Kaidou Kaoru (海堂薫(かいどうかおる)) is a 2nd year student at Seigaku. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature Snake shots. He is mentored by Inui Sadaharu and holds a rivalry with Momoshiro Takeshi.

Kaidou Kaoru

Appearance

Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be significantly longer than other players, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots.

Biography

Detail the most important events the character is involved in throughout the story, including information from fan books, and how they fit together. Identify the character's initial motivation and how it changes over time. The information should be presented in roughly chronological order as long as this form does not impede the coherency of the text. If an event has a separate page (e.g. match pages), it is enough to link to that page and summarize the most relevant parts for the character's development rather than recounting everything.

Use subheadings at your discretion.
