Appearance
Kadowaki has brunette hair and hazel colored eyes. He wears the same uniform as Arata's although not as neatly. Kadowaki represents himself as a yankee. His features are more sharper compared to Arata Hinohara representing Kadowaki as more intense.

Later on in the series, Akachi took out one of Kadowaki's eyes, and replaced it with one of his. Akachi's "dead eye" is better than Kadowaki original, as it lets him see things more clearly.

Personality
Kadowaki is a complicated young man. He started off as a kind adolescent only interested in sports, where his favorite event was running track. However, his personality grows sour during middle school when his mother abandons him and his influential father begins adulterous affairs. All this chaos builds anger within Kadowaki and through his stubborn pride he refuses to accept the abandonment. He grows jealous of Hinohara who is well-liked for his personality and not through his family's financial affairs. Kadowaki begins bullying his best friend as a means to satisfy his own loneliness and bitterness. When the Aratas change worlds he suspects something is amiss. Kadowaki's mental condition grows increasingly worse as he fights with his father and upperclassmen on a regular basis. Finally, he snaps and attacks an upperclassman. While running from the older boys, the six shou sense his hatred for Hinohara and drag him over to Amawakari. Kadowaki grows more malicious when presented with the dark hayagami as his intent to defeat Hinohara is finally within reach.

History
His father is a wealthy businessman whose very influential in his business; unfortunately he begins to have affairs despite being married to Kadowaki's mother. Kadowaki began to turn into a cruel person as his father's actions caused the family to split. Much of Kadowaki's behavior is due to a lack of a positive father figure, his mother's abandonment added salt to an open wound.

Relationships

 * Arata Hinohara: Both boys were best friends until Kadowaki's personal life goes out of control causing him to lash out at his peers. Hinohara is more kind-hearted than Kadowaki, which the latter uses to his advantage as making Hinohara a puppet for his own amusement. Kadowaki has some vulnerable moments where he reveals that he wishes to be better than Hinohara who was liked based on his own attributes instead of financial prestige.
 * Miyabi: Harunawa's servant, but now Kadowaki's. Although Miyabi is not the brightest of characters, she is one of the few characters that keeps her skin intact after annoying Kadowaki. Although Kadowaki is self-interested, he begins to grow concern over Miyabi after she explains her family and health issues. Miyabi truly wishes to become Kadowaki's friend and listens to Kadowaki lament over past events. She offers advice which Kadowaki brushes aside, but it is obvious that he does listen to her ramblings. She may become a love interest in the future since it is shown that Kadowaki does show some concern for her well-being.
