Kino, the simple minded companion to Chief [[Ayla]] of [[Ioka]], has mysterious origins. Found on [[Mystic Mountain]] as a baby, it would seem appealing to name him a child out of his natural time. However, Kino "walks like a duck" according to [[Lucca]], and his speech and mannerisms confirm him to be a bona fide resident of the prehistoric times. In his first encounter with the party, he became intensely jealous of Ayla's attention to [[Crono]], and was internally driven to swipe Lucca's [[Gate Key]] while the party rested. As it would turn out, he too was assaulted and mugged by the [[Reptite]]s, and was left to receive a punch as punishment from Ayla. She soon explained that irrespective of the heroes' arrival, she still liked Kino best of all, and instructed him to act as Chief in her absence. He apologized to Crono afterwards as well.
