History[]
Kamen Rider Kiva[]
Suite: Father/Son Violin[]
In 1986, Yuri Aso is ordered by Mamoru Shima to protect Hitomi Miyazawa, until she realizes that she is the Fangire. Her abilities include shooting ink-balls from her mouth, releasing tentacles from her body, and morphing her feet into skates. After her violin is damaged in the fight with Yuri, Hitomi is forced to go into hiding as Otoya refuses to help her anymore as she utilized his teachings in a perverted way. Later in 2008, Hitomi gets Wataru Kurenai to repair her violin, targeting Megumi Aso for her mother's actions against her, but Kiva's interference gives her time to destroy the violin. The Octopus Fangire attempts to flee but ends up being outmatched by Kiva and destroyed before being sealed in Castle Doran. [Suite: Father/Son Violin]
