'''Kilahito''' is a major city in [[Nagadan]], the largest nation on [[Komashi]].{{book ref|yumi|11}}{{book ref|yumi|31}} [[Yumi]] was [[Connection|Connected]] to a [[Nikaro|painter]] from Kilahito by a [[hijo|spirit]], which enabled her to free herself from and destroy the [[father machine]]. It is also the site of the [[battle of Kilahito]].{{book ref|yumi|40}}

== Geography ==
Kilahito is located not far from the ruins of [[Torio City]], and it is of a comparable size.{{book ref|yumi|32}} It is also only five miles from Yumi's prison, during her time of captivity.{{book ref|yumi|34}} The city is laid out in a circular configuration,{{book ref|yumi|1}} that is sometimes broken into different wedges and rings,{{book ref|yumi|7}}{{book ref|yumi|3}} crossed with asphalt streets{{book ref|yumi|15}} wide enough for vehicles.{{book ref|yumi|14}} Warehouse structures with white faces and no outward-facing windows circle the perimeter of the city, just inside of a perimeter road.{{book ref|yumi|1}} The city is likely built around a [[hion]] stub,{{book ref|yumi|24}} and it is adjacent to a lake, which serves as the city's primary water supply..{{book ref|yumi|14}}

While the machine is active, the [[shroud]] encircles the city like a dome, though following the battle of Kilahito the shroud dissipates.{{book ref|yumi|41}} Due to fear of [[nightmare]]s during that period, poorer sections of the town are located closer to the perimeter.{{book ref|yumi|5}} A pleasure district, as well as the narrow Rabble Way--a "low-end" merchant district, are located near the perimeter, and tend to be more active at night than the rest of the city.{{book ref|yumi|1}}{{book ref|yumi|3}} Due to the unending darkness of the shroud, "night time" is a matter of convention that the city generally follows.{{book ref|yumi|1}} Other than the nightmares during this period of the city's history, the town is considered to be quite safe.{{book ref|yumi|1}}

:The [[Nightmare Division]] has a headquarters located in the city where [[painter]]s report in after duty. The foreman, [[Sukishi]], has an office there.{{book ref|yumi|14}}

;Carnival
:Kilahito's carnival, locally referred to by a term translated as "place of a million lights", opens on festivals, rest days, and for other celebratory events. The carnival includes food sales, games, entertainers, and rides, such as the [[Jotun Line]].{{book ref|yumi|28}}

== History ==
An army of hundreds of stable nightmares were sent to attack Kilahito, to destroy Nikaro's knowledge about the machine. Nikaro and his companions organized a resistance among many of the city's painters, who fought the creatures at the [[battle of Kilahito]]--preventing the nightmares from destroying the city. After the assault, the machine was destroyed and the shroud vanished, revealing the sun to the residents of Komashi.{{book ref|yumi|41}}

== Culture ==
Crime rates in Kilahito are low, making it a relatively safe city, due in no small part to the nocturnal threat of nightmares.{{book ref|yumi|1}}

While they greatly value the role that painters fill in society, they do not often discuss things such as salary increases, leading to painters earning very little money for the sort of work they do.{{book ref|yumi|1}}

The people enjoy watching [[hion viewer]] programs for entertainment.{{book ref|yumi|11}}
