Kirito (Real name Kirigaya Kazuto) is the main protagonist of the anime series Sword Art Online, based on the popular light novel series.

Born October 7, 2008, Kazuto’s mother and father tragically died in a car crash leaving him getting adopted by his uncle and aunt.

He became a big video game fan. In the year 2022, Kazuto was the chosen one out of the 1000 people as the beta-tester for the very first VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing game) known as Sword Art Online.

He chose the name Kirito as his in-game avatar, and he proved to be one of the strongest and best players in Sword Art Online.

As Sword Art Online got it’s release on the official release date, Kazuto bought the game and played it. Until Kirito (now in the game itself) realized that Sword Art Online was a death trap.

It was revealed by Kayaba, the game’s developer, that all 10,000 players that logged in were trapped inside the game, and if they die in the game, they die in real life. The only way to get out of the game is to complete all of the floors in the tower.
