Hayato Fukamiya (富加宮 隼人, Fukamiya Hayato) was Kento Fukamiya's father and a swordsman of the Sword of Logos who transformed into Kamen Rider Calibur (仮面ライダーカリバー, Kamen Raidā Karibā).
History[]
Background[]
Hayato Fukamiya was a member of the Sword of Logos and the father of Kento Fukamiya. He was the wielder of Ankokuken Kurayami and the original Kamen Rider Calibur. Hayato was Ryo Ogami's trainer as Hayato shaped him up to become the next Kamen Rider Buster under the condition that he would train Kento in the future. He was also close friends with Daichi Kamijo and often sparred with him. He also posed for a photo with Kamijo and Sophia. Fifteen years ago, Hayato begun seeing visions of the future through Ankokuken Kurayami and foresaw Master Logos being the perpetrator of the world's destruction.
When he confronted Master Logos, Hayato was manipulated to sacrifice Luna to bridge Earth and Wonder World to search for the eternal truth. He released the Megid onto the city to distract the swordsmen while he kidnapped Luna to seize the Almighty Book. While Kamijo confronted him of his actions, Hayato fought him as Calibur. Once Kamijo foiled his plans, Hayato engages in one final duel with his former friend, with Kamijo emerging as the victor after being seemingly slain. With his last dying breath, he apologies to his own son for being unable to save his world.
Tassel's Bird[]
Unbeknownst to everyone, Hayato's spirit was brought to Wonder World and was turned into a glowing bird, becoming Tassel's assistant ever since. He was considered to be missing in action by the other members of the Sword of Logos, while his mantle of Calibur was taken by Kamijo. Hayato could not contact his old friends, including Kento, for the past fifteen years.
When Yuri came into Tassel's house to search for him after he was banished by Master Logos, Hayato flew onto his hand in his bird form, telling him that the Wonder World's guardian is recuperating from his injuries. Knowing Kento had taken up the Kamen Rider Calibur mantle, Hayato would later fly to Kento's side after he refused Touma's offer of changing the future together. Hayato flew near his son to confirms that the novelist's statements, briefly suprising Kento hearing by his father's voice.
A Father-Son Reunion[]
- "Kento, you've grown again, haven't you? You're so tall that you even outgrew me!"
- ―Hayato complimenting Kento's height after being fifteen years apart.[src]
Hayato would reunite with Kento after fifteen years, by using his powers to create a peaceful terrain. He was delighted to see his son, but regretted how Kento went down the same dark path he took before. Hayato gave his son a much-needed pep-talk to not do everything by himself and praised Kento for having great friends. When Kento had joined Touma and the rest of the swordsmen in the nick of time, Hayato came to his son again so he can aid the Riders in Haouken Xross Saber's creation, with Hayato wielding Ankokuken Kurayami once more. After Xross Saber's victory against Master Logos, Hayato decided to remain in Wonder World after Tassel's return.
During the final battle against Storious, the spirits of Kamijo and Hayato came one last time to aid Sophia, who had taken up the mantle of Calibur to fight alongside the current swordsmen.
Personality[]

- ―Hayato to his young son[src]
Before betraying the Sword of Logos, Hayato was shown to be a loving father to Kento and was considered a talented swordsman by his fellow peers. However, due to the visions from the Ankokuken Kurayami and vile manipulation from Isaac, he became corrupted and ruthless enough to sacrifice a child to stop the destruction of the world.
According to Kento, Hayato had succumbed to the fear which led to his corruption. This showed that Kento has forgiven his father and Daichi as he claimed that both of them were just choosing the wrong methods to avert the world's destruction.
By the time of his return, Hayato has returned to his past self, showing his caring side to Kento once again. However, he now feels regret for his actions and personally apologized to his son for not being there by his side. He also has learned from his mistakes of doing things by himself, and gave a pep-talk to Kento about being himself instead of someone he does not wish to be.
