Kite, also known as A Kite, is a popular but controversial Japanese anime OVA written and directed by Yasuomi Umetsu. The original Japanese version ran for two 30 minute episodes, however subsequent releases, including the first two releases in the United States, have edited the OVA into one hour-long "movie".

Kite revolves around a schoolgirl named Sawa who was orphaned in her early teens. Subsequently raised by two men, of which one begins a sexual relationship with her, she begins life anew as a highly trained assassin. Eventually meeting another assassin of similar age, a bond quickly forms between the two and soon Sawa finds herself gaining the strength to escape from her guardians and set out on her own. Kite can be likened to a much darker and more exploitative version of the film Nikita
.

Kite is controversial in its depiction of gory violence and explicit sex and nudity, including pornographic scenes involving a young teenage Sawa. Consequently the OVA has been released three times in the United States, each with less censorship than the last (with the most recent release being reputedly uncensored).
