[1][3] Kenkoy was a comedic character who wore a baggy pair of pants, suspenders and charol[check spelling] shoes, and had slick, pomaded hair.

"[1] Although with a funny personality, Kenkoy courted Rosing, the Manileña (a woman from Manila) who represented the ideal and romanticized Filipino woman – a female who was timid, shy, kind, caring, prone to jealousy, and impeccable – garbed (like Philippine national hero José Rizal’s Maria Clara) in the traditional baro’t saya or the Sunday camisa (shirt) combined with the panuelo (kerchief), including the bakya (a pair of wooden clogs) footwear.

He started wearing pairs of pants similar to those worn by The Beatles, collared sport polo shirt, and Converse brand rubber shoes (sneakers).

A film version of Kenkoy was created in 1951, directed by Ramon Estrella and featured Filipino actors such as Dely Atay-atayan, Eduardo Infante, and Lopito.

[6] At one point in 1946, Velasquez said in an attempt that he was paid to write a script for an animated feature film based on his famous character, but the project was abandoned and later shifted to a live-action.
