"Because I'm well-trained..."

―Hibiki's trademark modest response to compliments or questions^[src]

Kamen Rider Hibiki (仮面ライダー響鬼［ヒビキ］, Kamen Raidā Hibiki, lit "Masked Rider Echoing Demon") is the eponymous and lead protagonist of the Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Hibiki. As an Oni, he is solely known as Hibiki (ヒビキ, Hibiki), but his original name is Hitoshi Hidaka (日高仁志, Hidaka Hitoshi).

Personality

He is one of the most seasoned Oni currently in service. It is not known exactly when he began his training, but it is said that Hibiki became an Oni training alone and has surpassed all former Oni by being the first to wield the Armed Saber. Hibiki has a strong sense of ethics and believes constantly training oneself to keep up their strength. Throughout the series he is seen training by himself and with other Oni. He is seen as somewhat of a teacher by other Oni, even though Hibiki sees himself as just another fighter in the war against the Makamou. Due to his training, he is seldom seen worrying, he believes that with constant training, he will always come out on top and does not need to worry about his safety. It seems that his hobby is in fact, training. His trademark is his special salute which he uses equally as a greeting (usually with a 'Yo!') or a farewell.

History

TV Series

Hibiki is a calm and nonchalant Oni. At age 31, he is the oldest Oni of the core three (the fourth oldest Oni in Kanto). Not much is known about his past, but when he was young, he appeared to act the same as Asumu. He had worries and doubts and wanted to protect his friends, which is what led to him becoming an Oni. He takes Asumu under his wing and helps him and gives him advice when needed. Of the three main riders, Hibiki is the most experienced, even though he says otherwise, he is the wisest of the current Oni and his friends look up to him as if he were a teacher. He and Midori, Takeshi's weapon designer, have been friends since they were children. As an Oni, his supporters are Kasumi Tachibana and Hinaka Tachibana. They often take him to the Makamou's locations until he learns how to ride a motorbike and gets his own bike.

Hibikii 2 — Hibiki talks to Asumu at dawn

Hibiki meets Asumu on a cruise ship to Yakushima Island where he saves a young boy from falling off the ship. On the island, they meet once again before parting ways. Asumu later leaves his family and travels by car into the mountains for sightseeing, only to be attacked by Tsuchigumo. Hibiki saves Asumu but afterwards, he sees Hibiki transform into an oni and he is interested in Hibiki ever since. But, after the incident, Asumu has little confidence in passing his exams to get into Jonan High and often seeks advice from Hibiki.

"What you believe in that is the first step in being your real self"

―Hibiki's advice for Asumu at Yakushima^[src]

Hibiki is close to Ibuki and his student Akira. They usually meet, talk together and collaborate to fight Makamou together. Hibiki is also close with Zanki and Todoroki. He was surprised and regretted when Zanki proclaimed that he gave up working as an Oni. Then, Hibiki encouraged Todoroki to do well in his first battle as an independent Oni. As a trio, Hibiki, Ibuki, and Todoroki often support each other in their duties

On the summer days, Hibiki has to fight against the Summer Makamou and helps Todoroki in his Taiko-training. He also trains hard and reaches his Kurenai form. In Kurenai form, Hibiki's power is nearly doubled from that of his basic form could easily defeat many different types of Makamou with a single strike in this form.

Hibiki doesn't understand technology very much. he doesn't know how to send an email by computer, even that he doesn't know how to use the computer. He doesn't have his own cell phone, he can't communicate with the others when he is outside, he usually uses Kasumi's phone or public telephone to make a call. At first, he also doesn't have his own bike and he can't ride a bike at all. After that, he thinks riding a bike is cool and really useful. He decides to learn riding bike and gets his Gaika.

When Kogure appears, he gives Hibiki a hard time in training. Wanting Hibiki to be stronger than he is, he pushes him as hard as he can. Hibiki, although on friendly terms with Kogure, was still one of the first to encounter his eccentric form of training. Kogure then reveals his training is meant to allow Hibiki to wield the Armed Saber, a weapon that will allow him to become even more powerful than his Kurenai form. During a battle later on, Todoroki uses the Armed Saber and is sent flying by its power. In an act of desperation, Hibiki picks the saber up an attempts to use it, only to meet the same result as Todoroki.

The two Oni then lose the ability to transform. In the past when this has happened, Oni were unable to ever regain their powers, but as Danki and Shouki revealed, when Kogure used them as his guinea pigs, if an Oni is put through intense training, their powers will eventually return. Danki and Shouki regain their powers after a month of training, a time frame that Hibiki needed to beat. Through his training with Kogure, Hibiki, along with Todoroki, regain their powers.

In the next battle after regaining their powers, Hibiki and Todoroki are pit against one of the strongest known Makamou. A three-headed gigantic demon whose sole purpose is to kill. Kogure appears and throws Hibiki the Armed Saber, telling him that it was always destined to be used by him and that it will unlock his true power. A hesitant Hibiki finally uses the saber and easily defeats the Makamou.

During the second half of the series, Hibiki meets another boy named Kyosuke Kiriya. Kyosuke is estranged from his father and when he meets Hibiki, he begins pursuing him to allow him to be his student. Only knowing what his father had done in life, Kyosuke sees becoming an Oni as his chance to be greater than his father. Hibiki claims this was a selfish reason for wanting to be an Oni and won't allow him to become his student, but Kyosuke is adamant about becoming his student. Eventually, Kyosuke's rivalry with Asumu becomes a partnership as the two begin pledging to Hibiki to allow them to become his students.

Unsure of his skills as a teacher and not wanting to lose another student as he once did, Hibiki denies every plea they make. Later on when Akira Amami gives up being a student of Ibuki, she persuades Hibiki to let Asumu and Kyosuke become his students. Under Hibiki, Asumu was the better student with Kyosuke struggling in nearly every training session. Even though Asumu was clearly better physically suited to be an Oni, he was not in the right mindset to be one. Hibiki talks Asumu into him continuing to be his student. For a while longer, the three continue their training before Hibiki finally realizes that Asumu's place in this world is not as an Oni. He allows Asumu to quit but feels great regret for being the one to push him to stay his student.

"I decided that I would do my best to help people. That's why I became an Oni. To save people, and then live my life to the fullest, to save people, and then live my life to the fullest again. From now to forever, this is how I want to live."

―Hibiki shares his thought with Midori about his future life^[src]

Hibiki always works well in his role as an Oni during the Orochi. He sees Todoroki's grief about his body and Zanki, he gives Todoroki advice to make him more optimistic. After Ibuki is chosen to perform the Orochi sealing, a task that Hibiki feels Ibuki is not ready for, Hibiki sees Ibuki's recognition with Kasumi that he wishes to live life as long as he can be with her. So Hibiki decides to take Ibuki's place as the Oni perform the Orochi sealing. During the sealing, Hibiki has to fight against a lot of Makamou. Ibuki and Todoroki arrive to support him. While beating the special rock to seal Orochi, Hibiki loses his Rekka. However, Kyosuke arrives, takes the Rekka and throws it to Hibiki which he continues with his duty.

Hibiki AsumuEND — Hibiki and Asumu at the end of series.

Following the great battle against the Makamou in the "Orochi sealing", Hibiki and Asumu have lost touch with each other and share some awkward moments when they meet each other at a hospital that Asumu works at a year later. In the end, Hibiki and Asumu reconnect with each other. Hibiki says that even though he cannot be Asumu's mentor as an Oni, he can be his mentor in life and help him be a better person. The two watch a sunrise as they remember their first meeting and Hibiki reveals to Asumu that he was his apprentice from the start, with Asumu agreeing to stay by Hibiki's side despite choosing not to become an Oni himself.

Kamen Rider Hibiki & The Seven Senki

Hibikisoukou — Hibiki after defeating Orochi

Hibiki and Asumu are on their way to a Makamou attack on the beach. Once they arrive there, they see dozens of people running from the massive Orochi, a beast rumored to be the strongest Makamou ever created. Once they arrive, Hibiki walks towards the Orochi and transforms, but all of his attacks prove useless against Orochi. The situation is made even direr when Hibiki jumps in the way of an attack meant for Asumu. Taking the full force of the attack, Hibiki passes out as the Orochi swims away, leaving a panicking Asumu to get help. Hibiki ends up in the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Hibiki is well and fighting Orochi again. Apparently knowing where the Armed Saber is, Asumu heads off to a cave and finds it in there. He gives Hibiki the blade in the middle of the battle with the Orochi. Hibiki is able to become Armed Hibiki and defeats the Orochi.

Super Hero Taisen GP Kamen Rider 3

Due to the timeline alteration caused by Shocker, Hibiki became one of the brainwashed Riders in that timeline, donning the name of Shocker Rider Hibiki. Alongside Agito Burning and Decade, Hibiki joined Skyrider, Super-1, ZX and the Shocker Combatmen against the double agent Kamen Rider 3, providing his Ongekibou Rekka in a combined projectile assault before proceeding to physically overwhelm Rider 3 as he allowed Mach to escape.

Following the Rider Grand Prix in which Drive emerged victorious over Rider 3, who was promptly integrated into the Great Leader of Shocker's Rider Robo form, Hibiki was among the Riders who appeared to attack Zeronos Zero Form and Denebick Buster only to be fought off by the turncoat BOARD Riders: Chalice, Leangle, Blade and Garren. Ultimately, the Double Riders 1 and 2 made their appearance having survived their apparent demise from within the Rider Robo, and broke Shocker's brainwashing on the fallen Riders, enabling all Riders to unite in a final battle against Shocker.

Unfortunately, Hibiki was among the Riders whose existence was erased by the Rider Robo. This fate, however, was rendered moot when the Rider Robo was finally destroyed by Shurikenjin Tridoron, restoring Hibiki's place in history.

Despite not appearing in the web-exclusive series, Hibiki and 13 Heisei Riders were the projections of the Ganbarizing Critical Strike.

Maximum Running Speed: 1 chō per 3 sec.^[1] (approx. 100 m. per 2.8 sec., one say 3 sec.^[1])

In this form, Hibiki is a purple demon. This is his basic form and the easiest form for him to reach. To become this form, Hibiki simply needs to tap his tuning fork against a solid surface, the vibrations from the fork causing his body to be engulfed in a fiery purple aura. Hibiki also gains a second "oni face" which is a crest that forms on his forehead. Unlike most Kamen Riders, Hibiki does not wear a suit; rather his demon form is his true form.

Hibiki Kurenai (incomplete).

Hibiki's second form, also known as Hibiki Kurenai (響鬼［ヒビキ］紅, Hibiki Kurenai), was reached during the summer of training. It is exactly the same in appearance as his original form except that it is red instead of purple, and the face possesses a white plate-like mouth guard, with the "eyes" appearing black. Hibiki learned that he would be able to go beyond his basic form during the summer. At first, he was unable to reach this form completely, only able to transform his arms when under attack. This greatly drained him and caused him to begin tougher training.

After an attack by a group of Summer Makamou, Hibiki finally reached this form mid-battle. His body froze as red fumes raised up from the ground and caused his body to change. In this form, Hibiki's powers are all nearly doubled from that of his basic form. He can easily defeat many different types of Makamou with a single strike in this form.

The third and final form Hibiki was able to reach is known as Armed Hibiki (装甲響鬼［アームドヒビキ］, Āmudo Hibiki). Unlike Kurenai Form that simply changes colors, the armor pieces of equipment here are much greater. To reach this form, Hibiki must use the Armed Saber, also serving as a weapon in this form. When initiating the call "Hibiki Sōkō!" (響鬼装甲, "Hibiki Sōkō!") then hits the button on the bottom of the Armed Saber, Hibiki automatically assumes Kurenai Form, then is wreathed in fire. Hibiki calls upon the power of the Disk Animals to fuse with him, each becoming armor for his form. Finally, his oni face is covered with a samurai-like shield and his horns expand. Hibiki is able to destroy most lower-leveled Makamou with little to no effort in this form.

Attacks

Hibiki has a variety of attacking styles, ranging from small one-handed beats to more complicated Armed Saber techniques. Each attack can only be wielded in certain forms, making each upgrade somewhat of a disadvantage as with the gain the power results in a loss of available attacks.

As a Taiko-type Fire Oni, Hibiki's most used Ongeki (音撃, Ongeki "Sound Attack") techniques are those of the Ongeki Da (音撃打, Ongeki Da lit. "Sound Attack Stroke") style.

Kihōjutsu: Onibi (鬼法術・鬼火, Kihōjutsu: Onibi lit. "Demon Art Technique: Demon Fire"): Hibiki's mask forms a mouth to shoot a torrent of powerful purple flames to incinerate a humanoid Makamou.
Kitōjutsu: Onizume (鬼闘術・鬼爪, Kitōjutsu: Onizume lit. "Demon Fighting Technique: Demon Claw"): Forms claws from his hands to stab and slash at Makamou. These claws are nearly unbreakable, thus making them one of Hibiki's most useful weapons.
Kibōjutsu: Rekkadan (鬼棒術・烈火弾, Kibōjutsu: Rekkadan lit. "Demon Club Technique: Raging Fire Bullet"): Hibiki charges his drumsticks with power, igniting the tops with flames creating a torch-like weapon, which then shoots fireballs from each one at a target.
Kibōjutsu: Rekkaken (鬼棒術・烈火剣, Kibōjutsu: Rekkaken lit. "Demon Club Technique: Raging Fire Sword"): Hibiki charges one or two of his drumsticks with power, creating a flaming blade from the top to slash at enemies.
Takeshishiki Onike (猛士式鬼蹴, Takeshishiki Onike lit. "Violent Expression Demon Kick"): Hibiki's version of the traditional Rider Kick^[3]. Hibiki charges his foot with power and strikes the target with it. Usually preceded by a high jump, adding the power of the fall to the attack. A purple light might appear around the charged foot. In the Hibiki series itself, there was only a standard jumping kick mimicking the motion of a Rider Kick, not recognized as an actual special technique. However, in later appearances, most notably Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, but also in episode 31 of the Kamen Rider Decade TV series, with the alternate Kamen Rider Hibiki, Hibiki's actual Rider Kick technique was shown.
Takeshishiki Onike: Tsui no Kata (猛士式鬼蹴・終の型, Takeshishiki Onike: Tsui no Kata lit. "Violent Expression Demon Kick: Final Style") Hibiki's version of the traditional Rider Kick while in the Armed Form ^[4]. It was seen for the first time in the final episode of Kamen Rider Wizard, Neverending Story.

- Ongeki Da: Bakuretsu Shinku no Kata (音撃打・爆裂真紅の型, Ongeki Da: Bakuretsu Shinku no Kata lit. "Sound Attack Stroke: the Explosive True Crimson Style") Hibiki uses his Bakuretsu Kaentsuzumi in his Kurenai form, then pounds away in a very fast rhythm. This is Hibiki's strongest Ongeki Da.
Armed Hibiki
- Ongeki Ha: Kishin Kakusei (音撃刃・鬼神覚声, Ongeki Ha: Kishin Kakusei lit. "Sound Attack Blade: Fierce Demon Arousal") There are three variations of this attack. First, a gigantic blade of fire protrudes from the blade of the Armed Saber, which can extend to over 100 feet in length, allowing for powerful long-range attacks. Secondly, a crimson cyclone that can sweep many Makamou in a single attack. Lastly, a fiery sword beam that can cut into even the toughest of Makamou.

Rider Cards

Several Rider Cards allow Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade to access the power of Hibiki.

Transforms Decade into Hibiki, used once before its power is sealed.^{[Rider War (episode)]} Its silhouette turned black after Hibiki's metamorphosis into Gyūki.^{[Idle Hibiki]} Regained after Asumu becomes Hibiki and Tsukasa learns the true meaning of the Ongekidō.^{[Ending Journey]}

These cards allow Decade to perform any of their own attacks, Decade is also able to use any signature attacks of whatever Kamen Rider he has transformed into.

- Ongekibou - Rekka: As Hibiki, Decade conjures up two drumsticks to charge them with power and use the finisher Kiboujutsu Rekkadan, igniting the tops with flames, creating torch-like weapons that shoot fireballs to incinerate targets. Decade's fireballs are powerful enough to destroy giant Makamou as well.
- Onibi: As Hibiki, Decade exhales a stream of hot flames through a mouth that forms from the mask.

When Kamen Rider Decade is in his Complete Form, he uses the K-Touch to summon the Final Forms of the Nine Heisei Riders. After he presses the Rider's symbol, a card of that Rider's Final Form appears in a set of nine on Kamen Rider Decade's chest. The Hibiki Armed card summons Kamen Rider Armed Hibiki, armed with the Armed Saber. Using the Hibiki Final AttackRide card allows Decade to execute an Ongeki Ha: Kishin Kakusei-style slash alongside Armed Hibiki.

The Hibiki Ongekiko card transforms Hibiki into the Hibiki Akanetaka, a giant version of the Akanetaka Disk Animal.

With Hibiki Ongekiko, Decade performs the Decade Wave, where Hibiki Akanetaka transforms into the Hibiki Ongekiko and attaches to the target and allows Decade to perform his version of an Ongeki Da finisher using Hibiki's Ongekibou Rekka.
