Talk:Kaito Nakamura
Redirect
Shouldn't Kaito be a disambig instead of a redirect ? Here is a list of the kaito's page
- Those guys could go on [[Kaito (disambig)]], but Kaito should still redirect to Kaito Nakamura.
Usually, we avoid pointing the redirect to disambigs for character names when there's a clear "lead" article. [[Hiro]] goes to [[Hiro Nakamura]], for example, not to [[Hiro (disambig)]]. Instead, there's a See Also section on Hiro Nakamura that leads to the disambig page.
That said, I don't think we need a Kaito (disambig). We don't have a Linderman (disambig). The disambiguation pages are more for things that are easily confused than merely for all articles that share a common word.
The best way to think about it is this: if someone added a link to [[Kaito]], is there a good chance that they meant Kaito's assistant or Kaito's henchmen? Not really. Now, if someone added a link to [[guard]], they could reasonably mean any one of several different guards, so [[guard]] properly redirects to [[guard (disambig)]]. Basically, the disambig pages are mostly just a way to catch when people accidentally link to the wrong article, or search for an ambiguous term.--Hardvice (talk) 08:21, 2 February 2007 (EST)- I have a feeling we're going to learn a lot more about Kaito and his organization in the coming weeks. All his operations might merit a page of their own eventually, much the way that AWI and the Linderman Group have their own pages. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:01, 2 February 2007 (EST)
Sword Reflexes
Is Kaito's power accelerated movement/reflexes? He was way more nimble then he should have been with that sword. --Xmuskrat 17:04, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
- We have absolutely no clue what power Kaito possesses. We have only his word that he has any power at all. --Ted C 17:27, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
- Hehe for one second I thought he has the power to speed up peoples learning. Hiro knows kung-fu after what seems to be nothing more than 3 or 4 hours training. That's... weird : ) -- FrenchFlo (talk) 17:44, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
- I wouldn't be surprised — I would be delighted, even, if Heroes introduced a power-amplifier-type character in the vein of Ted Brautigan (from Stephen King's Dark Tower saga), who boosted the powers of other nearby breakers (people with psionic abilities). --Torley 02:45, 25 May 2007 (EDT)

Kaito = Takezo Kensei ?!!
I know it's been a matter of specutlation, but on this page of the Yamagato Fellowship site there is a picture of Takezo Kensei that shows rollover text of "Kaito Nakamura"...
- all of the pictures say that. Heroe!(talk) (contribs) 15:43, 16 May 2007 (EDT)
- Actually, I was more bugged about what did Kaito mean with "I have waited a long time for a Nakamura to ascend", since he only has 2 (known) children... I don't think that Takezo - Kaito theory is that much far fetched.--N4d4br0v1tchk4 08:20, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
- George Takei implies that Kensei is an ancestor of Hiro.--Ice Vision 15:54, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
- Where exactly do you read that? Please quote.--N4d4br0v1tchk4 20:22, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
- Unless shown otherwise (and I certainly didn't see it in that Takei interview), I'm going with the theory that Kaito = Takezo. He could serve as a bridge in season 2, as part of the Generations theme. I wonder if Hiro did something significant in the past (e.g., 1670s) with his father, and his Dad remembered this and knew of what was to come? --Torley 02:48, 25 May 2007 (EDT)
- Takei strongly implied that Kensei was Hiro's ancestor.--Ice Vision 15:24, 25 May 2007 (EDT)
- If he did, it wasn't in that article. He speculates that his character learnt business from his father and that Takezo may be a distant ancestor. --Pearse 16:48, 26 May 2007 (EDT)

Ascension
When Kaito states that he's waited a long time for a Nakamura to ascend, is he referring to the ascension of humans to evolved humans? This would mean he doesn't have a power himself... did he mean something else? Puff0rx 09:00, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
- This is only a theory, but I suspect Kaito is much older than he appears and may be the original Kensai. I also suspect he's had many children and Hiro is the first one in a while to actually manifest any powers. We'll have to wait for season two to find out. :) (Admin 10:09, 26 May 2007 (EDT))
- "Ascend" may also refer to rising to the challenges of his journey. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:28, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
- Maybe Kaito is immortal. --Xmuskrat 16:20, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
Death
When did we decide that Kaito died in Four Months Later? I know it seems very, VERY likely, but we don't strictly have confirmation as of yet... We saw his body lying in a pool of blood, but in this show, that doesn't necessarily mean the end. I think the introduction paragraph should be changed back from referring to Kaito in the past tense, to reflect that he may not be dead. Bohrok Awakener 14:34, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
- Absolutely correct. Which articles lists him as dead?--Hardvice (talk) 14:37, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
- I Agree as well...--DarkPhoenix 14:38, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
