## Personality

Kaito has trouble opening up and connecting with others. He can be relatively calm and cautious at times. Kaito is quick-witted, making many deadpan remarks and observations at other's expense. Usually reserved, quiet, and calm, Kaito quickly gives sarcastic quips and blunt commentary. He is fierce and pragmatic and favors following his instincts above all else. He will take the initiative regardless of the danger and challenge, leading to impressive accomplishments. He is not overly confident but is aware of his skills and strengths to trust them and ask others to do the same. While a grounded and logical thinker, he is susceptible to his honest emotions. He often must reel himself in with patience and focus or ally input to cool his head. Kaito has embraced his role as a trainee to near extremes and places such high value on the stakes of the team's mission of clearing the game. His pragmatism causes disconnect and misunderstanding between himself and his teammates, making him seem indifferent, detached, and inconsiderate. Kaito is full of self-esteem and has developed a strong, conceited, hammy, and pessimistic personality. He hates being pitied, and Alina says he never likes leaning on others for support. Aloof and blunt, Kaito often had little to nothing to do with his teammates unless fighting together, constantly looking down on teammates. Kaito was also always depicted as being very closed off and always brushed aside any attempts from people to get to know them. Focused and calm, Kaito preferred to keep to himself instead of hanging out with others. Kaito possesses a moderate level of presumption, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own powers.

Due to his emotional trauma, Kaito attempted to be off-putting to spare himself the pain of possible rejection. This, coupled with his emotional instability, is not aided by Kaito's difficulty opening up to anyone personally in Division 12. In truth, Kaito is prone to self-consciousness and fears being rejected by others. He keeps people at a distance and shuts them out before leaving him first to protect himself. Despite his calm and composed exterior, he is terrified. He convinced himself that whatever expectations he would place on others and others would put on him would be let down. He didn't want to believe in anyone again because he feared being let down again. He also thought he was incompetent and severely lacked self-confidence, partly because he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age. This led to his parents being overprotective of him, missing a lot of school due to frequent hospital visits, and being bullied by his peers. He was very close to his childhood best friend, Lukas, whom he looks up to, admires, and tries his best to keep his illness a secret from him. Before moving with his family, because his parents thought he needed a peaceful life and that he could get a fresh start because of his diabetes, he made Lukas promised him to stay in touch and always be friends. Lukas happily accepts. However, after Lukas' father's death, his mother getting a new job, and his older sister, Anna, began looking after him, Lukas began to ignore, distance, and push away the people most dear to him and his peers, including Oliver. His illness and fallout with Lukas completely shattered his faith in people and himself.

However, after being supported by Alina, who helped him regain his fate in others and himself and helped him begin to lean on others, Kaito underwent a significant change. With Alina's support, he rekindled his broken friendship with Aaron (Lukas' avatar). He slowly became more sensible, considerate, friendly, and kind. He even began opening up more to his teammates, and he smiles more occasionally (something Apollo immediately notices) and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor.

Initially uninterested in romance, he falls in love with Alina, and her honesty inspires him to change his perspectives. Once he takes the time to think about it, he realizes he loves her and admits all that matters to him is that she is happy. After becoming a couple, he becomes very affectionate and devoted to her, leading them to begin dating after Stars United cleared.

Kaito is notably fond of the outdoors and wildlands, often visiting the Magical Creatures Reverse as he finds it enjoyable and peaceful, and is a competent swimmer, as he swims daily in the tributary of the Division 12 Dormitory. He also has a fondness for music, which he often listens to with his headphones on privately to ease his anxieties and stress from his illness. He also has a fondness for music, which he often listens to with his headphones on personally to alleviate his fears and pressure from his condition.

For all his flaws, he indeed places as much value on his teammates as he does his mission and makes an honest effort to connect with them no matter how often he scolds someone for their lack of focus. He is not fond of the idea of abandoning a teammate, even if he considers thinking as a trainee to weigh the greater good over a single life. Kaito is highly observant of his team's well-being and will rush to protect or avenge them when needed, even if it means putting himself directly in harm's way. Kaito has an immense sense of justice, selflessness, and the desire to fight alongside his team to bring light in dark times despite what costs may come.
