Kite (Japanese: A カイト) is a Japanese original video animation (OVA) written and directed by Yasuomi Umetsu. It debuted as two 35‑minute episodes on VHS, released on February 25 and October 25, 1998. Subsequent editions, including all three U.S. DVD releases, rearranged the material into a single feature‑length film. The narrative centers on Sawa, a young schoolgirl whose parents were brutally murdered, leaving her orphaned in her early teens. Under the guardianship of detectives Akai and Kanie, who are also investigating the crime, Sawa is drawn into a dark world of assassination. During a date with a celebrity, she witnesses the man's aggressive confrontation with an elderly woman who disapproves of their relationship. In the aftermath, Sawa kills the celebrity, while the woman, desperately searching for her glasses, succumbs to a fatal heart attack.
