---|---|---|
Kaito didn't have an ability at the end of his life because Arthur Petrelli stole it. | We have never conclusively seen Kaito demonstrate an ability. Arthur has the ability to absorb powers from others. | + Having a character who most likely has an ability die without demonstrating it is unusual for Heroes. + This could possibly explain where Arthur got telepathy.
+ This could be the event that divided the Company.
|
The "legacy" which Kaito wanted to pass on to Hiro was actually originally meant for Hiro specifically, and was given to the Nakamura family by Yaeko. | None | + Yaeko implied that she would pass down the story of Takezo Kensei as Hiro wished it to be. - In a video Kaito left to Hiro, Kaito states that Hiro's destiny was to protect the formula. |
Kaito has the ability to fill people with fear or manipulate fear. | None | + The bikers were scared away by Kaito. (Heroism Is Found in the Heart, Part 2)
- They didn't seem to even notice Kaito's presence, they're looking directly at Ando. This would seem to support the fact that there was something else (Kaito's power) influencing them.
- Hiro did not appear to be afraid of his father when Mr. Nakamura was trying to get him to return to Japan.
|
Kaito has some sort of shapeshifting or illusion power. | None | + The Kaito Nakamura seen in 1977 looked nothing like the present version. This was so far a difference than it just being casting limitations, as it shouldn't be hard to find somebody who resembles a young George Takei. - The difference between the two actors was minor. It probably was not deliberate. |
Kaito has a passive ability that allows him to intuitively know the strong and weak points of any human, evolved or not. | None | + In Landslide, he answered Hiro's question of "What can you possibly know of killing?" with "A few things". This could imply that he has an ability which involves knowing exactly where and when to strike that doesn't need activating.
|
Kaito's ability is adoptive muscle memory. | None | + Like Monica, Kaito shows amazing martial arts skills.
- Mohinder notes that Monica is first muscle mimic the Company has studied. Kaito is one of the Company founders. |
Kaito's ability is replication. | None | • Kaito could have used his powers to quickly create a clone just as he was pushed off the roof, with Adam killing the clone and the real Kaito landing on a windowsill or ledge on the Deveaux Building.
- If it was replication, Angela would have known. Instead, she refers to him being dead. (It's Coming) |
Kaito's ability is clairvoyance. | None | + Kaito found Hiro in an unlikely place in an enormous city. (The Fix) + Kaito found Hiro again in Landslide.
|
Kaito's ability is to see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome. | In a Volume 2 DVD deleted scene, Kaito shows his ability by looking at the newspaper. Plus, he tells Ando that his ability is the reason for Yamagato Industries' success. | + The ability was shown in a deleted scene. - Since it was only explained in a deleted scene, the writers can change the ability Kaito had.
+ In From the Files of Primatech, Part 2, Angela claims that Kaito knew that Chris Coolidge would be shot if he tried to address the rioters even though the others did not realize it. |
Kaito used his ability of probability computations to help the Company plan the destruction of New York City. | In the deleted scene from Four Months Later, Kaito's ability is shown to be probability computation. | + The Company may have needed someone with that ability in order to succeed with their plan. - He later trains Hiro to combat Sylar, the result of which being that Sylar could no longer push Peter any further, allowing Peter to hold off his explosive powers until Nathan arrived. Without Kaito, Hiro could not have saved New York. |
Kaito is rich and powerful because of his ability to see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome. | In a Volume 2 DVD deleted scene, Kaito shows his ability by looking at the newspaper. Plus, he tells Ando that his ability is the reason for Yamagato Industries success. | • Arthur may have taken his ability to gain his success too. |
Kaito's ability is that he doesn't flinch, similar to The Blob's power in the X-Men. A force keeps him firmly in position so he doesn't react physically to blows. | When Angela slapped him he did not react despite the fact that it sounded like a pretty hard hit. | - Adam wouldn't have been able to push him off the building if this was the case.
|
Kaito has the ability to read minds/emotions but not to the extent of Matt or Maury. | None | + Kaito seems to be able to read people very well and always know what's going on. - This could be because he is very experienced with dealing with tricky people. |
Kaito's ability is the ability to see anywhere into the past, future or present. | None | + If a parent's power is natural, their child's power will often be related to their own. Kaito's would be to see into any place in time and space, and Hiro's would be to go to any place in time and space.
+ Others have demonstrated abilities that are synonymous with mystical powers, such as Ida May Walker.
+ He would not have entrusted half of the formula to Hiro, unless he had known that he would obtain a specific power.
+ When Hiro opened the safe, he had a pre-recorded message that seemed very relevant to a time shortly after the first message was delivered.
+ In Landslide when Hiro asked if Kaito had returned to Japan, he said that he didn't in order to watch Hiro's progress, although no suspicious agents nor Kaito himself had been seen during major events.
|
Kaito Nakamura didn't have an ability to start with. | None | + Ishi Nakamura could be the one Hiro inherited his ability from. - It is heavily implied all Company founders had abilities.
- BTE said that "Mr. Nakamura had powers". |
Kaito knew about his son's adventures as Kensei. | None. | + Kaito seems to think highly of Takezo Kensei. If he thought Adam Monroe were the only Kensei, it is unlikely he would read Kensei's stories to his son.
|
Kaito's ability was to see in the dark. | The writers said the clue to Kaito's power is hidden in his final words to Adam: "Of all of them, I never expected it would be you". | + He could have seen Adam's face under his hood. - It might have just been intended for the viewers not to know because at that time we thought Adam was Kensei.
|
Kaito dated Angela before she was married. | Graphic Novel:From the Files of Primatech, Part 1 | + He met her when she was 18. + Nathan said Arthur always hated Kaito.
+ They seemed to be enjoying their dance. |
Kaito had danger sensing. | None. | + Angela noticed he knew something bad was about to happen.
