Icon-kivaThis article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Kiva.

For the A.R World version, see Otoya Kurenai (A.R. World).

Otoya Kurenai (紅 音也, Kurenai Otoya) is the father of Wataru Kurenai and a talented violinist. In 1986, he was the primary user of the original IXA system. Otoya was notable for being the only human to transform into Kamen Rider Dark Kiva, although the strain from doing so cost him his life.

History[]

Otoya Kurnai was a professional violinist who retired for reasons unknown. Though normally a casanova, Otoya was vexed on anything marriage related, things always staying the same, and others getting in his way. In 1986, Otoya accidently interfered in Yuri Aso's mission and learned the existence of the Fangire Race, leading to his technical membership of the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization.

He was the first to learn Jiro is actually a Wolfen, although no one believes him until later when Jiro threatened Yuri and reveals himself. He then becomes the second user of the Ixa System when Jiro was exposed, putting up a front of not suffering the suit's side effects. Otoya was also capable of reasoning with Fangires and the other Demonic Races who are not truly evil. He befriended the Frog Fangire, Omura, and as convinces him not to harm others. Despite initally coming with the trio, Otoya managed to earn the respect by the Arm Monsters.

During his battle with the Fangire Race, Otoya falls in love with Maya, the original Queen of the Checkmate Four, resulting in the chain of events that led to him becoming the second Dark Kiva after forming a pact with Kivat-Bat the 2nd to take on the Fangires' King. Otoya, with help from a time-traveling Wataru, succeeds in destroying the King at the cost of being on the verge of death due to the strain of wielding Kiva's power. After assuring Wataru along with Maya before parting with him, Otoya would then pay final visits to his friends Yuri and the Arms Monsters (seemingly as a ghost) before finally dying in Maya's arms after playing her favorite song. He would leave behind the Bloody Rose, a violin that Otoya himself made with Maya's help, for Wataru.

During his battle with the Fangire Race, Otoya falls in love with Maya, the original Queen of the Checkmate Four, resulting in the chain of events that led to him becoming the second Dark Kiva. Otoya, with help from a time-traveling Wataru, succeeds in destroying the King in their final battle, at the cost of his remaining lifespan.

Overseeing his son's departure, Otoya entrusted Wataru with the future, having faith in his son. Otoya would then pay final visits to his friends Yuri and the Arms Monsters. Arriving at the park, he played to Maya her favorite song before he layed to rest in Maya's arms. He would leave behind the Bloody Rose, a violin that Otoya himself made with Maya's help, for Wataru.

Prior to Wataru's time-travel in 2009, Otoya's spirit was summoned inside Wataru's body when during a fortune teller attempted to determine Kamen Rider Kiva's identity, with his memories intact. The effects being temporary, Otoya uses this time to help Megumi gain confidence in herself, granting her access to IXA's powers.

Later on, from Bishop's plan to kill Wataru and Taiga, the Fangire King was revived as a berserk monster. Overwhelmed by its powers, Wataru's transformation was canceled, with his body flung down a cliff. Before he fell to his death however, Wataru was suddenly saved by Otoya, the latter reappearing as a corporal spirit. Encouraging Wataru to not give up, Otoya gave him the emotional strength needed for victory.

He was later mentioned by his future grandson Masao in his introduction, much to Wataru's surprise.

In the non-canon The Queen of the Castle in the Demon World net spin-off movies, Otoya is brought into the present and bought the Café mald'amour, renaming it the "Café Otoya D'amour" and attempting to remodel it.

Personality[]

Otoya is a bold and outgoing individual with an eccentric viewpoint of life. Before becoming a Kamen Rider, Otoya regularly ruined the social lives of others, if mostly in an unintentional manner. Furthermore, he is quite lecherous in nature, constantly flirting with any women he sees. Simultaneously though, Otoya is capable of compassion and empathy, being surprisingly insightful at times.

Unlike other members of the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization, Otoya does not see the Fangires as inherently evil in nature, believing that humanity can coexist with the Demon Races. This belief later earns Otoya the respect of Omura, Jiro, and Maya, each coming to view him as a good man.

"You bastard, what the hell do you think the music is?"
―Otoya to Hitomi Miyazawa after learning the purpose of her play[src]

Possessing an ideology that "all humans are music," Otoya is a dedicated musician, a belief shared by his son. No matter how powerful a foe he may face, Otoya never allows acts of blatant cruelty, expressing disgust at the Octopus Fangire's actions.

Unlike King, Otoya is a dedicated family man, being very open in his affection towards Maya, Taiga, and Wataru. Placing great faith in Wataru, Otoya continues to support him even in death, with their bond proving strong enough to overcome all limits.

Abilities[]

  • Master Violinist: Otoya is well known for his prodigious violin skills, with only a high-quality violin like the Bloody Rose capable of bringing forth his full potential.
  • Skilled Combatant: Otoya initially had little experience in fighting, but gradually became an adept fighter. His strength was fully shown when he defeated the King, a feat which many assumed as "impossible."[1]
  • Balance Proficiency: Like all Kurenai family members, Otoya has the unique ability of being able to walk on the balls of his toes.
  • Indomitable Will: Otoya's life-force is superhuman in nature, with even the King expressing shock at its potency. In his final moments, Otoya managed to fight as Dark Kiva on three separate occasions without instant death, something that an ordinary human could never accomplish.

The IXA system, an acronym for Intercept X Attacker, is a Rider System developed for fighting Fangire. Otoya uses the Prototype Version of the Ixa System, which only has access to Save Mode (セーブモード, Sēbu Mōdo).

In 1986, the Ixa System was still in development. There were several technical problems such as the armor shooting out steam, a constant beeping, and the Ixa Knuckle producing sparks when activating a Fuestle. In addition, Ixa only has access to the Knuckle Fuestle. In contrast to the 2008 versions, the Ixa Knuckle had a deeper tone of voice and uses a bronze projection for the Ixa System's transformation. The Ixa Prototype Version exhausts a qualified person's body considerably even if they are not human, as the System still managed to harm both Jiro and Rook. Prolonged usage of the IXA system caused Otoya to develop temporary amnesia.

By inserting the Knuckle Fuestle into the Ixa Belt and pressing the Ixa Knuckle, Ixa can perform the Broken Fang (ブロウクン・ファング, Burōkun Fangu) finisher.

Kamen Rider Ixa is composed of the following parts:

  • Ixa Met (イクサメット, Ikusa Metto): The helmet. It is composed of Ixa Platinum (イクサプラチナ, Ikusa Purachina), a diamond-hard material made exclusively for Kamen Rider Ixa. Ixa Platinum was developed from 8AL-7V Titanium (8AL‐7Vチタニウム, 8AL‐7V Chitaniumu), one of the strongest current alloys on Earth, and is considered as the material that next-generation weapons and armor would be made out of. The metal was obtained via special routes. All information is transferred to the user within via internal pads that mount through electrical contact.
    • Hunting Glass (ハンティング・グラス, Hantingu Gurasu): The eyes. They are ultra-wide lens that possess a 180° field of view in front, and video information captured is transmitted to the wearer inside via an in-helmet terminal. It also contains a type of night vision scope function that can even see in darkness with zero visibility, and a Super X-Ray (スーパーXレイ, Sūpā X Rei) function that allows Ixa to see through a 5 meter thick iron plate. The Hunting Glass can record images via a digital camera lens and save it onto a built-in disk.
    • Access Signal (アクセスシグナル, Akusesu Shigunaru): A blue light on the forehead. It blinks when a computer within the Ixa System accesses internal disks.
    • Cross Shield (クロスシールド, Kurosu Shīrudo): The golden cross-like visor. In Save Mode, it closes down to cover the Hunting Glass. Immediately after transformation, the Cross Shield closes to prevent the suit from self-destructing and to protect the face where high precision instruments are located. In Burst Mode, all energy is concentrated in one point (the weapons) to enable devastating special moves. Since Burst Mode not only consumes considerable energy but also puts a high load on the suit and the built-in computer, continuous operation in Burst Mode for more than 30 minutes is highly dangerous.
    • GPS Bit (GPSビット, GPS Bitto): The blue tips on top of the Cross Shield. They are antennae that lets Ixa know the location of an optical beacon as if they were using a satellite.
    • Poisona Filter (ポワゾナフィルター, Powazona Firutā): The white section between the eyes. It is a device that decomposes and purifies all toxins to supply safe air to the wearer.
    • Masker Regulator (マスカーレギュレーター, Masukā Regyurētā): The mouthplate. An ultra-small oxygen cylinder in installed, enabling approximately 360 minutes (6 hours) of underwater activity and in low oxygen conditions.
  • Sol Mirror (ソルミラー, Soru Mirā): Chest-mounted power unit. It is a next-generation power engine that increases stored power by hundreds of times. This energy converted by the Ixa Engine (イクサエンジン, Ikusa Enjin), a black boxed device, transcends human intelligence. In order to efficiently cool down the heat, which is produced as a by-product of the tremendous energy, an opening around the central mirror is used as a heat dissipation block. Small indicator lights arranged around the centre in a cross-like pattern indicate the flow of energy. The indicator placed in the middle top is red, and the indicators to the left and right are green, and are said to be the ideal indicators of energy.
  • Delta Earth (デルタアース, Deruta Āsu): Aerial discharge-type grounding systems provided on the shoulders, hips and back. Discharges high voltage that flows excessively through the suit into the air, reducing the burden on the body.
  • Sol Flasher (ソルフラッシャー, Soru Furasshā): The light bars on the shoulders. Energy can be concentrated here to be used as a flash grenade. The amount of light is 3 million candela. The intensity of the flash can lead to blindness in ordinary people with a single shot, making it even more effective against Fangires, who dislike light. Therefore, it can be said that this is specifically anti-Fangire equipment. Additionally, during normal operation, it plays the role of a condition signal that flashes red when a yelow light pops up, a malfunction occurs, or when battery level is significantly reduced.
  • Black Armor Suit (ブラックアーマースーツ, Burakku Āmā Sūtsu): The bodysuit. It is an inner suit that wraps around the wearer and protcts them from external impact. It is made from Carbotech Linen (カーボテックリネン, Kābotekku Rinen), one of the strongest synthetic fibres ever made. Theoretically, it can withstand temperatures of 2000°C, and boasts an intense tear strength of 200t.
  • USM (Ultimate Servo Motor System) (USM(ウルティメットサーボモーターシステム), USM (Urutimetto Sābo Mōtā Shisutemu)): The servomechanisms. It is an ultra-compact high-power motor that produces power equivalent to a 5000cc-class industrial combustion engine. By connecting both upper and lower arms with a strong ultra-thin inner frame, and assisting the arm with artificial muscle fibre (マッスルファイバー, massuru faibā) which operates via electrical signals, the user is given tremendous extraordinary strength. A similar system is installed within the legs.
  • Ixa Armor (イクサアーマー, Ikusa Āmā): The arm armor. Has a hardness of 8.522. It is made of Ixa Platinum. It also contains sterling silver (スターリングシルバー, sutāringu shirubā), a material that dislikes Fangires, and 87 Titanium (87チタン, 87 chitan).
  • Hunting Grabs (ハンティング・グラブ, Hantingu Gurabu): The hands. An ultra-thin inner frame is built into the USMand the fingertips, providing 20 times the grip strength of ordinary people. Electrical contacts are built into the palm to connect to the Ixa Knuckle.
  • Emergency Battery (エマージェンシーバッテリー, Emājenshī Batterī): Spare power packs contained in the legs for when Ixa runs out of power. The power transition is automatic and can always be carried as a backup power source. The main power unit can operate up to 12 hours while an Emergency Battery can operate up to 6 hours.
  • Power Knee Unit (パワーニーユニット, Pawā Nī Yunitto): The knees. It incorporates an assisted artificial knee joint with USM, creating superhuman leg strength. Since a large amount of electricity flows through it, a bunch of Delta Earths are provided to efficiently discharge excess voltage to reduce burden.
  • Super Absorber (スーパーアブソーバ, Sūpā Abusōba): The ankles. The ankles are wrapped in multiple layers of muscle fibre, providing tremendous leg strength. In order to reduce burden to the legs, air shock absorbers (エアショックアブソーバ, ea shokku abusōba) are incorporated on both sides of the ankles and on the soles of the feet.

Kamen Rider Dark Kiva

"Gaburi!"
―Dark Kivat's transformation announcement[src]
Rider Statistics[3]
  • Rider Height: 205 cm
  • Rider Weight: 112 kg
Ability Parameters[3]
  • Punching Power: 20 t
  • Kicking Power: 35 t
  • Maximum Jump Height: 250 m
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m. per 1.2 sec

With Kivat-Bat the 2nd, Otoya became Dark Kiva, the only human ever to do. Dark Kiva only appears to have one form, similar to that of Kiva Emperor Form However, Dark Kiva does not require the use of a being such as Tatsulot to achieve this form, and has no chains on his body as Kiva needs to control his power. Like King, Otoya has access to a unlimited potential of power that is hindered within his successor such as telekinesis and the use of the Kiva insignia as a weapon.

As Maya would later explain, the human body is unable to handle the strain of becoming Kiva: a single usage is fatal to most humans. Otoya was able to become Dark Kiva a total of three times before finally dying due to the strain it put on his body. Shima also mentioned this when Wataru revealed his heritage to him.

In search of a power stronger than the Saga armor, the Fangire created a new armor meant for the second king. The armor is also known in dialogue as the "Kiva of Darkness" (闇のキバ, Yami no Kiba), and can reach its limits by accessing the wearer's natural abilities, but it has the drawback of making the wearer lose control. The first King, now equipped with the Dark Kiva armor used the Wake Up III finisher "King's World End" during the fight against the Legendorgas. Due to the huge loss of Fangire life after the finisher was used, Knight and Pawn sealed off the use of the finishing attack.[4]

Kamen Rider Dark Kiva has the following parts:

  • King's Persona (キングス・ペルソナ, Kingusu Perusona): Dark Kiva's helmet. The bat-like wings on the head are called "Zenon Stabilizers", and spreads the stress on the user's brain by maximizing the demonic power of the user and armor.
  • Darkness Breast (ダークネスブレスト, Dākunesu Buresuto): A depressant called Darkness Tar is applied to the armor to control the demonic power which is amplified by the 3 Demon Emperor Stones to prevent self-destruction. The silver stripe in the center is called the Satan's Vessel (サタンベッセル, Satan Besseru). It is an energy conduit that is connected to Kivat-Bat II to control the demonic power.
  • Demon Emperor Stone (魔皇石, Ma Ō Ishi): Like Kiva Emperor Form, the stones control the air, water, and Earth, and amplifies the strength of the user by ten. The purity is higher than Emperor Form's 3 stones and has stronger amplification powers.
  • Darkness Veil (ダークネスベール, Dākunesu Bēru): The cape. It can neutralize all physical attacks in the world. By swinging the cape, Dark Kiva can generate a blade of darkness to penetrate enemy defenses.
  • Satan Mail (サタンメイル, Satan Meiru): The undersuit made of GaoraDoran leather. The material is rare, and it is made using the finest quality 1200-year-old Doran leather and boasts 3 times the defense of Kiva's armor.
  • Bloody Shoulder (ブラッディショルダー, Buraddi Shorudā): The shoulder armor made of polished Bloody Stone, has a blade that is sharp enough to cut like a razor with just a touch. It functions as armor and a powerful weapon in close combat.
  • Bloody Armor (ブラッディアーマー, Buraddi Āmā): The bright crimson armor made of Bloody Stone. It is said it is not possible to refine it further, it stores demonic power and combines the power with the user.
  • Stabilize Shadow (スタビライズシャドー, Sutabiraizu Shadō): The black lines on the Bloody Armor. They are restraint bands made of Darkness Tar with the purpose of cooling down the demonic power to protect the user from being overpowered and self-destructing as a result.

Kamen Rider Dark Kiva has the following finishers:

  • Darkness Hell Crash (ダークネスヘルクラッシュ, Dākunesu Heru Kurasshu): Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up One," the Darkness Hell Crash is a punch with the force of 65t. When performed, day turns into night with blood red fog. Dark Kiva then does a flying punch with his right arm.
  • King's Burst End (キングスバーストエンド, Kingusu Bāsuto Endo): Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Two," the King's Burst End is a Darkness Moon Break-style kick with the force of 180t and green energy blades.
  • King's World End (キングスワールドエンド, Kingusu Wārudo Endo): Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Three," a self-destruct attack with an unknown amount of power. It was not used in the series.

Kiva Form (キバフォーム, Kiba Fōmu) is Kiva's base form accessed with Kivat alone. Otoya assumed this form when his spirit entered Wataru's body.

Kamen Rider Kiva is composed of the following parts:

  • Kiva Persona (キバ・ペルソナ, Kiba Perusona): The head.
    • Demon Emperor Stone (Blue Stone) (魔皇石 (碧石), Ma Ō Seki (Ao Seki)): The blue-green jewel on the forehead. It amplifies Kiva's Demon Emperor Power (魔皇力, Maou Ri~yoku) by several to tens of times. In this world, a blue Demon Emperor Stone is much more valuable than a crimson/red Demon Emperor Stone (such as those found in Kiva's Arms Weapons). It can accumulate and amplify demonic energy and serves as a restraint to prevent the demon energy from exploding.
    • Guardian Crown (ガーディアンクラウン, Gādian Kuraun): The red 'bat head'/guard plate section on the forehead that houses the Demon Emperor Stone. It serves to protect the Demon Emperor Stone. Its red coloration is due to the Demon Emperor Stone's influence.
    • Crown Sonar (クラウンソナー, Kuraun Sonā): The red sections on top of the Omni Lens. Its coloring is due to the influence of the Demon Emperor Stone. This crimson crown can emit ultrasonic waves to utilize echolocation to grasp surroundings if Kiva's view is obstructed. In can collect information such as enemy position up to 5000 meters away.
    • Coolant Silver (クーラントシルヴァ, Kūranto Shiruvu~a): Silver sections embedded behind the Crown Sonar. They are cooling boards that prevent the user's brain from being destroyed due to the vast amounts of demonic power amplified by the Demon Emperor Stone. It is made of Trysilvania Silver (トライシルバニア銀, Toraishirubania Gin), which has the power of silver (銀の力, gin no chikara) to suppress demonic power from exploding. It has five heat-dissipating ducts on each side of the head to cool down heat energy swirling within the hemet.
    • Omni Lens (オムニレンズ, Omuni Renzu): The eyes. They are visual amplification devices that can obtain visual information at a distance of 500 meters forward and at a 220° angle. It also has an X-ray function that allows Kiva to see through 10 meter-thick steel plating. A nanoscope function is also incorporated, allowing Kiva to detect extremely small objects such as bacteria.
    • Wild Nose (ワイルドノーズ, Wairudo Nōzu): An olfactory amplification device located between the eyes. It gives Kiva detection abilities equivalent to a dog's, allowing Kiva to obtain a sense of smell one million more times than a human. The Wild Nose can track a Fangire's location by sniffing out their odor and footprints.
    • Omni Phone (オムニフォン, Omuni Fon): Hearing amplifiers. Its sensitivity can be raised according to the wearer's will, and if sensitivity is raised to the maximum, Kiva can discern the sound of a needle falling up to 3km away.
    • Gau Crusher (ガウ・クラッシャー, Gau Kurasshā): The silver mouth plate. It is actually a set of metal tusks crafted out of sharpened Lucifer Metal (ルシファーメタル, Rushifā Metaru). It has a jaw force of 1.2t and can chew through a metal ball that is about 8cm in diameter. An air purifier is installed inside to decompose and purify toxins. It also takes in and purifies all substances necessary for breathing from the surrounding air; this function even works within a vacuum state.
  • Darkness Choker (ダークネス・チョーカー, Dākunesu Chōkā): The black choker device on the base of the neck area. Among monsters, a necklace that imitates a demon's face is a favorite decoration of those with power. Among lower monsters, it is said that they simply look at this ornament, meaning that it serves no real functional purpose and is just for decorative purposes.
  • Bloody Lung (ブラッディラング, Buraddi Rangu): The red chest segment. It is where Kiva's power is stored. its red coloring is due to the fact that this is where the most demonic power is accumulated. It sends power to the whole body via its black blood vessels that have been branched in layers.
  • King Singlet (キングシングレット, Kingu Shinguretto): The chest armor. It is a strong auxiliary armor that protects Kiva's body, and at the same time functions as a restraint to suppress potential explosion of demonic power. It is made out of Lucifer Metal and has been coated in Trysilvania Silver to further suppress demonic power.
  • Ptera Plate (Shoulders) (プテラ・プレート (肩), Putera Purēto (Kata)): The shoulder armor. They are restraints that suppress Kiva's power amplification. Kiva's power, which has been activated by Kivat and amplified by the Demon Emperor Stone, is immeasurable and could potentially cause Kiva to self-destruct. Hence the need for restraints.
  • Catena (カテナ, Katena): Chains wrapped around the shoulders and the right leg. It is crafted out of Lucifer Metal and is coated with Trysilvania Silver. Furthermore, a seal has been engraved on its surface to prevent an explosion from demonic power overload. (Note: 'Catena' is Italian for 'chain'.)
  • Doran Mail (ドランメイル, Doran Meiru): Kiva's bodysuit. It is a tough inner suit made from the leather of the Black Dragon Gaora Doran (ガオーラ・ドラン, Gaōra Doran), and has been processed by using the same dragon's fangs. It protects the wearer from extreme weather conditions, whether it be burning hot or freezing cold. It is extremely difficult to pierce with currently existing bullets and knives.
  • King's Breath (キングブレス, Kingu Buresu): Demonic power amplification bracelets located on the wrists. Red Demon Emperor Stones are embedded. The power of the stones amplifies Kiva's power several times giving Kiva superhuman strength. It has been coated with Trysilvania Silver for easier control.
  • Blood Vessel (ブラッドベッセル, Buraddo Besseru): An energy flow path used to distribute Kiva's power across the whole body. By using Kivat's body as the 'core', it has the function of efficiently circulating the power of the demon throughout the whole body.
  • Sylvania Knee Guards (シルバニア・ニーガード, Shirubania nī Gādo): The kneecaps. Not only do they protect Kiva's knees, but they also serve as a resistor to control the demonic power flowing into the feet.
  • Hell's Gate (ヘルズゲート, Heruzu Gēto): The metal right leg restrainer. It is forged out of Trysilvania (トライシルバニア, Toraishirubania). This restraint, dubbed the Gates of Hell (地獄の門, Jigoku no Mon), opens up when Kiva utilizes the Wake Up Fuestle, allowing the Catena chains to open up, fully opening Hell's Gate. When opened, it resembles bat wings, and serve to ensure that kicks from a high altitude land on targets. Its tip is made of Lucifer Metal and is as sharp as a diamond. Its insides have been dyed crimson due to the influence of the Demon Emperor Stones. It also plays the role of power release plates, diffusing and emitting any power that rebounds during impact.
    • Demon's Mount (デモンズ・マウント, Demonzu Maunto): The red parts encasing the right leg. They are fixtures that hold the demon stones in place while keeping the right leg from exploding. Originally, it had a silver coloration due to it being crafted out of Trysilvania, but has been dyed red due to the influence and power of the stones. it has been designed to invoke the face of the legendary Demon King's face, which has been handed down between monsters.
    • Goldie Vessel (ゴルディ・ベッセル, Gorudi Besseru): A golden Blood Vessel that flows demonic power through the Demon Emperor Stones of the air, sea, and land via bottleneck effect.
    • Demon Emperor Stone of the Air (Blue Stone) (宙の魔皇石(碧石), Sora no Ma Ō Seki (Ao Seki)): The top stone located on the upper right leg. It amplifies demonic power with the power of the cosmic spirit (宇宙の精霊, uchū no seirei). After passing through the Blood Vessel, the first area where demonic power is accumulated, demonic power is sent through the Demon Emperor Stones. From there onwards, power is amplified twice more than usual, allowing Kiva to utilize great power.
    • Demon Emperor Stone of the Water (Blue Stone) (水の魔皇石(碧石), Mizu no Ma Ō Seki (Ao Seki)): The middle stone located on the lower right leg. It receives demonic power from the Demon Emperor Stone of the Air and further amplifies it. It is said that the water spirit (水の精霊, mizu no seirei) resides in here, and with its power, the demonic energy is twice amplified. At this point, demonic energy has been amplified four times.
    • Demon Emperor Stone of the Land (Blue Stone) (地の魔皇石(碧石), Chi no Ma Ō Seki (Ao Seki)): The lowest stone located on the right foot. With the help of the land spirit (地の精霊, ji no seirei), amplified energy is amplified to the maximum. The reason for dividing the amplification process into three stages is a precaution against the possible destruction of Kiva during the process. At this point, demonic energy has been amplified by a factor of eight, giving Kiva enough energy to execute the Darkness Moon Break.
    • Devil's Mouth (魔斬口, Mazankō): The right foot. A red Demon Emperor Stone is fitted on the sole, where demonic energy flows out of during the Darkness Moon Break. By releasing energy amplified by all three Demon Emperor Stones at once, tremendous destructive power is unleashed.
  • Balancer Anklets (バランサー・アンクレット, Baransā Ankuretto): The ankle armor. The right leg's Balancer Anklet is hidden within Hell's Gate. The power contained within is far greater than ordinary people. While keeping the power balance with the right leg evenly, it can deliver an explosive destructive power of about 8 tons even with a regular kick in a restrained state.

Kamen Rider Kiva has the following finishers:

  • Darkness Moon Break (ダークネスムーンブレイク, Dākunesu Mūn Bureiku): By having Kivat blow the Wake Up Fuestle, the Catena chains binding the Hell's Gate (ヘルズゲート, Heruzu Gēto) on Kiva's right leg break open. Kiva then performs a powerful kick with an impact of 30,000 kg, enough to leave a crater in the shape of a bat's wings (Kiva's insignia) on any surface upon contact; the glass body of a Fangire shatters almost instantly. Kiva can also perform a stronger variation of the Darkness Moon Break when engulfed in Castle Doran's fire. When the Darkness Moon Break is performed, day turns into night and a crescent moon appears in the sky.
  • Bloody Punch (ブラッディーパンチ, Buraddī Panchi): Exclusive to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva jumps into the air and strike the opponent with a strengthened punch.

Kiva Form's ending theme is entitled Destiny's Play.

Rider Statistics
  • Rider Height: 200 cm[6]
  • Rider Weight: 92 kg[6]
Ability Parameters
  • Punching Power: 3 t.[6]
  • Kicking Power: 3 t.[6]
  • Maximum Jump Height: 20 m.[6]
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m. per 6 sec.[6]
  • Maximum Swimming Speed: 162 knots[6]

Basshaa Form (バッシャーフォーム, Basshā Fōmu) is the result of Kiva using the Basshaa Magnum. In this form, the Omnilens as well as Kiva's chest and right arm armor turn a shade of green called Basshaa Emerald (バッシャーエメラルド, Basshā Emerarudo) which places Kiva under the influence of Basshaa.

While in this state, Kiva loses most of his strength and agility, but gains mastery of long-range combat and is able to analyze an opponent's weak point to target with accurate marksmanship. Basshaa Form can also manipulate water, able to create rain as well as a pool of water necessary to perform the finishing attacks.

Basshaa Form adds the following parts:

  • Emerald Lens (エメラルドレンズ, Emerarudo Renzu): The emerald-green eyes. Due to the influence of Basshaa's power, Kiva's Omni Lens has turned green. Out of Kiva's Arms Monster forms, the Emerald Lens has the highest eyesight and serves as a potent scope for shooting. It has a fisheye effect and provides a 240° angle view.
  • Scale Lung (スケイルラング, Sukeiru Rangu): The chest plate. During any underwater activity, it can indefinitely take in oxygen from the water. The Scale Lung itself is modified from Basshaa's scales to make it tougher, making its toughness comparable to Lucifer Metal. Normal weapons cannot hurt the armor.
  • Armor Fin (アーマーフィン, Āmā Fin): The right shoulder and forearm armor. Basshaa's sharp fins have been transformed into shoulder armor, and its toughness is the same as Kiva's Ptera Plate. In addition to defending the shoulder, its sharpness can be utilized in a shoulder attack to cut through opponents, and can even cut through steel. The Armor Fin on the forearm is just as effective and can be used as hitting weapons.
  • Scale Arm (スケイルアーム, Sukeiru Āmu): The right arm. Due to the influence of Basshaa, it is now covered with an armor plate dubbed Basshaa Scale (バッシャースケイル, Basshā Sukeiru). It is Basshaa's scales that have been transformed into scales so hard that no ordinary weapon can pierce it.
  • Demon Emperor Stone (Green) (魔皇石 (碧), Ma Ō Seki (Aoi)): Due to Basshaa's power, The bracelet around Kiva's right wrist has become gold and its Demon Emperor Stone has turned green. It functions as an amulet that prevents Basshaa's power from breaking out and absorbing Kiva.
  • Marine Finger (マリンフィンガー, Marin Fingā): The right hand. The tips are sharp claws and can pierce a 1-meter thick iron plate without much resistance. The palm generates powerful demonic power, creating an Aqua Field (アクアフィールド, Akua Fīrudo) from the atmosphere (even in spaces without moisture), and changes the environment into a watery place that advantages Basshaa Form and its fighting style.

Bashaa form has the following finishers:

  • Basshaa Aqua Tornado (バッシャー・アクアトルネード, Basshā Akua Torunēdo): Performed when Kivat bites down on the Bashaa Magnum and injects Active Force (アクティブフォース, Akutibu Fōsu), which allows it to generate a powerful tornado. Kiva then fires a powerful homing shot that instantly shatters enemy Fangires. When it is performed, day turns to night and a half-moon forms in the sky, as it references the change ebb and flow of the tides during its phase.
  • Basshaa Finger (バッシャーフィンガー, Basshā Fingā): Exclusive to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva quickly pulls the trigger on the Basshaa Magnum to launch fast and powerful water projectiles.

Basshaa Form's ending theme is entitled "Innocent Trap".

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Otoya Kurenai is portrayed by Kouhei Takeda (武田 航平, Takeda Kōhei), who would later go on to play Kazumi Sawatari in Kamen Rider Build. As a child, he is portrayed by Ayumu Maruyama (丸山 歩夢, Maruyama Ayumu). As Kamen Rider Ixa, his suit actor is Jiro Okamoto (岡元 次郎, Okamoto Jirō), whereas the suit actor for Kamen Rider Dark Kiva is Eitoku (永徳, Eitoku).

Notes[]

  • Otoya's flamboyant and womanizing nature is based on Masaru Igami, a veteran screenwriter for tokusatsu dramas and the father of Kiva's writer Toshiki Inoue. Igami was well-known to be a "complicated" individual with many vices. However, Inoue and many others still respected Igami for his redeeming aspects, something that is reflected onto Otoya's character.[7][8]
  • According to Kouhei Takeda in his blog, Otoya's pose when transforming into Ixa is a homage to Takeshi Hongo's transformation pose as Kamen Rider 1.[9]
Kazumi Sawatari Dogtag
  • Takeda's future role as Kazumi Sawatari contains a reference to his role as Otoya in the form of a dogtag pun: 9 (, Ku), 0 (, Re), 7 (, Na), 1 (, I) , 0 (, O) 10 (, To), 8 (, Ya).
