History[]
His plan along with Shocker loyalist Dr. Heinrich is to find the treasure map to a hidden Nazi treasure buried in Japan during the WWII Axis Alliance. It turns out the treasure was already seized before Shocker or Hongo found its location. He was destroyed by Kamen Rider 1's Rider Kick and Rider Chop. [The Shinigami Chameleon, Showdown! Old World's Fair]
He was later resurrected by Shocker as part of the Revived Monster Army before being destroyed by Tokageron's special bomb. Shinigami Chameleon also made a brief return appearance in the monster army of the Kamen Rider vs. Shocker movie but did not actually have an active participation there.

- Lasting two episodes unlike his predecessors, Shinigami Chameleon is the first example in the Kamen Rider Series of what can be more accurately termed monster of the fortnight rather than "monster of the week".
