Overview
Professor is the brains of the BBA Team team, the heroes of the series. He is a "self-described nerd", seeing as he'd gladly take the job of a janitor just to be around high-class instruments and computers. Later in the series his real name is revealed (Japanese version) and his mother is the one to say it. His real name is Manabu Saien (才媛マナブ Saien Manabu); all his friends call him Professor. Only a few people in the anime have called him by his real name such as his parents or DJ Blader in a few episodes. Professor is voiced by Houko Kuwashima in the Japanese version, while Kenny is voiced by Alex Hood in the North American version. Alex Hood says that Kenny (English Dub Version) has a similar personality to him and that portraying Kenny is like "playing myself in real life".
