KAITO

KAITO is a Piapro Character with a 1/7 scale figure from Prisma Wing available for pre-order and a Desktop Mate DLC launching July 9, 2026.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 2

KAITO, the virtual singer from the Piapro Characters lineup, has two new products in the pipeline as of mid-2026. Prime 1 Studio's PRISMA WING series announced a 1/7 scale figure of KAITO based on an original illustration by artist lack. The figure is available for pre-order at Kadostore for 32,890 yen until July 9, 2026, with a scheduled release in August 2027. The figure uses the same hexagonal base design as other figures in the line, allowing collectors to connect multiple characters.

Infinite Loop announced on July 2 that DLC for KAITO and MEIKO will launch simultaneously for the desktop mascot platform Desktop Mate on July 9. Each DLC costs 2,200 yen and will be available on Steam. The DLC includes newly produced 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voices exclusive to Desktop Mate. KAITO's motions include singing gestures, striking poses, eating ice cream, and leaving with a gentlemanly bow. With the addition of MEIKO and KAITO, all six Piapro Characters are now available in Desktop Mate.

Separately, a character named Kaito Kid appears in a Sega prize figure series from the Detective Conan franchise, but this is a different entity from the Piapro Character KAITO. The Piapro Character KAITO has no connection to the Detective Conan series.
