Biography
J was born to a Finnish father, S. Kiano, and Japanese mother, Miyako. He has a younger twin sister, Kyouka. As his father was a famous electronics maker, he was born into a large fortune. His family owns three homes, in fact; one in Kyoto, one in the Tokyo area, and a castle in Finland.
J acquired a celebrity status for his Battle Spirits skill, regularly appearing on the talk show, Battle Spirits TV. Of course, he had many fans, including Bashin Toppa. Though J was bothered by Bashin at first, he allowed Bashin the oppurtunity to battle, to test him as a fellow chosen card battler. Though J easily won, and criticized Bashin afterwards, he later watched another match, between Bashin and Card Sensei. It was then when he decided Bashin was a suitable rival.
Despite his fame, J had a difficult relationship with his parents. His mother was unhappy that he devoted all his time to Battle Spirits, believing he was cutting himself off from other people. She changed her mind thanks to Kyouka, who showed her how J and Bashin had become friends. As for his father, however, it wasn't so simple. J realized that he was a member of Thousand Spirits Group, and organization J hated. When his father refused to quit, they constantly fought over it. Wanting his father's acknowledgement, J decides to join himself, calling himself Jack Knight.
As a member of Thousand Spirits Group, J denied that he has any family or friends. He tried not to associate with anyone other than his tag battle partner, Smile, and his father remained angry with him. During a team tournament, On orders from King Uchuuchouten, J's father changed the tag battle pairings, putting himself and J together. Though they win their matches that way, making it up to the final round, J refused to participate anymore. However, he finally battled Bashin in a special extra round. Bashin was able to reach him, and so he returned to Bashin's side, qutting Thousand Spirits Group. He learned after the battle that his father quit as well, and he promises to spend more time with J.
Soon after, J and the other chosen card battlers are invited to participate in the King Uchuuchoten Cup. Bashin and J are set to battle together in a tag. The tournament is actually a trap to acquire their stones, and the opponents are a mostly-brainwashed Numbers Elite. As their teammates are eliminated in the tournament, they're captured, leaving only Bashin and J remaining. Bashin feels guilty, but J inspires him to keep continuing.
Bashin and J face Smile (Number Four) and Seven in their match. They're able to win, and the two split up afterwards. J goes to the control room, but is intercepted by some of Number Nine's followers, who want to brainwash him as well, to rejoin Numbers Elite. He's rescued by the mysterious masked card battler, The Speed Star, and continues on. With help from Aibou, Bashin's mouse, he destroys Number Nine's system, ruining his plans. Afterwards, J watches Bashin's final matches. During the battle with Uchuuchouten, all of the stones are used as lives. When J's stone is lost, Okyou loses the ability to speak, and he can no longer access Isekai World.
In the epilogue, J decides to study abroad in America, at Elliott's Battle Spirits University. It appears that the stones have been restored. Bashin calls him up, and they have another Battle in Isekai World.

J uses a primarily white deck. During his time as Jack Knight, his key card was red.
