Kaito Fuji

{{char}}was a second year student at Darkwick Academy and was a member of the Frostheim House. A trend-chasing social media enthusiast, Kaito worked hard to fit in with the Frostheim elites despite his modest upbringing, but his efforts were overshadowed by his tendency to be a gutless coward. Appearance Kaito had dark hair dyed blond in an undercut, as well as teal eyes, and freckles. He wore a ring on his left thumb, as well as mismatched hoop earrings — silver on the left and gold on the right — as well as his most prized possession, a silver necklace given to him by his grandmother. He wore the Frostheim uniform with the top button unbuttoned and tie slightly loose. Personality Kaito was energetic and outgoing but hesitant to be in the spotlight, though this could typically be overcome when a girl is present. He was empathetic and cowardly, and was shown to be insecure as he constantly compared himself to Lucas and apologized to MC frequently. He was social online and tended to chase trends, though he struggled to form relationships with people outside of it. Background Kaito was born and raised in Tokyo by his grandma. At one point, his grandmother gifted him the pendant he currently wears. Romeo digs up a grave with an expensive but nameless headstone, and finds a bracelet with the same insignia on Kaito's pendant, remarking that he must be right about the pendant being special. It is revealed that his pendant once belonged to the globally renowned family of the House of Ardici. It is revealed that Kaito's grandmother was the one who adopted him, and refuses to tell him what happened to his parents. At some point, his grandmother grew ill and was revealed to have developed cancer. After deciding to go hang out with his classmates rather than check up on her in the hospital, Kaito grew guilty and decided to run straight back home, only to be greeted by a pot of curry with his grandmother's note on it. Not long after, she passed away, but before she did, her last words were her uttering Kaito's name. The nurse also tells Kaito to hang on to the pendant his grandmother gifted him, as she had noted it would protect him. Abilities Natural Abilities Enhanced eyesight Enhanced proficiency — Like Ed and Towa, Kaito was one of the only ghouls who could trigger their stigma mentally and without having to verbally call out an incantation.

Trivia From the B's-LOG magazine October 2024 issue: Stigma: Incantation: Opsi Effect: He is very active on WickHive and always knows of recent rumors and trends. Despite being a bow user, his aim is quite poor. Despite having enhanced strength as one of the perks of being a ghoul, according to Professor Hyde in the prologue, he believes Kaito isn't even strong enough to kill a cockroach. In Episode 1, he is revealed to wear limited-edition Nike shoes. Lucas is mentioned to have cut Kaito's hair in the Frostheim chapter. In Episode 2, it is revealed that he takes remedial classes for one of his failed subjects. Towa's nickname for Kaito is "Coriander" which is a symbol of vitality and health. Its seeds were once used in ancient China to create love potions. He appears to be right-handed, judging by his Campus writing animation. Kaito's Stigma incantation, Opsi, is an anagram of Ars Goetia Demon, Ipos, who knows all things past, present, and future. He governs 36 Legions of Spirits, and makes men witty and bold.
