Rinka and Kenichi

This article is about a character featured in the Pokémon anime who has not yet debuted in the English language dub. As such, their information may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.

Rinka and Kenichi

(Japanese: 凜香 Rinka) and (Japanese: 健一 Kenichi) are characters of the day who appeared in SM113.

Rinka and Kenichi are producer assistants working for Alola TV under George Charanpino. As George was at a television set talking to Ash and his friends, Rinka and Kenichi came up to him. They informed him that the lead actors of the television show (Japanese: The Sparkling Trio is Alola DrinKyun) would not be able to make it to the television studio because their plane had been caught in a blizzard. This caused Rinka and Kenichi to panic and ask George for advice on how to make sure the program would still air. George then decided to cast Lana, Lillie and Mallow for one episode.

Trivia

• Rinka and Kenichi are named and designed after their voice actors, Rinka Otani and Hyadain (whose real name is Kenichi Maeyamada).
