==Character History== |
||
===[[Season One]]=== |
|||
{{season summary|season=One}} |
|||
After abducting [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]], [[Kaito's assistant]] opens the door of a sedan and Kaito steps out. |
|||
Kaito is adamant that Hiro should return home and work within the [[Yamagato Industries|family business]]. He says he will make Hiro executive vice president, and then rips up the painting of [[Hiro and the dinosaur]] to show what he thinks of Hiro's own plans. Kaito finally and unwillingly relents after he is convinced that [[Kimiko|Hiro's sister]] is much more suited to take over after him. |
|||
In [[1992]], Kaito meets with [[Thompson]], [[Claude Rains]], and [[Mr. Bennet]] on the rooftop of the [[Deveaux Building]]. Seemingly the superior of the three men in the Company, Kaito, cradling an [[Claire|infant]], orders Bennet to raise the child as his own. Despite Bennet's wariness of taking the girl, Kaito insists, saying that when she manifests an [[ability]], they will take her. Kaito then leaves with his son, Hiro, who is too young and too interested in his Game Boy to be aware of the importance of the events that just took place. |
|||
When Hiro and Ando visit Mr. Claremont's shop to get the [[Kensei sword]] fixed, Kaito appears. He tells Hiro that he did not return to [[Japan]] and instead stayed behind to observe Hiro. He reveals knowledge of Hiro's power and quest to save the world, as well as hinting that he too was once part of a group that worked for that same goal. Believing Hiro to be ready, he teaches Hiro swordfighting skills. While instructing Hiro, Kaito recounts to him how he, Kaito, used to tell Hiro the story of [[Takezo Kensei]] and the dragon, further strengthening his son's resolve. Later he praises Hiro for learning quickly. When Hiro realizes Ando has left by himself to kill [[Sylar]], Kaito tells him that Ando will die. |
|||
As Hiro and Kaito run out of [[Jittetsu Arms]], Kaito urges Hiro to forget his friend and continue his mission. Hiro replies he can't and Kaito tells him that he would have already lost. Hiro tells his father that his whole life he has looked down on him with disappointment, but he proclaims that he will not abandon his friend. Kaito tells Hiro not to forget his legacy and gives him his sword; Hiro bows and [[STM|teleports]] away. |
|||
===[[Season Two]]=== |
|||
{{season summary|season=Two}} |
|||
Kaito and [[Ando]] patiently wait in [[Kirby Plaza]] for [[Hiro]] to return. Kaito expresses guilt for always looking down on his son, never revealing how proud he was when he went on his quest. Suddenly, Kaito is profoundly disturbed when he opens a [[New York Chronicle|newspaper]] and finds a picture of himself with the [[Symbol]] drawn in red over his face, as it means that he will be dead in 24 hours. |
|||
Kaito and Ando then go to the top of the [[Deveaux Building]], where they are met by [[Angela Petrelli]]. Kaito sends Ando away to fetch him a sword to defend himself while he and Angela discuss their [[death threats]]. They also discuss the past, the elite [[group of twelve]] of which they were a part (which also included [[Charles Deveaux]], [[Mr. Linderman]] and [[Mr. Petrelli]]), and "all the people they killed". Kaito recommends that Angela try to disappear, and they part ways. While waiting for Ando to return, Kaito remains on the roof later into the night. A [[Hooded killer|figure]] wearing a hooded sweatshirt appears; Kaito remarks that of the nine remaining, he did not expect this person. Just as Ando returns with the sword, the hooded figure runs at Kaito and the two fall off the building. Ando looks over the side, only to find Kaito lying in a puddle of blood. |
|||
Kaito's death is being investigated by [[NYPD]]. [[Sandra]] shows [[Noah]] a newspaper article reporting Kaito's death before Noah shows her a painting by Isaac Mendez, which depicts the exact same picture as in the newspaper. |
|||
Angela is brought in for questioning, and she says that at one point, she and Kaito had a relationship many years ago. Mentally, Matt hears Kaito's murder was the result of revenge. |
|||
Angela confesses to murdering Kaito, and is subsequently arrested, but Matt and Nathan know the truth; Angela is only confessing to protect Nathan. |
|||
Ando informs Hiro of his father's murder. |
|||
Hiro attends his father's funeral and Japanese tradition states that the eldest son is the first to give an eulogy. He refuses to give the eulogy because doing so would mean he accepted his father's death. Hiro returns to the rooftop the day of the murder and listens in on the conversation between Kaito and Angela Petrelli. Kaito mentions that the Company had killed many people and the murderer was seeking revenge on them. After Angela leaves, Hiro confronts his father and attempts to convince him that its not worth dying for. Hiro and Kaito travel back 17 years to the day of [[Ishi Nakamura]]'s [[Ishi's funeral|funeral]] to show him how much pain he was feeling for his death, just as his father did for his mother. |
|||
Hiro encounters his younger self who is fighting with a sword as [[Takezo Kensei]] and gives him some words of advice. Hiro admits that he was childish and returns his father to the future. Hiro seemingly disappears from the roof and the killer appears. Just as the killer pushes Kaito over the edge, time stops and Hiro emerges from the darkness. If he could not save his father, he could still find out who the killer was. And Hiro does as he sees the face of [[Adam Monroe]] under the hood. |
|||
Kaito poses for a [[:Image:Photograph victoria adam kaito 77 obverse.jpg|photograph]] with [[Victoria]] and [[Adam]] on [[October 1977|October, 1977]]. |
|||
On [[November 2, 1977]], Kaito locks Adam up after Adam tries to release a [[Strain 138|mutated strain]] of the [[Shanti virus]]. He speaks with Victoria and tells her that Strain 138 will be kept safe in a [[Company]] [[Primatech Paper Co.|facility]] in [[Odessa, TX]]. |
|||
===[[Episode:The Second Coming|The Second Coming]]=== |
|||
A video message from Kaito is delivered to his office for [[Hiro]]. Hiro and [[Ando]] watch the video, which features Kaito addressing Hiro regarding a valuable secret stored in Kaito's safe, which Hiro must never open. Hiro opens the safe and finds part of a [[formula]], accompanied by another video of Kaito. He warns his son to keep the formula safe. |
|||
===[[Episode:It's Coming|It's Coming]]=== |
|||
Both [[Arthur]] and [[Angela]] mention Kaito knows who the catalyst is, and he was the only one. |
|||
===[[The Eclipse, Part 2]]=== |
|||
While looking through a ''[[9th Wonders!]]'' comic [[Hiro]] flips past a depiction of [[Kaito]]'s murder scene. Later Hiro asks why he should bother being a hero if Kaito is dead. While looking through a different ''9th Wonders!'' comic [[Frack]] finds a panel that shows Kaito giving baby [[Claire]] to [[Noah]], they realize that Hiro needs to take Claire to that moment to change things. Claire and Hiro [[Space-time manipulation|travel]] to the past. They see Kaito giving a baby Claire to Noah, ordering him to take care of her and not to get too close. A young Hiro sits in the background playing, oblivious to what is going on in front of him. |
|||
===[[Our Father]]=== |
|||
[[Hiro]] and [[Claire]] watch from the greenhouse on the [[Deveaux rooftop]] as Kaito entrusts baby Claire to [[Noah Bennet]]. He warns Noah not to get too close, then calls the ten-year-old Hiro to follow him to see his mother. Kaito and his wife [[Ishi]] have a conversation (in English so the young Hiro cannot understand them). Ishi tells him she thinks she will die that night. She wants to transfer the [[catalyst]] to Hiro to keep it in the family, but Kaito dismisses the idea saying Hiro cannot be trusted with such an important burden. Kaito later catches older Hiro in the hallway, and mistaking him for the new chef, sends him to the kitchen to prepare his wife's breakfast. |
|||
===[[Dual]]=== |
|||
Sixteen years in the past, Kaito discovers [[Hiro]] opening his safe. Believing that Hiro is a spy and a thief, Kaito demands to know who he really is. Kaito draws a katana and slashes repeatedly at his son. Hiro tries to defend himself with a large breadstick without appreciable success. Hiro tells Kaito he must destroy the [[formula]] but Kaito insists he is the guardian. He tries to kill Hiro, who tears the formula in half before he is rescued by [[Daphne]] and [[Ando]] at the last moment due to Ando supercharging Daphne with his new power, allowing her travel through time. Kaito assembles the two torn pieces of the formula. |
|||
===[[A Clear and Present Danger]]=== |
|||
[[Hiro]] mentions that the password to his computer is the name of someone important to him. Later, [[Ando]] enters "Kaito" as one of the passwords in an unsuccessful attempt to access his computer. |
|||
==Memorable Quotes== |
|||
"''My father is a very stern man. He is very traditional. He follows the rules and is very conservative. He's also very bull-headed. Once he sets his mind on something, he'll never give up. I guess I got my stubbornness from my father.''" |
|||
: - [[Hiro]] ([[Hiro's blog|Blog]] [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2007/02/my_father.php entry]) |
|||
"''For close to thirty years, I have seen my son as a disappointment. A dreamer who excelled at nothing. It was not until [[Hiro]] began this quest that I saw his strength, courage and wisdom. There is a legacy that I am meant to hand down to him. No, I will wait for Hiro to return. I am a man of patience.''" |
|||
: - Kaito (to [[Ando]]) (''[[Four Months Later...]]'') |
|||
"''So you think [[Adam Monroe|one]] of [[group of twelve|us]] sent [[death threats|these]]?''" |
|||
"''Yes. For the pain we caused. The people we have killed. There is no end to our suffering. I sought redemption by helping [[Hiro]] fulfill his [[fate vs. free will|destiny]] to save the world. How did you help your son?''" |
|||
: - [[Angela]], Kaito (''[[Four Months Later...]]'') |
|||
"''We have the [[power]] of gods. That does not mean we can play [[God]].''" |
|||
: - Kaito (to Hiro) (''[[Cautionary Tales]]'') |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
* In a deleted scene from ''[[Four Months Later]]'', Kaito reveals his "special ability" to Ando. Kaito says he can "[[:Image:Kaito's ability.jpg|see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome]]." He claims he is faster than a computer and attributes his success in the stock market to this ability. This ability is similar to [[accelerated probability]]. |
|||
* It is unknown whether or not Hiro's grandfather (who survived the attack on [[Hiroshima]]) is Kaito's father or father-in-law. (''[[The Crane]]'') |
|||
* There is a bit of discrepancy as to Kaito's age when he died. According to his [[Pinehearst file]], he was born [[April 20, 1937]]. According to the [[timeline]], Kaito died on [[March 11, 2007]]. That would make him 69 years old when he was killed, and about a month and a half shy of his seventieth birthday. However, the ''[[US Press]]'' headlined his obituary "Yamagato C.E.O. Dead At Age 70". |
|||
* According to his family's [[:Image:Linderman file - Hiro.JPG|Pinehearst file]], Kaito weighs 145 lbs. |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
*Kaito's limo's [[:Image:Kaitos_limo.jpg|license plate]] is NCC-1701. This is also the registry number of the USS ''Enterprise'' from ''[[Star Trek]]''. ([[George Takei]] was a cast member in the original ''Star Trek'' series, where he played the part of Hikaru Sulu, the ship's helmsman.) |
|||
* [[Pinehearst's file]] on Kaito lists his date of birth as [[April 20, 1937]]. This is the same date [[George Takei]], the actor who portrays Kaito, was born. |
