A character code (one of 'biufcmMOSUV'), default 'O'
This should match the NumPy dtype used when the array is
converted to an ndarray, which is probably 'O' for object if
the extension type cannot be represented as a built-in NumPy
type.

numpy.dtype.kind
numpy_dtype
Return an instance of our numpy dtype
type
The scalar type for the array, e.g.int
It's expectedExtensionArray[item]returns an instance
ofExtensionDtype.typefor scalaritem, assuming
that value is valid (not NA). NA values do not need to be
instances oftype.
