what anime is the character kaito from
KAITO's codename was TARO; it likely came from Yamada TarÅ (å±±ç°å¤ªé), a placeholder name for male characters and the Japanese equivalent to John Smith. KAITO is often mistakenly called Kaito Shion or Shion Kaito, particularly by overseas fans. Shion was a fan-created term used to refer to him during the 2007-2009 period. Due to its common sighting, it is still incorrectly used by fans as his family name even as of the VOCALOID4 engine's release.
