Design

Appearance

Kaninja

Kaninja's human form

Kaninja is a man of small stature who wears ninja-clothing, including a cape, a sword and goggles.

In his true form, he is a black mosquito-like humanoid with distinctively round eyes with ripples. His mouth and nose now resemble the needle-like mouth that a mosquito possesses.

Personality

Attributed to his insect motif, Kaninja dislikes big things, as such he's a firm believer that being bigger is not synonymous of being better. He also demonstrates certain pride on his Number which is diminutive in size but large in destructive power. Like the other members of the Fearsome Four, he's not above cheating on his duels. He has also shown to be somewhat of a prankster by cracking jokes. Kaninja also has the habit of adding "ka" to his sentences.

Abilities

Kaninja has the ability to transform himself into a small mosquito. In this form he can fly and sting people, being capable of injecting an hallucinating poison that can make the victim believe the friend is the foe and vice-versa. Like other members of the Fearsome Four, he's capable of summoning a Barian Emblem in order to halve the Life Points of his opponents and add that value to his own.

Etymology

"Ka" means "mosquito".

Biography

Past life

Kaninja was once a human who worked with Mr. Heartland as a Dueling criminal until he died of unknown causes.[1] He was later reincarnated as a Barian.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II

Legendary Number War

After Semimaru's failure to defeat Yuma Tsukumo and Kurage's failure to defeat Reginald Kastle, Mr. Heartland decided to send Kaninja to investigate Kite Tenjo, whom disappeared from Heartland City. Taken the form of a mosquito, Kaninja observed Kite's conversation with Yuma and Tori regarding Astral, and proceed to inflict a hallucinative poison on him unsuspectingly. Later then, he attempts to prevent Kite and Quinton from sending Yuma off to the Astral World and initiated a Duel with the two.[2]

Using the effects of "Number 2: Shadow Mosquito Ninja" and the poison that he had injected Kite with earlier, he gained a significant advantage, causing Kite to think that he was Quinton and vice-versa, resulting in Kite defending Kaninja. Quinton was able to break Kite free from the hallucination, allowing Kite to make a comeback and defeat Kaninja with a single attack from a powered up "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", causing him to vanish as Semimaru and Kurage had and relinquishing his "Number" to Kite[3]
