== Trivia ==
* Kite’s name remains unspoken during the games, mainly because the player can rename the character; however, his default name Kite is the official name. In later material such as the Terminal Disk, Kite's name is spoken normally.
* The reason Kite chose his name is unknown, but the development team that created .hack derived it from "Kaitou", a Japanese word meaning "phantom thief". .hack started out as a game about a thief in a fantasy setting, and that name stuck.
* Yoshiyuki Sadamoto based Kite's proportions off of Naruto. At the time he had no idea that CyberConnect2 would go on to develop the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series.
* Ever since the creation of Kite’s avatar his character model has appeared in every era of .hack from then on.
