Kaiza Shirazou

Kaiza Shirazou was born on May 7, 1998.

Kaiza entered the second-annual Legacy of Champions tournament as the eighth-ranked Blaze Auras player in the world where he was eliminated by Amber Ryann. He would resurface in the BlazeCON Invitational Tournament where he would not forget his loss to Amber.

During the tournament, Kaiza had a suspicion that Amber, Kaito, Takumi, and Lynn were conspiring together. This lead him to become angered knowing that the deck was unfavorably stacked against him. He decided to make a declaration to Amber and Kaito personally that by the time this tournament was over, everyone would know his name. During the tournament, Kaiza eliminated Kaito during the first round. After Amber won her first round, she was slated to face Kaiza in the second round.

Wanting to prove his friendship to Amber, Kaito gave her pointers on how to be Kaiza. Thanks to Kaito's tips and his nerve-calming therapy, Amber was able to defeat Kaiza in an embarrassing fashion. Kaiza nearly physically assaulted Amber after their match until he was chased off by event security. Kazia would swear that he would make Amber Ryann pay for embarrassing him on a global stage.

Kazia began to stalk Amber. He threatened her in both the online and real world. Knowing where she worked, Kaiza walked into Things N' Stuff and overheard a conversation Amber and Kaito were having in the back room about Amber's natural hair color being white. Kaiza took to the forums in an effort to psychologically damage her with that information. After he failed and was banned from the forums, Kaiza began to harass Amber in real life. He even went so far as to throw a brick through the front window of the store, aimed right at Amber's head. This is when everyone knew that the situation was turning serious with him.

Kaiza eventually made an attempt on Amber's life by threatening to come to where she lived. Kaito acted fast and got Amber out of her apartment, bringing her to Things N' Stuff where she thought that Amber would be safe. Instead, Kaiza was at Things N' Stuff where he was holding Jessi hostage at knife point. When Kaiza saw Amber and Kaito enter the store from the back room, he released Jessi and went straight for Amber; however, Kaito pushed her out of the way and took the knife instead. Kaiza was then tackled by Sebastian and was later arrested by local police.

Kaiza was deported back to Japan where he underwent strict rehabilitation. In an effort to calm himself, he began playing Sanctuary: Rise of Heroes as the character Daunt. There, he met Amber's character Koroshi but didn't know it was her. As Daunt, Kaiza helped Amber level and even gave her some crafted gear without asking for anything in return. Suddenly, Daunt disappeared from Sanctuary.

Kaiza had completed his rehabilitation. Upon doing so, he quit Sanctuary stating that he never wanted to touch another video game ever again. Kaiza dedicated his free time traveling from town to town giving lectures about the dangers of becoming over-competitive in video games. He wanted to make sure that nobody went down the same path that he did. Part of his rehabilitation called for him doing something voluntary. Escorted by authorities, Kaiza went back to America where he properly apologized to both Kaito and Amber for his actions. Despite not accepting his apology, Kaiza was glad that he had the opportunity to do so. He returned to Japan shortly after where he continued giving his lectures.

## Appearance

Kaiza wears black jeans held with a red belt with gold buckle. He has a red and black diamond-patterned lanyard hanging from his belt. Kazia also wears a black jean jacket over a red t-shirt with a black target graphic on the front. A black and red camouflage bandana adorns his head. Sometimes he wears a pair of black sunglasses to hide his brown eyes.

## Personality

Kaiza is extremely short-tempered and ultra-competitive to a fault. Losing is not something he takes very well and when he does, he goes on a mental rampage. Later on in the series, his rehabilitation pacifies him into someone who holds deep regrets for his past actions. He looks to better his life and others by lecturing youths on the dangers of competitive gaming.
