Appearance
A young boy, compared to most the other graduates of the academy, of only 12 years of age. This young person stands at five feet, one and a quarter inches tall. His stature is mostly that of someone his age; slender and lean. Physically, he does possess moderate strength but nothing phenomenal. Most believe him to secretly be female. Soft spoken, un-matured voice, pale, baby soft skin, even most of his appearance resembles that of a female. At first glance, you wouldn't know any better.
His head has gently combed medium length hair, snow white in color. Locks of it fall across his face, around his ears and glasses. For some it may appear wild but it is in fact maintained to look this way. The glasses that he wears sit slightly off the optimal position atop the bridge of his nose and they do little more than enable him to read better. Behind those are his dark, deep purple eyes.
As for the way of a Shinigami, he sports a standard issue Shihakusho. The folds in the front fit snuggly and reveal nothing of his body while his arms and legs are a tad too big. All but the tips of his fingers are hidden beneath his sleeves. The sash holding his uniform together at his waste is tied with a small bow in the front and the ends hang down to his feet.
Lastly, his appearance is finished with his ninja blade style Zanpakutō slung across his back. A light, slim sash binds it at either end of its sheath. The blade itself is guard less and over all it resembles a piece of casted, sharpened steel with a lightly colored laced grip. It looks very different from a standard katana based Zanpakutō. The sheath that holds it is also different from standard. It is wider and thinner than most, and fits nicely in his form across his back. The handle extends shortly off his right shoulder.
Personality
Kaito for the most part is gentle; caring for family, squadmates and above all, his friends. He would attempt to defend there honor, if needed, but in the process most likely humiliate himself. He is definitely not top of the line Shinigami material, however, he would try his hardest at anything with the right persuasion. If a bird is a swift creature, Kaito is about as swift as a mule with three legs. He is not out spoken, and most often than not, would prefer to keep to himself than speak out. Hiding behind either a book, or another person before letting it be known he was their. Lastly, he sometimes cannot control his emotions and lets them get the better of him. In a time of great sadness, tears would flow, just as well he would shout at the top of his lungs in a fit madness.
History
Kaito was born in District 34 of Rukongai to a single mother of twenty years of age. He was the love child of a relationship gone sour. The father was a shinigami who, once found out she was pregnant, left, never to return. This saddened her but the soon to be new born was of more importance to her now. Wanting to raise it in a decent manner without knowledge of being in poverty or riches, she chose the median. She truly believed this would be best for him.
Only a small collective of people lived in District 34. Few of them, however, had children. Even then most the other children had other friends and Kaito never had the skills to properly approach them. He tried on a few occasions to befriend them only to be shunned for his size, hair or eye color. As such he grew up mostly hanging around the adults in town. This taught him to be caring and thoughtful towards others, even if they weren't the cream of the crop.
He found it amusing to play with himself in the calmness of his own home when not helping others in his district. Often talked and argued and sometimes, though rare, had fits of insanity all with himself. Surprisingly this helped to sculpt his personality. One morning, a messenger from Seireitei arrived to let his mother know that the man who helped begot her son, had died in a brawl which was the result of a duel attempt while drunk. This did little to sadden her other than knowing her only son would never see his father. However, Kaito watched the mean carefully. Their style of clothing, the colors; all of them peaked an interest as to whom they were. He sat down with his mother and discussed what he had witnessed. Above all were the weapons and some strange feeling he got upon their arrival. Nothing bad, simply a sense of awe and pride.
After that day something he came to a decision. He would one day become a Shinigami himself. Eventually after years of asking around, and talking to others, and spoken dreams of being a Shinigami, his mother dragged him down to enlist. He would of never went by himself. She had no regrets about this choice. His mother knew this would be a good chance for him to make friends and do something with his life. Not only that but deep inside, she knew this was his dream. He only need a nudge to get it started.
Generally speaking, he passed the academy with little trouble. He was quick to learn techniques and often understood it the first time through, however, he does not possess the knowhow to master things as quickly. He learned quite a bit and matured somewhat, yet his age still weighed heavily upon him in most things he did. None of the divisions applied to have him , so he knew that he would have to choose one for himself. Not sure what one to choose, he began looking in the library for answers. He was a bookworm after all. The answer struck him with relative ease one day while drooling on a text book. He came to a final decision; Since his instinct had never failed him before, he was sure this would be the best choice. filing the proper papers, he successfully applied for the Third Division.
Combat
Strengths
With his small frame, Kaito can be quite agile in a mixup and able to dodge straight forward attacks with relative ease.
He tends to be emotional. This can catch his foes off guard, not knowing whether he is on the verge of giving up, have entering a blood thirsty madness.
Kaito tends to not care too much for battle, even lacking the power to win. He will only do what is necessary. Most of the time he will be the first to offer himself up for a distraction, Cannon Fodder more or less.
Weaknesses
His emotional instability can sometimes be used against him. If an enemy is proficient at taunting or harassing him, it may dramatically lower his moral and cause him to react without thinking.
His age can show through immaturity. If a squad mate degrades him or yells he may feel he doesn't need to listen to them. This can lead to him or someone else getting seriously injured.
For a 12 year old, he possesses moderate strength, but in comparison to other Shinigami, he is significantly weaker.
Even though he is quick and agile, in no way is he precise. He may trip, fall, or stumble from time to time.
