Zanki (ザンキ) is Zaomaru Zaitsuhara's incarnation from Kamen Rider Decade.
Zanki[]
He has the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Zanki (仮面ライダー斬鬼, Kamen Raidā Zanki), who is master of the guitar-based Ongekidō Zanki Style (斬鬼流, Zanki Ryū), stationed at a dojo. He is Ibuki's rival and thus their schools are sworn enemies. Zanki and his entirely male student body wear karate gi; Zanki's gi is black and he wears a black haori over it. After being convinced by his student to give the idea of allying the three schools a chance, he steps down as mentor in favor of Todoroki. He later joins the fight without his "mask" against the Bakegani, wielding his Retsuzan.
Oni Form[]
Kamen Rider Zanki
- Rider Height: 6 shaku 9 sun[1] (approx. 209.1 cm, one say 210 cm[1][2])
- Rider Weight: 43 kan[1] (approx. 161.3 kg, one say 161 kg[1][2])
Ability Parameters:
In this form, Zanki is a bronze demon that looks like Todoroki. To become this form, Zanki simply needs to pluck his brace strings, the vibrations from the strings cause his body to be hit by massive lightning bolts, changing him into his Oni form. Zanki also gains a second "oni face" which is a crest that forms on his forehead. Unlike most Kamen Riders, Zanki does not wear a suit, rather his demon form is his true form.
Appearances: Decade Episode 18-19.
