Njalm is the best person to go to when it comes to Kido. But I can still offer some insights that might help a little, based on my reasons why Seireitou pursued Hakuda.

Seireitou's Zanpakuto, Hanullim, is very much like Seireitou himself. A total... ass. But this goes into such degrees that it is malicious. He's almost like an inner Hollow, trying to seize control of Seireitou. That's how it was originally. And Seireitou realized using his Zanpakuto led him closer and closer to the point of no return, where he'd have no control over himself. And so, Seireitou decided that he needed to develop control of himself, learn how to wield his own abilities without relying on this malicious sword. This is what caused him to start delving into the secrets of Hakuda. Of course, Seireitou and Hanullim's relationship changes throughout the centuries, but the above is what led to Seireitou becoming the current undisputed Grandmaster of Hakuda.

So, the first point I want to make is that, you want Gekkou to be intimate with Kido. And yes, because of their similarities and such, as you mentioned. But you need Gekkou to have a purpose behind why. What is it about Kido that is so attractive to Gekkou? Kido isn't the only abused art form, all art forms can be abused and have been abused by people throughout history, so what makes Kido so special to Gekkou specifically?

Secondly, as I said, Njalm will have far more to say about this stuff than I do, but I can still offer you this. In my belief, being the Grandmaster of any craft means to revolutionize the craft. The key of a Master, a true Master, is as their title infers: they acquire mastery over the craft they have studied. But a Grandmaster goes even further. In their hands, the craft is no longer that craft. It belongs to them. No longer is Hakuda under Seireitou just Hakuda, but it is HIS Hakuda. Therefore, for Gekkou to become a Grandmaster of Kido, his craft must become HIS Kido.
