His first novel, Kid B (2006), is set in the world of Texas hip-hop and was influenced by S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders. The book is narrated in the first-person by the title character "Kid B" whose birth name is Breslin Kirwin. By following two conflicting groups of teen boys, the themes explored by Dalecki are similar to those in The Outsiders (1967), such as brotherly love (or hate as the case may be), friendship, and coming-of-age. But unlike The Outsiders, in the milieu of Kid B the groups are from similar socio-economic backgrounds (the working class) and though there is some gang activity most of the conflict revolves around breakdance competition and other aspects of hip hop.

Kotaro mentions the Oni Brothers being behind the distortions in their world, just as three Tarōs disappear with Momotaros, finding themselves in 1930, where they hid by possessing the original Arms Monsters of Kamen Rider Kiva and became rice thieves.
