#ttte Kenji

[bruhstation]

Wait a sec, so if Hiro was a time traveler who fast forward through 100 years did he leave anyone behind in the past like say.. a wife or maybe a child?

Did Hiro have any family ?

hiro does, sadly. his family never knew what happened to him despite the outrage his disappearance sparked in japan, and hiro in casa tidmouth didn’t know how the entirety of his nuclear family got destroyed by one of japan’s greatest natural catasthropes.

hiro’s wife and children (except satoko) were eventually wiped out the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, but he does have descendants of his own that he managed to meet after the events of casa tidmouth’s Hero of the Rails arc.

(more info about them under the cut)

THE YEAR IS 1894.

Hiro Hideki

秀紀 弘 Hideki Hiro

Age: 57 (before transportation, canon Casa Tidmouth is 62)

The patriarch of the Hideki family. Wise, calm, level headed, but has a tendency to overwork himself and put others before himself. He has a mindset of finishing his work first before rewarding himself with the most basic necessities such as eating or going to the bathroom which exasperated Kamome.

Hiro originated from 1894, the Meiji era. Before he was transported to 1994, he’s a civil engineer and railway inspector that was heavily involved during the modernization and westernization of Japan and oversaw the construction of the Tokyo to Yokohama railway in 1872 and its subsequent expansion to Kozu in the following years.

In an attempt to further the connections with the United Kingdom and as part of a collaboration to improvise their engines and railways, the Emperor formed a research group and sent them to England and its surrounding islands – one of them being the Island of Sodor, infamous for its rumored supernatural influence and cases of outsiders going missing (not a great idea, Emperor). Hiro was sent there alongside his colleagues and seniors and the next thing he knew… his environment was alien, his clothes were tattered, he cannot remember anything, and he’s all alone in a steep siding.

Kamome Hideki

秀紀 鴎 Hideki Kamome

Age: 54 (83 at death)

Hiro’s wife. Their marriage was arranged by their parents but Hiro fell in love with her at first sight. While Hiro speaks gently and avoids unnecessary conflict, Kamome is blunt and goes straight to the point when talking. She was constantly seen wearing a tasuki sash and was well-toned for her age. The neighbors and family’s acquaintances see her as a scary woman with a sharp tongue and even sharper eyes, but… that’s just how her face is. Kamome doesn’t take compliments well and instead of smiling, she usually purses her lips or scrunch her eyebrows to express her happiness (Hiro thinks it’s cute).

During the early years of Hiro’s disappearance, Kamome put on a strong facade for their children. She didn’t have much financial worries because their children already had jobs. Hirokazu’s and Akira’s families visit from time to time, and Kamome quickly came into terms with Hiro’s disappearance, but the loneliness and frustration inside her heart still well.

I took her given name from the limited express train service that JR Kyushu operated, Kamome. Her name also means “seagull”.

Hirokazu Hideki

秀紀 弘和 Hideki Hirokazu

Age: 34 (63 at death)

Hiro’s eldest son. He was named after his father. Hirokazu was a serious, rigid man — always bent on following every rule there in his line of work and wouldn't hesitate to reprimand people for messing up. He liked expressing his thoughts (usually related to Japanese politics) without sugarcoating anything and got a knack for debating with his peers, so he’s often exhausted with his father who’s always calm and open to anything Hirokazu says without refuting much of his opinions. Despite being polar opposites, Hirokazu greatly respected and adored Hiro — hence why he followed in his footsteps to become a civil engineer.

Ever since Hiro disappeared, everytime Kamome looked at Hirokazu she felt like he resembled Hiro more and more. Hirokazu’s responsibility in taking care of his family (especially his elderly mother) grew stronger and his need to live up to his father’s legacy eats away at him.

Akira Hideki

秀紀 明 Hideki Akira

Age: 31 (60 at death)

A shy, stoic woman whose social battery drains quickly. She’s soft spoken and doesn’t talk much because of her social anxiety, so he enjoyed conversations with her gentle father more. Akira is also kinda awkward at socializing — behind her neutral face, she’s constantly nervous when faced with a crowd or an unexpected acquaintance of either his father or mother who wanted to chat with her, something she’s extremely self conscious about (Hiro told her she’s fine the way she is). When she succeeded in a conversation, however, she got all fired up and overly proud of herself Akira married a wealthy textile businessman who’s been seeing her for a while and is incredibly smitten with her.

After Hiro went missing, Akira’s husband, mother, and siblings often find her wandering around the train station, sitting solemnly or even asking railwaymen and random passersby if they’ve seen her father. She wasn’t doing mentally well, but luckily her family was there for her.

Masaharu Hideki

秀紀 雅治 Hideki Masaharu

Age: 24 (53 at death)

A student from the Tokyo Imperial University. He studies medicine and was an apprentice of his professor at a hospital in Tokyo. He’s timid, always stressed out, and have trouble standing up for himself, especially against his professor who always reprimand him for even the smallest things such as being late to a conference or being too slow to hand him an operating tool. Masaharu was also a mama’s boy. Kamome fusses over him and always tells him to eat more. Hiro too, but he’s not the most stern.

His professor used his connections to help Masaharu look for his father. Rescue teams, fellow colleagues from Europe, even autopsy labs and funeral homes — he looked everywhere, yet he and Masaharu are stumped. Masaharu felt so useless and even considered dropping out, but Kamome and Hirokazu dragged him back to reality, which made Masaharu end up crying.

Hisae Hideki

秀紀 久愛 Hideki Hisae

Age: 21 (50 at death)

Spunky, stubborn, and always up-to-date. She is IN LOVE with western fashion and a HUGE francophile. She’s a tad spoiled and always asks Hiro for some money whenever new clothes hit the market. Hisae likes dressing up her younger sister Satoko in various clothes she made or bought. She also worked at Irohanayama’s tea house because government officials and their wives always visit in their western attire. She’s also good at talking with people and pleasing upper-crusts. She dreamed of visiting France someday, though this is mostly because of the rose-tinted glasses she has for Europe.

After Hiro went missing, Hisae spent most of her days moping, not wanting to eat or leave her room until Hirokazu and Satoko convinced her to. One day, she suddenly stopped holing herself up in her room, quit her tea house job, and planned on opening her own clothes shop.

Satoko Hideki

秀紀 聡子 Hideki Satoko

Age: 17 (46 during Great Kanto Earthquake)

Being the youngest and most obedient, Kamome frequently asked her to go out to town to run errands. Generally a quiet person, though she always butt heads with her more hotheaded sister Hisae. Most of her clothes during her late teenage years are hand-me-downs from her. She didn’t really have any notable abilities or talents, but she likes collecting hairpins and combs.

In 1923, Satoko survived the Great Kanto Earthquake because she lived at her husband’s hometown far from Tokyo, making her the only living member of Hiro’s nuclear family (some grandchildren from the Hideki family survived but that’s another story. It’ll make this tree longer)

She is Kenji and Kana’s great grandmother.

———

THE YEAR IS 1999.

Kenji and Kana met Hiro during their visit to the Great Kanto Earthquake Memorial Museum. When Kana was taking pictures of the memorial hall for her school assignments, Kana spotted Hiro staring at the list of names. Kenji went to the bathroom for a second, and Kana saw Hiro sitting alone on the bench. Kana sat beside him and sparked a conversation, leading to them eventually becoming friends. Kenji joined them shortly after, and they parted ways soon after it got dark and Kana urged Kenji to take her home so she can print her photos. Hiro bid them farewell, looking wistful but also satisfied with himself.

Neither of them knew that they’re Hiro’s great great grandchildren… until much, much, later.

Kenji Shirogane

白鐘 健二 Shirogane Kenji

Age: 22

Lives in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with his younger sister, Kana. Ever since their parents went abroad for work-related purposes, Kenji has been acting as a guardian for his sister. He studies biomed at Tokyo University in Bunkyou. He goes there via the Yamanote line.

Kenji’s great at cooking and Kana only likes his curry rice because he doesn’t put any “weird” vegetables in it. He likes Japanese variety shows like Takeshi’s Castle and Gaki no Tsukai.

Kana Shirogane

白鐘 華菜 Shirogane Kana

Age: 16

Lives in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with her older brother, Kenji. Second year in high school. She’s in the sports club at her school and is a star for the girls’ running team. A cheerful and hyperactive girl, Kana is rather mischievous and can put on crocodile tears whenever Kenji doesn’t allow her to do something. She frequently gets into trouble at school because of her purple inner dye and grommet belt.

Kana is also quite foul-mouthed and has little respect towards most adults that boss her around, labeling her as a problem child at school. Kenji’s fond of her, but he also describes her as “disrespectful towards older folks”. She would also pull on his nose whenever she’s hungry in the middle of the night and saw Kenji sleeping by the couch to wake him up. However, she truly cares about her family and loves her older brother. Kana’s just a kid being a kid.

The younger ones like Thomas, Percy, Rebecca and Paxton see in him a good friend and fun to hang out with while on the other hand most older adults like Gordon, Henry and Cranky find him, annoying, unfunny and view him as a general nuiscence.

[raspberry-tulip]

A bit more of my human designs. Can you tell that I’m really uncreative when it comes to poses? I just don’t bother looking them up 😓

I’m not really confident with these designs tbh🧍🏻‍♀️but I hope ya’ll like these :)

They are my pookie wookies I wish they were real

(I’ve only seen Hiro in Hero of the Rails and a split second in the Great Race and I’ve never seen an episode of Kenji, but they’re adorable and very kind so they get a pass).

The best father and son duo no cap 😎 I love them sm <3

[ttte-in-the-sky-au]

Kenji and Kana!

I know the masterpost says that electrics have wings inspired by insects and bugs and stuff buuuuuut-

Yeah I had this random idea like "haha what if the electrics were literally bug people" and I liked it too much so yeah

The electrics are bug people now, enjoy

[dragons-and-magic]

ooohhhh i adore your dragons au and art ☺️☺️😊😊 if its cool to ask some questions:

anything on rosie or rebecca?

2. how about anything of the narrow gauge engines (theyres my favs) like proteus, luke or stanley/smudger? Who’s your fav?

3. are ya gotta add any aeg characters like bruno, sandy or kana? Kana’s gotta be a speedy queen 👑⚡️🐉

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!🥹🫶 It's always fine to ask some questions!

1: Anything on rosie or rebecca?: I got some stuff! I'll do Rosie first. Just like the series, she's got a little crush on Thomas when she's younger and Thomas isn't having it. Lol. She is a tomboy, but still enjoys girly stuff too. As she gets older, she grows out of her childhood crush and her and Thomas remain good friends. She matures into quite a graceful, strong, and respectable lady. Unfortunately, I don't have a design or much info for her yet. But hopefully soon!

Then we have Rebecca! She's definitely interesting! I based her design off frilled lizards and sunflowers! She's the youngest out of the female characters! Probably just in her teenage years!

Rebecca crash landed on the island and claimed that she was traveling with her clan there. She waited for days for them to show up. But they never came. Now, Thomas and his family couldn't possibly let such a sweet dragon get abandoned like this. So they let her into their clan! Rebecca shockingly got very attached to Gordon. And vise versa. He becomes a father figure to her. (In fact, he ends up adopting her eventually!) Rebecca reminded him of his younger sisters whom he loved.

2: How about anything of the narrow gauge engines (they're my favs) like proteus, luke or stanley/smudger? Who’s your fav?: I love them and they definitely in here! They're the Mountain Cave Clan! A clan of small ground dwelling dragons! With Skarloey as their Patriarch! There's tons of them! From well known characters like Duncan, Peter Sam, and Rheneas, to obscure extended family! And Proteus is actually their guardian spirit! I'm still figuring out his role and powers, but just like in the series, if you can find his lamp, it will grant you a wish! But you have to pass a series of trials and tests to even get your hands on it! (Oh, and Luke was my favorite when I was a kid! I loved him!)

3: Are ya gotta add any aeg characters like bruno, sandy or kana? Kana’s gotta be a speedy queen: I think so actually! I've seen a lot of AUs with Bruno as Henrietta and Toby's kid and OH MY GOSH YES. That's adorable.😍 And Kana is definitely there! She's Kenji's little sister in this! I'm not sure about Sandy yet. But she seems cute. So maybe!

Thank you so much for the questions! These were fun to answer!😁

[mavibonghostexpress]

Kenji, Hiro, Duck and Diesel 10 being a Polyamorous couple

Doodle me thinks

[uselessalexis165]

tried making some ttte memes (224)

[unpopularvivian]

how about Rebecca or any of the hit/bwba(like ashima or Kenji) aeg (Bruno or kana) if that’s cool(they deserve so much better I love them either way)

Rebecca is actually one of the BWBA characters that I genuinely like. But since my AU is set in season 21 because how it feels like a finale, most of the BWBA characters won't make appearances in my incorrect ttte quotes. Same goes to AEG as well, I hate how they aged down the main characters to such a ridiculous level. (Also, don't get me started on how the show breaks the fucking physics) I'm going to make Rebecca a more airheaded and chill character since I feel that the show needs characters like these. I'm drawing massive inspiration from Zee from Total Drama for her personality. So yeah, Rebecca's canon in my AU while the others aren't. Nia is just going to make some few non-canon appearances.

[thebunnylord]

So I was doing some research for train related yokai since Hiro and Kenji are both Japanese characters, and I thought it would be cool if they told the others stories of their own version of a Japanese Yokai since they would be familiar with the stories, but with their own spin on it like with the engine version of Santa Muerte.

Instead, I found the urban legend of Teke Teke. According to the legend, she is a vengeful spirit of a school girl who fell onto a railway line in northern Japan and got her body cut in half by a train. It is said that she drags her upper torso with her hands and her name comes from the sound her body makes. She has no legs. If she encounters an individual, she will chase them and slice them in half.

Now imagine either Kenji or Hiro encountering her…

[goldy-engine]

Is it a problem that I like to many engines.

Will I get witch hunted if I post more OC x Canons? I Get scared everytime to post something Oc x canon related stuff … especially since it’s not just one Canon character either

Also no Polo here isn’t flipping you off she’s going ☝️🤓 except it’s ☝️😏

Shitty drawing I did on my birthday a few weeks ago, it was for a frame of an animation… erm… queers. I guess. Am I going to be attacked because of this? I don’t trust people to be civil

[meliydraws344]

Kenji, high-speed bullet train from Japan⚡️🇯🇵

[itsjustempathy]

My interpretation of Kana is slightly inspired by @bruhstation flying Scotsman-

For those who didn't care and avoided looking at "All Engines Go!" content, one of the new characters is a E8 series Shikansen which isn't even going to be in service until 2024 called Kana. I thought that she could've been an interesting character so I decided to make my own interpretation of her.

-------------------------------------------------

Kana is one of the newest electric trains in Japan. Like the Flying Scotsman, she also often goes on rail tours and races around the world. Surely couldn't miss her walking down the street as she is at all times surrounded by followers, journalists, and... allies. Most describe Kana as polite, cordial, and wonderful girl to be around. Which is usually met by shy and grateful replies from Kana that feel practiced? But of course, not all people have good to say about her like Kenji. These comments though, are always faced with a forced understanding smile.

-------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry if her personality is a bit jarring to read- But I think and hope that the pictures above are good enough to tell what I'm trying to say about her- Other than that, I'm quite proud of her character design!

[fabianvalencia561]

does Kenji exist in this au?

(sorry it took a while to answer this question)

Yep! Here he is.

[neutrallyobsessed]

As 2022 comes to an end, i felt like showing you the doodles i did during the world cup matches because i will not stop being annoying about it xv. Sooo, here they are~~

Spain vs Japan:

Starting with a humanized Hiro and Kenji (Hiro's clothes might change). You can imagine that after Japan won, I started to doodle as a good luck ritual lol (i didnt draw in vCroatia cause i didnt want them to be obliterated by Brazil on quaterfinals, i think you understand but i apologize regerdless)

Argentina vs Australia:

La Blorba xd. I think i did Kraka-toa's design that same day and haven't stop thinking bout her since :v

Netherlands vs Argentina:

They're the same ship also they loversss ♥. I did the nrmy first and everything was fine and dandy and then AAAAAAAAAAAAAA- so yeah the ryss tis a bit wonky haha~

Croatia vs Argentina:

It was the first time drawing them, it took all the first half. But it was all nice and calm, so i didn't worry not draw much xd

Argentina vs France:

I draw on the first half, eat on the second half, went back to drawing on extra time. I will not elaborate on my feelings. I will elaborate on Tom DuBois: Ace Attorney tho, this NEEDS to be addressed

Anyways, Happy New Year Y'all~!

[imma-vincent-van-gogh-kms]

I got bored and I have a thing for fictional men with a soft voice and optimism and the only one I could think of was Kenji

Fun fact: The series writer Rick Suvalle said that Kana and Kenji would’ve been related and I headcanon them as siblings so ✨Hooray✨

Anyways here’s my boredom crack-baby

I think I have a problem with drawing men with H I P S that don’t lie
