Minecraft:Kai

Template:Infobox characterKai is one of the nine default skins Minecraft:players can use in Minecraft:Minecraft, and the eighth to be introduced. Introduced at Minecraft Live 2022, Kai is commonly seen in promotional material for releases such as Minecraft:The Garden Awakens and Minecraft:Marketplace Pass.

Appearance

Kai is typically depicted with wide arms, and warm skin. Their hair is blonde, tied together in a ponytail, with visible bangs close to their muted green eyes. Of particular note is their outfit, a black jacket with purple cuffs and highlights, on top of a black dress with a belt with a similar color scheme to Minecraft:crimson items. Instead of shoes, they wear rosewood sandals with white socks.

In the character creator, Kai has approximately five unique items.
