The live-action version of Kite is significantly toned-down, and is based on the 45 minute censored animé version (Rated 16+ by Animé Works), and not the uncut 18+ Kitty Media version.
Most of the characters are original to the live-action version, and don't appear in the animé.
While Oburi has blue hair in the animé, he has brown hair in the live-action version.
The character Karl Aker is based on Akai from the animé version of Kite (1998).
"Detective Prinsloo: You make friends fast, Aker. Karl Aker: They're easier to make than get rid of."
"Karl Aker: Looks like somebody used a landmine to clear the sinuses."
