Redakai: Conquer the Kairu, also known simply as Redakai, is a Canadian/French animated series that premiered on YTV in Canada on July 9, 2011, on Cartoon Network in the United States on July 16, 2011 and on Canal J and Gulli in France on October 22, 2011. The series was created by Vincent Chalvon Demersay and David Michel and was co-produced by Canada's Spin Master Entertainment and France's Marathon Media in association with Canal J and Gulli. There hasn't been any word from YTV or Cartoon Network about when or if the second season is going to air. The concept and animation style is similar to that of both Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery, other series created by the same production company.
The series revolves around Ky, a 15-year-old student of ancient martial arts, who embarks on an epic quest to find the Kairu, a primordial alien energy source. Aided by his friends Maya and Boomer, Ky travels the world searching for the Kairu while attempting to make sure that his extraterrestrial teenage alien adversaries don’t find it first.
Ky fiercely believes his father survived the Great Cataclysm and is determined to discover the truth behind Connor's disappearance. Like many 15-year-olds, Ky is impulsive and fearless, and though his rebellious nature sometimes conflicts with his Kairu training, his honor and dedication to the rules of Kairu almost always triumph over his teenage instincts. Ky is a determined and loyal warrior and shows all the potential of someday becoming a great and powerful Redakai. He is voiced by Austin Di Iulio.
Ky's signature monster is the Plasma powered Metanoid and its Plasma-Energy Blast and Plasma Swords attacks with the Seismic powered Fractus and its Magma Minions and Boulder Toss attacks rounding out his go-to combo.
When she was a baby, Master Boddai picked Maya up after being left at his door, and she regards as her origins remain a mystery, and longs to understand her past. However, in the Season 1 Finale, she discovers that the blue markings on her face are symbols of extreme power or evil. Also, Lokar has these same markings on his arms; and Maya realizes that Lokar is her grandfather. She is voiced by Jasmine Richards.
