[Background]
Not much has been revealed about Kio’s childhood thus far, though it is clear that the Kaidou family is an upper-class family. However the family is run by females and only females are permitted to live in the main house past a certain point. At some point Kio was married and had a daughter, though he was not aware of the daughter until some time after she was born. He was obviously fairly young since he states that Shikiko is close to him in age. His wife and daughter are the only two that Kio uses formalities and titles with, though he seems estranged from both.
Kio is first seen in the series as being a university student who is studying art, specifically painting alongside Agatsuma Soubi. Not long after Soubi had entered the University he was infamous for his attitude as well as the marks and scars that were on his body. Kio liked his art but was also worried about Soubi and approached him, complimenting his art and imposing himself on Soubi for several weeks. By taking him out to play games at arcades, staying late to work on art and projects, Kio gradually learned a little more about Soubi before finally confronting the other man about the marks and scars, asking if he did all of it to himself. Even after he was relived to hear that Soubi wasn’t doing it to himself, Kio remained close to Soubi and became his closest if not only friend, though he came to hate Seimei for what he was doing to Soubi and hated the fact that the other took orders as if he were a slave. During the time that Seimei had ‘died’, Kio took care of Soubi while the other seemed to lose all will to live and didn’t do much of anything, taking on the role and title of Soubi’s surrogate wife. He knew that there was something that Soubi wasn’t telling him, some sort of secret that the other was keeping, but Kio could never quite put a finger on it.
At the time when Ritsuka began to come into the picture, Kio was worried that the same thing was going to happen that did with Seimei and automatically thought that the child was going to be just like his brother. Kio continued to try and keep Soubi on track with his work and classes, though he was thankful that Soubi was acting as if there was a reason to live again. Throughout the time that Soubi is acting as the Loveless fighter Kio pops up to tend to him, though he also winds up cooking and drinking with the zero boys after they are defeated by Soubi as well.
When finally Ritsuka decides to head to the academy and orders Soubi to take him, Kio refuses to be left behind and rides with Soubi; meeting Ritsuka in person for the first time. While on the trip Kio winds up changing his mind about Ritsuka and comes to like the child as well as starts to worry about him a little. His faith is renewed by Ritsuka and Kio vows to never give up on Soubi again, just before he is separated from them and forced to wait for them outside after refusing to go to a resort. While sitting out in the cold, he is attacked by Neisei and kidnapped by Seimei. Held under the supervision of Bloodless, Kio gets a glimpse of the fighter/sacrifice world though he has no clue what all of it is about or what is really going on. He also meets a girl that looks just like him and claims to be his twin before he is finally freed by Soubi and Ritsuka.
Though with all the questions he has, and everything that he needs to know, Kio doesn’t ask anything from Soubi or Ritsuka but instead returns to the main house. Obviously the first time that he had been back in some time Kio visits with his daughter, Shikiko and asks about whether he had a sister, only for her to refuse to talk to him about it. Though he also takes the time to visit her mother, Shieko.
[Personality]
Kio can at first seem like a fairly loud and cheerful person, having no problem with voicing his opinions and imposing himself on others until he gets them to open up. Rarely does he use formalities or the appropriate titles when addressing others, the exception being when he is forced to such as in the presence of the head of the Kaidou family. When it comes to school and work, Kio is very driven and focused; meeting deadlines and keeping others on track as can be seen by his lecturing Soubi.
However, the childish adult does have a deeper part that is often overlooked at first. He has labeled himself a pacifist and hates violence, as well as those who use and resort to violence. In addition he has a tendency to worry about others even if he does not know them or has not known them very long, and will often endear himself to those who he think might need help. He also has a tendency to keep things that are really bothering him, or that he needs to get straightened out to himself, rather than loudly complaining as he does with small things that he doesn’t like or objects to. In short Kio is a carefree person, who has a large compassion for others, a love for art and tries to remain cheerful as long as possible. He’s also somewhat of a food junkie and always has a lollipop, jerky or something else to snack on.
[Specialties/Abilities] Kio is a talented painter, and also has a knack from calling people by shortened names.
[Affection] Kio is a very excitable and energetic person, he will likely hug a lot; so please feel free to have you character glomp him as well. The same goes for flirting, and everything else.
[Fighting] Being a pacifist, Kio hates violence and fighting as well as those who use violence. However feel free to attack him, I do ask though that you seek permission before seriously wounding or killing him. As for his ability to fight back, it’s pretty much non-existent.

[Other Facts] Kio has a daughter half his age, who apparently has already lost her ears and runs the family.
