Igor

This article is about a monster in Kamen Rider Ghost.

Template:Characterinfo Igor (イゴール, Igōru) is a scientist from the World of Gamma. Like Jabel, he is also a Gamma Superior. He has a black-colored wrist device called Proto Mega Ulorder which allows him to channel the power of Eyecons.

Making a rival of Akari Tsukimura, she refers to him as "KMS" (ケイエムエス, Kei Emu Esu), an abbreviated nickname she coined from Kanpekinaru Mad Scientist (完璧なる・マッド・サイエンティスト, Kanpekinaru Maddo Saientisuto, Perfectionalist Mad Scientist). ^{[Explosion! Paint From Your Heart!]}

Character History

Igor first appears at Adel's side in the world of the Gamma as he observes Alain using the Kamen Rider Necrom system in the human world. ^{[Perfect! The White Kamen Rider!]} With the Knife Gamma, Igor plotted to steal human souls in his container for unknown reasons.

Following Alain's reduction to his flesh body and banishment from the Gamma World by Adel, Igor sends a force of Gamma Commandos led by the reincarnated Machine Gun Gamma and Seiryuto Gamma to kill him, only for them to be all destroyed by Kamen Rider Ghost. ^{[Appearance! The Mysterious Warrior!]}

Personality

Igor is a Gamma scientist whom values his study greatly and debunks any kind of supernatural presence, making him as a Gamma counterpart to Akari. Like most Gammas, he also has a great sense of disgust towards humans and sees their lives "invaluable".

Igor only believes in his own philosophy and claimed anyone who objected his beliefs to be idiots. He will use any means to achieve his goal, including dirty and unfair tactics.

Powers and Abilities

While Igor is a talented scientist, he is not very good at hand-to-hand combat, as shown when Jabel even in his basic Superior form was able to defeat Igor in his advanced Knife form.

Ganma Hole creation

As a Gamma, Igor possesses the ability to create miniature Gamma Holes by merely pointing and making the shape of an eye with his hand, allowing him to travel from his own world to the human world and back.

Portrayal

Igor is portrayed by Hiroshi Yamamoto (山本 浩司, Yamamoto Hiroshi). As the Gamma Superior, his suit actor is Yuya Nawata (縄田 雄哉, Nawata Yūya).

Etymology

Igor's name comes from a hunchbacked stock character from the classic Universal Monster horror movies. The character originally was named Fritz in the 1931 film classic Frankenstein, but the character's name was later changed to "Ygor" and then "Igor" in later Frankenstein films. Despite popular belief, there was no Igor or lab assistant in the original 1818 novel by Mary Shelly.

Notes

• The first letters of the three Gamma Eyecons Igor uses (Knife, Machine Gun, Seiryuto) also make out "KMS", his nickname.
