==Summary==
Kirigaya Kazuto (桐ヶ谷 和人, Kirigaya Kazuto), born as Narusaka Kazuto (鳴坂 和人なるさか かずと, Narusaka Kazuto), and known as «Kirito» (キリト, Kirito) in «Sword Art Online» is the protagonist of the main Sword Art Online series. Kirito was chosen to be one of the one thousand beta testers for the closed beta of Sword Art Online, the first ever Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) for the NerveGear, and later joined the official version of the game. He thus became one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online, where he remained a solo player for the majority of the game, willingly taking on the role of a Beater to reduce discrimination against other former beta testers, as well as actively taking part in Boss battles as one of the Clearers.
During his time in SAO, Kirito temporarily became a member of the Moonlit Black Cats after helping them safely escape a dangerous dungeon, but returned to being a solo player when a fatal error resulted in the death of the other guild members, driving him even further away from ties with other people. At some point in the game, Kirito became known as the «Black Swordsman» (黒の剣士, Kuro no Kenshi) due to his tendency to wear black clothing and remaining solo. Near the end of the game, Kirito's heart began to open up once more when he started meeting the one who would eventually become the love of his life, Asuna, and the two begin bonding with each other, growing as individuals in the process. With his newfound love and drive to see his loved ones in the real world once again, Kirito slain the final boss of the game, returning everyone to the real world.
After Sword Art Online, there were many other adventures he undertook with both Asuna and the allies he made in Sword Art Online, both in other virtual reality games, augmented reality, and a simulation of another world.

Healing Crystals act instantly and can immediately bring one back to full HP, even when near-death), Teleportation & BFR (via Teleport & Corridor Crystals), Immortality (Type 2), Hypermobility (VR Avatars do not have muscles and insides like real people do.

Stamina: Infinite physically (Virtual Reality Avatars can never get physically tired; limited only to the mental power of the person themselves), Superhuman mentally (Slept for three hours nearly everyday in SAO, and most of his day consisted completely of fighting monsters non-stop)
Range: Standard Melee Range when unarmed, Extended Melee Range with a sword, Several Meters with dash-type Sword Skills, Tens of Meters with strongest attacks (Starburst Stream's shock waves were able to cover the entire 74th floor's boss room); Varies from Tens of Metres to Hundreds of Metres with shockwaves | Same as before, Tens of Metres with Metamorphosis | Same as before | Extended Melee Range with his Photon Saber, Several Metres with his Five-Seven
Standard Equipment: Unknown
Intelligence: Gifted combatant (Though he is academically average, Kirito has a high combat intelligence and can adapt to battles and situations on the fly. He has over 2 years of battle experience fighting for his life against both predictable NPCs and unpredictable players alike, developing a fighting style that revolves around tricking his opponents into doing what he wants through mind games and feints, or searching for any openings or weaknesses of the opponent on the fly and adapting his strategy to counteract that. His knack for finding patterns and adapting to situations has also led to him to develop multiple Outside System Skills to help in various situations, as well as notice things that most people wouldn't. This fighting experience is only sharpened after learning formal Kendo swordplay from Suguha during Ordinal Scale and learning formal swordsmanship for over a year in the North Centoria Imperial Sword Mastery Academy during his time in the Underworld. Additionally, Kirito is very knowledgeable with computers and mathematics (e.g. he randomly computes the volume of the food he eats), and is extremely proficient in multitasking. He has an extremely good memory, as he remembers dozens upon dozens of Sword Skills and how to get into their pre-motions, nearly every single game mechanic within SAO and ALO, and piles of information on every single floor of Aincrad up to the 75th floor; using everything he has in his memory to his advantage in combat. Even beyond Aincrad, his memory and instincts from his time in the floating castle made him an astute observer, recognizing weak points in weapons and an opponent's body, as well as memorizing seemingly useless facts that he could use later, such as various metal types or what specific flowers grow in what area, showing his dedication to observation that could come in handy when facing an unorthodox opponent or a mystery that had to be solved)
Weaknesses: No access to proto-incarnation; can get emotional. 
Notable Attacks/Techniques: Dual-sword skill (allows him to wield two swords)
