 This article is about a villain in Kamen Rider 555.
|
Kitazaki (北崎) was the human form of the Dragon Orphnoch (ドラゴンオルフェノク, Doragon Orufenoku), the most powerful and youngest of Lucky Clover. Following the death of Saya Kimura, he was the main user of the Delta Gear before growing bored of the gear and abandoning it.
An android replica of him was created under the alias Nozomi Kitazaki (北崎 望, Kitazaki Nozomi).
History[]
Kitazaki is the one who killed the members of Ryusei School as the Dragon Orphnoch. He then appeared to the reformed resistance as Kamen Rider Delta and suffered his first loss to Takumi as Kamen Rider Faiz, which then fueled a desire for payback. He would then fight against Takumi and his comrades while also conflicting with members of his own group.
When Teruo is revealed to be the Orphnoch King, Kitazaki decided to prove his strength by killing Teruo while also fighting against his former comrades. In the end, when the Orphnoch King was fully awakened, a weakened and terrified Kitazaki was killed by the Orphnoch King, before his face was torn off and eaten by the monster, the rest of his body following afterwards.
Personality[]
Kitazaki is very arrogant, violent and self-absorbed, often referring to himself as the 'strongest lifeform' due to his abilities. These talents also made Kitazaki withdrawn from society and have a childish outlook on the suffering of others as fun.
He appears to tire of things that are considered addictive like the Delta Gear. Kitazaki had a flawless victory streak until he battled Takumi Inui as Kamen Rider Faiz and suffered his first loss, driving him more insane. He would occasionally use his ability to turn people to ash to bully and tease Itsuro Takuma. By episode 49, he was intent on killing Teruo Suzuki, who was revealed to be the Arch Orphnoch, to prove his superiority, with his comrades Saeko Kageyama and Takuma forced to fight him to protect the boy.
