Meeting Gon
When Gon was 9 he was attacked by a bear-fox mother with its cub. Kaito saved Gon by killing the mother then hits Gon for making him kill it saying that even animals know to run from the bear-fox's territory. He then tries to kill the cub claiming it will grow up hating humans and will therefore be a danger to them. However Gon stops Kaito before he can kill it by protecting the cub saying that he will raise it.[1]
He then asks if Gon's father is called Ging. When Gon says he was Kaito informs him that his father did not die in an accident like he was told by Aunt Mito but that Ging is a hunter and Kaito's trainer. He leaves Gon Ging's hunter card then leaves to find Ging as a final testing claiming that it is the most diffcult hunt in the world.[1]
Chimera Ant Arc
After Gon completes Greed Island he used the Accompany card in an attempt to fly to Ging with Killua. However, Ging didn't want to meet him in front of a crowd and Gon was redirected to Kaito instead.[2] On an expedition to find new species of animal, Kaito was leading a team of seven young would-be Hunters named Banana Kavaro, Lin Koshi, Monta Yuras, Podungo Lapoy, Spinner Clow, and Stick Dinner. When another team found an arm belonging to the Chimera Ant's Queen that washed up on the shore, Kaito's group set out to find what it came from. He reasoned that the animal probably ended up in the NGL and entered the region with Gon and Killua.
Shortly after, they received a message from Ponzu who was already in the NGL with Pokkle. On their way to help, the group was attacked by Chimera Ants and soon discovered the factory that made the drug 'D'. He, Gon and Killua killed the ants inside and became targets of the Hauga Division. Using his scythe ability, Kaito quickly defeated the entire division in one blow.
Sensing disturbance, Neferpitou appeared, cutting off Kaito's arm before he can defend himself. Knowing that they would only be a hindrance to Kaito, Killua retreated, taking Gon with him. [3]Unable to stand up to the Chimera Ant's strength, Kaito was killed by Neferpitou and soon revived as a training dummy for new ant recruits.
Knuckle and Shoot managed to captured him afterwards and brought him before Gon. After taking some blows from Kaito, Gon hugs him and vows to get Neferpitou so he can save him.[4]
Nen Ability
Kaito's Nen ability is his Mad Clown: Crazy Slots[5]. All of the weapons that Kaito summons contain a clown on the weapon and on its tongue there is a number. Each of these numbers corresponds with a certain weapon. The numbers go from 1 to 9 and when Kaito summons his weapon a roulette insides its mouth activates and whatever number randomly appears the weapon that corresponds with that number appears. That means that Kaito can't choose what weapon he wants to use. The weapon won't disappear until he uses it. The clown on the Crazy Slots can also talk and comment on Kaito's actions and mood.
Scythe
- Number 2: Scythe. The special attack is named Silent Waltz: Grim Reaper's Dance and it is extremely destructive when Kaito used it to wipe out many chimera ants and it took out the enemies in all directions.[6]
Staff
- Number 3: Staff.[7]
Rifle
- Number 4: Rifle.[8]
