About[]
Kite's avatar is a young, blue-haired boy dressed mostly in red clothing, with a red hat. His wave symbol consists of two tattoos on his cheeks. Originally his character was dressed in an forest green, but after using the Book of Twilight given to him by Aura he gained a unique red attire, and strange designs on his pants. As a Twin Blade he wields two short swords. His main weapons are level one dual blades called Amateur Blades. Though usually invisible, he carries the Twilight Bracelet on his right arm, which allows him to use his Data Drain and Gate Hacking abilities. The Twilight Bracelet is replaced with a lug nut during .hack//GIFT.
In the .hack//Games, Kite was invited by his real life friend Yasuhiko to play an online game called The World. Orca, Yasuhiko's character, and Kite adventured in a dungeon where they encountered a mysterious girl named Aura. Aura was going to give Orca a mysterious book until a monster called Skeith appeared and killed Orca. Skeith was about to attack Kite as well, but a mysterious hacker named Helba saved Kite and booting him from the server with the book. After the encounter, Kite learned that his friend Yasuhiko had fallen into a coma in the real world. This prompted Kite to investigate The World thinking it may be related to their encounter with Skeith, which soon turn out to be a bigger crisis that he had ever thought.

Abilities[]
Twin Blades are capable of using magic and also attack with melee faster than other classes, but ultimately don't stack up to dedicated classes in their crafts and aren't exactly high on durability, either. Unlike Haseo, Kite actually plays this straight; the main reason he keeps up with other party members is because he's player-controlled and you'll probably gear him more efficiently than other characters do for themselves outside of gifts. There's also the Bracelet, which is able to rewrite the code of the game and helps contribute to Kite's capabilities. Without these boons, Kite would be fairly subpar. Later works play up his legend by making him so skilled a player that he makes up for his theoretical shortcomings.
Project X Zone[]
Kite makes an appearance in Project X Zone. He is a playable character who is partnered up with BlackRose.
