Kaito has dark, jet black hair that falls forward on his fast and barely covers his stormy grey eyes. He has a pale complexion contrasting with his cherry red lips. He stands at 5 feet 8 not too tall, not too short and is very muscular. Hidden at the back of his neck is a thin scar. When Kaito is alone, he prefers to wear comfortable, baggy sweatshirts and tees. However due to his aunt and uncles dislike of him wearing “shabby” clothes, he primarily wears high end suits. As an act of subtle rebellion however, he will always make sure to style it with an expensive watch, a chain, earrings or bracelets and leave the collar undone refusing to give them any control.

To the rest of the world, Kaito looks like an arrogant, moody, and careless pureblood heir who could never care about anyone beneath him. Maybe it was because of his demeanor, how he was raised, or the fact that he never spoke more than a single word to someone he didn’t know. However if one got close to him, they would know he cares deeply about people, and is extremely loyal to his friends. When he gets close to someone, he will be extremely overprotective and caring. Because he was give little care as a child, any sign of genuine affection like a compliment, or a hug will break his facade just for a moment. Those who know him, know he loves to play the guitar, is excellent at photography and loves dogs especially golden retrievers.

Kaito grew up in a warm, loving household raised by Daichi Shinozaki and Rena Shinozaki. The two of them moved to New Zealand for their jobs choosing Queenstown for the cloudy environment in the mountains as Daichi was a vampire and Ren was human half-blood witch. They taught him to value people as who they are rather than just their blood status. They lived in Queenstown, New Zealand enjoying a peaceful quiet life tucked away in their mountain home. Both his parents tended to the home and completed most of their work from home, shielding Kaito from the harsh realities of the outside world. However when Kaito was six years old, his father was mysteriously pulled away for urgent work in Japan and was never seen again. Daichi worked as a Hit Wizard working with dangerous criminals and was called on these trips not very often. Each time he knew how dangerous they were and what the consequences could be, but loving his job, he went anyway. He was able to complete his job, but just barely managed to make it out alive and a little while later, he was proclaimed deceased. Authorities claimed it was because of Magical Exhaustion, evident in his past bursts of a lot of magic in a short period of time on similar trips and his history of using little magic at home. Only a few weeks later his mother passed away, in the shock and grief of her husband passing away, leaving Kaito entirely alone, and deeply depressed.

With no remaining connections in New Zealand, he was forced to move to the coastal estate in Fukui, Japan, to live with his distant aunt and uncle. However unlike his parents, his new guardians were cruel, elitist pureblood vampires or dhampirs, who resented Kaito, as his parents had left the majority of their massive family fortune to him. He was consistently subjected to the strict control and cruelty of his aunt and uncle. One such example was when he attended his mother and father’s joint funeral at the age of seven, six months later, and after that they commanded that he never speak of them again.

Starting the day after, Kaito started to hear strange talks between his snobbish cousins, aunt and uncle, about the possibility of arranging a marriage between him and one of his distant cousins, a cruel, strict girl a few years older, in an attempt to secure his inheritance. This marriage could be put into place after Kaito graduated from Mahoutokoro. Kaito was too young at the time to understand and thought this was a good thing before realizing later what a mistake that was and how it would sign his life away. For the rest of his childhood, he was constantly monitored, given little to no freedom and was forbidden from interacting with anyone deemed “lesser” by his new guardians. His only escape was talking to his best friend Ryusei in the neighboring mansion where they soon forged an incredible bond.

Throughout his time at the Fukui mansion, Kaito buried the sweet, naive child he used to be curled up in his mother’s arms. He learned to armor himself in a facade. He stopped speaking unless spoken to, reducing his vocabulary to icy, single word answers. He allowed himself to dress in stuffy suits like a cold and careless aristocrat. And by the time he was a teenager he forgot everything else. He forgot how to smile. How to let people in. How to display his inner emotions. Everyone saw him as an arrogant pureblood because that was what he was trained to be. Everyone but his best friend Ryusei. But when his letter to Mahoutokoro finally arrived, it only took a few weeks of exposure in the real world to remember everything his parents had taught him. And learn exactly how to rebel.

Kaito’s first instance of magic happened much later than his aunt and uncle would have liked. Because of this, he was only able to attend Mahoutokoro’s day camp for one year. At the age of 10, Kaito was arranged a meeting with the girl his aunt and uncle had been talking about for a while. He had heard of talks of them possibly being betrothed in the future and this would be his first meeting with her. As a charm of good luck, Kaito had brought the glass rose pendant that his mother typically wore, as it had been his mother’s good luck charm. He tucked it under his button down shirt.

The meeting had started relatively pleasant, the two conversed while eating and asked each other questions. However it was obvious that Kaito did not want to be there, as he had been dragged by his aunt and uncle. The girl, finally tired of his lack of attention grabbed him by the collar, demanding that he show more attention and then noticed the glass rose pendant and proceeded to rip it off of his neck. She had no idea how much it meant to him. She dropped it on the floor, letting the glass rose shatter into a million pieces.

Kaito, angry, and extremely unhappy had screamed at the time, shoving her over into the chair. As he did so, the glass rose pendant magically levitated back together into his hands. She lay on the floor next to the chair watching Kaito holding his pendant. That was the first time Kaito had displayed any magic. His aunt and uncle were happy that he had displayed his first instance of magic but were also extremely unhappy that he had disrespected her. In the next week, Kaito began to attend Mahoutokoro day camp however which he enjoyed a lot more than just staying in the Fukui mansion.
