He will protect his airship and his crew without mercy, and his proud of the Shigeru's Lotus and it's flawless reputation. Bio - Kai was born an only child on the Shigeru's Lotus as it was traveling around the world. He grew up on the ship, and knew it's corridors and rooms as well as the back of his hand. He ate, slept, and breathed that ship. It was his home. Through his teenage years, he juggled home-schooling and learning to maintain and run the airship as well as a harlequin would juggling pins. He knew it was his future to own and run the Shigeru's Lotus, and he embraced it with all the passion and effort he could muster. As he aged, he became better and better at maintaining the ship, and eventually took over the ship. When they landed back in Japan, his parents turned the ship over to Kai when he was 27 as an announcement of their retirement. Kai happily accepted the ship, and with that, their parents left. The crew respected him as they had his father when he captained the ship, and Kai's newly inherited business was running better than ever.
