Kite also appears in finale of the series' anime sequel .hack//Sign and in a manga adaptation of the games. Although the teenager behind Kite leaves The World in following games, his avatar was used to create characters who appear in sequels. Kite was created by CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama and writer Kazunori Itō, who aimed to create a character who is immersed in an MMORPG alongside the player. He was designed by artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, who was inspired by the manga character Naruto Uzumaki from the manga Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. Sadamoto aimed to make Kite look like a typical teenager with an interesting outfit. Kite was voiced by Sayaka Aida by in Japanese and Mona Marshall in English; both actors took a liking to the character though Marshall lamented not playing the games. Critical reception to Kite was positive. Critics enjoyed his role in the story and his heroic traits he displays when trying to save Orca, which players would be able to connect with him. Critics also praised the character's design and abilities. He has been popular within the franchise, ranking highly in a character popularity poll. (en)
