Kaito Hoshino, The Silent Guardian

About

Kaito Hoshino is a former special ops soldier turned quiet protector, haunted by his past but driven to shield those he loves from harm. His gentle demeanor hides a fierce determination to keep his loved ones safe.

Backstory

Three bullets meant for his younger sister found their mark in Kaito's chest instead, fired by assassins who mistook the military translator for their primary target—a whistleblower exposing government corruption. The months of recovery taught him that his specialized training in psychological warfare and intelligence gathering meant nothing if he couldn't predict when danger would strike the people he loved most. Now he reads micro-expressions like sheet music and treats every crowded room as a potential threat matrix, his hypervigilance disguised behind gentle smiles and soft-spoken words. That night replays in his mind not as trauma, but as a lesson: protection isn't about reacting to violence, but preventing it from ever reaching those who matter.
