I'm assuming you're a pure Kensai. Just a suggestion, but you might really want dual classing a Kensai to a Mage, Thief or Cleric, maybe once you start a new game. It's very fun and strong.

For offhand you should use Belm +2 if you want more attacks per round or Crom Fayer if you want to hit harder. The main hand would depend on what you were fighting. For undead I'd use Runehammer, for resistant enemies I'd use the Answerer, for spellcaster I'd suggest the Spectral Rand.

My personal suggestion however is Axe of the Unyielding +5 in the main hand and Yamato +4 in the offhand. This combination will give you -2AC and +1 Con. Since you can't wear armor, you need to work on your health and AC in any way you can. The axe gives you a 10% of a vorpal hit (instant kill) which reduces your time in melee, hence under attack. Also, by putting points into axes, you're improving your damage and speed with all throwing axes, which are the only ranged weapons, aside from throwing daggers, that Kensais get.
