Appearance
.hack//LINK: Twilight Knights
Kite is a Twin Blade with red clothes, a large hat and blue hair that spikes outwards. He wears short gloves, and a textured shirt with rolled sleeves covered by a vest with a scarf over it. The symbols that were on his pants are absence in the manga however, in the game several belts coil around his sleeves, waist and legs with a design continuing underneath.
The Wave Symbols on his face are kept the same, each side still has two triangle shaped tattoos. The Sky Crest on the hat is changed into a “W” in the manga, but remains the same in the game. This same sign is shared by Azure Flame Kite and also shows on his previous avatar in the manga. The belts used to hold Kite's original weapons are the same, however the belt over his vest is different between versions. In the game it resembles the original and in the manga the straps allow him to equip blades onto his back. During the game there's a place to carry them at the side of his back.
Kite now uses a different set of dual blades that are larger from his original called (勇者の双剣 - loosely translated to 'twin blades of the hero'). During his battle against Fluegel in the manga these blades changed into a pair of triple dual edged blades with the same shape as “Empty Skies” He also displays an array of abilities similar to Azure Flame Kite. Additionally Kite still possesses the Twilight Bracelet. The bracelet is invisible unless activated through Data Drain, Gate Hacking or any other abilities.
Xth Form
After using enough Virus Cores both his wave symbols disappear for the first time. Kite gains messy hair, blue eyes, a red and black hat with a brown vest and a strange bow that separate into a pair of thin dual swords with a blue outer symbol. He also wears a large scarf, black and white pants, a dual sided belt, white harness, leather gloves and a red trench coat with dark over sleeves, an eye on his back and a bracelet on his right arm.
Personality
Kite's personality still retains his heroic motives and intentions within The World R:X and his concern for his friends. He still seems to have kept most if not all of his personality from the previous 10 years from The World.
