Kivat-bat the 3rd (キバットバットIII世, Kibattobatto Sansei) (called Kivat for short) is a character in Kamen Rider Kiva serving as the Kivat partner and transformation device of the protagonist, Kamen Rider Kiva.

AppearanceEdit

Kivat is a yellow and black Kivat with large red eyes. He is distinguished amongest others of his race possessing two family heirlooms, the green Demon Imperial Stone (魔皇石, Maōseki^?) on his forehead and the Kivat Persona (キバットペルソナ, Kibatto Perusona^?) on his face. His wings are onrnated with Lucifer Gold.

PersonalityEdit

Kivat is a solid character with a dry wit, tending to have a bitter attitude. Despite this he still cares deeply about his partner Wataru, forming a partnership with him since infancy and giving tips during battle against others. He likes Megumi Aso because she reminds him of Amedeo Modigliani's masterpieces, particularly the man's works of long-necked women. He often gets annoyed by things such as the Taro's constant interruptions during the openings of Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown or the certain actions of Tatsulot.

AbilitiesEdit

As a Kivat, he possesses Demon Imperial Powers like the Active Force (アクティブフォース, Akutibu Fōsu^?) which he can infuse into others by biting with his Active Fangs (アクティブファング, Akutibu Fangu^?) which summons the Kivat Belt where he is then placed upon for the transformation into Kiva. He is also able to blow on Fuestles to summon items or other things like Castle Doran. His eye color changes depending on what form Kiva is in.

Aside from being Kiva's power source, Kivat possesses a technique called Kivat Cutter (キバットカッター, Kibatto Kattā^?) with his Lucifer Gold adorned Kivat Wings (キバットウイング, Kibatto Uingu^?) which can cut through opponents.

NovelEdit

In the novel reimagination of the TV series, Kivat, along with Bassha and Dogga, does not exist in the story, as Kiva is Wataru's Fangire form here.
