linear name. It shows honor and strength. This name rather portrays an ideal knight, a person who is strong to moral and principles. Kent is a very edgy name. Very angular and hard.

I think that Kent is a very strong masculine name. It sounds knightly. Of course, this may be due to the fact that Kent is the name of a knight in a video game (I can't recall the name). I have recently developed a very strong liking for this name!
