Name
Kaito Morita
Age
15
Personality
“Still waters run deep”; it might be an old cliché, but it is certainly a good description for Kaito. His usual calm and composed exterior and his ability to keep a good poker-face when under pressure mean most people see him as an easy-going, uncomplicated individual. Those same people would likely be surprised to learn of the turbulent thoughts that go hidden behind his mild façade.
His drive and desire to win, his fear of failure, his frustration at setbacks and his relief when he succeeds; all of these are hidden unless they become strong enough to make waves on the surface.
History
Growing up in a small coastal town, the latest in a long line of fisherman, the sea has been an ever present force in Kaito’s life. He learned to swim almost before he could walk, took his first steps on the deck of a boat and has barely been far away enough from the water to stop smelling the tang of salt in the air his entire life.
His father was often away from home on long voyages, sailing into deep waters for days or weeks at a time to haul in big catches, leaving Kaito in the care of his mother and grandfather; his was under his grandfather’s stern but supportive influence that he was raised, learning how to swim, how to fish and, strangely, how to duel. Kaito’s home town could be a little behind the times but like almost everywhere else Duel Monsters was a popular past time and one that had caught the young boys interest when he saw people duelling at school. He wanted to take part and when he got home he told his parents as much; they were supportive and agreed to buy his a duel disk, but it was his grandfather who showed the most interest.
The old man had been a duellist in the past; having bucked the trend and become a merchant sailor rather than being a fisherman he had travelled to many different places, met many different people and at some point had taken up duelling as a way to pass the time or make some extra money. He used his past experiences to teach Kaito how to play and helped him to build his first deck, one inspired by the raw power of the ocean and similar in nature to the deck he used to play in his youth.
Under his grandfather’s tutelage Kaito soon became the second best duellist in his small town, second only to the old man himself. As he grew older and his skills developed, he began to feel like a big fish in a small pond; he was in love with Duel Monsters, but there was a distinct lack of challenges in the opponents he usually faced anymore other than his grandfather, and even their duels were familiar to the point of boredom now. He wanted to attend a duel academy, find stronger opponents and hone his skills even further.
His father objected to the notion, disliking the idea of his son being the first in generations to pursue a career unrelated to the sea, as a duellist instead of a fisherman like himself. His mother meanwhile was undecided and it was up to his grandfather to sway them into letting Kaito do as he wanted. They eventually conceded, albeit with a promise that if Kaito failed he would have to return home, and he applied to Mitsuri the next day.
