I wouldn't use the two manufacturers together in the same unit, but they might be ok in the same army at a push.  Kensei are very slim and tall, realistic proportions but slightly fantasy in design, Perry are shorter, stockier and chunkier, a lot easier to model and paint though.

Horses are completely incompatible, Kensei ones are huge in comparison. Are there any particular models you want to know about, I have a fair few of each range.

Non in particular, just looking around for different minis for a project

They scale pretty well together, at least within the range of normal human variation.

However, unless the Perry's replaced their molds recently, it seems that several of their Japanese minis have a few issues. It's believed to be a wear and tear issue.
