    Congratulations on your new kitty.

    This is just my opinion, but I think the best way to introduce a new kitty is through a slow introduction. If you can put him in a spare room by himself for a few days, this will help calm your other cats. Some people suggest taking a towel and rubbing the kitten with it and then placing the towel in another room for your other cats to smell for them to get use to the scent of the new kitty.
    I myself, after a few days, have placed my new addition in a cat carrier and placed it in the middle of my living room. The first few days, I keep it there for about 15 minutes, then bring it back into the spare room. Then after a few days, I leave the cat carrier for about 1/2 an hour for a few days, then the next few days, leave it for about an hour. I do this in total for about a week and then on the last day, I leave the door to the cat carrier opened and kitty will come out to explore. I usually have great results in doing this.
    Also I have carried them in my arms and let the other cats smell the new kittens butt as this is what comes naturally to them.

    In whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the best of luck with your new kitten.

    The thing,if you can,is to let them get used to each other,slowly,Adult Cats,are better,as they are more relaxed.And your Kittens,might be playing,and want,to iniate a Play Fight,which looks like agression.Good Luck,and please keep us informed.

    Concatulations!

    I was going to say something along the same lines as Lorraine already said.

    Good luck!

    Congrats on your new kitty!!! Just take the introductions slowly and I'm sure that the others will begin to accept him. Good luck and please keep us updated. Do you have any pictures of him or the rest of your furlikds? I'd love to see them.
