Kiyojiro Bando (阪東 清治郎, Bandō Kiyojirō) is the owner of Drupers.

History

When Zawame City had been labelled as no man's land and the whole world had been invaded by Inves, Bando refused to evacuate into a shelter, given that Kouta and Mai are still "his workers". Until the JDSF arrives to evacuate Oren, Bando, Peko, Chucky, Jonouchi and Akira into the unknown location, which forces Bando to temporarily close Drupers.

3 months later after the end of Helheim Invasion, Drupers is re-opened and Bando continues to operate. Also, he is having a friendly partnership with Oren's Charmant. During the events of Movie War Full Throttle, Bando is trying to unsuccessfully impress Oren with a new fruit desert. Suddenly, he is one of the witnesses of Kouta's defeat.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Kiyojiro Bando is portrayed by Tomohisa Yuge (弓削 智久, Yuge Tomohisa), who previously portrayed Goro Yura in Kamen Rider Ryuki and Masato Mishima in Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Notes

• Kiyojiro referenced Yuge's previous roles in Episode 16 when he said "You know, I have experienced a lot too!". where he ironically discusses the importance of responsibility when gaining a great power despite Masato having become the Gryllus Worm due to his hungry desire for greater power.
• Kiyojiro did not exist in the original planning stages of Gaim according to Gen Urobuchi, as most of the cast was meant to be young men and women with little to no prior acting experience. However at the request of the show's producers Naomi Takebe and Ryuta Tasaki, an adult character was introduced with an experience actor in the role.
