!The Kencho nickname
!!Why Kencho?
Since I was a child, I was called "Chencho" in my family scope. Many time ago, I was called "Ketchup" (because it sounds like "Jesús" in spanish - false). As I always loved everything japanese-related, some friends of me found that the fusion of "Ketchup" and "Chencho" sounded japanese-like, so I nicely adopted "Kencho" as my nickname.
!!What does it mean?


I asked a good japanese friend of me for some ideas about the kanji transcription of Kencho. Many of them were proposed, but I found one specially cool: __Wise bird__. The kanji writting for Kencho is __賢鳥__. Its actual Hepburn transcription is "Kenchou" and its pronunciation is something like /kenchoh/.
!!Information about the word "Kencho"


Though google returns many results when searching for "Kencho" or "賢鳥", I haven't found nothing really relevant to the actual 賢鳥 name. Regarding "Kencho", you'll find that there was a period in the Japanese history named Kencho. There is a Kencho temple too there (the Kencho-ji temple). And many personal and company hits for Kencho.
Google returns 15,200 results for "Kencho" and 266 for "賢鳥"

!What have I done for OGRE?
I'm not a good programmer, so I haven't directly contributed to OGRE itself. So I do the only thing I can: Help the community.

I try to help as much as I can, replying questions in the forums and the IRC. I also submitted some tests I did for myself but found useful for others (DOF, motion blur, stereo vision effects...). 

I've also written some articles for this wiki:
* ((3rd person camera system tutorial))
* ((Per_renderable_transparency|Per renderable transparency (material instance)))
* ((Simple 3rd person camera)) (in collaboration with ((User:Creak|Creak)))
* ((Caelum)) engine
