and one of the main characters who was gathering "Numbers" for his father in order to help his formerly sick brother, Hart Tenjo, in *Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL*. Assisted by a robot named Orbital 7, Kite was the most direct adversary of the first three arcs, but his "Numbers" are now in the possession of Yuma Tsukumo

## Design

### **Appearance**

Kite has light blue-grey eyes, pale skin and blonde hair that is curled up in a point with a dark green spiked front, also featuring dark green bangs. His attire includes a black trench coat with a high collar over a grey shirt, a finger-less black glove on his right hand, and white pants with black boots. He also has a belt with two purple deck boxes for his cards. In the past, Kite's attire included a pink shirt, brown pants and braces fitted around his belt.

When Kite Duels, his black outfit converts to white through a process called "Photon Transformation", additionally, once his Duel Gazer tattoo appears, it changes the color of his left eye from blue-grey to red. When he uses a "Photon" card while in "Photon Mode", his body lights up. It is later shown that this transformation physically and mentally drains Kite, eventually hurting him when it is used.

Unlike any other regular D-Pad version of a Duel Disk (that had been seen up until that point), Kite's disk is a blue and single-bladed disk that curves outside. He can Duel without a Duel Gazer; however, his left eye turns red and several marks resembling a Duel Gazer are seen when he Duels. He can also do this independently of Photon Transformation for when he is a spectator.

### **Personality**

Kite initially carried a pious and self-righteous demeanor as he aims to crush any opponent with a religious fervor in his duels. He also shares a brotherly bond with Hart similar to that of Seto Kaiba when it comes to protecting his younger brother, who is his "everything", from any danger. Kite clearly cares more about Hart's safety than his own, as he keeps using the Photon Transformation to hunt "Numbers" not caring that it damages his body and constantly ignores Orbital 7's warnings because he needs the "Numbers" to heal Hart

### **Abilities**

After he wins a Duel with a "Number" user, Kite uses his "Photon Hand" which enables him to extract the "Number" card from their users, though the process also steals their soul. Having lost their souls in this process, the original holders of each "Number" card ages dramatically. Kite possesses a "Duel Anchor", which he uses to prevent a "Number" user from running away, until the Duel is over. Both of these abilities are technological in origin and were provided by Dr. Faker. His Deck comes from the same source.

## Biography

### **History**

In the past, Kite lived with his brother Hart and Orbital 7 in a small, wooden villa where they would play all day while Hart drank his favorite drink, hot chocolate. Kite and Hart eventually moved into the facility owned by their father, Dr. Faker, which was located in Heartland. There he met Chris Arclight, who was reminded of his own brothers by Kite. Kite revealed he wanted power to protect Hart and Chris taught him how to play *Duel Monsters* in order to suit that purpose. Chris eventually left after learning the truth about what really happened to his father, Byron Arclight, and Kite was very upset when Chris left. Faker gave Kite a card, called "Message in a Bottle" when he was a child

## Relationships

### **Hart Tenjo**

Kite loves his little brother, Hart, very much and he is "everything" to him. In their childhood, Kite and Hart lived together mostly by themselves and would play every day, from catching butterflies to playing hide-and-seek. Kite would do anything it took to protect Hart, even at the cost of his own life, pushing himself to hunt "Numbers" on his own and disregarding the dangers of his Photon Transformation. Whenever Hart was in danger or pain, Kite underwent great panic and stress, to the point of not thinking clearly as his anger and worries took over.

### **Dr. Faker**

As a child, Kite seemed to share a good relationship with his father, who gave him the card "Message in a Bottle", much to his delight. Years later, lack of truth and trust strained the two, with Kite ceasing calling Faker "father" and addressed him as "Dr. Faker" only.Simply trying to protect both his sons, Faker didn't want Kite to push himself more than he already did as a Number Hunter. During their Duel, Kite expressed nothing but anger towards his father until he revealed the truth about his deal with the Barian World to sustain Hart's lifeforce. Hurt, Kite told his father that he should have trusted him, and promised to deal with the Barians in his place and forgave him.

### **Yuma Tsukumo**

As rivals in hunting "Numbers", Kite and Yuma initially saw each other as enemies. Kite first thought Yuma was a regular "Numbers" Holder and tried to get his Number. During the Duel, Kite was surprised that Yuma used 2 "Numbers", and identified him as Number Hunter, but looked happy to have a rival. After their first Duel, Yuma became depressed over his near loss and developed a fear of Kite, though this was short-lived and Yuma become more confident when facing Kite, despite knowing the dangers. Yuma was shown to respect Kite's Dueling skills, calling him "scary", but strong. Yuma asked Kite why he is collecting Numbers. Kite only answers that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange of his brother's sake. Determine to Duel Yuma, Kite told Yuma that they will settle their score in the World Duel Carnival. Coincidentally, there is some resemblance between Kite's and Yuma's Dueling styles, as both seem to prefer a more offense-based strategy, and their Dueling styles were at least somewhat compatible when they Tag Dueled. This may have some relation about the similarities Yuma and Kite. Shark, Kite and Yuma make a great team. We fought Shark and Kite both care about Yuma, but each in their own way, for example, Shark cares about him from close and from a distance, unlike Kaito, who cares about him from afar

### **Ryoga Kamishiro**

Kite's initial meeting with Shark is when he stopped Orbital 7 from killing him and demanded that Shark hand over the Emperor's Key. Having heard about the "Number Hunter", Shark figured out his intentions towards Yuma and lied about having a "Number" card. This resulted in a Duel between them, where Kite easily defeated Shark, taking the key and the latter's soul. Shark bared a grudge against Kite since then, and meeting again in Heartland Tower, he was very hostile to Kite, though he did help free him from the rubble that had trapped him. However, Kite didn't care about it as Hart was in trouble and told Shark they could have a rematch later. After arguing, the two agreed to work together to save Yuma and Hart. During the Duel with Dr. Faker, they developed a friendship and worked well with each other. Although Kite holds little contact with Shark, they come together if the Barian World poses a big enough threat, but they have a tendency to argue with each other. Initially, Kite refered to Shark by his first name, but as they were around each other more often, he began using Shark's nickname just as others do. Despite their differences, both he and Shark are a lot alike, both do whatever they can to protect their siblings (Hart and Rio) and become quite vengeful and angry when both are in danger, as well as both seem to possess cool and distant personalities. After Shark had sided with the Barians as Nash, Kite readily accepted that he was now his enemy and was resolved to fight him if he had to. However, as of the final episode, they became friends and allies once again.

### **Rio Kamishiro**

She is Kaito's best friend, and she is also the sister of his best friend. He cares about her a lot and consults her on some of the team's matters. In addition, he asks her many times to take his little brother out for a walk outside. Oftentimes, he annoys her in speaking, so he doesn't see her reaction, which is shyness, confusion, or anger, but he smiles and apologizes indirectly for that.

### Mizar

Mizar is a Galaxy-Eyes user just like Kite, this created a rivalry between them as only one of them can be the true Galaxy-Eyes user. Their initial meeting was when Yuma was unconscious during the Duel against Mizar and Kite took his place in the Duel as Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon was calling out to "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon". The Duel was put to a stop as the overwhelming energy of "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" began to break the Barian's Sphere Field. Since then Mizar and Kite have shown respect for each others skills as well as desire to control the others "Galaxy-Eyes" and prove himself the Dragon master. During their final Duel, Kite admits to Mizar to being the true Dragon master for believing in his dragon. Kite becomes the true Dragon master, but dies from his injuries and entrusts the "Number" to Mizar, believing him to make the right choice in the end. After their revival, the two became allies with Yuma in his fight to save the Astral World. Kaito also respects Mizar's younger sister, who is Mira

### Mera Yonazuki

Kaito was very surprised when he learned that Mizar has a younger sister, who was initially judged by her being a girl to be not strong, but when he watched her duel against Quatro, he knew that she was very strong and he always summoned her when he met Shark and Yuma, meaning that she had become part of the team.
