Missing Madison, WI Student Kenji Ohmi
Kenji Ohmi has been missing for almost a week. He is a Japanese student studying English at WESLI – the Wisconsin English as a Second Language Institute.
Kenji is 20-years old, 5’0 tall, and 120 pounds.
He lived at the WESLI dorms on North Hamilton Street near the Capitol.
That’s where Madison Police say Kenji was last seen.
Perreth says Kenji’s roommates saw him go to bed after a dorm party last Friday night.
The next morning, he says the dorm’s surveillance camera shows Kenji walking out at about 6:30 am.
Where he went is a mystery.
“He’s 20, he’s got a passport, he’s got money, he could just be somewhere, and that’s very possible,” says Perreth.

He arrived Dec. 27 from Japan to attend Wisconsin English as a Second Language Institute in Madison, said Dan Perreth, one of the institute’s directors.
Neither his two roommates nor his other friends at the school knew where he was going, said Amy Osorio, another director at the institute, which has 100 students from 25 countries.
He was dressed in jeans and a black coat, Osorio said.
