## Biography

### Early Life

Kai's parents were wealthy immigrants from Japan. They moved to the US in order to expand their business. He lived a seemingly average life, with nothing remarkable happening.

### Military Service

Looking for more excitement in his life, Kai enlisted in the military, proceeding to serve a number of tours in the United States Military. However, his military service came to an end in Afghanistan when he refused to follow orders when they involved hurting civilians. He was given a court martial and dishonourably discharged.

### Becoming Star Saber

While sorting through his parents belongings, Kai found a strange looking sword, which he assumed was just another priceless artefact his parents bought for display. However, when he touched it, he received visions of countless battles throughout the ages. Kai feels a bond with said sword and tries swinging it several times, with the sword spontaneously glowing blue and unleashing a shockwave that sliced clean through the wall. With this new power, Kai decides to become a vigilante and deliver his own brand of justice.

## Personality

Kai is very confident in his abilities. His tough military attitude, however, does occasionally make him seem less intelligent than he actually is. When in combat, he tends to be very serious and level-headed, often giving brutally honest advice when concerning other allies' mistakes. Occasionally, he does lose his temper when it comes to his teammates, especially Amelie Durand and Edison Tyrell. Eventually, Kai began to form bonds and be more mindful around his teammates, treating them as true friends.
