Kaio Kincaid, also known as K.O., T.K.O., M.K.O., C.K.O. and P.K.O., is the titular main protagonist from the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes series.
== Charactah Account ==
K.O. is an excitable young lad with a love of battling and even bigger sense of justice. Currently, K.O. serves as an employee at Gar's Bodega.
K.O. is an eager young boy who wishes to be one of the world's greatest heroes and to make his mom proud of it. He is willing to learn anything that would make him a great hero, such as friendship. Extremely loyal to Lakewood Plaza Turbo, he is optimistic about anything that comes his way.
K.O. has a strong sense of willpower and courage but is very naive. This was shown in "You're Everybody's Sidekick", when he failed to realize that Red Action, Drupe, and Gregg were making fun of him until Enid pointed it out to him, and when he later failed to realize that Carol and Mr. Gar had started dating. He often shows that he wants nothing more in the world than to help people, as it would help him to get closer to his goal of becoming a true hero and because he feels good after. According to Dendy and her data, she believes that K.O's desire to help others comes from a lack of a father figure and wants to gain love from others in order to fill that void despite having a loving and caring mother.
