Kazuto, or as he prefers to be called Kaz, is a young man standing at a height of 170 cm (5'07") and weighing 63 kg (139 lbs). As seen from the above picture, Kaz has a light skin tone, medium-length red hair, and aqua-colored eyes. Since most of his time is occupied with school and the Order in Black, Kaz is primarily seen in his school uniform during the day and, at night, in the specially-made black suit provided to him by the organization. His suit consists of a black jacket worn unbuttoned and with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, a white, buttoned dress shirt underneath, a black tie, black slacks, black buckled belt with a gun holster attachment, and, strangely enough, Kaz wears a pair of casual boots that is predominantly red and white in color along with white socks. Kaz also wears the bracelets pictured above while in his Order attire. Additionally, it should be noted that Kaz's gun holster is located on the right side of his belt while he clips his Order badge on the opposite side. Outside of school and work, Kaz is usually seen dressed in a red-and-white hoodie, black-colored long shorts, the red-and-white casual boots with white socks, and his bracelets.[/hider][hider=Biography:]Kaz had a pretty normal childhood growing up in the countryside of Japan. He was your typical kid who was curious about the world. In fact, he was a bit of a troublemaker as well. His father worked as an electrician while his mother stayed at home to look after him and his older brother. Although Kaz's family certainly wasn't wealthy by any stretch of the word, they led a happy existence; that is until a month after Kaz's sixth birthday. Kaz's parents died in a car accident, leaving Kaz and his brother to the care of their grandparents. Kaz and Haru moved to Kaidan as a result.

Once Haru turned eighteen and secured a good job, he and Kaz moved to their own apartment and has been living there ever since. During Kaz's freshman year in high school, he received a strange letter in the mail one day - a black letter. Reading it, Kaz initially thought it was some kind of prank but the curious young man couldn't help but wanting to find out more. And so he went to the location specified in the letter. There he was soon greeted by three individuals dressed in black suits. What Kaz learned that day changed his entire perspective of the world.

After a period of time, Kaz returned to the agents with an answer to their recruitment: yes. As per the ritual, Kaz burned the black letter and awakened his soul's true power and, ever since then, has been training vigorously in order to become a full-fledged agent of the Order in Black. With his training finally complete after a grueling year-and-a-half, Kaz now joins the other agents of the Kaidan Branch out there in the city.[/hider]

[hider=Gun Appearance:][img=http://www.policemag.com/_Images/blogs/BodyguardRevolver-web-2.jpg][/hider][hider=Soul Weapon:][b][u]Gauntlets of Rebirth[/u][/b]

Once Kaz has become a spirit after entering the temporary death state, his soul's true power manifests itself into a pair of fingerless, red-leather gloves with the tops of each glove adorned with a [url=http://bigbackground.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/police-badge-wallpaper.png]silver sun ornament[/url]. The ornaments have the capability to rapidly spin in such a fashion as to produce enormous amounts of heat and, with a long enough cycle, can produce flames. Both the heat and flames produced by these gloves - known officially as the Gauntlets of Rebirth - can be weaponized by Kaz to fight supernatural beings. Although the gauntlets can produce substantially high temperatures, it has no visible effects on Kaz. A major weakness of the Gauntlets of Rebirth is that it drains the soul faster than a majority of other Soul Weapons. This means that Kaz must be constantly monitoring how much power he is using or risks returning to life faster than normal. Furthermore, overusing the gauntlets can overheat Kaz which immobilizes him for a period of time after he returns to life. When Kaz's soul is pushed to near fatigue, the ornaments cease to spin and so no more heat and flames are produced; Kaz returns to life after that.

[b][u]Techniques[/u][/b]
[list]
[*][b]Propulsion Flames[/b]: Kaz can produce a powerful stream of heat and flames to propel him along the ground or in the air at an exceptional speed. While not primarily a means of attack, the heat produced can cause a severe burn when directed at a close target.[/*]
[*][b]Ignite Gloves[/b]: Kaz's simplest means of attack, this technique envelopes Kaz's hands in powerful flames in which he then utilizes with his hand-to-hand combat in order to damage a target substantially further than normal.[/*]
[*][b]Searing Buster[/b]: This technique combines both the Propulsion Flames and the Ignite Gloves technique. First, Kaz launches himself into the air with the Propulsion Flames. Then, he uses the Ignite Gloves to envelope his right fist in flames and, upon contact with the target, produces a large, circular explosion of flames.[/*]
[*][b]Asura[/b]: One of the Gauntlets of Rebirth signature techniques, Asura allows Kaz to instantly evaporate various forms of liquid through a variety of methods. Physical contact such as a punch is a common method but Kaz can also use Asura through methods without physical contact as well such as blasting a target with heat or producing small fireballs that can be projected towards the target. Targets with liquid inside them are "cooked" from the inside out or, to a less extreme degree, suffer internal burn injuries. Liquid covering the exterior of a target vaporizes and burns the target severely. Targets that are complete void of liquid are unaffected. Although this technique is powerful, Kaz can only realistically use a portion of its full power or risk damaging his soul and physical body.[/*]
[*][b]Sun Bomb[/b]: With this technique, Kaz raises both fists into the air and produces a huge ball of flames; this step of the technique requires some time to fully produce the fireball. After the fireball is fully formed, Kaz slams it into the target which creates a huge of pillar of flames. The flames are powerful enough to fully incinerate weak enemies and critically damages stronger foes. This technique automatically returns Kaz to life after its usage.[/*]
[*][b]Deva[/b]: One of the Gauntlets of Rebirth signature techniques, Deva allows Kaz to produce white-colored flames. These flames are non-damaging and are constantly at room temperature. When used on a target, these flames will heal their injuries and grants them a temporary boost in power. Kaz cannot constantly use this technique as it draws a huge amount of power from his soul.[/*]
