10,000 stars works with bows as long as you have the zen archery feat. Most people take ranger because you have to have SP to imbue your arrows, anyway, and 6 ranger gives both ranged and TWF feats. You could probably squeeze kensei in with some variation of 8/6/6 build, but I think that 12 monk/6 ranger/2 fighter is a better split.
Possible variations on the idea:
12 monk / 6 ranger / 2 fighter (best split by a decent margin)
12 ranger / 6 monk / 2 fighter (decent as well with the lower starting dexterity score)
12 fighter / 7 monk / 1 wizard (reasonable but not optimal)
8 fighter / 6 monk / 6 ranger (reasonable but not optimal)
18 monk / 1 fighter / 1 wizard (tier 4 stances, not much else going for this)
Overall, I'd definitely suggest that either of the first 2 options are decent and can give you a feel for the relative strengths and weaknesses that the theme has to offer.
The big thing about 12 monk is the tier 3 stances, which give you either +1 crit on 19-20 (earth) or passive ki gen (water); having decent unarmed dps isn't a bad thing, either.
