When he was 21, he moved to America to start a new life. He never bothered to tell his father that he left the UK, knowing that he wouldn't care and just brush it off.

### Meeting Scrooge McDuck/Becoming a Musician/Meeting Madeline Renea

When he first came to America, he was unable to get anyone's attention to greet him, leaving him alone. He didn't bothered to talk to anyone or tried to help eventually, thanks to many thoughts of him ruining some people's lives and making him feel more worthless.

6 years later, he met Scrooge McDuck. He introduced himself to Kapono and noticed how well he sang and wrote lyrics. He offered him to become a musician. This gave Kapono an opportunity to finally get the attention and love he desperately needed. Kapono agrees to work to be a musician.

On the day of his first show, he was nervous, fearing that no one will like him and he'll fail, but Scrooge encourages him. Kapono steps up towards the stage and begins to play his guitar and sing the lyrics he wrote. Pretty soon, he was beloved by many, finally getting the love his father never gave.

Because of his performance, he went from state to state to spread his music and enjoys the love he's been getting from everyone.

In 1923, he converted to Christianity.

One day, in 1925, he made his permanent home in a small town in the woods (Gravity Park), where he continues to play his music. In one of his shows, he met another hyena, Madeline Renea, who fell in love with him and his music.

Each performance he makes, he would be 'joyful' for the crowd and play his songs, with an irritated tone. Backstage, Kapono would act in a questionable way. To Scrooge, he would gaslight him for his relationship and for not being there when he needed him the most and would sometimes attempt to hurt him.

One day when Kapono visited his ex-girlfriend and she disappeared. No one knows what happened to her. Some say that the last person, Kapono, had done something to her and one revealed that they saw Kapono walking out of her house, with a crazed look on his face.

However, he noticed another man in the kitchen and angrily asked her who is he. She told him she met him after the fight they had, suggesting she's now engaged. When she goes to get the plates ready, the male hyena left, giving Kapono an opportunity.

Madeline returned, only to drop the plates to see Kapono, now snapped, holding the guitar in a menacing way. He told Madeline about his mental health has gone off the rails ever since she left him and still loved her, but also tells her “If I can't have you... No one will...” At first, Madeline attempts to use a knife on Kapono, but he swings his guitar at her, forcing her to run for her life. Upstairs, she attempted to scream for help, hoping that her neighbors would do something about it, but as she called for help, Kapono slams his guitar on to her head, bashing it countless times, killing her.

The fate of Madeline's fiance was unknown, Officer Quacker said that Kapono probably killed him as well.

### Finding Love Again/Death

In 1935, Kapono started to show romantic feelings to Scrooge, confusing him a lot. One day, at the church, after Scrooge eventually noticed and tried to explain that he isn't into him, Kapono ends up attacking his crush and eventually died inside the burning church.

Through the years, the church was barred away from society and abandoned by the people who lived there and Scrooge never talked about his old partner again.

This led to Kapono being more controlling. He inspected Madeline so many times when she comes over. At one point, Kapono even refuses to even let her out with anyone, leading to their break-up.

It drove Kapono to depression and an urge to kill her. When he visited Madeline after their break up, he used his iconic guitar as a murder weapon once he noticed she's been dating other people now. He originally wanted a friend of his to help with the body but she died before she could help.

### Scrooge McDuck

When they first met, Kapono and Scrooge were just friends. Scrooge helped him gain the courage to perform in front of everyone, eventually getting the love he wanted.

When Madeline 'disappeared', Kapono began falling for Scrooge, repeatedly flirting with him. However, when Scrooge rejected him, he went insane and tried to kill him but ended up killing himself.

### Victoria Ducksoa

Victoria was the nicest girl in Gravity Park. She loved kids and helping people. Before the accident, she befriended Kapono and agreed to help him with a 'task' and to never ever tell anyone about their actions. However, because of how Officer Quacker grew more suspicious towards the musician, Kapono had to revive his ex to prove that Madeline did disappeared and would have her be deemed insane. But first, he needed a test subject...
