Kaidou

Kaido (カイドウ) is one of the Yonko, and the third to be mentioned by name. Kaido's name is revealed just after the Straw Hats defeat Gekko Moriah. (Kaido is mentioned in the anime by Moria shortly after having obtained Luffy's shadow.)

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 clashed with Shanks. He also once fought against Gekko Moriah of the Shichibukai, and emerged victorious. Being a Yonko in and of itself is a testament to his power. It was also stated by the Gorosei that he is one of the few people capable of killing Teach.

Similar to Whitebeard, Kaido also seems to have many underlings and allied pirates, and is able to claim islands as his own territories.

Past
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 death of Moriah's original crew.

Whitebeard War
When Whitebeard attempted to save Ace from his execution at Marineford, Kaido tried to attack 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.

Post-Whitebeard War
After the war, X Drake arrived at an unnamed 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 attract the attention of the Yonko is not yet clear.
