Appearance:
Kaito, stand just below 5'9, standing shorter then most of his male peers. He has youthful appearance, with a squarish face, and big, brown eyes. His nose short, almost button-like. He mouth is average, nothing too big, nothing too small. He has an infectious laugh, and very expressive eyes. His hair is short, but seems to have a mind of it own, going every which way, but the way Kaito wants it to. Kaito couldn't grow a beard to save his life, and the little bit of stubble he has, grows in such odd patches, that he just keeps himself clean shaven.
Kaito's demeanor is friendly, and calm. He will often smile, and nod when someone is talking, taking time to listen, and process, and give his opinions if he feels that it was needed. He smiles easily, and laughs easily too. His posture is typical for a trained swordsmen. His physique can be considered athletic, he is well tone, and with out much extra muscle. He moves swiftly, and maybe considered graceful, as long as he isn't around anyone he likes, otherwise he becomes clumsy, and ungraceful.
Kaito wears the typical attire of a Shinigami, with a silver sash, that he would often have his Zanpakutô, on his left side. Though otherwise the outfit is typical, and kosher. His gigai, though changes upon the occasion, the time of the year, or both. If it is warm, and he goes with a causal look, he will wear a brown tee-shirt, and jean shorts, with white shoes. If its colder, but still casual, then he swaps out the jean shorts for normal jeans, and has a gray sweatshirt on. His more formal attire, usual has a copper long-sleeve button-up shirt, black slacks, and perhaps topped off with a tie. He prefers to blend in, rather then stand out.
Personality:
Kaito, is a friendly individual. He enjoys meeting people, and talking with them. He can be a bit of a gossip monger, a skill that helps him in any of his investigations. He makes friends easily, and has a naturally approachable personality. He is a born haggler, and enjoys it quiet a bit. But all in all, he just enjoys being with people, and well talking.
He has a sharp and inquisitive mind, and is quite good with numbers and figures. He excelled at his studies, and his childhood of being a merchant's assistant, help build up his intellectual ability. He is both quick with his feet, and his mind. Though life in a shop, didn't help with his physical fortitude, and while in school, and battle, he is reliant on his agility, and quick mind, to help in a fight. He jokes easily, and enjoys life.
Kaito still is young at heart. He has a habit of becoming very nervous around people that he is attracted to. Often he will, become clumsy, and his active mind will began to work against him. Around these people, he has a habit of acting foolish, and saying silly things, often causing him to gain a nice rosy color to his cheeks. His nervousness is very apparent to the people around, during this state.
Kaito is extremely loyal, to the point over-baring, and possible a stick-in-the-mud type. He has a strong pack mentality, courtesy of Mazâurufu. He prefers to follow the letter of the law, over the spirit. He tries to be calm and collected, and not jump the gun and accuse shadows. He still has a strong protect and serve mentality.
Strengths:
Kaito is ambidextrous, from years of training, and practices. He specializes in Defensive Kidou, often using it to assist him in battle. He is fast and agile, able to attack with above average precision. This precision carries over to his defense, allowing him to parry attacks, or dodge them completely. He is both intelligent and personable, able to hold his own in all but the most intelligent of company. He has a lot of natural charm.
Weaknesses:
Kaito's specility in Defensive Kidou stems from one large flaw, even the simplest of Attack Kidou eludes him. He showed early on in the Academy an inability to use even the simplest of Hadou, forcing him to focus Kidou talents in Bakudou. The simplest Hadou will almost always backfire on him. His focus in speed and accuracy has done one thing, he isn't the most hardiest of Shinigami, he can't physically fight as long as the average Shinigami. And his lack of extreme focus has lead him to be mediocre in most fields. His nervousness around people he is attracted too, can hamper him, expecially if an opponent is aware of this, and takes advantage of this particular weakness.
Sealed Zanpakutô;: Kaito's sealed Zanpakutô, looks like a regular Katana in all respects. The blade itself is is around 28 inches, with no distinct marking or designs. The guard is circular, also with no particular markings. The handle, is white and sliver in color, that weave around the and end at the pommel. 4, 6” silver and white ribbons hang from the cap of the pommel. The sheath itself, continues the silver and white pattern in the handle, it had white and silver streaks swirling down the sheath itself.
Zanpakutô; Spirit: Mazâurufu, often called Maza by Kaito, is a large white wolf. From the tip of her snout, to her tail, she is long then what Kaito is tall, around 6 and half feet long. She is otherwise, built normally for a wolf of her size. Her eyes are a serene blue color, and her coat is a white on her back, and a cream color on her chest. She also has a silver streak that runs down the bridge of her snout, ending at the tip of her snout.
Maza, is fiercely protective, of Kaito, borderline over-baring. She loves to give Kaito advice, and will often remark on what has been seen, or heard. She has a strong sense of group unity, and his fiercely loyal. She is both gentle, and kind to Kaito, having the patients, to deal with his antics. She also generally advocates for a peaceful solution, but if Kaito, or anyone else she had 'adopted' into her pack, is threatened, she fight like there is no tomorrow.
The inner world that Maza makes her home in, is full gentle rolling hills, with a large, snow covered mountain in the middle of the hills. Mazâurufu lives in a large cave at the base of the mountain, where she can often be seen with her other pups, Gin and Shiro.
Gin is a the larger of the two pups, and is playful and rambunctious. He is given to tackling Kaito on sight, he is up to Kaito's knees. Shiro on the other hand, is quiet and reserved. She is just shorter than Gin, but she is technically older. Shiro loves to remind Gin of this fact, to Maza's chagrin. Both of the pups see Kaito as there big brother. There are two techniques that Maza has yet to show to Kaito, each associate with the pups. She will teach them to Kaito, when she feels he is ready, or fate forces her hand, or paw how ever you want to look at it.
Maza and her pups all have a human form. Mazâurufu human form, is often that of a tall, ageless women, with long flowing Silver and White hair. Gin is a wiry young boy, with wild silver hair, and a mischievous smile. Shiro, is a shy young girl, with shoulder length, white hair, and will often have her bangs swept to the left side, covering up her left eye. But Maza and the pups prefer the wolf forms over that of the human forms.

Technique Name: Hauru (Howl)
Technique Category: Augment
Technique Range: Short to Long
Technique Description: When Kaito says, Hauru, and slashes horizontally out with Mazâurufu causes an arc of air to go forth. The air is blunt, it doesn't cause a slashing injury. It used to negate an attack of equal power. The attack loses it force the farther it has to travel. (If an opponent is within 4ft to 10ft, the wave is strong enough to break bones, or shatter glass. If an opponent is with 11ft to 15ft, they may encounter a wave strong enough to stop them, or to knock them down. At 19ft or more, they might encounter a slight buffer. Nothing is felt beyond 23ft. If anything is obstructing the wave, it will will only effect that obstacle. )
History:
Kaito, was the only child of a school teacher, and an secretary. He had a relatively uneventful and short life. In middle school, he met his lover, and this is when his life began to change, and at the moment for the better. Kaito made it through middle school, and was in High School when the unthinkable happened, he died. He was over at his lover's home, when it started on fire. The tried to escape, but a support beam, gave way, crashing onto Kaito, killing him. His lover was able to escape, but was devastated.
Kaito was subsequently born into a relatively well respected merchant's family. Jirou, his father, was a relatively well of merchant, he made a comfortable living, selling to minor noble families, and the Gotei. Kaito, was again the only child, born to Jirou, and was raised to work in the family business. Kaito showed an aptitude for the life of a merchant. He was friendly and easy going, excelling in the art of haggling, and persuasion. He also become a bit of a rumormonger, using his natural curiosity to help him learn the latest news. His mother died when he was young.
For several years, Kaito enjoyed his life, being able to make friends almost everywhere he went. But then, the district where Kaito lived, was attacked. Somehow, a Hollow was able to make into the district, causing mayhem and destruction, in its wake. Though Kaito and his father, survived the attack, Kaito lost many of his friends, and there was some damage to the shop. But that was when Kaito first saw a Shinigami in action. Kaito had always heard about the stories, about the Shinigami. It was at that time, that Kaito decided to become a Shinigami, much like the one that had stopped the Hollow.
Jirou was disappointed when he heard about Kaito's desire to become a Shinigami, but relised, it would be a great honor if he was accepted. And much to Jirou's surprise, and Kaito's delight, he was accepted. Kaito went to the Academy, to study to become a Shinigami. After about a year, he started to have a strange, continuous dreams. He was constantly visited by an ageless woman,with white and silver hair, and often accompanied by a mischievous silver-haired boy and a shy white-haired girl. But the remaining years in the Academy, went by without much of a hitch. By the time he graduated, he had a relitively stainless record. But Kaito didn't stand out to any of the Captains, and wasn't scouted for a particular Division. In the end, the Masters of the Academy decided to place him into the 9th division.
Though Kaito had several more dreams, he didn't realize who the people from his dreams where in tell his second year after Graduating from the Academy. Kaito was placed onto his first assignment, on his own. He was tasked to investigate a break-in at the 12th district Facilities. Though nothing important was stolen, or damaged, Kaito still had to do an official investigation. Most assumed that it was a group of Academy students who somehow had made it in on a dare, or something. But upon tracking down a lead, that a friend of Kaito's in the 3rd Division, had given him, Kaito found a far more sinsiter creature, on the outskirts of Rugonkai District.

RP Sample:
Kaito was meditating in his room, when he felt the familiar tug. It was Mazâurufu, she was calling him. Kaito felt himself drift off into his inner realm.
~ ~ ~
When Kaito opened his eyes, he wasn't in his room anymore. The wind whispered by him, ruffling his outfit. The hills where quite, like they normally where. Only the whistle of the wind was heard. Kaito turned searching for the large mountain that inhabited the world, he found it, well it was hard to miss, it was a huge mountain. Kaito started to head toward the mountain. A few minutes pass and he could tell he was getting closer, eventually he reached the base.
Kaito had always been interested what was on top of the mountain. Maybe he should climb it. Then he heard a voice. “There is nothing special, on top of the mountain. All you can see is hills for miles.” The voice said. Kaito turned toward the source of the voice, “Maza!” he said, when he found the source. Kaito ran toward the tall wolf, and hugged her. It was good to see her.
'Well hello there, Kaito.' The wolf said, telepathically. He could tell the slight mirth in her inner voice. Then before Kaito knew it, he heard another voice, 'Kaito!' Kaito turned right in time to see a small silver streak, tackle him. He landed on the ground with a thump, and Kaito groan, “Hi, Gin, good to see you too.” Kaito could feel Maza's laughter. Gin, began to tug on Kaito's hem, growling playfully. Kaito began to wrestle with the rambunctious pup, then he felt something rub up against his side. He looked down at the little white head, “Hello, Shiro.” Kaito said softly as he gave her a small hug, and Gin tugged on his hem, again. 'Hi, Kaito.' Shiro said, quietly.
Kaito turned back toward Maza, he could swear she was laughing, still. “So, Maza,” Kaito began, feeling Shiro back away, and for what ever reason, Gin had stopped trying to rip his hem out, “What did you call me for?” he asked, right before Gin tackled Kaito again, causing Maza to burst out in laughter.
