Kaoru Kino (木野 薫, Kino Kaoru) was a disgraced surgeon who transformed into Kamen Rider Another Agito (仮面ライダーアナザーアギト, Kamen Raidā Anazā Agito, Masked Rider Another Agito).
Biography[]
Kamen Rider Agito[]
He was a surgical genius, but an accident on a snowy mountain range would ruin his career and claimed the life of his younger brother, Masato. The incident left his right arm with severe frostbite, which ultimately had to be amputated. Ironically, surgeons would replace Kino's arm with that of his deceased brother. The traumatic event would have long-standing ramifications on his psychological and emotional health that would last for years.
Kino would eventually find himself involved in the incident aboard the “Akatsuki” and were among those individuals awakened by the OverLord of Light. Over time, his powers would mature, enabling him to transform into "Another Agito". Unfortunately, this power would further escalate Kino's manic mental state into grandiose delusions, becoming convinced that he alone could defeat the Lord threat. His delusions ultimately motivated him to try and eliminate Shoichi Tsugami, the primary Kamen Rider Agito. Though the actions of his brother's arm would occasionally interfere, it wasn't until his defeat at the hands of Kamen Rider Exceed Gills that Kino became humbled. From that point on, he would aid the other Riders, even after the Overlord stole his power.
He later performed a small surgery on Shoichi in attempt to remove the quill of Ericius Liquor from his body, during this Kino admitted that he had become corrupted not because of the Agito power, but rather his own weakness as a human being. After that Kino was able to recover his power thanks to Shoichi and help the group defeat the Ericius Liquor. After the fight, Kino goes with both Majima and Ryo for a cup of coffee, and encourages Majima that he can become a Doctor before finally dying from the injuries sustained by Falco earlier. However he died with a smiling face, after dreaming of being able to save his brother during the snow-mountain accident.

Notes[]
Kamen Rider Another Agito
- "Another Agito" was originally short for Another Kamen Rider Agito.[4] However, this name was eventually phased out in favor of Kamen Rider Another Agito, as seen in Kamen Rider Buttobasoul and Kamen Rider Official's Zukan [5]
- This name is now cemented due to the appearance of the Another Rider Another Agito[6] and his Ride Chemy Card.
Another Agito in Makoto Hikawa's perspective.
- According to the information provided by Heisei Kamen Rider 20 Official Site, Kino's Rider appearance is different depending on the person. For example, Another Agito appeared to be the same as Shoichi's Agito form with Makoto Hikawa/Kamen Rider G3 looking at him because Hikawa has a "pure heart".[7]
- This would explain why Hikawa originally thought Kino was the Agito who was helping him all this time until he later found out Shoichi was Agito.
- Unlike the conventional green or blue-colored protective clothing and mask worn by surgeons, Kino's scrubs and mask are black.
- A new suit for Another Agito was made for his reappearance in Kamen Sentai Gorider due to the original one being damaged by oxidation and corrosion.[Citation needed]
