[Champion Concept] Kaito, the Raining Swordsmen
#Introduction & Backstory
Kaito is a mid/top fighter/assassin who uses a long katana and a flowing dance like style to attack, it is based off of flowing water. He is very similar to Yasuo and that is on purpose, i dont see anything wrong with using another champion as a model. While he is similar to Yasuo i feel he is his own champ and is different in his own way. He wears a battle kimono with armored shin and forearm guards. The kimono has a rain pattern on it and a raging sea. He has longish black hair which he keeps in a ponytail, it hangs down in back. He also carries a bamboo umbrella on his back which he uses in his recall and joke.
Kaito is a swordmen from Ionia, who trained at the same school as Yasuo and Yone. He trained under the same master but did not master the same style, he mastered a sister style to the wind techniques which is a water style, both focus on the flow though. Kaito now searches for Yasuo to hear his side of the story and is prepared to take action based on Yasuo's story.

Primary Role: Fighter
Secondary Role: Assassin
#Lore
Kaito grew up in Ionia and trained in a famous Ionian sword school, he was always very quiet and shy. During his training he befriended two brothers, Yasuo and Yone, he grew very close to Yone as they were of roughly the same skill, but he always looked up to Yasuo. Yasuo was a genius, a great natural born swordsmen and his affinity with the wind was rarely seen. Slowly though, Kaito started to notice he was falling behind in his techniques, even Yone was getting further and further ahead. As their friend he could never hate them or be jealous of them, instead he cursed his own weakness and started to fall into despair.
He trained everyday and all night for many years, barely sleeping or eating, until one day his body gave out while standing on a bamboo pole sticking out of water. He fell into the deep pool, too tired to swim out he began to drown, all was becoming dark and quiet and calm. In this calmness he unlocked a deep understanding of the water, how it moved, how it flowed, how it rippled. Using his sword he began to move the water around him, mimicking what he saw in the water, flowing it around him and began rising out of the water. His Master and elder pupils who came rushing over to help when they noticed him missing just stood in silence and in awe of his beautiful sword techniques. Kaito had become a water-style sword user, the first one in hundreds of years.
After a few more months of training he became a master along side his friend Yasuo, who he was now an equal match for. All was peaceful for awhile until the Noxian invasion and he was to fight or be killed. Kaito was in charge of defending the young pupils who could not fight for themselves yet, he fought non-stop slaying many Noxians before they finally retreated. His relief was short lived when he heard the news, Yasuo was charged with murder of an Ionian elder. Kaito went to plead for Yasuo's sake and instead found himself in the middle of a battle, Ionia vs Yasuo. He was extremely saddened by the news and the fact Yasuo went into hiding, leaviing him and Yone behind without knowing anything. Yone was convinced Yasuo had done it, Kaito was still unsure.
For many years, Kaito stayed out of the hunt for Yasuo believing in his friend and avoided any missions related to it, that is until Yasuo killed Yone. That was when Kaito decided it was time for answers and he knew he was the only one who could match Yasuo in skill. Kaito left Ionia in search of Yasuo that night taking only his sword, and swore he would find him and question him. He was fully prepared for what would happen next, if Yasuo said he was not guilty he would believe him and join him even if it meant turning against his homeland. On the other hand, if Yasuo were to admit his guilt Kaito would strike him down then and there, or die trying.

Kaito can teleport as many times as their are marked targets; the slashes do not count as basic attacks and will not crit or apply on-hit effects.
#Explanation
Kaito is not complicated, but ill give a bit of insight into is abilities here. Just note that all his damages and ratios can be every easily changed so please just focus on the abilities themselves and how they come together.
His Passive is pretty simple, basic attack buff and no unit collision. Its simple but does not mean its worthless, it is part of what makes his attacks flow.
His Q is a basic attack buff as well, and a AA reset. Its his main damage skill and his main poke when used in conjunction with his W, the water slash is similar to rivens ult but it doesnt do nearly as much damage.
His W is a small dash that will deal damage if it hits an enemy at the end of its dash. Mainly used as a gap closer and escape rather then for its damage.
The E might seem slightly out of place for him but i dont think so, he does a ton of damage already and does not need any more burst. It is one of his only forms of CC and it also allows him some safety when engaging. You can choose to shield yourself or to silence your enemy.
The R seems OP, well it probably is but it is freaking awesome...
#Builds
As he is a fighter first and an assassin second, it is best to build him as a fighter. This is only how I would build him, if you think of a different build for him please comment below, im super interested in what y'all can come up with :D.
#Item Build
Starting Items: 
- OR - 
Essential Items: 
Boots: 
- OR - 
- OR - 
Offensive Items: 
Defensive Items: 
Example Full Build:
Obviously the boots are situational, whether you are fighting heavy CC and AP or heavy AD or if you are ahead. The TriForce gives him a lot of very useful stats and none are really wasted on him, a must buy item. Infinity edge also is really good on him as it gives him much needed AD and crit damage. Rav Hydra works well on him i think as his Q can activate it for one and it gives life steal. Last Whisper is a great item for crushing squishies and dealing with tanks. Omen gives much needed health and armor plus an awesome slow which cant hurt. This is just one of my own personal builds for him there are plenty of different builds that i see working.
#Leveling Up
For most situations the level up sequence goes like this R>Q>W>E, although if you are fighting a poke champion it might not hurt to level up the E before the W.
#Skins
Rain Dragon Kaito - He would have a mask on with only eye holes and a rain drop shaped gem in the forehead, protruding from the mask would be 2 long dragon horns. His hair would be white, long and spiky hanging down his back. He would wear scaled armor on his chest with protrusions over the shoulders and a long scarf. His forearms and hands would be armored gloves in the shape of claws, the same on his feet and shins. His sword would be curved and serrated with a scaled handle.
Suijin Kaito - He would be slightly scaled like a fish with gills on his neck and small fins on his forearms and on top of his head. He would wear a coral crown with a big blue gem in it. His hair would be be loose and down his back. His chest would be bare and he would have robe-like pants with a sash that depicts the ocean. Behind his back 4 orbs of water would float there slightly behind his head. His sword would be made of sharpened bone and the handle would be coral.
So thats Kaito! Tell me what you think in the comments section, i can take criticism, and dont forget to leave an upvote :D Thanks for reading it.
