It's been a hot minute since I've posted Kaito art 👁👄👁 Once upon a time I posted a drawing of my talentswap bois with a new one I never got around to making, bUT I got in the zone a while ago to properly give him a drawing so here he is!! Kaito as the Ultimate Gamer 🕹✨💜

As always I have to say that I'm not that good at drawing but for once idc cause I had so much fun with this!! I love videogames and I adore Kaito so you can imagine how happy I was while drawing 🤚🏽💕 I think there's a total of 23 game/general gaming related references so truly, all the kudos and love to you if you can identify them all!! 🌚💜

He listens to Game Over by Falling In Reverse religiously and his one game weakness is horror games and I love him very much <3 True to my Kaito loving self I thought of some hc's for him which are below (finally figured out how to do the keep reading thing asdfghkl) but yeah hope you guys like him as much as I do!! :] 💞💞💞

-He will play any and all games

-Even horror games but he kinda sucks at them cause he gets scared all the time and dies

-Lowkey competitive and a perfectionist, he needs to get ALL the trophies and achievements but he enjoys the game and plot first

-Shuichi and Maki literally have to force him to sleep cause otherwise he stays up all night playing games

-If he had to pick a fave genre it'd be action games, fighting games or racing games

-His phone ringtone is the Super Mario Bros theme song

-Kirumi, aka mom™, always scolds him for slouching and corrects his posture

-Constantly browses the interwebs for new or rare games/consoles/merch/etc he doesn't have yet (someone help this man and his bank account)

-He has rows upon rows of games and don't even get me started on all the consoles he owns

-Besides playing videogames, he likes watching gaming documentaries and movies (especially the movies)

-His fave one is probs Wreck It Ralph and he cries a lot during the "I'm bad and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I rather be but me" volcano scene

-His lab is literally designed after an arcade

-If he plays games with his friends he will literally only let Himiko, Gonta, or Chihiro win, the rest will get obliterated into next week (not even his sidekicks get the special treatment)

-He will fight you if you think yourself a superior/true gamer just cause you play action packed games and hate on people who play "cutesy" or chill games

-He ALWAYS has a handheld console and does not go anywhere without one

-He got scouted by Hope's Peak when he won a fuckton of gaming competitions

-He always commissions Rantaro for artwork of his game characters

-Likewise he always commissions Sayaka for character costumes he wants to wear for cons (everyone is talentswapped so Rantaro is the ultimate artist and Sayaka the ultimate cosplayer huehue)

-His hoodies are sacred and so far he's only let Shuichi wear them

-He started a gaming club in the school and they meet up every Friday to chill, play games, and have friendly tournaments

-"Press f to pay respects" is his mantra

-He happens to like outer space a lot since he would always stargaze with his grandparents

-Hence why he automatically loves any game setting in space (cue Rainbow Road being his fave course in Mario Kart)

-He can probably tell you the history of gaming from the creation of Spacewar and Tennis For Two to the modern day in one sitting but he literally goes like 👁👄👁❓ for a sec tryna remember what he had for dinner last week

-One of his future goals is to create his own videogame

-Loves interacting with people online/through multiplayer, he has an endless amount of virtual friends
