Personality: Kanda is a cold, stoic, and arrogant person who shows little regard to the lives of those around him, even his fellow Exorcists. He is, more often than not, willing to leave those who slow him down behind, even if it means their death and especially if they are not Exorcists, viewing any field officers (especially Finders) who are not Exorcists expendable pawns who should not be expected to be saved. He is even often seen turning his blade on his own comrades over small things, such as Lavi calling him by his given name, Yu, or Allen simply trying to talk to him. Despite his words, Kanda is frequently seen saving those around him, and even putting his own life at risk, though he does it grudgingly and openly complains

Powers:
Artificial Regeneration: Kanda can recover much faster than ordinary humans and is able to withstand the blood of Akuma due to a secret skill created by the Chan family. He is seen being able to rebirth after death, regenerate lost limbs, and even survive a crushed skull. His blood is also enriched with healing power.
___________________________________
Restrictions: Regeneration: This ability has actually begun to slow down over the course of Kanda's life. The more he uses it, the slower the regeneration process becomes. It will eventually stop working altogether.
All Kanda's following techniques require Mugen to be activated.
____________________________
Special Techniques:
Mugen (六幻 (ムゲン),
Rokugen (Six Illusions). Kanda has a sword with supernatural powers. He runs his index and middle finger along the back of the blade to activate it, whilst saying
Mugen Unsheathe, Innocence Activate, which turns the blade silver.
First Illusion: Netherworld Insects (界蟲「一幻」,
Kaichū: Ichigen): Kanda swings his sword and releases a small swarm of supernatural creatures that devour his opponents.
Double Illusion Sword (二幻刀,
Nigentou): Kanda covers his sword and scabbard in a coat of energy and generates an energy blade, creating two impossibly sharp weapons. The second blade that he creates over his scabbard can also be just a pure energy blade if the scabbard is not used.
Eight Flower Mantis (八花蟷螂,
Hakka Tourou): Using Nigentou, Kanda quickly slashes the enemy eight times. The slashes collectively resemble a flower.
Ascending Flower (昇華,
Shouka lit. Sublimate): Kanda activates the power of his tattoo, and his pupils change into three dots. Veins also rise around his eyes. Once it is activated, Kanda can activate
Triple Illusion.
Forbidden Spell: Triple Illusion (禁忌 「三幻式」,
Sangenshiki): Kanda drastically increases his speed and strength at the cost of some of his life. Because
Triple Illusion feeds directly off of a being's 'life force,' Kanda can reallign and reforge Mugen's blade if it is broken as long as he has life to spare, using the command "
Drink up".
Exploding Spirit Cut (爆魄斬,
Bakuhakuzan): Kanda needs Sangenshiki to be active to use this, and makes a slash that seems to create small explosions and is strong enough to cut through a Level 4 Akuma.
_____________________________
Super Techniques:
Fourth Illusion Style (四幻式,
Yongenshiki): Kanda's pupils changes to four dots and he gains another drastic increase in speed and power as shown by being able to severely damage Alma Karma.
Fifth Illusion Style (五幻式,
Gogenshiki): Mugen's blade changes color and emits a large amount of dark, lightning-like energy. Like the
Triple Illusion, it uses up Kanda's life force, though on a larger scale. Forcing the Fifth Illusion causes excessive strain on Kanda's body and soul, eating away at his life force quicker than any of the previous Illusionary Styles. It also causes him to enter a berserker-like state, and causes his hair to pale to a light purple.
Ripping Flash Claw (五幻・裂閃爪,
Gogen Ressensou): Kanda unleashes seven sharp energy beams.

History: Kanda was originally an Accommodator and Exorcist of the Black Order, but he was killed by an Akuma about thirty years before the start of the story. There was also a woman in his previous life whom he loved, a fellow Exorcist who died alongside him.
After their deaths, the bodies of Kanda and his lover were taken to Asian Branch, where their brains were harvested and implanted into new bodies as part of the Second Exorcist Program. About twenty years later, Kanda awoke in the Sixth Laboratory of the Asian Branch to his fellow Second Exorcist, Alma Karma, hovering over his birthing pit. Alma helped Kanda out of the hole and alerted Edgar Chang Martin to Kanda's awakening so Kanda could get medical attention and dry clothes.
Despite the amiable first meeting, Kanda quickly became violent towards those around him, his relationship with Alma especially volatile, Kanda finding Alma's attempts to befriend him creepy. Having been artificially created and not knowing of the reasoning behind his odd birth, Kanda did not think of himself as human, showing child-like confusion and curiosity when Edgar explained the idea behind childbirth to him. At the same time, Kanda began experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations of a woman who, in context, expressed sharing a close relationship with him, though when Kanda turned to face her, she had disappeared, Alma remaining in her place.
During synchronization testing, Kanda was repeatedly severely injured, able to survive only thanks to the regenerative seal on his chest. It was because of this repeated, painful testing that Kanda began to hate Innocence.
Later that night, after recovering, Kanda made his way to the Second Exorcist birthing room, where he saw the woman again, and while trying to reach for her he fell into one of the birthing holes and was quickly fished out by Alma. When Alma mentioned also seeing a woman, Kanda asked him about it, only to quickly realize that he and Alma weren't talking about the same woman. When Alma asked him if he had been crying and started to tease him, he and Alma got into another fight which ended in both of them bleeding severely and collapsing, their bodies still weak from their previous injuries. He and Alma then started laughing.
Six months later, after his and Alma's relationship had improved, Kanda's hallucinations reached a point where it started to cause him both physical and mental pain. When the decision was made to euthanize Kanda, Alma took him and tried to escape with him.After their escape was intercepted by several CROW, Alma kicked Kanda over a cliff and into a nearby canal, telling Kanda to run, much to Kanda's indignation.
A ways down the canal but still in the Asian Branch, Kanda crawled out of the water near Noise Marie and Bak Chang, asking for their help but not letting Bak go for medical assistance. When Marie held him to take the CROW spell needle out of his back, Kanda realized he recognized Marie's scent just before he passed out.
Almost immediately after, Kanda was taken into custody by the CROW, and when he finally regained consciousness, he was in the middle of a large sorcery array, being attended to by Twi Chang, Renny Epstain and Saarinzu Epstain. Realizing what had really happened to him, Kanda began laughing insanely and demanding to know how he (his
original body) had died and how many years it had been. Without answering his questions, Saarinzu activated a spell that sent a massive electrical surge through Kanda's body that shorted out his ability to regenerate shortly after, killing him.
Not long after, Kanda's body revived and he synchronized with the Innocence of his original form, Mugen, his memories of the woman keeping him from dying. Using Mugen, Kanda escaped his confines and made his way back to the Sixth Laboratory, where he found Marie, who had been injured and was slated to become a Second Exorcist, himself. After some of his blood accidentally fell in Marie's wound and healed him, Kanda took Marie with him, Marie's words of thanks reminding him of Alma and giving Kanda the resolve to escape the Order with Alma.
When Kanda found Alma, though, Alma, who had also synchronized with his Innocence, had slaughtered the staff of the Sixth Laboratory and had made the decision to kill Kanda, as well. As Kanda and Alma fought, Kanda realized that Alma has recovered his memories, as well, and when Alma tried to kill Kanda so he could kill himself and they could die together, Kanda made the decision to live and fought back against Alma, hacking him to pieces until he couldn't regenerate and believing he had killed him.
Kanda would later become Froi Tiedoll's pupil, and Tiedoll would give Kanda, who had only been known as "Yu" until that point, the surname "Kanda", which Kanda would come to prefer to be known by.
After a year of traveling with General Tiedoll, Kanda joined the European Branch and became a full fledged exorcist for the Order. There he met Lavi Bookman Jr. and some time later, Allen Walker who he had assumed to be an Akuma upon first meeting him. Even after finding out Allen was actually an exorcist as well, Kanda still treated Allen coldly as he did with everyone and often got angry and blamed Allen for things.
During the fight in Japan with the Earl and his Noah, Kanda fought alone against the Noah Skin Bolic who managed to destroy Mugen and nearly killed Kanda. Kanda was forced into using most of his illusions to the point where it nearly killed him just by using them. When the battle was over, Kanda was sure he would die as the room they were inside was fading as the Ark was being destroyed. If it hadn't been for Allen and the awakening of the Noah inside of him, the room would have been destroyed along with Kanda. Kanda was and still is the only exorcist to have ever beaten and killed a Noah.
A while later, after the European Branch was destroyed by the Noah, Kanda faced another Noah named Wisely who had spirited the Exorcist away to the North American Branch. Once there, Kanda discovered, to his surprise and disbelief, that Alma Karma was actually being kept alive even though Kanda had killed him years ago as a child. It was because of Alma's tissue that the Order could create what they called The Third Exorcists. These Exorcists existed with parts of Akuma DNA which was nulled by Alma's DNA. The Noah's however, who have control over Akuma, awakened the Akuma side of the Third Exorcists and forced them to fight which lead to the revival of Alma as well. With the help of Allen, Kanda overcame his anger and fought and once again destroyed Alma after discovering Alma was the reincarnated form of the woman Kanda's previous life had loved. Allen, opening a portal via the Ark, lead Alma and Kanda to a secluded place where the two could die together in peace.
But to everyone's surprise, Kanda returned to the Order to obtain Mugen once more which had evolved into a Crystal Type; reverting back to its Innocence form and melting which he then drank to merge with his body. Kanda now has cross shaped scars on the inside of his arms from the Innocence.
When Allen ran away to protect everyone from himself, Kanda took it upon himself to track him down, wanting to repay a debt he felt he owed to Allen.
Kanda's favorite foods are soba and tempura, and he likes pumpkin, sweet pepper and lotus root tempura.
