Kite Tenjo, known as
Kaito Tenjo (天てん城じょう カイト,
Tenjō Kaito) in the manga and Japanese version, is the son of
Dr. Faker, a
Number Hunter, and one of the main characters who was gathering "Numbers" for his father in order to help his formerly sick brother,
Hart Tenjo, in
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. Assisted by a robot named
Orbital 7, Kite was the most direct adversary of the first three arcs, but his "Numbers" are now in the possession of Yuma Tsukumo and
Astral. He is the only main rival who didn't lose to the protagonist. His Arc-V version was a famous professional Duelist in the
Xyz Dimension's
Heartland City before the
invasion of
Duel Academy, after which he becomes a member of
the Resistance. After his family were
sealed into cards by Duel Academy, Kite abandoned the Resistance and began a one-man vendetta against Duel Academy, vowing to seal thousands of its soldiers into cards and earning a bounty on his head as a result. After his Duels against
Yuya Sakaki and
Shay, Kite has a change of heart and he becomes an ally of the
Lancers.
