Theory	Citations	Notes
Takezo Kensei is the hooded individual who killed Kaito.	None	- This is highly unlikely considering Kensei has supposedly been dead for quite some time. + Takezo has showed some form of regeneration. Perhaps this extends to aging, making him near-immortal. + The heroeswiki site for "Kane", the supposed 1000 year old super-villain for this season, is a spoilers site for Kensei. There have also been reports that David Anders, the actor for Kensei will be playing the villain Kane. Also just to think that the names "Kane" and "Kensei" are somewhat similar. + If that above theory had some definite truth to it, it would explain why Kaito Nakamura and Yamagato Industries had such a big thing for Kensei- they were old friends! + Another thing, that might also explain how Linderman had the original Kensei sword in the first place, because if Kane/Kensei was in the old timers Heroes group with Angela and Kaito Nakamura, he would have also been with Linderman. • When Kaito sees the hooded killer he says, "I never would have thought it would have been you."
Takezo Kensei is the ancestor of Claire.	None	+ They both have the power of rapid cell regeneration. + They both have blonde hair - possibly a result of genes being passed down.
Takezo Kensei's ability is longevity.	None	+ In Godsend, we learn that he is born in 1584. Hiro goes back in time to 1671 and finds Takezo who doesn't look like he is 87 years old. + He was shown to have died after being shot with three arrows, but came back to life.
