Character History
Four Months Later...
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 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 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.
Lizards
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.
Kindred
Angela confesses to murdering Kaito, and is subsequently arrested, but Matt and Nathan know the truth; Angela is only confessing to protect Nathan.
Out of Time
Ando informs Hiro of his father's murder.
Cautionary Tales
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 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.
