"I can do whatever I want, for however long I want! Is there any greater prize than that?"

―Shuichi on his wish for immortality^[src]

Shuichi Kitaoka (北岡 秀一, Kitaoka Shūichi) is Kamen Rider Zolda (仮面ライダーゾルダ, Kamen Raidā Zoruda, Masked Rider Zolda), the fourth of the 13 Kamen Riders the story revolves around, though serving as the third main Rider in the series. A defense lawyer who was diagnosed with cancer, he participates in the Rider Fight in order to fulfill his wish of becoming immortal.

History

Shuichi Kitaoka is a self-proclaimed "Super-lawyer", tending to only help someone if he has something to gain. Because he has a terminal case of cancer and was given only several more months to live, Kitaoka accepted Shiro Kanzaki's offer to join the Rider Fight. His prize is to be immortal so that he could continue his extravagant lifestyle. Because of his illness, he suffers from frequent dizzy spells and fainting.

He first meets Shinji Kido after he clears the Sakura Company of its credit fraud charges and is later pursued by its bookies after taking their dirty money as added payment for his services. Though Shinji was unaware of this at first, he attempts to save Kitaoka only to be rescued by his apprentice Goro Yura. Shinji later meets Kitaoka again when he and Reiko wanted permission from the Kawazu Pharmacy to inspect their factory for environmental violations. Interested in Shinji, Kitaoka allows Shinji to hang around with him and understand his ideology until Shinji hit a nerve of Kitaoka's thought to live for one's own desire seemed hollow made Kitaoka kick him out.

Later, after attacking Kamen Rider Ryuki just as Ryuki kills a Zebraskull, Kitaoka learns that Shinji is in jail for suspected kidnapping and agrees to help him on the condition that Reiko writes a special article to boost his positive image. However, learning that Shinji's Ryuki with seeing the wound he inflicted in their fight, Kitaoka goes to Atori Cafe to get his pay from Ren. However, when a Wildboarder attacks, Kitaoka exposes himself while learning that Ren is a Rider - Kamen Rider Knight - as well. After fighting him, Kitaoka questions Ren's reasons for not killing Shinji. Kitaoka had intended to frame Shinji for kidnapping but after being fired as Shinji's lawyer when his intentions were revealed, Kitaoka is annoyed that Shinji is freed because of a girl named Yukari whom he brushed off while refusing to aid her. But after learning that her mother is hospitalized, Kitaoka secretly pays for her mother's surgery and earns the girl's respect. However, Zolda manages to sneak attack Ryuki and Knight while they were fighting the Wildboarder with Magnugiga, killing the monster while giving Ren memory loss in the overkill attack.

Kitaoka later gives Goro use of Zolda for a while to conceal himself, until get sets up a scheme of having Shinji believe he accidentally killed Goro to have him quit being a Rider. But his arrogance of barring ORE from a press conference to spite Reiko led to her helping Ren expose the lawyer as the real Zolda. After bailing out the son of one of his clients, Jun Shibaura, Kitaoka drops his long time client Takeshi Asakura out being tired of the man's attitude, leading Asakura receiving aid from Shiro. Eventually the two found out they were both Riders and they began a personal feud against each other. Though Shinji would attempt to warn him of this while under the effect of Kamen Rider Odin's Time Vent, Kitaoka faked helping Shinji and later states that fulfilling his wish to win the Rider War is more important than Asakura staying behind bars.

As the war goes on, Kitaoka becomes weaker and weaker. He begins to have doubts whether he can truly win the war. He also grows to care for Shinji, unwilling to fight him when he saw that, while Shinji requested to fight, his heart wasn't in it.

"The weather is so bad today. I can't see your face clearly anymore, Goro."

―Kitaoka's last words before passing away^[src]

Kitaoka's deathbed.

Kitaoka was the only Rider to voluntarily give up the fight rather than be killed, realizing that while his life was a short life, it was a good one. While he died in peace at his home, Goro went to fight against Ouja in his place as Zolda; Goro, not used to Zolda's long-range style, died with Asakura learning too late that he is denied taking Kitaoka's life himself. After Shiro restored time to its proper course after Yui's death, Kitaoka and Goro were both given a second chance at life, though it was never revealed if Kitaoka still has cancer or not.

Personality

Kitaoka is flamboyant, playful, cunning, and clever. He often flirts with reporter Reiko Momoi, much to her annoyance. As a lawyer, he helped many people escape their prison sentences, though actually never caring for their moralities and as such is only interested in both the money and his vanity. If it benefits him, he is not afraid to deceit others, which was shown when he falsely recorded Shinji's desires as evidence to get him to stay in prison, and in his numerous battles with Asakura. He also believes that fighting for others is a sign of weakness, often lashing out on Shinji and Ren for their desires in saving lives. One can easily brush off Kitaoka as a bad person, though it is shown many times that he is not as bad as he seems, which was once shown when he paid for the medical expenses of a little girl's mother. Despite his many questionable means in winning the Rider Battle, he only does so to cure himself from his own sickness, as he fears the pain that he experiences.

As time passed, Kitaoka had finally let go of his outlandish personality, realizing that his wish for eternal life was only a lie, and that he wanted only to live without pain, much to the pleasure of his servant Goro. As such, he used what little time he had left to do actual good. He used his deceit to fool Reiko away from the truth of the Mirror World for her own safety, he lectured the deranged Satoru on his wrongful path in becoming a 'hero', he warns Ren on Shinji's concerning mental health, and when it finally came down to four riders, he refuses to fight.

In his final moments, he sees now the value of others, now realizing that Ren was right about Shinji being the better man. He also shows regret, lamenting for allowing Asakura to become a Kamen Rider and for not being able to spend more time with Reiko.

Fighting Style

Kitaoka is an expert on long-range battles. His personality and intellect are perfect to use Zolda's power to perform heavy damage from a long distance. Kitaoka always calculates the best use of his vent card to attack his target so that the explosive effect will not injure him, as revealed when he canceled his Final Vent because it caused great collateral damage when his opponent outsmarted his move by going closer to him.

Zolda armed with Gigacannon

Zolda armed with Gigalauncher

Zolda armed with Gigaarmor

Kitaoka can transform into Kamen Rider Zolda using his Card Deck and V Buckle upon forming a contract with Magnugiga. His Visor, the Magnuvisor (マグナバイザー, Maguna Baizā), is a submachine gun that also functions as his personal weapon. Zolda's punching power and kicking power are equal and of decent strength, but his jump height and running speed are the lowest among all of the 13 Riders. To compensate for his lack of agility, Zolda employs an exclusively long-ranged fighting style.

Zolda possesses two different Shoot Vent Advent Cards. The first arms him with the Gigacannon (ギガキャノン, Giga Kyanon), a pair of cannons derived from Magnugiga's legs which mount on Zolda's back and fire over his shoulders. The second Shoot Vent arms Zolda with the Gigalauncher (ギガランチャー, Giga Ranchā), a massive missile launcher derived from Magnugiga's arms combined together. His Guard Vent equips him with the Gigaarmor (ギガアーマー, Giga Āmā), a shield derived from Magnugiga's torso which can also be used as a mount for the Gigalauncher.

By using his Final Vent, Zolda can execute his finisher, the End Of World (エンドオブワールド, Endo Obu Wārudo), in which Magnugiga appears in front of Zolda and he inserts the Magnuvisor into its back. Magnugiga then deploys all of its weapons, which Zolda fires all at once by pulling the trigger of the Magnuvisor. The resulting barrage destroys both the target and the surrounding environment.

Mido-Rider is composed of the following parts:

Relationships

Love Interest

• Reiko Momoi: At first, Kitaoka thought his good looks and status as a famous "Super Lawyer" would make any woman fall for him. As Reiko resisted his advances, Kitaoka saw this as a challenge. As time passes, his egocentric tendencies somewhat faded, causing Reiko to give him a chance. Unfortunately, Kitaoka died before their date could come to pass.

Friends

• Goro Yura: While Goro seems to be just a servant to him, Kitaoka actually cares about him. He compliments Goro for his cooking skills and laments his absence whenever Goro is away. He also prevents Goro from killing Asakura, as he does not want Goro to have blood on his hands.

Allies

• Shinji Kido: At first, Kitaoka saw Shinji as one of the enemy Riders whom he needed to defeat. To do so, he used several underhanded methods to knock him out of the Rider Fight. As time went on, however, Kitaoka began to develop a grudging friendship towards him, as they worked together against several Mirror Monsters that were targeting people close to Kitaoka. Near the end of his life, Kitaoka cared for Shinji enough to warn Ren about Shinji's unstable behavior, echoing Ren's statement that Shinji is a better man compared to himself.
• Ren Akiyama: Like with Shinji, Ren started out as one of Kitaoka's enemies, but their antagonism gradually faded after working together against several Mirror Monsters.

Enemies

• Takeshi Asakura: Even before both men became Riders, Kitaoka hated Asakura because of his violent lifestyle. His disgust was such that he refused to defend Asakura in court. After Asakura became a Rider, Kitaoka saw it as his mission to defeat the criminal Rider.
• Satoru Tojo: Kitaoka felt nothing but pitiable antipathy towards Tojo, for his twisted wish to become a hero. He scathingly told Tojo that the moment you try to become a hero is the moment you can never be one.
