guild and usually works alone. Kirito is also one of the clearers in SAO. When

surprised like everyone else, but unlike everyone else he quickly gets over it
and accepts it, to an extent. He mainly uses a one-handed sword "Elucidator" and
usually wears all black in-game, as it adds to stealth, and gives him his
nickname "The Black Swordsman" (黒の剣士 Kuro no Kenshi?). In SAO, he the possessor
of «Dual Blades», a unique skill which he only uses in emergencies to avoid
attention for being one out of the two people to have unique skills.

cousin/sister in a family of 3. He was adopted by Kirigaya Minetaka and Midori
(Suguha's parents). His mother (who is actually Midori's sister) and father
passed away after an accident when he was about 1 year old. When he was 10 years
old, he found out the truth. He treats playing in a VRMMO the same as living in
the real world (a result of living in SAO for two years).
