Past
Kado was born on December 12, 1953 in New Delhi, India. Kado was living in India and was married, having three children. He had become wealthy by opening a chain of curry restaurants, with the success leading him to achieve the status of a Maharajah. He eventually succumbed to his greed. Senju speculates that the hard work he put into achieving his status made him susceptible to avarice and as a result, became possessed by Mara. His family could no longer stand his strange behavior and ultimately left him. Being heartbroken, Kado fell into depression, and constantly threw parties and wedding ceremonies, all while drinking, as a way to forget the sadness of losing his family.

In 1976, Kado offered money and lodging to Sati and her companions in exchange for Sati's hand in marriage. When Sati learned of Kado's story, she decided to change him into a better person and managed to free him from Mara's possession. Letting go of his grief, Kado decided to sell off his restaurants and everything else, and accompanied Sati on her journeys as gratitude for helping him.

Shaman Fights Second Round
When Sati Saigan wanted the Five Elemental Warriors to train in Hell, Team "Myooh" ambushed Team "The Ren" in the bath and sent them to Hell Afterwards, they stood watch over the bodies in order to ensure that they could be revived. Anticipating Team "Hana-Gumi"'s attack, Team "Myooh" had Tao Jun revive Team "The Ren" early, and the boys easily forced the girls back. When Brocken Meyer called for Team "Hana-Gumi" to retreat, Ren wanted to pursue them, but Jun and Kado convinced him not to do so.

Invading the Plants
While Asakura Yoh and his friends invaded the Plants, Kado, alongside the rest of Team "Myooh" and Lady Sati, traveled to hell in order to obtain the remaining four of the Five Grand Elemental Spirits. There Kado fought against Mephistopheles, the guardian of the Spirit of Wind. Despite losing an arm, Kado succeeded in defeating the King of Hell and retrieved the Elemental Spirit, which was later delivered to Chocolove McDonell.

After Hao became Shaman King, Kado and the rest of Gandhara boarded the train which traveled to the highest level in order to support the Five Elemental Warriors.

Anime/Manga Difference
Like many of the Gandhara members, Kado does not appear in the 2001 anime series.
