Due to the various versions of this title released in their North American market, I have divided this report up to cover each release in several ways. Since Kite is an adult title, some language used in these reports may not be suitable for all readers.

Adult release (fully uncut) of Kite from Kitty Media

The "Kite: Special Edition (UNCUT)" is completely uncut as far as we can determine. The openings, ending credits, and previously edited video have been restored.

While it appears some of the dialog has been changed to make it seem like the older Sawa is going to college (other versions of Kite from Mida Blasters had various mentions, including one where she was studying to get into college), the disk is uncut otherwise.

Here is the cover of the uncut version:
