9 years ago, before the events of the present story, Kai was involved in a car accident in Hanabira. This accident lead to the death of his parents and sister as well as caused Kai to suffer a traumatic brain injury, leading to an exponential growth in all of his senses that became too much for him to handle; requiring him to take a vast amounts of anesthetics and stabilizers just to function properly.

However, thing would change during middle school, when Kai met Kyoichiro and noticed the scars on his hand that he tried covering up, he stood in front of him to help conceal them from the rest of their classmates. Kyoichiro noticed this act of kindness and, knowing about his past and condition, invited Kai to become a spy as thanks since it would help him not only learn how to control his enhanced senses, but also put them to good use. Kai accepted his offer and Kyoichiro began to train Kai as a spy.
