History
Hayato was born in Yamato along with his younger sister, Karen Kisaragi and their parents. One day they moved to Britannia, Guttenberg due to their father's job where Hayato befriended Emilia, who is revealed to be the third princess of the Britannia Empire. During the "Second Attack", he and Emilia were attacked by one of them where she suffered a serious wound on her chest and infected with the potent savage virus. To save her life, Hayato sucked up and spat out the tainted blood from the wound, though this process would soon turn both of them into Variants.

After saving her life, Hayato looked and noticed that soldiers were coming to assist them, but he soon suffered an impact to the back of his head knocking him out. The attack left him in a coma where he soon woke learning that his parents died in the attack leaving him to take care of his sister.

Years later, Hayato was scouted by the Warslang Company to become a student in Little Garden as a Slayer and in return, his sister would receive world-class treatment for her illness. He agreed with his tuition being waived, as well as being provided additional scholarship support.
