About
Kai-ro from the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue."Kai-ro is Green Lantern in the future DC Comics Animated Universe voiced by Lauren Tom, first appearing in the Batman Beyond two-part episode "The Call" (2000).[28] An eight-year-old child mature beyond his age, Kai-ro possesses the standard Green Lantern power ring and assists Terry McGinnis, the Batman of the future, in finding a supposed traitor within the ranks of the Justice League Unlimited.
Kairo later appears as a young adult in the 2005 Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue." Still a member of the future JLU, he defeats a group of supervillains with McGinnis's help and pleads with McGinnis to stay with the team despite the Batman's growing animosity and disillusion upon the discovery of his true origins.
A two-issue story in the Batman Beyond comic reveals that Kai-ro had been raised in a Buddhist monastery prior to receiving the ring. In this story he returns there to battle Black Light, a character with a black power-ring, somewhat similar to Sinestro. The story mentions that Kai-ro's ring had no yellow weakness.
Kai-ro seems to be named after Kairo, Green Lantern's alien sidekick in the 1967 Filmation animated series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.
