Personality
Originally, as he had no knowledge of the Darwin's Game, Kaname acted like a typical teenager. Even after getting involved with the game, he refused to kill his opponents even if they were trying to kill him. However, after he discovers Youta's dead body, he resolves to do whatever he can to clear the game, and gets rid of his hesitation of killing. He still prefers to resolve matters peacefully but will use a show of force if necessary, as shown when he threatened to slit Saigou Takeshi's throat when the latter threatened him. Because of his decision to clear the game, he doesn't consider Darwin's Game points as money and will only use it when necessary such as for negotiations.
Kaname has great willpower, good decision making abilities, and determination, shown through his victories against Banda-kun and Shuka. This latter attribute of his personality has been greatly commented on by his foes and his strategic thinking has allowed him to determine the weaknesses and abilities of his opponents.
