Appearance
Kaito has spiked purple hair that's grown out both at the top and bottom of his head and a short goatee. His eyes are a warm lilac. He also has a slightly tanned complexion.

Kaito wears a tee shirt with a red design resembling a half of a face or a mask, on top of that he wears a long sleeved dress shirt with a breast pocket. On this shirt are black buttons which are currently not in use. On top of that, he wears a long, purple overcoat with a galaxy design inside it. However his coat is never worn properly, instead, Kaito wears his left sleeve and leaves the right side of the coat to drape over his shoulder. He wears purple pants matching his coat which are rolled up over his ankles. Kaito wears grey slippers with a strange, cloudy pattern.

In his promotional art, he's featured his entire coat draped over both of his shoulders, no slippers, and a mysterious pipe that resembles.

Personality
Kaito is an energetic person with a passionate heart, who lives for dreams and romance. He believes you need to take risks for the sake of your dreams and should't limit yourself. Due to his clichéd hot-blooded spirit and his document falsification he could pass the astronaut examination, proving that he is smart. He has also been described as an interesting and amusing person.

Kaito is a reliable older brother type of character.

Despite all of his positive points, Kaito has a great fear of supernatural, strongly disliking anything related to it. He is also slightly comical, sometimes having very over exaggerated expressions and reactions. During Bonus Mode, in the casino, Monokuma can tempt him to keep sinking his money into the slots, which implies that he could be gullible or easily addicted.

Being the Super High School Level Astronaut, he harbors a great longing to go to space, which appears to be his dream.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Kaito is famous for becoming the first teen to pass the astronaut exams. However, in reality he hasn't even passed the test, lacking the required college degree and thus cheating his way through using false documents that he got from an acquaintance. Once he was found out, he was allowed to stay on as a trainee thanks to being an interesting and amusing person of talent. He hasn't been to space yet, but he harbors a great longing to go.

Demo - Class Trial Ver.
Kaito is first seen inside the cafeteria along with Tenko Chabashira and Himiko Yumeno. When Kaito reveals he was cheating to become an astronaut trainee, Kaede Akamatsu becomes concerned of him.

Shuichi Saihara
Kaito feels eased and relaxed during the class trial in the demo because he knows that Shuichi, guided by his talent as the Super High School Level Detective, will eventually discover the truth.

Kaede Akamatsu
At first, Kaede is angered when Kaito informs her that he had broken the law in order to become an astronaut. However, he still supports her during the New Killing School Life.

Miu Iruma
Being the two loudest and outspoken characters, they get into disagreements. These disagreements can cause them to throw insults at each other. During the Danganronpa V3 demo, Miu calls Kaito a "flower-garden brained idiot." Because these two can get emotional, both can end up losing their tempers, with Kaito scaring Miu in the end.

When Miu came up her plan to kill Kokichi, she planed to frame Kaito for the act.
