Kensai->Mages are usually only super-cheesy if you do the same-old same-old, like Grandmastery in Katanas, 3 stars in Dual-wielding, Celestial Fury + Dak'kon's Zerth Blade, Dual to Mage at Level 13. That setup is SO overdone, even my cat is sick of it.
Solution? Something else. I did a Kensai->Mage once: His proficiencies were in Hammers and Longswords, he Dualed at Level 15 (during the "The Transformation and the Dream" sequence in Chapter 4, to be precise), and he liked to wear lots of yellow.

I have also run a Kensai->Druid, specializing in Staves and Spears. A lot can be done with a Fighter kit....provided you don't screw up and accidentally choose to be a Wizard Slayer, of course.
