Kazuto Kirigaya

Aperçu

__Height:__ 172 cm __Weapon(s) of choice:__ Anneal Blade (1st Level), Queen's Knightblade (9th Level), Elucidator (50th level) and Dark Repulser (forged by [Lisbeth](https://anilist.co/character/43906/Shinozaki-Rika)) Kirito is a "solo" player, a player who hasn't joined a guild and usually works alone. He is also one of the very few people to have had the privilege to play in the beta testing period of Sword Art Online. His game alias, Kirito, is created by taking the syllables of the first and last Kanji of his real last and first names respectively: (Kirigaya Kazuto). In the real world, he lives with his mother and younger sister in a family of 3. When [Kayaba](https://anilist.co/character/36829) announced the start of the death game, he is surprised, but unlike everyone else he quickly gets over it and accepts it to an extent. He invited his friend [Klein](https://anilist.co/character/36830) to go with him but Klein had to find his friends in the game. He was invited to join them but he declined as he couldn't take the pressure of protecting them even with his beta testing knowledge of the game.
