Kaidou

Kaido (カイドウ) is one of the Yonkou, and the third to be mentioned by name. Kaido's name is revealed just after the defeat of his former rival Gekko Moriah.

Personality
Not much is known about Kaido's personality at the moment, but he appears to be a ruthless warrior, slaying Gekko Moriah's entire crew twelve years ago and planning to attack Whitebeard during the latter's attempt to save Portgas D. Ace from execution.

Abilities and Powers
As one of the Yonkou, Kaido is one of the strongest pirates in the world. He attempted to take Whitebeard's life, which is something that few would dare, and managed to clash with Shanks. He also once fought against Gekko Moriah of the Shichibukai, and emerged victorious. Being a Yonkou in and of itself is a testament to his power.

Similar to Edward Newgate, Kaido also seems to have many underlings and allied pirates, and seems to proclaim islands as his own territories.

History
At one point in his life, he fought with Gekko Moriah and defeated him in the New World. Though the details of the fight have yet to be fully explained, it is implied that he is responsible for the deaths of Moriah's original crew.

When Whitebeard attempted to save Ace from his execution at Marineford, Kaido tried attacking him. However, Red Hair Shanks intercepted Kaido before he could reach Whitebeard, and Kaido either retreated or was defeated, as Shanks managed to arrive at Marineford at the end of the war.

After the battle, X. Drake arrived at an unknown winter island that happened to be a favorite of Kaido's. When he asked a cyborg henchman guarding the island if attacking him would get Kaido's attention, he was told yes. Upon hearing this, the Supernova uses his Devil Fruit to transform into a dinosaur and began to attack. Whether his purpose of doing so was to take over the island, or (as is strongly implied) attract the attention of the Yonkou is not yet clear.

Major Battles

 * Kaido vs. Gekko Moriah's first crew (past battle, unseen)
 * Kaido and his crew vs. Red Hair Pirates (unsure)

Trivia

 * Judging by the fact that the other three Yonkou are commonly referred to by their epithets (Red-Hair, Whitebeard, and Big Mam), it is very possible that "Kaido" is just a nickname as well.
