Ken
is Barbie's boyfriend. Like Barbie, he is forever young and
constantly reinvented (for example, the original Ken had felt hair,
but from 1962 on he has been sporting lower-maintenance plastic
molded hair). Ken's “into” everything – he's had at least 40
careers, although his career-hopping is dwarfed by Barbie's 78+
careers!
It is not at all clear, however, if he is “into” getting
married. In 2004, after decades of being boyfriend-girlfriend, Barbie
and Ken split up but (according to manufacturer Mattel) remained
friends. In 2011, again according to Mattel, Ken launched a massive
campaign to get Barbie back. It seems to me that it couldn't have
been that “massive,” however, because by Valentine's Day (2/14)
of that year, the power couple was reunited.
