Kirito (Kazuto Kirigaya) Sword Art Online - Nendoroid
Sword Art Online is a series of light novels by Reki Kawahara that was first adapted into an anime series by A-1 Pictures in 2012. As time went on and more content for the series was released, manufacturers continued to make more and more merchandise based on some of the fans' favorite characters. One such manufacturer would be Good Smile Company, which is known for its Nendoroid line of small, chibi-style figures. While Good Smile Company has created several different Nendoroids for Sword Art Online characters, the protagonist of the series, Kirito (Kazuto Kirigaya), certainly has the most. Some of the most notable releases of Kirito Nendoroids include the "Nendoroid Sword Art Online Kirito (Re-release)", the "Nendoroid Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale Kirito", and the "Nendoroid Sword Art Online: Alicization Kirito: Elite Swordsman Ver."

About Kazuto Kirigaya (Kirito)
Kazuto Kirigaya is the protagonist of the main Sword Art Online series and maybe more widely known by his character name, Kirito.
About Kazuto Kirigaya (Kirito): Background
Kazuto Kirigaya is a young man who was born as Kazuto Narusaka before he was adopted by his aunt when he was a boy. From a young age, Kazuto was told to practice Kendo at the family's dojo, though he would quickly drop this practice because of his fascination with technology. Due to his experience as a beta tester for Sword Art Online, Kirito had extensive knowledge about the game and was quite proud of his skills. That said, he is also quite kind and willing to help others, despite wanting to take on challenges solo most of the time.
About Kazuto Kirigaya (Kirito): Abilities
In terms of skill mastery in the original Sword Art Online game, he mastered nearly all combat-related skills like One Handed Sword, Parry, Battle Healing, and so on. Furthermore, he also mastered stealth skills like Searching and Hiding. In addition, Kirito's unique skill, Dual Blades, allows him to be the only player to wield two swords at once. Kirito also has access to a wide variety of Sword Skills, with the most notable being Starburst Stream, a 16-hit Dual Blade Sword Skill.
Other Important Sword Art Online Characters
When it comes to Kirito, there are no characters who are more important to him than his girlfriend, Asuna Yuuki, and his childhood friend from Project Alicization, Eugeo.
Asuna Yuuki
Asuna Yuuki is a young woman who first appeared in the Aincrad arc of Sword Art Online. Although she is often selfless and kind, Asuna can be quite proud and stubborn, causing her to butt heads with Kirito from time to time. Her speed and skill with her rapier earned her a spot as a sub-leader of the prestigious Knights of the Blood guild, as the nickname, "The Flash". Outside of combat, however, she also mastered other skills like cooking, which Asuna and Kirito used to create incredibly delicious dishes with extraordinarily rare ingredients.
Eugeo
Eugeo is a character who was introduced in the Project Alicization arc as Kirito's childhood friend. When the two were growing up, the duo was given the quest of cutting down the Gigas Cedar, a seemingly impossible task that had been handed down by the village for many generations. After Kirito returns to the Underworld with his memories and knowledge of skills, he teaches Eugeo how to use his Aincrad-style of swordsmanship and the two succeed in cutting down the massive tree.
