Kaitou KuninguBackgroundAs a three-year old puppy, he was taken into the slave camps when his pack got invaded by wolves of the Shadow/Hero clans. Kaitou seems to have connections with a wolf named Nikku, who is also part of the Ghost Pups. This indicates that Kaitou was part of the Lunar pack before they got attacked and taken away from their parents.
In the slave camps he was too young and weak to fulfill the tasks they expected of him. His fear put him in the center of attention. Kaitou had a much different treatment than most of his kind, but it is unknown why. While the others were used as energy sources and slaves, Kaitou was isolated from the rest and locked up in a cave that contains blood stains and bones of previous wolves that had died .
Chaos, one of the 6 leaders of the Shadow Clans, seems to reappear in his nightmares, which shows that Chaos was connected to Kaitou during his time as a slave. Chaos would watch outside the prison bars and repeatedly confront Kaitou with his weakness, and blaming him for the death of his own parents. Kaitou received two deep scars on his body during his time as a slave.
When Kaitou was freed from the slave camps, he had changed dramatically and not in the best ways. Micaiha, whom, was part of the Ghost Pups, felt pity for him and spent most of her time trying to get to who he really was rather than the impression he gave of himself. Due to her caring nature, and the fact that she never gave up on Kaitou even after she was bitten by him, he became extremely attached to her. Micaiha means the world to Kaitou just like Kaitou means the world to her. This lead Kaitou to mostly put his faith in her.
Despite being part of a pack and granted the rank of pack leader, he tends to have an attitude that doesn't fully fit his rank. Kaitou has a huge problem when it comes to following orders. He often acts out of rank or makes choices all on his own. He has gotten into serious arguments over this with Kane, the main leader of the pack he's part of. Kaitou seems to have a serious issue with Kane, but it is unknown why. Kaitou also loves to eavesdrop on others by climbing trees. Micaiha does try to talk to him about his unwanted behavior. Kaitou himself isn't doing well on social skills as he rarely socializes with others and even sleeps alone if Micaiha isn't around. He only seems to be close with Micaiha or Seth. Kaitou, however, seems to show interest and a caring nature towards Ruuza for some unknown reason. He talks about her in a protective way.

Another spoiler reveals more about the connection between Kaitou and Micaiha. Because of Micaiha's care, Kaitou has often looked at her as a wolf that matters everything to him. To him, Micaiha can't do anything wrong, and he's extremely defensive over her. Even so, their bonding is often misjudged by others quickly. Although he does blush from time to time depending on the situation, as a 12 year old his knowledge about love and partnership is extremely limited. He never stated what Micaiha is like to him, but only that he deeply cares of her. After all Micaiha is the one that has been taking care of him ever since he became part of the Ghost pups. Another spoiler shows that Kaitou later on interacts with Matt several times, but not in the friendliest manner. He questions Matt's skills as a father and at one point even had Matt chase him, leading Kaitou to attack with a shadow ball which injured both.
In episode 8 Kaitou directly confronts Ruuza. Earlier it is shown that Flora seemed to be heading into a trap planned by Cobor. As first it seemed Kaitou wanted to run away for his own safety, but he quickly changed his mind feeling somewhat responsible and worried for Flora. Rather than getting the attention of the guards he shifts into one of them and chooses to directly confront Ruuza rather than anyone else. Due to his actions the pack is quickly alerted of the danger as Kaitou makes his way out.
Personality
Kaitou shows to be quite a loner, preferring his distance and can easily be upset or annoyed when something doesn't seem the way it should be in his eyes. He lacks social skills and avoids interaction even with his own comrades except for a few he's close to. He seems to enjoy teasing those who are close to him but at the same time gets in trouble for his rebellious behavior where he refuses to follow rules and often acts on his own. Aside from that he also lacks morals and makes up for himself what is good and what is bad. He has a hard time speaking about his feelings and prefers not to.

Appearance
Kaitou is a Shadow wolf who has a rare color mutation. Rather than the usual grey marking running along the back from nosetip to tailtip, his marking is white. Kaitou is the only known Shadow wolf with this trait. The toes of his front paws are white, and he has green markings on his ears, under his eyes, throat, belly and flank. His nose is green as well. Kaitou has four golden bracelest on his left paw, and two deep scars that he acquired during his time as a slave. These scars are on his neck and in the middle of his back.
Abilities and Moves
Aside from the basic moves of his species and what wolves can do, Kaitou has a unique ability: he the only shadow wolf that can shape-shift. His shifting allows him to transform in other living creatures, including wolves. When shifting he can perfectly mimic the voice or sound of his target if he can hear the voice, but when returning to his normal state he is left powerless for a couple of minutes. To shift Kaitou does need to see the creature he wants to change in. No matter what creature he chooses, he loses the ability to use shadow powers, but adapts to abilities of the creatures he changes into, he does not however gain their powers. When changed into a different wolf specie, he cannot use elemental powers or mimic other elements. Aside from that, he has been shown to use a move known by most shadow wolves, the "shadow ball" in a spoiler which was aimed at Matt. Kaitou also seems to be able to climb trees.
