Based on 58 × 10^6 J/ψ events collected by BESII, the decay J/ψ→ K^± K_s π^∓π^0 is studied. In the invariant mass spectrum recoiling against the charged K^*(892)^±, the charged κ particle is found as a low mass enhancement. If a Breit-Wigner function of constant width is used to parameterize the kappa, its pole locates at (849 ± 77 ^+18_-14) -i (256 ± 40 ^+46_-22) MeV/c^2. Also in this channel, the decay J/ψ→ K^*(892)^+ K^*(892)^- is observed for the first time. Its branching ratio is (1.00 ± 0.19 ^+0.11_-0.32) × 10^-3.
