[edit] Majin Buu's wrath
Enjoying a peaceful life on Kaiōshin-kai with his fellow Kaiōshins, East Kaiōshin was unaware until too late that he and the other Kaios had been targeted and marked for death by the ruthless wizard Bibidi, who was determined to wipe them out by unleashing his fearsome monster, Majin Buu, on them all.
After hearing that North, West and South Kaiōshin had been killed or absorbed by Majin Buu, East Kaiōshin and Dai Kaiōshin prepared to face off against the buffed-up monster (Buu had absorbed South Kaiōshin and transformed into what is known by fans as Buff Buu). While Buu was after East Kaiōshin, Dai Kaiōshin intervened, but was absorbed by Buu. But Buu turned into an obese, childlike monster, and to his relief, East Kaiōshin was spared by Buu, who's evil had been reduced thanks to Dai Kaioshin's good nature.
To avenge his friends, East Kaiōshin eventually caught Bibidi off guard and destroyed the evil wizard while Buu was locked up in a ball. East Kaiōshin then hid the ball deep under the surface of the planet Earth, fearing that he would be powerless to stop Majin Buu himself.
East Kaiōshin then returned to Planet Kaiōshin, aided by a new bodyguard, Kibito, to carry on with his life of peace.
[edit] The return of Buu
Several thousands of years later, East Kaiōshin and Kibito travelled to Earth to find the help of Earth's greatest heroes, Goku, Gohan and Vegeta, for he had learned that Bibidi's son Babidi was planning to release Majin Buu once again. East Kaiōshin eventually entered Babidi's ship along with the three Saiyans, but was transported back to the Earth grounds when Vegeta was Majined.
At the same time, Majin Buu was finally released once again, and East Kaiōshin was one of Majin Buu's first victims, along with Dabura (Babidi's right-hand man) and Gohan, although Dabura was killed and Gohan and East Kaiōshin were just left on the verge of death.
Fortunately, Kibito, found East Kaiōshin, healed him, and then the two healed Gohan, teleporting him to Planet Kaio, where they would have him unlock the Legendary Z Sword and use it to help him defeat Majin Buu for good.
During the training, Goku, whose time on Earth had ended (he was undead, due to a fight with Cell seven years earlier) arrived on Planet Kaio, and accidentally got the Z Sword broken after throwing a block of Kacheen (the hardest metal in the Universe, according to East Kaiōshin), which caused the release of a new East Kaiōshin, Rou Dai Kaiōshin, who claimed to be an ancestor of East Kaiōshin.
East Kaiōshin then witnessed Rou Dai Kaiōshin train Gohan personally, and even saw him reveal his special Potara Earring Fusion to Goku (Mystic Gohan was having problems with the transformed Majin Buu, and needed Goku's help), to whom he had given up his life. Out of curiosity, East Kaiōshin tried the Potara Earrings, and accidentally fused with Kibito and formed Kibitoshin (FUNimation's dub is inconsistent and alternates between calling this fusion Kibito Kai and Kibito Shin).
When Kid Buu prepared to blow up the Earth, Kibitoshin teleported to Earth and rescued Goku, Vegeta, Hercule and Dende just before the explosion and brought them to Planet Kaio. With Buu tracking the Saiyans to Planet Kaio, Kibitoshin, Rou Dai Kaiōshinn and Dende teleported to a faraway planet and watched the ensuing battle on a crystal ball.
After the evil half of Buu was vanquished, Kibitoshin, Rou Dai Kaiōshin and Dende teleported back to Planet Kaio and healed the warriors, including the good, fat Majin Buu who had reformed earlier on and been excluded from Kid Buu's body.
Kibitoshin teleported Goku, Vegeta, Hercule, Dende and Fat Buu to Earth, and bid them farewell, teleporting himself back to Planet Kaio, where he would now rest in peace.

[edit] Tsufurujin invasion
Ten years later, Kibitoshin would once again be forced into action while the Tsufurujin parasite, Bebi, was terrorizing the Earth and completely dominating the now-child Goku in battle. Knowing of a secret Saiyan Technique, Kibitoshin and Rou Dai Kaiōshin saved Goku at the last minute and brought him to Planet Kaio, where he would undergo a painful procedure in which he would regrow his Saiyan Tail via a giant pair of pliers.
Eventually, Goku's tail grew back, and he was able to use the secret technique by turning into a Golden Oozaru, which would turn into a Super Saiyan 4 once controlled. With Bebi no match whatsoever for a Super Saiyan 4, Goku would use this new power to destroy the Tsufurujin Parasite by blasting him into the core of the Sun.
Watching from Planet Kaio, Kibitoshin and Rou Dai Kaiōshin were two of the many people to celebrate Bebi's defeat, although Rou Dai Kaiōshin expressed his disgust at the use of the Dragon Balls once again, for he knew something about the mystical artifacts that Goku and his friends did not. This prediction, soon lead to the birth of the Shadow Dragons, born from the negative energy that was stored inside the Dragonballs, due to the overuseage of using the balls.
[edit] Shadow Dragon Saga
It was after when the "Evil Black Smoke Dragon Shenron", separated into the 7 other Shadow Dragons, and scattered across various corners of the Earth, that Kabito Kai and Rou Dai Kaiōshin, explained to Goku and the others, of how overusing the Dragonballs, lead to the birth of the 7 Shadow Dragons. Both Kabito Kai and Rou Dai Kaiōshin, merely watches as Goku defeats all the 7 Shadow Dragons, and restores the natural order of balance, back to the universe. As Goku leaves with Shenron, he comes to Kibitoshin and separates Supreme Kai from Kibito as a final goodbye present.
