"I have a feeling it is somewhere in... The World"

—Kite

Kite is a video game character from the .hack//Games series.

Profile

In the .hack//Games, Kite was invited by his real life friend Yasuhiko to play an online game called The World. Orca, Yasuhiko's character, and Kite adventured in a dungeon where they encountered a mysterious girl named Aura. Aura was going to give Orca a mysterious book until a monster called Skeith appeared and killed Orca. Skeith was about to attack Kite as well, but a mysterious hacker named Helba saved Kite and booting him from the server with the book. After the encounter, Kite learned that his friend Yasuhiko had fallen into a coma in the real world. This prompted Kite to investigate The World thinking it may be related to their encounter with Skeith, which soon turn out to be a bigger crisis that he had ever thought.

Throughout his quest, he met a Heavy Blade character named BlackRose and she eventually becomes one of his best partners, as both having the same problem. Throughout his quests, he meets characters such as Mia, Elk, Mistral, Piros, and Wiseman. He also encounters a character named Balmung, Orca's partner in The World who used to think Kite was a hacker.

Not long after Yasuhiko got comatosed, Kite encounters a Data Bug at the Hulle Granz Cathedral.
