Biography
Kai Chisaki (Japanese: 治ち崎さき廻かい, Hepburn: Chisaki Kai?) was a male human born in Japan during the time when the world saw the rise of Quirk users. Chisaki himself gained an ability that allowed him to break apart anything he touched or reform it. As a young boy, he was left without a family until he was taken in by the boss of the Shie Hassaikai Yakuza gang. The Boss was a father figure to Chisaki who came to be loyal to him for taking him into the gang. This time, however, proved to be a turbulent moment for criminal organisations due to the rise of Pro Heroes and particularly the symbol made by All Might. From a young age, he was noted to regularly get into fights with other people with this typically being the case when the honour of the Yakuza was being insulted.
To help circumvent their losses, Chisaki began to start trading in drugs though this was against the express wishes of his Boss. He was later asked by the Boss to help understand the nature of his granddaughter's Quirk after the girl was abandoned by her mother when her ability killed her father. Initially, it was believed that Eri's power was similar to Chisaki's but upon closer examination Kai believed it was far different. From her powers, he came upon a new strategy that he believed would save the Shie Hassaikai from fading away. This included harvesting Eri's blood to create a drug that destroyed Quirk's which they could sell to supervillains whilst selling the cure to heroes. As the drug was made from Eri, it meant that they would hold monopoly over its development thus restoring the organisation to its former glory. The Boss, however, was appalled at this and believed that Chisaki should not trade away his humanity and become a monster in the process. In desperation, Chisaki decided to forcibly enact his plans and used his powers to render the Boss unconscious with him being in a coma-like state. He then set himself as the new successor of the organisation in order to enact his strategy with the intention of restoring the Boss after he completed his goal. This saw him using Eri as part of his experiments in better understanding and exploiting her powers where he simply restored her after her body was too badly hurt from the work. To test its power, early versions of the drug were sent onto the black market so they could test its effectiveness. Eventually, Chisaki looked to absorb the power of the League of Villains into his organisation to increase its power.
With his defeat, he was arrested by the authorities and was being transported to a hospital that treated wounded villains. During the transport, the armoured prison car was attacked by the League of Villains who managed to remove the guards protecting Chisaki. Shigaraki then approached the captive Overhaul where he took the completed Quirk destroying drug and the cure. He then decided to take his revenge against Chisaki by using his own Quirk to destroy Overhaul's hands. This act thus preventing Chisaki from ever using his power ever again and he witnessed his plans pillaged by Shigaraki with him left screaming at his loss.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Kai Chisaki was a pale man with a narrow build along with short, shaggy auburn hair that was parted to the left. He went by the supervillain name of Overhaul (オーバーホール Ōbāhōru?) that was named after his Quirk.
Kai was shown to be germaphobic who hated anything he perceived as unsanitary where he frequently remarked about the unclean appearances of certain people and locations.
He came to strongly believe that Quirks were a plague on the world and people infected with 'Hero Syndrome' were responsible for ruining the Boss's life. It was this reason that led to him falling down a darker path in life and went about finding a way to eliminate Quirks from people. In fact, he became obsessed with returning the world to the way it was before the Quirk phenomenon.
It was shown that he did not value humans and saw them as pawns for their utilitarian value. Such was his cruelty that he had no issue with experimenting on Eri to the point that her body was badly damaged. He was shown to psychologically torment her as part of his method in controlling her. This led to him telling her that she was a cursed child and that she caused nothing but pain or death to those that helped her. Thus, he stated that it was only himself that was able to take care of Eri.
As the Shie Hassaikai leader, Kai was shown to be usually a level-headed person who thought strategically.
Powers and abilities
Kai Chisaki was a human born with a Quirk (個こ性せい Kosei?, lit. "Individuality") that gave him a superhuman ability. As a Quirk bearer, Chisaki was an Emitter type with his ability being called Overhaul (オーバーホール Ōbāhōru?). It granted him the power to disassemble anything he touched and reassembled it in any configuration he desired effectively giving him full control over matter. Such was his power that he even gained the attention of All For One who was the premiere supervillain in Japan.
With this power, he could kill a person instantly with a single touch and reform them.
Chisaki could also apply this power to himself as he was able to reform his own body to repair any injuries to himself. This made him dangerous in a long drawn out confrontation as his foe could suffer from injuries whilst Kai could simply restore his damaged body.
He could also use this power to rip apart a person and merge their body with his own in a process that would kill the other individual. With this, Overhaul could add body parts to his own and even add other Quirks to himself.
As a child, he came to join the ranks of the Yakuza group known as the Shie Hassaikai (死し穢え八はっ斎さい會かい Shie Hassaikai?, literally meaning the "Eight Precepts of Death"). It was originally led by the Boss until he fell in a coma with Overhaul taking over the organization.
