HENKEN BEKKENER

is a fictional character appearing in the Zeta Gundam series of the 'Gundam' universe.
Henken, a ship captain in the AEUG is first seen in command of the Argama. He works closely with Quattro Bagina and former senator, now AEUG founder Blex Forra. A tall, burly, jovial and good natured man, he nonetheless takes his job seriously and even turns over command of Argama to Bright Noa, acknowledging Bright's professional experience. Henken subsequently transfers to the ''Irish''-class battleship ''Radish''.
Henken is attracted to Emma Sheen and Emma shyly but good naturedly reciprocates the affection somewhat. Sadly, however, Henken is killed in battle when he maneuvers the ''Radish'' to draw Yazan Gable's fire from Emma.
