Hiromi Kadota (門田 ヒロミ, Kadota Hiromi) is a captain/commander of Fenix (now Blue Bird) who transforms into Kamen Rider Demons (仮面ライダーデモンズ, Kamen Raidā Demonzu).
History[]
Background[]
Hiromi with Chigusa and Tatsuhiko during their cadet days.
Hiromi Kadota was born on September 15, 1993 to his parents Katsuya and Takako Kadota and grew up in the Miyagi countryside. During his childhood, he was often bullied and had no role models, thus inspiring Hiromi to become a "hero" to save the lives of people someday. His father had also passed away, leaving both Hiromi and his mother sad.
In his adulthood, Hiromi enrolled into Fenix and underwent its cadet training program with Chigusa Yamagiri and Tatsuhiko Tabuchi. While he had initially struggled, he was encouraged by Yujiro Wakabayashi to work harder. After graduating top of his class, Hiromi worked his way up the ladder and within three years, became a commander of his own squad.
The Deadmans Crisis[]
Hiromi after accidentally creating the Rex Deadman.
When the Deadmans emerged, Hiromi was stationed at a Fenix Genome Laboratory where the Deadmans raided the facility and took a majority of the Proto Vistamps. During the Fenix commencement ceremony to unveil the Revice Driver, the Deadmans launched a big assault where Hiromi was prepared to wield the Revice Driver despite George Karizaki. Instead, Hiromi accidentally manifested the Rex Deadman and the situation got more worse. This caused Daiji Igarashi to hesitate using the belt himself, leading to Ikki Igarashi being the one who use the Revice Driver.
Hiromi gets demoted over his recent failures.
Hiromi initially protested to his superior, Yujiro Wakabayashi, about letting Ikki using the Revice Driver. Because he refused to admit his blunders, Wakabayashi silenced him and Hiromi was demoted to captain status after causing multiple mistakes. Despite receiving such treatment, it didn't falter Hiromi's sense of justice as he bravely fought on the frontlines against the Deadmans as a squad leader, remaining focused on the mission.
Becoming Kamen Rider Demons[]

- ―Demons' proclamation to stop Kagero[src]
Following the theft of the Lion Vistamp and Daiji Igarashi's strange behavior, Hiromi would learn that his co-captain had became Kamen Rider Evil. Hiromi was authorized by Wakabayashi and Karizaki to use the Demons Driver and is deployed to become Kamen Rider Demons. Demons managed to overwhelm Evil in battle, but the mysterious Rider managed to make a hasty retreat.

Hiromi would continue to fight alongside Revice once they managed to get Daiji back into his senses. As Kamen Rider Demons, he would join the battlefield to combat the Deadmans threat.
Beyond Generations[]
Fenix's Kamen Riders and the Sword of Logos
After the Deadmans reawakened Diablo, Hiromi would become aware of the existence of this new threat. This led to Fenix's Kamen Riders and the Sword of Logos joining forces. They would also encounter time-displaced Shocker scientist Ryunosuke Momose, who sought to make amends with Hideo, his young son he left behind in 1971, who is now an adult man in 2021.
Demons prepares to fight the Deadmans
Hiromi goes to Alaska with Reika and Ryoga Shindai to battle the Deadmans. He would soon cross paths with the Chameleon Deadman, who caught him in chokehold. As the final battle was approaching, Kamen Rider Demons would join forces with Sabela, Durendal, and Calibur to battle the Giff Juniors.
Dismantling the Deadmans' Operations[]
After the Fenix Skybase was raided by the Deadmans, Karizaki suspected Commander Wakabayashi is a traitor. Despite Hiromi vehemently denying these claims, he nevertheless engaged in a stakeout with Daiji and Karizaki to catch Wakabayashi in the act. Hiromi broke down in tears after learning that the Chameleon Deadman had murdered and impersonated Wakabayashi.
Hiromi appointed head commander of Fenix
- "I'll lay down my life, if it means to crush you! (我が命をかけて、お前をぶっ潰す！, Waga inochi wo kakete, omae wo buttsubusu!)"
- ―Demons' proclamation to defeat the Chameleon Deadman[src]
Fenix was still recovering after the Chameleon Deadman seized the Giff Stamp while disguised as Commander Wakabayashi. After Kagero disclosed the location of the Deadmans' base, Hiromi led his squad to raid Giff's ceremony. He would carry on to fight as Kamen Rider Demons to prevail against the Chameleon Deadman and shut down the Deadmans' operations. Due to his instrumental actions, Hiromi would become promoted as Fenix's head commander.
Revice: The Mystery[]
Hiromi smitten by Suzu Saionji
After Revice fought the Orangutan Deadman, Hiromi joins Ikki as they follow its trail to Pension Nijitenka. He would meet its proprietor Suzu Saionji, who he developed a crush on but seemed fixated on Ikki instead. While trying to search for the Vistamp holder amongst its lodgers, Hiromi is stringed along for a murder mystery when one of the suspects ends up dead. While Ikki and Genpachiro Otta investigate the lodge, Hiromi tries to get closer with Suzu.
However, Hiromi ends up being assaulted by the Sword Roidmude and falls unconscious. Despite his poor condition, he manages to apprehend the Snake Orphnoch, Naoya Kaido. However, the true culprit behind the monster attacks was revealed to be Suzu, much to Hiromi's disappointment. To further push his anguish, she ordered the attack on him earlier because she wanted Revice, not Demons. Hiromi nevertheless aids Kamen Riders Revice and Accel in the final battle against Oblivian, while still saddened that he was rejected in the end.
The Demons Driver Dilemma[]
Hiromi discovers the Demons Driver's sentience
As Hiromi continues to oversee Fenix as its head commander, he began to suffer from frequent discomforts. After receiving a report from Chigusa, whom he sent undercover into the Deadmans, he learnt that she had defected over. He would also learn that the Demons Driver is sentient and harbors a demon. However, Orteca forcibly transforms Chigusa into a Gifftarian, and Hiromi transforms to avenge her despite warnings from Akemi Mikoshiba. Fortunately, Ikki launched a Rider Kick to stop the Demons Driver from completely eating away his life.
Hiromi confronts Orteca, the new Demons.
Growing concerned with Fenix's questionable actions, he resigns from the organization. While leaving, Hiromi witnesses Orteca being released by director Hideo Akaishi. Having been discovered, the Skybase is compromised and Hiromi is forced to commandeer the ship from crash landing. When he arrives to the battlefield to confront Orteca, the new Kamen Rider Demons, Hiromi is eventually blown off a cliff by Orteca after warning the Igarashi siblings of Fenix's treacherous actions. Since then, Hiromi was declared missing and his body was nowhere to be found.
Welcome Home[]
Broken from his battle with Orteca, Hiromi returns home.
- "Thank you, Mom."
- ―Hiromi to Takako.[src]
Hiromi tends for his mother.
Following his fierce battle with Orteca, Hiromi survived the fall and secretly returned to his hometown in the Miyagi countryside to reunite with his mother. Due to him losing confidence in being a hero, Hiromi also faked having amnesia and even turned Ikki and Daiji away. His conscience came in the form of Wakabayashi's spirit, who encouraged him to persevere. After learning that his mother had a few more months to live, Hiromi spent his remaining time with his mother while reconciling his spirit with a young boy in his hometown.
Hiromi returns after Akemi's death.
With his spirit rekindled, Hiromi returned to Tokyo and worked with Tatsuhiko to evacuate the rehabilitation patients at Fenix before the Skybase came crashing. After the plan to save Akemi went forward but failed, to which Daiji arrived and misunderstood the situation, Hiromi arrived to stop Daiji from hitting Ikki. Hiromi then attempted to plea to Daiji to never let his righteousness get the better of him, but it fell on deaf ears.
Fighting Giff[]
Hiromi silently accepts George's apology.
As Hiromi began helping out at the shelters, George approached him with the mass-produced Demons Drivers and apologized for his past actions, one that Hiromi accepted. He began distributing amongst Weekend members to become Demons Troopers and Hiromi took part in the battlefield. Upon realizing that Daiji would never let go of his self-righteous ways, Hiromi decided to put his own life on the line once more and request a Demons Driver from Karizaki under the condition to never utter his catchphrase - and by extension, never go out of his way to risk his life ever again.
Hiromi prepares to become Demons once more.
- "I'll devote my heart and soul, if it means helping you change! (我が全身全霊をかけて、お前を変える！, Waga zenshin zenrei wo kakete, omae wo kaeru!)"
- ―Demons' proclamation to stop Daiji[src]
Hiromi faced Daiji as Kamen Rider Demons once again despite the strain it put on his body, with the duel culminating to both fighters getting knocked out of their transformations. Hiromi then encouraged Daiji to stop running away from his failures and admit his own fears, before finally reassuring him to carry the burden of his family. This had a great effect on Daiji, causing him to re-materialize Kagero from his self-conscious and balance out his righteousness.
Birth of Chimera[]
Battle Familia[]
Price of Transformation[]
Hiromi finds the Demons Driver and Week Endriver at Masumi's grave.
Several weeks have passed and Hiromi and Hikaru are cleaning up at Weekend headquarters. Hiromi helps Hikaru carry a chest up the stairs and is immediately exhausted. However, Karizaki commenced his mission to destroy every Rider System harnessing the power of demons. Hiromi confronts him whether he truly sought to bring out peace. While visiting Masumi's grave, Hiromi deduced that Karizaki wants to get back at his father and surpass him by destroying the Rider System he created.
Open Sesame!
In reality, Karizaki is struggling to come to terms with Masumi's death. While rummaging through Masumi’s belongings, Hiromi hopes to find something that might stop Karizaki, finding his childhood bedroom. He would watch Ikki and Vice's duel against Karizaki with Daiji and Sakura anxiously. Ikki and Hiromi show Karizaki the drawings he made as a child and made him reminisce the times with Masumi. However, the battle came at a heavy price as Ikki would lose his memories of Daiji and Sakura.
Ikki's family and friends watch his final battle with Vice.
Hiromi and Karizaki help get Ikki find his own place in one of Fenix’s old dorms. While he and Karizaki appeared on more better terms, the two would be approached by Vice to fully restore Ikki's memories. Hiromi and Karizaki would show Ikki a livestream of Vice rampaging downtown. Unknown to Ikki, this was an elaborate plan as the contract is not over yet is because one family member, Vice, still remains. Hiromi pointed out Ikki sincerely considers Vice part of his family.
Hiromi reminds Karizaki to visit Masumi's grave.
Hiromi watched as Ikki and Vice transformed into Ultimate Revice, deciding to battle on much friendlier terms. Everyone present was able to tearfully laugh in happiness and cheer on for the both of them. As the battle concluded, Hiromi watched Ikki and Vice's final moments and with that, Ikki's memories of his family are restored. A few months later, Hiromi joined Blue Bird under Daiji's supervision and catches up with Karizaki, handing him a bouquet of flowers so he can finally visit Masumi.

Revice Forward: Kamen Rider Live & Evil & Demons[]
With Blue Bird having finished restoring the city, they began working as a paramilitary organization where Hiromi became a captain once again. At this time, he went under the supervision of Dr. Kagetaka Ichimura, whose medical expertise helped Hiromi match his body with his age. Later on a mission, Hiromi infiltrated the hideout of the terrorist organization Alicorn to rescue a group of kidnapped children, one of them being Rumi whom Hiromi promised to take to the amusement park. However, he is captured and a clone of him, namely Muramasa was created without his knowledge.
After escaping, Hiromi discovers the existence of Muramasa and tried to protect Rumi from her capturers. Learning that Rumi's powers were what de-aged his body back to normal, he thanked her before she is taken by Kagero. Distraught that he couldn't protect her, Hiromi is visited by the spirit of his former mentor, Wakayabashi, who reminded Hiromi that he already had changed and become a hero. With his newfound resolve, Hiromi met up with Daiji to confront Muramasa and the clones, who were in fact created by Dr. Ichimura himself.
Transforming into Imperial Demons, Hiromi fights Muramasa and defeats him. However Dr. Ichimura absorbs Rumi with no apparent way to safely separate them. However thanks to the Revice Driver that Daiji and Kagero used, they were capable of doing so and defeat Dr. Ichimura, saving Rumi. The next day, Hiromi is amongst the group who bring Rumi to the amusement park.
Juuga VS Orteca[]
Personality[]
Hiromi is determined and serious with a strong sense of justice, which attributes to his catchphrase that begins with "I'll lay down my life..." (我が命をかけて..., Waga inochi o kakete...), much to George Karizaki's annoyance. Although his drive to protect people is genuine, Hiromi can be prone to making mistakes and reckless choices; this was duly noted by George, who remarked that Hiromi was unable to tame his own inner demon. This led him to be demoted from commander back to captain status over his failures to prevent the Vistamp raid and accidentally creating the Rex Deadman. Despite these setbacks, he was nevertheless willing to comply to his superiors and continues to cooperate with Ikki Igarashi in stopping the Deadmans.
Despite his strong sense of justice, Hiromi also hides a highly sensitive side, as his pride can be easily broken. This trait was revealed by Vice, who had entered his mind to discover that his inner personality was crying helplessly. This may also be one of the innate factors driving Hiromi's sense of responsibility, by wanting to do as much as he can to make up for the mistakes he has made. After the battle with Orteca, Hiromi's pride was broken so much to the point he ran back home and faked having amnesia.
Fortunately, his pride was rebuilt in time to aid Weekend with Giff's invasion. However, when Hiromi repeated his old catchphrase, George berated him and only gave him the Driver on the condition Hiromi promised to never say the phrase - and by extension, never take extraordinary risks in battle - ever again. During and after his return as Demons against Daiji, Hiromi began using the new catchphrase; "I will devote my heart and soul..." (我が全身全霊をかけて..., Waga zenshinzenrei o kakete...). Hiromi had temporarily reverted back to his old self for Rumi but was reminded by Wakabayashi that he had changed and already became a hero.
Abilities[]
- Expert Combatant: Hiromi as Demons is capable of engaging in unarmed combat against the Deadmans and Kamen Rider Evil.
- Skilled Marksman: As a Fenix member, Hiromi is accustomed to firearms during combat. After his return, he continues to use firearms as well as a bow in battle.
- Swordsmanship: As seen with his clone Muramasa, both are well-versed in the sword arts.
Former Weaknesses[]
- Physical Deterioration: Hiromi's prolonged usage of the Demons Driver resulted in his body deteriorating due to the driver being the host of the demon Vail, who siphoned the life-force from his body. While Hiromi physically appeared young, his internal bodily organs were weakened to the point where continued transformations would have been inevitably fatal. After being healed by Rumi's powers, he was able to fully recover.

Demons can fire string from his hands to restrain an enemy or suspend himself from a surface with webbing produced from his belt. He can also create a red energy web to protect himself from enemy attacks.
While inside of the Demons Driver, Vail steals some of Hiromi's life-force every time he transforms. As a result, his health deteriorates over time, culminating in his organs and bodily functions resembling those of an 80-year old. Eventually, continuing to transform puts Hiromi's life at risk. Attempting to use several Genomix forms at the same time seemingly accelerates this process, forcing Hiromi out of his transformation. By the time Hiromi joins Weekend, Vail had already left the Driver. When Hiromi decides to use the Demons Driver again, George further modifies it to accommodate his condition. While the subsequent transformation did not kill Hiromi, it heavily strained his body nonetheless.
Spider Genome consists of the following parts:
- Demon Geno Head (デモンゲノヘッド, Demon Geno Heddo): The head.

- Demon Geno Foot (デモンゲノフット, Demon Geno Futto): The feet. By receiving the operation of the Demons Driver and gathering high-density energy on the sole, it is possible to activate the finishing move Demons Finish, which converts the Vistamp's genetic information into an attack.
This form has the following finishers:
- Demons Driver finishers:
- Demons Finish (ディーモンズフィニッシュ, Demonzu Finisshu): This finisher has four variations.
- Demons jumps into the air and produces crimson energy from his body as he floats in place. Eight red energy constructs of mechanical spider legs then emerge from his back and curl forward, gathering their pointed ends in front of Demons' foot as he performs a flying kick covered in red energy. The kick produces red and purple energy upon impact before causing the enemy to fly along with Demons until the two crash through a wall.
- From his hand, Demons fires string that wraps around the enemy and restrains him. He then pulls the string, causing the enemy to be launched through the air towards him. Demons jumps towards the enemy with his hand covered in crimson energy before delivering a punch that produces a large red shockwave upon impact.

Eight red energy constructs of mechanical spider legs then emerge from his leg and curl forward, gathering their pointed ends in front of Demons' foot as he performs a flying kick. More red energy is produced upon the kick striking the enemy. Demons then activates the Demons Finish a second time, causing eight more energy spider legs to sprout from Demons' back and point forward as well. This strengthens the kick and allows Demons to overpower the enemy, resulting in an explosion.

Friends[]
- Blue Bird
- Tatsuhiko Tabuchi: A fellow Fenix Captain and close friend of Hiromi since their cadet days. Since Hiromi became Demons, Tatsuhiko had been aware of the Demons Driver's side effects and continued to care for his friend's well being. The two apparently have continued to keep in contact after Hiromi left Fenix, as he was able to alert Tatsuhiko to evacuate all of Fenix's squad members from the Fenix Skybase before its destruction.
- Daiji Igarashi/Kamen Rider Live: Hiromi is good friends with Daiji and supported his friend whenever the latter seemed to be down. Hiromi even shared his feelings about how much it hurt him to be demoted, but not giving up as long as there was a chance to serve for the greater good. Hiromi is shown to be greatly relieved once Daiji regained control of his inner body, and became Kamen Rider Live. After overcoming his own personal crisis, Hiromi returns in an attempt to talk some sense back into Daiji, who by then was already far gone down a path similar to how Hiromi was back then.
- George Karizaki/Kamen Rider Demons (III)/Kamen Rider Juuga: Hiromi respects him as his superior, although at times the two would have their own disagreements due to their conflicting personalities. George himself is also shown to care about Hiromi's wellbeing, to the point of giving the Giff Stamp to the Chameleon Deadman to save Hiromi. However, when Hiromi discovers that the Demons Driver had side-effects that George failed to disclose, his trust in him faltered greatly. However, despite his anger, Hiromi would eventually forgive George upon his return.
- Sakura Igarashi/Kamen Rider Jeanne: to be added
- Hana Natsuki/(Kamen Rider) Aguilera: to be added
- Go Tamaki/Julio/Kamen Rider Over Demons (II): to be added
- Chigusa Yamagiri: A fellow Fenix member and close friend of Hiromi since their cadet days. Hiromi had sent Chigusa to the Deadmans as an undercover agent, but became distraught to discover that she had defected to Orteca's side. With Tatsuhiko's encouragement, Hiromi attempted to get Chigusa back to her side, but ended having to avenge her death when she is turned into a Gifftarian by Orteca.
- Yujiro Wakabayashi: Hiromi's mentor during his early cadet days who encouraged Hiromi to continue at Fenix. Ultimately when Hiromi discovered that the Chameleon Deadman had murdered his beloved teacher, he was heartbroken. Hiromi's memories of his mentor would continue to guide him in spirit, especially during the period of time when Hiromi decided to step back from the battlefield after his defeat by Orteca, and during the time Hiromi temporarily returned to his careless old self for the sake of Rumi.
- Ikki Igarashi/Kamen Rider Revi: Initially looking down on Ikki because he is just a civilian, but getting demoted stopped him from doing so. Hiromi would eventually put his trust to Ikki to handle the job which was given to him.
- (Kamen Rider) Vice: As Hiromi frequently partners with Ikki, it also means working together with Vice on fewer occasions. The two had once fought against the Brachio Deadman together while Revi was busy fending off against Evil. Vice was one of the many people to react in horror upon Hiromi's seeming death and later celebrated his return, suggesting that the demon has a degree of respect towards the latter.
- Lovekov: During the Fenix Skybase raid, Hiromi defended Lovekov from being attacked by a mob of Giff Juniors despite not having his driver with him. Despite the two rarely interact, Lovekov admires Hiromi ever since he defended her and is also one of the many people to react with joy upon his return.
Allies[]
- Kagero/Kamen Rider Evil: They don't interact much as Kagero does not have any interest in him. Hiromi sees Kagero as a dangerous threat to the point where he made up his mind to eliminate him even if it implied doing the same to Daiji at the same time. Secretly, this caused him a lot of grief, as revealed when Vice entered his inner mind.
- Weekend:
- Masumi Karizaki: to be added
- Hikaru Ushijima/Kamen Rider Over Demons (I): to be added
- Tasuke Ushijima: to be added.

Enemies[]

- Hideo Akaishi: As Hiromi leaves Fenix, he discovers their director Akaishi was actually Orteca's secret colloborator, realizing that Akaishi is the mastermind behind Fenix's corruption.
- (Kamen Rider) Orteca/Demons (II): Orteca sought to take the Demons Driver from him, knowing how it's affecting his life and unfit to use its power. Successfully he did, after Hiromi resigned from Fenix. Hiromi tries to save Daiji and his siblings, but Orteca ends up blasting him off a cliff before his final words.
- Chameleon Deadman: Hiromi's arch-nemesis. After discovering that the Chameleon Deadman had murdered his teacher, Yujiro Wakabayashi, Hiromi suffered a mental breakdown but later came to personally avenge him.
- (Crimson/Kamen Rider) Vail: The demon of Junpei Shiranami/Genta Igarashi who was sealed by Masumi Karizaki into the Demons Driver. As Hiromi became Demons, Vail slowly drained his life force whenever he transforms and fights in battle. Hiromi's health starts to deteriorate and gives up becoming Demons. Eventually, Vail was reborn, and Hiromi finally meets him in person.

Notes[]
- For trivia regarding Kamen Rider Demons, see Kamen Rider Demons#Notes.
- According to series writer Hanta Kinoshita, Hiromi was originally intended to die after his failed transformation with the Revice Driver in the first episode. However, Kinoshita was impressed with Komatsu's splendid audition and wrote him to be included as a main cast member and eventual Kamen Rider.[7] Additionally, Kinoshita clarified that this was before he had began writing the scripts and no version of them had actually included killing Hiromi whatsoever.[8]
- Kinoshita also revealed a scrapped plot point regarding a younger sister for Hiromi who'd be a Fenix member stationed under Daiji.[9]
