He also wears a unique and distinctive face earring on his left ear. The smiley face motif is something that appears on all of his clothing throughout his life. When he is admitted to prison, he wears a convict's jumpsuit and his hair is shorter.

history:

Kaito and Kei were very good childhood friends who used to play together often. When Kei's mother advised her son not to get close to Kaito because he was the son of a convict, Kei dropped his friendship with Kaito like it was nothing, something Kaito was very hurt by. It is implied that they stopped being together, although they live close by and attended different high schools. Despite Kei telling his "friends" that he thinks Kaito is strange, Kaito still greets him cheerfully, indicating that he holds no grudges towards him. When Kei is revealed to be an Ajin shortly after the truck accident, Kaito immediately begins preparing to help him. After receiving a call from Kei to meet him at the place where they captured a rhinoceros beetle when they were children, Kaito confronts a police officer who is about to capture Kei and they escape together on Kaito's motorcycle. Kaito expressly states that he doesn't care that Kei is an Ajin and is mildly interested in finding out that there are other Ajin out there. After fighting off two thugs who tried to capture Kei for money, Kaito also finds that he isn't that affected by Kei's Ajin scream. After another capture attempt by another biker, Kaito tells Kei that he believes he's human and that he's going to help Kei no matter what. After Kei repairs his broken legs by killing himself and they're about to flee on the biker's bike, Kaito's expression turns to worry. They stumble across the mountains together in an abandoned house with intentions of escaping to the countryside in Kyuushu together where people would have little knowledge of Ajins. After Kaito suggests they take turns keeping watch, Kei leaves Kaito behind while Kaito is asleep. Kaito is then seen walking alone down the back street. As of Chapter 28, he is in jail for being an Ajin sympathizer. He assists a fellow inmate, Takeshi Kotobu.
