見 is a pictograph of an eye 目 on legs 儿, representing a person actively looking. The modern form preserves this eye-and-legs structure clearly.
The top part 目 is an eye, and the bottom 儿 looks like legs. Together they show a person walking around with wide-open eyes, seeing everything.
For ケン, imagine a keen-eyed person named Ken who sees every detail: Ken -> ケン, and his sharp eyes match the kanji's meaning.
