Kamen Rider Kabuki

Kamen Rider Kabuki (仮面ライダー歌舞鬼, Kamen Raidā Kabuki, lit. "Festive Demon") is a Kamen Rider in the Kamen Rider Hibiki movie Kamen Rider Hibiki & The Seven Senki.

KabukiEdit

Kabuki is a Taiko Oni and is one of the antagonists in the movie, having double-crossed Asumu and the others into believing he cares for humans (as per his staged fight with a Makamou). He also caused trouble among the seven Oni when they were accused of attacking humans (with Nishiki's weapons found beside a murdered man, while it was actually him who committed it).

He revealed that he was disillusioned with his relation with humans because no matter how hard he fights and risks his life for them, they just call him an Oni, a monster, an animal. Thus he forms a pact with the Makamou to become one of them. He has a soft spot, however, for children because even upon his defeat by Hibiki and death at the hands of Hitotsumi, he pleads for Asumu's safety.

Arsenal Edit

• Henshin Onsa - Onkaku (変身音叉・音角, Transformation Tuning Fork: Sound Angle): A black tuning fork transformation device.
  • Meitō - Onsaken (鳴刀・音叉剣, Echo Sword: Tuning Fork Sword): The Onkaku's sword form.
• Ongekiko (音撃鼓, Sound Attack Drum): A taiko buckle.
• Ongekibō - Ressui (音撃棒・烈翠, Sound Attack Club: Raging Kingfisher): A pair of drum sticks Ongeki weapon.

Attacks Edit

• Ongeki Da: Gōka Kenran (音撃打・業火絢爛, Sound Attack Stroke: Gorgeous Hellfire): Ongeki Finisher.

Later appearance Edit

• In episode 9 of Kamen Rider Decade, Kamen Rider Diend summons Kabuki alongside with Kamen Rider Rey in the World of Faiz to battle Lucky Clover.
• During the events of Episode Yellow: Treasure de End Pirates, Kamen Rider Diend Complete Form summons Kabuki alongside seven other Movie Riders using the Attack Ride Card Gekijouban to defeat Kamen Rider G Den-O.  Here, Kabuki's Gōka Kenran is depicted as a gong-like attack, possibly in order to better go along with the other Riders' ranged finishing moves (as occurred with Kamen Rider Glaive's Gravity Slash).
