Kai

The White Base's resident bad-attitude poster child, the cynical Kai has very mixed feelings about serving in the Federal Forces, though he does enjoy pestering Amuro with catcalls of "Newtype! Newtype!" Alternately clown and coward, Kai is nonetheless pressed into service as the Guncannon pilot. It's not until the ship's arrival in Belfast, where he first deserts the ship and then smuggles a comely Zeon spy aboard, that Kai finally makes up his mind which side he's on.

Kai, the most reluctant of the White Base's warriors, has no compunction about returning to civilian life after the end of the One Year War. Developing his interest in amateur photography into a career in journalism, he becomes a globe-trotting reporter. It's in this capacity that he meets up with AEUG agent Reccoa Londo in the jungles of South America. Once Reccoa is reunited with her comrades Kai returns to his day job, leaving only a pithy note for his old friend Hayato pointing out AEUG pilot Quattro Bajina's rather transparent secret identity.
