This article is about a rider form used by several identities in the Kamen Rider Series. |
Kamen Rider Kiva (仮面ライダーキバ, Kamen Raidā Kiba, "Masked Rider Kiva") may refer to any the following characters:
History[]
Kiva's Armor (キバの鎧, Kiba no yoroi) was created by the Fangire race as a means to duplicate Kamen Rider Dark Kiva's power without its heavy risks, hence their similar design and abilities. Per the Knight and Pawn's benevolent wishes, Kamen Rider Kiva was also meant to promote peace among the 13 Demon Races, being able to merge itself with beings like the Arm Monsters.[1][2]
Novel[]
In the novel reimagination of the TV series, Kiva is a one of a kind armor implanted inside Wataru, being first activated during Wataru's teenage years. Since Kivat, Basshaa and Dogga do not exist in this story, with Jiro/Garulu solely being a Fangire hunter, Kiva has no additional forms aside from Kivat form. Like the TV version, Kiva has a Rider Kick attack, though it requires no Fuestles to use.
Forms[]
Unlike Dark Kiva, Kamen Rider Kiva has multiple forms that provide different weapons and abilities, each of which is assumed by inserting their respective Fuestles into Kivat's mouth.

Kiva Form (キバフォーム, Kiba Fōmu) is Kiva's base form, accessed through a bite from Kivat, who status determines Kiva's ability in a battle. He is able to see in the dark with his visor called the Omnilens (オムニレンズ, Omunirenzu). In this form, Kiva can use any of the Fuestles, with the Wake Up Fuestle to open up the Catena Chains on his right leg known as the Hell's Gate (ヘルズゲート, Heruzu Gēto) made of Lucifer Metal (ルシファーメタル, Rushifā Metaru) so Kiva can use his Darkness Moon Break (ダークネスムーンブレイク, Dākunesu Mūn Bureiku) attack. The kick has an impact of 30,000 kg., enough to leave a crater in the shape of a bat's wings (Kiva's insignia) on any surface upon contact; the glass body of a Fangire shatters almost instantly.
Kiva can also perform a stronger variation of the Darkness Moon Break when engulfed in Castle Doran's fire. When the Darkness Moon Break is performed, day turns into night and a crescent moon appears in the sky.
In Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva was able to perform the Bloody Punch (ブラッディーパンチ ), which involves Kiva jumping into the air and striking the opponent with a superman punch.

In this form, the Omnilens and Kiva's chest/left arm armor turn a shade of blue called Garulu Cobalt (ガルルコバルト, Garulu Kobaruto) which places Kiva under the influence of Garulu. This form's power is linked to the phases of the moon, and is at its peak when the moon is naturally full.
The Garulu Form is capable of unleashing a blast of sound, has increased speed and cunning due to the form's animalistic ferocity and is able to perform the Garulu Howling Slash (ガルル・ハウリングスラッシュ, Garuru Hauringu Surasshu).
When it is performed, day turns to night and a full moon appears in the sky, as it references a human's transformation into a werewolf. Its motif is that of a Wolf Man (狼男, ōkami-otoko).
In Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva in Garuru Form is able to perform the Wolfen Full Moon - a powerful slash from the Garulu Saber backed by the moon's power.

Basshaa Form (バッシャーフォーム, Basshā Fōmu) is Kiva's form accessed from the Basshaa Fuestle and granting him access to the Demon Sea Gun Basshaa Magnum. In this form, the Omnilens and Kiva's chest/right arm armor turn a shade of green called Basshaa Emerald (バッシャーエメラルド, Basshā Emerarudo) which places Kiva under the influence of Basshaa.
While in this state, Kiva loses most of his strength and agility, but gains mastery of long-range combat and is able to analyze an opponent's weak point to target with accurate marksmanship. Basshaa Form can also manipulate water, able to create rain as well as a pool of water necessary to perform the Basshaa Aqua Tornado (バッシャー・アクアトルネード, Basshā Akua Torunēdo).
When it is performed, day turns to night and a half-moon forms in the sky, as it references the change ebb and flow of the tides during its phase.
Its motif is that of the Gill-man (半魚人, Hangyojin).
In Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva in Basshaa Form is able to perform the Basshaa Finger - an attack that consists of quick pulling on the Basshaa Magnum's hammer to launch fast and powerful water projectiles.
Basshaa Form's ending theme is entitled "Innocent Trap".

In this form, Kiva's entire upper body gains bulky armor and the Omnilens turn a shade of violet called Dogga Purple (ドッガパープル, Dogga Pāpuru), placing Kiva under Dogga's influence.
In this form, Kiva loses most of his speed but gains unbelievable strength, able to overpower a Fangire easily. Dogga Form is able to manipulate electricity, using it as part of his finisher, the Dogga Thunder Slap (ドッガ・サンダースラップ ). The Dogga Hammer can see through the invisibility of Fangires, thanks to the True Eye gaffed into the warhammer.
When it is performed, day turns to night while a hazy moon and thunderbolt form in the sky, the latter referencing its motif of Frankenstein's monster (フランケンシュタインの人造人間, Furankenshutain no jinzō ningen) and how it was brought to life.
In Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva in Dogga Form is able to perform the Armor Hammer - a powerful hammer strike from Kiva with his Dogga Arm.

In this form, Kiva's left arm turns into the Garulu Arm (ガルルアーム, Garuru Āmu), his right arm turns into the Basshaa Arm (バッシャーアーム, Basshā Āmu), and his upper body turns into the Dogga Breast (ドッガブレスト, Dogga Buresuto). In this form, Kiva can use all three Arms Monster weapons at once and the Darkness Moon Break. However, due to the danger it presents to Kiva and the Arms Monsters, Kiva can only assume this form for five minutes before its power becomes lethal to him.
In Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva in DoGaBaKi Form is able to perform the Gate Crasher - A powerful slash with the Garulu Saber enforced from the brute strength of DoGaBaKi Form.

Emperor Form (エンペラーフォーム, Enperā Fōmu) is the true form of Kiva, referred to as the Golden Kiva (黄金のキバ, Ōgon no Kiba). By pulling the switch on Tatsulot's head, Wataru can activate Tatsulot's Imperial Slot (インペリアルスロット, Inperiaru Surotto) and activate one of several "Fever" finishing attacks through a roulette system. With this form, Kiva can destroy both the body and the soul of a Fangire. From its overall superior, Wataru immediately abandoned using his other forms upon gaining Emperor Form. Emperor Form initially appeared in promotions for Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World at the Tokyo Toy Show 2008.
Notably, Emperor Form's strength is highly dependant on Wataru's own determination, having fluctuated greatly throughout the story. At Wataru's lowest point, Emperor form can potentially become even weaker than Kivat form, being defeated Otoya as Ixa Save Mode at one point. Once Wataru had fully overcome his inner weakness though, Emperor form grew powerful enough to rival Dark Kiva, the latter its definite superior in designed capabilities.
In episode 39 this form went into Emperor Form (Rampage)[15] (エンペラーフォーム(暴走), Enperā Fōmu (Bōsō)), the Fangire influenced version of Emperor Form. When Wataru's Fangire blood is awakened by the Swallowtail Fangire he temporarily became a Fangire version of Emperor Form gaining the Fangire's signature stained glass appearance and becoming a berserker attacking friend or foe. This caused Wataru to go into isolation until encouraged to fight again.
On the album SUPERNOVA by TETRA-FANG, Emperor Form is referred to as "Empire form."
Emperor Form's ending theme, entitled "Supernova", also doubles as the ending theme for Kamen Rider Dark Kiva.
- "Garulu Saber! Next is Basshaa Magnum! And Dogga Hammer! Henshin!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
DoGaBaKi Emperor Form (ドガバキエンペラーフォーム, Dogabaki Enperā Fōmu) is actually a true final form of Emperor Form seen the Hyper Battle DVD, when Kiva accesses Emperor Form while in DoGaBaKi Form. In this form, Kiva can use all three Arms Monster weapons and execute the DoGaBaKi Emperor Break (ドガバキエンペラーレイク, Dogabaki Enperā Bureiku).[16]
This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider Kiva: You Can Also be Kiva.
- Height: 1.8 m
- Weight: 100 kg
- Wingspan: 3.8 m
- Ability Parameters
- Punching Power: 10 t.
- Kicking Power: 18 t.
- Maximum Jump Height: ∞ m (Able to fly)
- Maximum Flight Speed: Mach 3.4
Resulting from infusing his own desire into the Bloody Rose, Wataru's Fangire nature is triggered as Kiva transforms from Emperor Form into Flight Style (飛翔態, Hishōtai), a dragon-like form called the Emperor Bat (エンペラーバット, Enperā Batto) which is similar to the Fangires' ability to become Six Pillars Sabbaths.
In Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World, Arc uses his Legendorga baptism to turn Wataru from a Human/Fangire hybrid into a full Legendorga by forcing him to assume the form in an attempt to kill his father, Otoya Kurenai, though his father managed to bring him back with Wataru reverts back to his Human/Fangire hybrid. Wataru later re-accesses Flight Style to defeat the giant Rider. Ironically, the Legendorga version of Flight Style has a darker color scheme as its golden accent turns brown and the red color on his wing turns from red into maroon.
Flight Style uses the blades on his wings called the Sonic Claws (ソニッククロー, Sonikku Kurō) to perform the Demon Pliers (デモンプライヤー, Demon Puraiyā) attack and breathes the Hell's Flame (ヘルズフレイム, Heruzu Fureimu) from his Big Jaw (ビッグジョー, Biggu Jō). These abilities come into play for its finishing attack, the Bloody Strike (ブラッディストライク, Buraddi Sutoraiku).

Behind the Scenes[]
Etymology[]
"Kiva" is an abbreviation for "KING OF VAMPIRE", which plays in Kiva's connections to the Fangire King. The Japanese name also comes from a reading for the word "fang" (牙, kiba).
Notes[]
- Both Flight Style and DoGaBaKi Emperor Form, which are evolutions of his Emperor Form, serve as precursors to the "Extra Final Form", which would respectively be followed by Kuuga and Den-O outside of their series.
- Among all primary Riders from the Heisei era, Kiva's main form has the slowest running speed; an irony when regarding his usual agile movements in combat.
- Strangely, despite its official role as the successor of Dark Kiva, neither the King nor Bishop seem to recognize Kamen Rider Kiva at first glance, the latter even outright referring to it as a "fake" Kiva at one point toward Taiga.
- The weight of the Kiva suit is often falsely attributed to an inclusion of real iron chains on the shoulder and leg pieces, which are actually made of urethane like the rest of the suit and are made to be very light weight. The only real pieces of metal on the suit are the painted "Catena" (Italian for chain) on the sides of the belt. [21]
