"Treasures are irreplaceable."

―Daiki's boast when stealing a treasure^[src]

"It'll only hurt for a moment."

―Diend's warning before using a Final Form Ride Card on a Rider for the first time.^[src]

Daiki Kaito (海東 大樹, Kaitō Daiki) is Kamen Rider Diend (仮面ライダーディエンド, Kamen Raidā Diendo, Masked Rider Diend), who is one of the fictional characters and secondary Kamen Rider in the Kamen Rider Series of Kamen Rider Decade.

History

World of Blade

"Hey, you. You still haven't eaten... a sea cucumber, Tsukasa?"

―Daiki Kaito’s first line^[src]

Though he briefly appeared in Blade's World, revealing he knows Tsukasa, Daiki found nothing worth taking. ^{[Blade Blade]}

World of Faiz

Arriving in Faiz's World ahead of Tsukasa, Daiki witnesses Faiz's battle with the Butterfly Orphnoch and was unable to catch him to acquire his Faiz Gear. When Tsukasa arrives in Faiz's World, Daiki reveals that Faiz is among the student body and warns him not to meddle in his affairs. However, as Tsukasa decides to find Faiz, Daiki gets Lucky Clover's aid by showing them the photograph that Faiz dropped during the fight under the assumption he wanted to join their group, leaving them to attack Yuri before Takumi becomes Faiz to protect her. Daiki then attempts to run away from school, but realizes that he needs to stay and make sure the belt is in proper hands.

When the Orphnochs acquire the belt, Daiki reveals his true intentions as he becomes Diend. He kills the Centipede Orphnoch before he and Decade fight over the Faiz Gear until Takumi regains it, later disposing of it. But in spite of being told Takumi had something more precious than the Faiz Gear, Daiki takes the Ride Booker from Tsukasa in an attempt to take the Faiz Gear from him. Narutaki whisks Tsukasa away to fight Kamen Rider Ryuga, but Daiki interrogates Kiva-la on the location to save Tsukasa, claiming that the Faiz Gear is what he came for as he gives Tsukasa back his Ride Booker.

However, during the Lucky Clover invasion of the Smart Brain School, Daiki returns once again to Tsukasa and Takumi's aid, returning the Faiz Driver to Takumi. After the fight, Daiki claims the Orga Gear for himself out of rubble while seeing it as the "more precious treasure" Tsukasa spoke of, leaving a little note on the painting of Agito's World as a warning not to meddle in his affairs again, which further irritates Tsukasa. ^{[Faiz High School's Phantom Thief] [555 Faces, 1 Treasure]}

World of Agito

Diend summons Delta and Drake.

In Agito's World, Daiki is training along with Yusuke and others to become the next G3-X user. Acquiring the position, it is only revealed later that Daiki's real goal in Agito's World is to steal the newly created G4 chip that was stored in Ashikawa's locker, Yusuke confronts him until Toko arrives and blasts the chip to bits. Daiki later aided Yusuke in protecting Ashikawa, only to find out what he possessed to be more precious than the G4 Chip. However, seeing that to be his Agito powers, Diend leaves the fight scene to the next world as he could not take it with him. ^{[Reunion: Project Agito] [Awakening: Tornado of Souls]}

World of Den-O

In Den-O's World, Kaito attempts to coax the Imagin Momotaros, who took Yusuke's body, into allowing him to use a Final Form Ride card on him to become a DenLiner. When M-Yusuke refuses, he is fought ragged by Diend until he leaves him to reconsider his offer.

However, when he offered again, Decade takes the card from Diend while defending Momotaros before helping him regain his self and form. ^{[Super Den-O Beginning] [Here Comes Super Momotaros!]} Sticking around Den-O's World, Diend sneaks aboard the DenLiner to the past where his summoned Riders were used by Urataros, Kintaros, and Ryutaros. ^{[Cho Kamen Rider Den-O & Decade Neo Generations: The Onigashima Warship]}

But after the attempt blew up in his face, Daiki receives a "treasure" from Tsukasa which was actually a vial of pepper. ^{[Warning: Kabuto Running Amok] [The Grandma Way of Taste]}

World of Hibiki

In Hibiki's World, after an attempt to rob Hibiki, Daiki learns from Asumu of the three scrolls owned by the three Oni schools. Working his way in Zanki's school, he makes a preposition to aid him in settling things with Ibuki and his school. However, during the fight with Decade, Diend reveals his true colors after stealing the Zanki and Ibuki school scrolls and having Momotaros cover his escape. He then admits to get the last scroll from Hibiki who blocks his path and gives him his Onkaku to give to Asumu along with his final request. The next day, Daiki uses Asumu to distract Hibiki lost enough to steal the scroll, invoking the man's change into Gyuki to cover his escape. However, after reading the scrolls, Daiki returns to give Asumu the Onkaku in order to see the harmony of the three Ongekidō styles. He takes his leave soon after, though thanked by Asumu and the others in spite of his protest that his motives were selfish. ^{[Idle Hibiki] [Ending Journey]}

World of Negatives

He is seen again in the Negative World, following Tsukasa before he overheard Otoya speaking of treasure that attracts the thief into fighting alongside Decade against the Dark Riders.

However, Junichi revealed he was never under Fourteen's control and was working for him on his own free will.

He allows the Spider Imagin to be destroyed and hitches a ride back in time on the DenLiner to attempt to cause a time paradox so he can be arrested by Kamen Rider G Den-O. This sets in motion a series of events that would allow Daiki to complete his plan, by getting his past self accidentally hit by Kurosaki and retrieve the golden gun before it gets damaged, thus putting it into his possession while opening his pursuer's eyes to what he should value more. Although his past self steals the golden gun from him and escapes, Daiki obtains a K-Touch from Kurosaki and gains his own Complete Form and destroys Kamen Rider G Den-O.

Kamen Rider Zi-O

Our Goal 2019

File:Diki2019.jpg

Daiki Kaito in Zi-O

Elsewhere, a man in a white coat holding a blue gun looks at the city skyline from a rooftop and proclaims that the treasures of this world are not Tsukasa's to hoard.

Blade Joker!? 2019

Daiki returns in Zi-O, and like Tsukasa with an all-new transformation device, the Neo Diendriver where he sets his sights on Sougo's precious Ridewatches. He appears somewhere at the top of the building at night, and telling that Tsukasa should've not hogged all the 'treasures' by himself. When Tsukuyomi asks, Daiki Kaito appears and answers that it is a small gesture and to enjoy their meal before leaving, with Woz recognizing him. The boys soon realize that they have been robbed, as all the Ridewatches except for Black Woz's are gone.

They chase after the hospitable intruder and try to face him after avoiding being shot by his gun, only to realize that the Zi-O and Geiz Ridewatches were pick pocketed off of them by Daiki. Black Woz arrives and tells Geiz and Sougo that they man who robbed them is Kamen Rider Diend, an ally of Decade. Daiki is surprised and amused, asking if they have met Tsukasa already. Geiz orders Black Woz to get their Ridewatches back, but he doesn't seem interested in helping. Sougo orders him to do it, as Woz needs his master to have his Watches to achieve his goal. Black Woz reluctantly agrees as he is correct and becomes Kamen Rider Woz while Daiki becomes Diend. At first, it seems Woz is winning when he changes into Futuring Kikai form and knocks several Ridewatches off of him to be recovered by his robotic arms. However, Diend gets the upper hand by summoning Kamen Rider Baron and Knight to gang up on Woz. He tells Woz that they can have those treasures back and uses his Attack Ride: Neo Invisible card to get away. The summons of Baron and Knight vanish soon after.

At a substation, White Woz meets up with Daiki, having been the person who ordered the theft of the Ridewatches. He is upset when he doesn't see his Woz Ridewatch among the stolen items. Daiki says he only steals treasures that interest him and he wants for himself, smack talking to White Woz saying that if he wants his treasures so badly he should get them himself. Insulted but unsettlingly calm, White Woz manipulates reality so that his Black counterpart stumbles upon Daiki and fights him again. As Black Woz and Geiz walk several feet apart from each other, Black Woz falls under the Future Diary's spell and is forced against his will to come towards where Daiki is. Geiz then figures out what is going on and follows him.

Daiki and Black Woz meet up and after discussing how each were manipulated by White Woz, transform and fight. Geiz confronts White Woz, who says he is running out of time as the Day of Oma draws near and both of them must correct history to their path. Geiz isn't interested in White Woz's future and he himself is no savior. White Woz is disappointed and tells Geiz in that case, he will annihilate the world to prevent the rise of Oma Zi-O.

Diend summoned
Kamen Ride Accel & Birth

Diend and Woz continue their battle, with Woz changing into Futuring Shinobi to outmanuver Diends gunfire and put him in a hold so Geiz can take back his watches. Geiz refuses to help out of stubbornness and Diend breaks free, summoning Kamen Rider Accel and Birth. Diend uses his Tesla Bands to speed up and strike Woz, followed by Accel changing into Bike form and ramming Woz into the air while Birth barrages him with Cell Burst shots. Diend aims his Diendriver after loading his Final Attack Ride Diend Card, making a perfect shot just before Woz touches the ground. But it turns out what Diend was facing was a bunshin dummy, as Geiz says the real Woz is a master of deception and lies. Woz appears behind Diend from a puff of smoke and slashes him, knocking out the Geiz Ridewatch from Diend's possession. Geiz knew that he was merely a distraction, but takes his Ridewatch back after Woz tosses it to him and he prepares to transform to tag team against Diend.

2019: Trinity Has Begun!

The next day, he comes into 9 5 Do to prepare breakfast for Sougo and co. After he left, he is exposed immediately upon stealing all of the Ridewatches. Sougo and Geiz rushed to catch him in no time, only to be helpless as Daiki has stolen their Ridewatches too. Black Woz who is the only one with transformation power, faces Daiki and triumphs, despite he has summoned Kamen Rider Knight and Baron for his advantage. Daiki then retreats using the Neo Invisible AttackRide card. 

It is later revealed that he is asked by White Woz to steal Ridewatches. Much to White Woz’s disappointment, Daiki only gives him the Zi-O II and Geiz Revive Ridewatches instead of the Woz Miridewatch. White Woz asked why Daiki didn't steal the Woz Miridewatch too, Daiki reasoned that it is White Woz's treasure, Daiki tells him to take it by himself.

White Woz immediately set up Daiki to face on Black Woz with his note and Daiki notices that he can't run away from its power, accepting the setup. Battling Black Woz once again, Daiki seems to gain the advantage by summoning Kamen Rider Accel and Birth. But Daiki is caught off guard after he shoots Black Woz with Dimensional Shoot and Black Woz using Shinobi's substitution technique. Black Woz triumphs again over Daiki and takes back the Geiz Ridewatch. Daiki now faces both Black Woz and Geiz, exclaiming that he already gave the Zi-O II and Geiz Revive Ridewatches to someone else, later revealed to be White Woz.

After Geiz transforms, he and Black Woz managed to overpower Diend and he escapes after telling that he’s also a passing through Kamen Rider and Tsukasa’s friend. He reappears after the fight against Another Blade finished, with White Woz's future tablet in hand, his original target. It appears that he actually works for Oma Zi-O, and he relays the demon king's message to Sougo and Woz.

Daiki takes away GrandZi-O Riderwatch from Sougo

He once again makes his appearance after witnessing Another Zi-O II defeating Sougo, and marks his new target.

Swartz, for unknown reasons, makes Daiki go through a painful proccess and bestows Temporal Freezing powers on him.

Though suffering pain from the process, Daiki decides to test his powers, by freezing everyone in time (except Ora) and taking away the GrandZi-O Ridewatch from Sougo before taking his leave.

Other appearances

Kamen Rider Decade: The World of Tsukasa Kadoya ~The Garden Inside the Lens~

In the novel which is the reimagination of the TV series, Kaito is given a tragic past and is a very confused and troubled man. His entire family is brutally murdered in front of him. Out of desperation Kaito begs on his knees, hoping he’ll be spared, even going as far as to lick the murderer’s shoes. He eventually gets tired of his world and seeks to find a new one, along the way he finds the Diendriver and ends up working for Narutaki and there’s no real explanation for any of this. Here, he has no interest for stealing treasures, but it is however dropped after Kabuto’s world.

Arriving at their final destination, the world of Kabuto, where they meet Souji Tendou, still as arrogant and confident as ever, and considers himself as the strongest Rider ever. The group enters Bistro La Salle where Hiyori Kusakabe works. Hiyori sees Kaito and Tsukasa, dressed as a ZECTroopers, claiming that the two of them ate without paying. Tendou hears this and is enraged. The three of them fight and Tendou actually beats them with only a pair of chopsticks. Turns out it was a pair of Worms that ate without paying. Tsukasa and Kaito are eventually captured by ZECT, only to have Tendou save them. Tsukasa thanks him and says that he never thanks people. Tsukasa starts respecting Tendou. For some inexplicable reason, Tendou has the Clock Up Attack Ride Rider Card and gives it to Tsukasa after he realizes that he is Kamen Rider Decade. Tsukasa uses the Clock Up card as Kuuga, meaning the Attack Ride cards aren’t restricted to their respective Riders in the novel. In the end, the Worms that impersonate both Tsukasa and Kaito have been defeated. As the fight is over the trio goes back to Tsukasa’s world.

Between all the traveling, a vampire has been attacking in Tsukasa’s world, leaving behind drained corpses. The group investigates and they find out that Narutaki is the vampire. Just like the group, Narutaki originally had his own homeworld, but abandoned it to find a new one. However, he’s been traveling for so long that his mind has been deteriorating and can barely remember who he really is. He was originally a human, but somehow in his journeys, he had lost his humanity. The Kamen Riders have a very pure energy that Narutaki seeks to consume: the Rider Cards. Thus, he sends Kaito to steal them for him. Kaito reveals his betrayal towards the team and gives Narutaki Tsukasa's 9 Heisei Rider Cards and Narutaki reveals his real form: a red-hued demon. Kaito suddenly has a change of heart, and sacrifices himself to save Tsukasa.

A few decades after Tsukasa and Natsumi's final confrontation with Narutaki, Kaito revives as an unchanged young man and reappears in front of an elderly Tsukasa. Kaito tells him it’s time to visit Natsumi’s world. There they are greeted by a young Natsumi, and Tsukasa finds himself as a young man again. ^{[Kamen Rider Decade: The World of Tsukasa Kadoya ~The Garden Inside the Lens~]}

Personality

File:Kamen Rider Diend 4(mid-henshin).jpg

Diend's mid-transformation

Daiki is a mysterious young man who is portrayed as being cheerful to the extent of being annoying to those around him, but becomes serious in battle and sees material objects as more important than anything else. Narutaki, aware that Daiki is Diend, avoids getting in his way. He also appears to know about Tsukasa's past, referring to sea cucumbers as being something Tsukasa had always wanted to taste. He travels from A.R. World to A.R. World, stealing what he refers to as "treasures".

It is revealed that he comes from an A.R. World (referred to as the "World of Diend") where he was an officer who served the evil Fourteen who has deemed Kamen Riders as threats to the public peace. Daiki hunted them down and turned them in for education until he captured the leader of the Kamen Riders: Kamen Rider Glaive. When Glaive is unmasked, he is revealed to be Daiki's older brother Junichi.

By then, Daiki learns the truth that Fourteen brainwashes people, powerless to stop him. Losing his self-confidence and seeking to undo all of the mistakes he had caused, Daiki stole the Diendriver from Dai-Shocker, becoming Kamen Rider Diend and becomes Fourteen's new most wanted Kamen Rider.

He leaves his world, traveling to other worlds and taking their treasures as a means of self-delusion until he crosses paths with Kamen Rider Decade. Eventually, he does lackadaisically accept the Hikari Studio residents as "friends", even calling Decade a "comrade", though he is not beyond abandoning them without explanation, usually for his own self-interest. He also seems to be willing to steal from the weak and innocent, as he stole from Kurosaki when he was a child. This makes him one of the more questionable Secondary Riders when it comes to morality.

Powers and Abilities

• Dimensional Travel: Like Tsukasa, Daiki can travel within worlds via Dimensional walls.
• Thievery/Pickpocketing Skills: Daiki is a treasure hunter who travels the A.R. Worlds in search of treasures and can sometimes able to pickpocket from out of sight, even a past version of himself was able to steal the Kurosaki family's pistol heirloom from Daiki.
• Temporal Freezing: Bestowed by Swartz against his will, Daiki possesses the Time Jackers' ability to freeze time. The first instance he tried out this power was to steal the GrandZi-O Ridewatch from Sougo Tokiwa. However, his ability is weak against Time Jackers, as Ora could survive the freeze.

Forms

He mostly appeared as Kamen Rider Diend. Only in Episode 12 of Kamen Rider Decade, he briefly wore G3-X suit.

Kamen Rider Diend's ending theme is entitled "Treasure Sniper".

From what was seen during Shouichi Ashikawa's past, the A.R. World version of G3-X was also modified from the standard G3 system using G3's diagnostic data. It is unknown if it has the same A.I. installed as the original G3-X, though the existence of the G4 chip suggests that this may be the case.

In episode 12 of Decade, Daiki briefly deployed as G3-X to take out the Gurongi with Yusuke Onodera supporting him. During the battle Kaito unequipped the armor in order to finish the fight as Diend.

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Daiki Kaito is portrayed by Kimito Totani (戸谷 公人, Totani Kimito), who reprised his role in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen.

As Kamen Rider Diend, his suit actor in Kamen Rider Decade was Eitoku (永徳, Eitoku), who has been the suit actor for the Secondary Riders of the Heisei Phase 2 Series from Accel to Meteor. In Super Hero Taisen, his suit actor was Ryo Yokota (横田 遼, Yokota Ryō).

Notes

• Kamen Rider Diend name comes from the English words "die" and "end", as well as "the end".
• Daiki's surname is a homophone of the Japanese word kaitō (怪盗, kaitō phantom thief), a role he fulfills in Decade.
• In some materials in Decade, Daiki's surname is spelled in English as "Kaitou" rather than "Kaito"; this is considered an acceptable alternative Romanization for the long "O" sound.
• Unlike Kamen Rider Decade, Daiki can't change into any of the past Riders in the same way he could. The only time he became another Rider was when he briefly wears the G3-X armor.
• Exactly how and when Kaito stole the Diendriver from Dai-Shocker was never clearly stated, but many fans believe that when he ran away from his world, he stole the Driver while traveling and stealing treasure.
• It is possible that when Diend summons a Rider, he is actually controlling their mind (or perhaps corrupting them instead) as some of them did act out of character when they fought his enemies.
• He is similar to Basco ta Jolokia from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, as they both can summon Riders/Sentai from a device. However, what separates Daiki from the likes of Basco is that he doesn't have a monstrous form and that he's also somewhat redeemable.
  • As shown in Super Hero Taisen, he is also similar to Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), in that they are both blue-colored heroes and Daiki has a close relationship with Tsukasa just as Joe as a close relationship with Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red). However, Daiki is more of a rival to Tsukasa while Joe is much more loyal to Marvelous.
• Diend is the first secondary rider to be in light blue colored suit in basic (not by changing form), followed by Brave.
• He is the second Rider after Daisuke Kazama to use a gun to transform into a Rider.
  • Coincidentally, both Daisuke and Daiki are Cyan-colored Riders and share the same intials (D.K.).
• It is believed Diend Complete Form lacks a Rider representing Kamen Rider Den-O as a result of Kamen Rider Gaoh's costume being repurposed to create the suit used to represent Kamen Rider Yuuki.
• Despite having an updated transformation device, there is no changes for Diend's suit when using the Neo Diendriver unlike Decade sporting the Neo Decadriver.
• Daiki's trait of performing actions opposite to that of Tsukasa (while still being his ally) is continued in Kamen Rider Zi-O​​​. While Tsukasa is working to destroy the world if Sougo Tokiwa becomes the Demon King, Daiki (apparently) serves as a messenger of Oma Zi-O.
  • Additionally, Tsukasa would eventually team up with Sougo Tokiwa during the Another Zi-O II crisis, while Daiki is fighting against Sougo as he was given the temporal freezing abilities of the Time Jackers to steal the GrandZi-O Ridewatch.
• Kaito made his first appearance in Kamen Rider Decade in the World of Blade. He then made his first full appearance in Kamen Rider Zi-O in the Kamen Rider Blade episode of that series. It also should be noted that is his homeworld is heavily inspired by the summer movie, Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace.
