He and Sepira are the only two remaining members and unable to provide the Tri-ni-set with their own powers. They decided to split the seven stones into set of Arcobaleno Pacifiers, Vongola Rings, and Mare Rings, giving two of them to human race and one kept by Sepira and her Famiglia. At one point, they part ways due to different opinions, while Sepira wanted to coexist with humans, Kawahira didn't. Since then, Kawahira, as Checker Face, continued his duty to monitor the entire Tri-ni-set and showing himself only to select the successors of Arcobaleno pacifiers. |

His gathering of the seven resulted in the gathered people becoming Arcobaleno and being cursed with their baby body. When he was first shown meeting with [[Reborn]], he was holding a [[Arcobaleno Pacifiers#Clear Pacifier|Clear Pacifier]], the pacifier of the [[Flame of Night]] that Bermuda von Veckenschtein held when [[Jager]] sealed the deal between [[Giotto]] and [[Cozarto Simon|Cozarto]] (the [[Vongola Famiglia|Vongola]] and [[Simon Famiglia|Simon]] Primo, respectively) for their descendants to not fight each other. |

He then revealed himself and asked if the Arcobaleno (sans Aria) if they wanted to solve the "Curse of the Rainbow". The Arcobaleno immediately answered with a "yes", except for Reborn.

As a result of gathering the Arcobaleno in his dream, all the Arcobaleno asked various people for a favor, which was to fight for them. Colonello requested CEDEF's head, [[Iemitsu Sawada]]'s help.
