Background[]
Before Kai became apprenticed to Sensei Wu as a ninja, he and his sister Nya worked in their family blacksmith shop, Four Weapons, which had previously been owned by their father.
Once, when Kai and his sister, Nya were working the Four Weapons blacksmith shop, they were approached by Sensei Wu, who showed disdain for the weapons they made, claiming that they would be useless in the art of stealth. He also said that they were fit weapons for a samurai, but useless for a ninja. Kai drove him off, but he then disappeared when Kai turned his back. Moments later, a dark cloud appeared over the village, which local farmers were the first to notice. On the edge of a hill, a large vehicle (the Skull Truck) appeared along with many motorcycles, all with skullkin aboard them, notably General Nuckal, Kruncha, and Samukai. The farmers attempted to attack the skullkins, only to run away at the last second. Then, Kai, wearing hand-crafted samurai armour, helmet, and sword, engaged the skullkin in battle, with Nya joining in. Kai was nearly killed by Samukai, only to be saved by Sensei Wu, who reappeared just in time. He was not able to save Nya, who was kidnapped under the orders of Lord Garmadon. Sensei then told Kai the history of Ninjago
After telling Kai the story, Sensei told Kai that his father had a map made by Wu, showing the locations of the hidden Golden Weapons, and also that Garmadon had struck a deal with Samukai, and that Wu was Garmadon's younger brother. Kai at first refused to get involved, until realizing he wouldn't stand a chance against the skullkin on his own. He then trained in Wu's monastery, and, after completing his training, awaited a final test, but is told he had already learned spinjitzu. Later that night, Kai was ambushed by three ninjas, and the ensuing battle causes him to be thrown out onto the training grounds. Kai activated the training course and the obstacles disarmed his attackers. Moments later, Sensei Wu stops the fight, revealing that the three are his other students. Sensei then uses spinjitzu to transform their black costumes into outfits corresponding with their element. The four are introduced to each other: Cole, the black ninja of earth; Jay, the blue ninja of lightning; Zane, the white ninja of ice and a seer with sixth sense; and Kai, the red ninja of fire. Introductions were cut short as Wu announced the search for the golden weapons had now begun.

Trivia[]
- In the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu television series, Kai is voiced by Vincent Tong. He does not reprise his role in the game.
- Tong has commented on a video on YouTube that he wasn't contacted to reprise Kai for the game to begin with, due to the fact the series itself is recorded in the Canadian city of Vancouver while the recordings for LEGO Dimensions took place primarily in Los Angeles.
- Along with Scooby-Doo, Kai is the second Team Pack character to have a line when riding K-9.
- His quote when seeing Peter Venkman about ghosts is a reference to Season 5 of Ninjago, where he and the other ninja have battled ghosts.
- In LEGO Dimensions, Kai wears his "jungle robes" outfit used for most of the fourth Masters of Spinjitzu season, Tournament of Elements. However, Kai uses his Golden Weapon the Sword of Fire, which was destroyed at the time this outfit was used in the show.
- His toy tag is based on his suit, while his Ninja symbol is its main symbol.
- Kai is the only character with the Melt Ice ability that does not also have the Laser ability.
- Strangely, Kai is the only character not to have his spotlight video on the LEGO Dimensions YouTube channel.
