Kai is one of the nine default skins players can use in Minecraft, and the eighth to be introduced. Introduced at Minecraft Live 2022, Kai is commonly seen in promotional material for releases such as The Garden Awakens and Marketplace Pass.
Appearance
Kai is typically depicted with wide arms, and warm skin. Their hair is blonde, tied together in a ponytail, with visible bangs close to their muted green eyes. Of particular note is their outfit, a black jacket with purple cuffs and highlights, on top of a black dress with a belt with a similar color scheme to crimson items. Instead of shoes, they wear rosewood sandals with white socks.
In the character creator, Kai has approximately five unique items.
