He is the most dangerous appearing person out of the whole team, but does have a soft side as is seen with Echizen's cat, Karupin. Contrary to Momoshiro who is very loud and cheerful, Kaido is quiet and brooding. His personality in general is a "macho" type of thing that he has in trying to show no weaknesses to Momoshiro who is his rival. In general he is like a snake which has earned him the nickname of "Viper". He is afraid of anything that has to do with ghosts and thinks only of improving his tennis skills. He is a master of the bugee whip shot which he has named "Snake". His stamina is the best of the entire team and he is known for his hardworking ways.
