Kenji Watanabe

Kenji Watanabe is a sales engineer at the Osaka campus who translates customer missions into ship configurations. If a mining company asks whether a Leviathan Ore Hauler or two Atlas Heavy Freighters is cheaper for a Belt route, Kenji builds the model.

He authored Halcyon's public mission cost calculator and specialises in the Nimbus Gas Skimmer and Valkyrie Survey Corvette.

Kenji trained as an aerospace engineer and spent several years in flight dynamics before moving into sales. Customers value his candour: he will happily recommend a smaller, cheaper ship if it fits the mission better. He speaks regularly at webinars on mission costing and on comparing fuel types across the Halcyon fleet.
