This article is about a transformation device/ally in Kamen Rider Decade. |
Kiva-la (キバーラ, Kibāra) is a white-colored female Kivat originally from Kiva's World, where she is Kivat-Bat the 3rd's younger sister. She is also the key to Kamen Rider Kiva-la.
Personality[]
Kiva-la's personality is easily described as mysterious. At times she aids the protagonists, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them, while other times she secretly works against them.
Kiva-la is generally rather laid-back and mischievous, switching between spending time with Narutaki and spending time with Tsukasa Kadoya and his group. To add onto her mischievous nature, Kiva-la tends to be rather flirtatious at times. However, this does not mean that she is completely two faced, as there are many moments where she genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with certain individuals, especially with Yusuke Onodera and Eijiro Hikari.
Speaking of Yusuke, Kiva-la also appears to have a rather romantic, yet somewhat clingy, side. This is seen most clearly with Yusuke, who she appears to "flirt" with, even calling him "sexy" while looking at his photo and his poses in the mirror while in the World of Diend. She was also genuinely distraught when he initially decided to stay in the World of Agito and was overjoyed when he finally decided to once again join Tsukasa's group. In fact, her attachment to Yusuke is so strong that it almost appears to be genuine love for him, as she was quite happy when Yusuke spoiled her with massages and pats after being operated on in the World of Diend. Due to the fact that she did not know he was acting out of mental conditioning, Kiva-la thought that Yusuke was simply being extra kind to her. So, when he was brought back to normal and stopped spoiling her, Kiva-la was genuinely confused and distraught, to the point where she accuses Yusuke of seeing "another woman". However, the degree of attachment she feels for Yusuke is questionable, as not only was she unphased by his death, but she even took delight in reviving him as a berserk Ultimate Kuuga.
History[]
She is extremely tiny, small enough to be hidden in an adult's closed fist. She learns of Tsukasa from Narutaki and uses her power to bring Yusuke into her world, and then sends Tsukasa into another to do battle with Kaixa. She later ends up traveling with the Hikari Studio, though remaining in contact with Narutaki with only Natsumi aware of it. She seems to like Yusuke the most out of the traveling group as she is delighted when he returns to travel with them after they leave the World of Agito.
In the World of Hibiki, she assists Kamen Rider Ouja in summoning a Bakegani to be used on Decade as Gyuki was not getting the job done, placing her overall goals further into question.
In Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010, Kiva-la is revealed to be the means for Natsumi to assume her Kamen Rider form: Kamen Rider Kiva-la. It can be assumed that she is now a full ally to the group after these events.
In Kamen Rider Decade: Final Stage, she shows the ability to reverse time, twice, in order to help Tsukasa preventing the rampage of Diend.
