Overview[]
According to an Instagram post by Luke, Kaizo is the main protagonist of Saiko's game, dubbed "Kevin's School", in which Fishy Boopkins was playing in his perspective in SMG4: Doki Doki Mario Club. He is a demon from hell looking for love in high school.[1]
Kaizo wears a red jacket with white paddings, a black t-shirt and black pants. He has gray horns and yellow eyes.
Appearance[]
Kaizo appears to be a demon humanoid with short, unkempt white hair, green eyes and long horns. He wears a long-sleeved shirt containing a stickman, wears knee-length shorts and boots. He also carries a scythe that transforms into a pair of drumsticks.
His official appearance kept most of his characteristic appearances in the concept art, with the addition of a headband and now wears a red jacket with white paddings, a black t-shirt and black pants.
Personality[]
His physical appearance showed that he has an edgy personality of that of a delinquent. He is also known to be violent as Saiko Bichitaru, presumably much more when he beheaded Mario in self-defence in SMG4: Mario meets a demon and is shortly beheaded. Due to his history of chaotic activities he had along with Saiko, he is very maladjusted, resorting to destruction and carnage without any degree of remorse. Unlike Saiko, who maintained a sense of control over her actions for the sake of her friends, Kaizo is a person who refuses the idea of changing and will resort to walking out on people who do not share the same ideas as him despite begrudgingly accepts for who she is. He is against anything to what he considers as wholesome, even willing to kill a puppy.
SMG4: The Meme Games 2022 shows he had a change of heart. After defeating Mario along with the other characters, he reconciled with Saiko and apologized for his actions. Nowadays Kaizo remains as Saiko's best friend, while still aggressive has become a lot calmer with his surroundings. He even shows comfort and is trusting towards Tari
History[]
SMG4: DO NOT ENTER[]
Up until this episode, Saiko had wanted to find a way to get back into the game, and in order to not let her friends know, she had hid Fishy Boopkins' laptop with the game in a room that restricted anyone of entry apart from her. In this episode, Mario thought that his "dreams" lie beyond the forbidden room and fought hard with Saiko to gain access, eventually doing so.
Mario stumbled upon the laptop, and turned on the game. There, Kaizo made his first appearance, albeit illustrated, asking the protagonist about how his date went. He was then supposed to bring his friend to Saiko to teach combat moves for the upcoming battle royale, but upon learning that Saiko was absent, he was shocked, while also causing the game to glitch.
SMG4: Mario meets a demon and is shortly beheaded[]
In his first physical appearance, he was brought out of the game by Saiko using Tari's cyborg arm, and when Mario found him just as he came in, he provoked an attack, only for him to behead him in self-defence. Once he was out, he found out that Saiko had lost her dynamic after spending 4 years missing and had hung out with her new friends often. When they reunited to play one song together, Kaizo stopped midway as he noticed that Saiko's commitment to chaos and violence had toned down and encouraged her to break her table lamp to get her spirits up, much to the protest of Tari, who did not like the idea of Saiko going violent as she used to. Saiko, nevertheless broke the lamp anyway to appease Kaizo and they went in a rampage across town, much to the concern of Luigi and Tari.
Numerous attempts were made by Luigi and Tari to try to bring them to their senses, but almost every attempt had been warded off by Kaizo. Ultimately, Luigi and Tari used their ultimate attack (a powerful hug) to bring Saiko back to their senses, much to the chagrin of Kaizo, who did not like that Saiko had changed and walked away from them towards the woods after being disappointed at her for not being what she used to be.
SMG4: Mario Gets Lit[]
Kaizo is seen with two Shy Guys performing at the Spicy Man Band. Saiko takes offense to his presence there, since she had tried and failed to get in for several years, and attempts to prove she's better. With the help of Boopkins and Bob, and a genre shift, the crowd moves over to her side, to Kaizo's surprise.

Reception[]
The fan's reaction for Kaizo's design following his creation has been mixed. It has mainly been criticized for both his anime-influenced appearance (which has become a repeating staple in SMG4's original characters), and especially his devil horns, which fans say makes him look overly edgy. But this was only because his appearance was chosen via polls during the live stream.
Furthermore, some fans have also argued that they wasted donating money on creating Kaizo, marking him as a underused character. After Kaizo was introduced with some major roles, he hardly has made any appearances in recent bloopers, this may be due to the fact the staff has not yet what to do with Kaizo considering he was the one responsible upgrading Saiko's new appearance after SMG4: The Meme Games 2022.
Trivia[]
- He was originally going to be named after Kevin Lerdwichagul, Luke's brother, as seen in Streaming Until I Hit 5̶ ̶m̶i̶l̶l̶ 5,100,000 Subscribers. but it was changed in the same live stream.
- He's the second male original character to have a humanoid appearance, the first being Whimpu.
- Kaizo's white hair, fanged teeth and connections with scythe weapons bears similarities to Soul Evans from Soul Eater. His demonic origins also seem to draw inspiration from Dante from Devil May Cry.
- Kaizo's name appears to be similar to Saiko.
- In his concept art, Kaizo is holding a pair of drumsticks. From this, it is assumed that he is a musician, most likely a drummer.
- His first name was inspired by Kaizo Mario World, also known as Asshole Mario. His surname is a combination of two words, with Kooru (凍る) meaning freeze, and -niru (煮る) meaning simmer, with the -ma part joining the words together.
- The two words in the surname contradict each other, much similarly to hot and cold, implying that he has a temperamental and aloof personality.
- However, another explanation would be that if translated into a single word, then his surname means freezing paint, which does not make sense unless the word freezing could also hint his aloofness. Or, if it is a play on words, his surname would sound akin to "cool maniac", also referencing his behavior.
- Unlike Saiko, Kaizo was taken out of the game using Tari's Meta Runner technology instead of using Kamek's wand.
- Prior to SMG4: The Meme Games 2022, Kaizo's text color was the same as Niles'. This may be due to an error.

- Alongside Whimpu, he is one of two characters who are anime boys.
- Although he isn't truly evil, he is one of the many SMG4 villains to be redeemed and he become friendly to SMG4 Crew (although he still violently aggressive and destructive).
