{{nihongo|'''''Kamen Rider Kiva'''''|仮面ライダーキバ|Kamen Raidā Kiba}}{{r|group=Note|Kiva}}, stylized in English as '''''Masked Rider Kiva''''', is the 2008 ] Japanese '']'' television series produced by ] and ]. It is the series' ninth series in its ] era, and 18th series overall since the debut of ''Kamen Rider'' in 1971.

==Synopsis== | ==Synopsis== | ||
22 years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined as Kamen Rider Kiva to fight Fangires, a species of life force-draining vampires who can assume stained glass-like monster body that his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru also deals with Kamen Rider Ixa, who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, and the Fangires' Rider, Kamen Rider Saga, Wataru's half-brother Fangire who later becomes the present-day Kamen Rider Dark Kiva at the finale. The story is split between Wataru in the present (2008–09) and his father Otoya in the past (1986–87), slowly revealing the link between the Fangire race and Kiva. | |||
==Characters== | |||
{{main|List of Kamen Rider Kiva characters}} | |||
The characters of ''Kamen Rider Kiva'' are spread throughout two time periods, each related to one another. There are the actions of Otoya Kurenai and the Fangire Hunter Yuri Aso with the Wolfen Jiro in the year 1986 with the first Ixa Ver.I that result in the various Fangires that persist to the current day, in 2008, with Otoya's son Wataru (as Kamen Rider Kiva) along and Keisuke Nago (as Kamen Rider Ixa Ver.X) and Yuri's daughter Megumi (also a Fangire Hunter), dealing with the Fangires to prevent deaths. | |||
The characters of ''Kamen Rider Kiva'' are found in two related periods where the heroes fight the Fangires and protect a few of them who are non-hostile: | |||
==Fangire== | |||
* From 1986 until 1987, Otoya Kurenai, Fangire Hunter Yuri Aso, and the three respective sole surviving monster races who will become Wataru's familiars (Jiro the Wolfen, Ramon the Merman, and Riki the Franken) utilize Kamen Rider Ixa Ver. I system to fight against the newly-born Fangires, while also being able to redeem a few of them to live with humanity, such as the former Fangire Queen, Maya. Following the defection of Kivat III's father Kivat II from the Fangire King, the original Dark Kiva, Otoya sacrifices his life by transforming himself into the second Dark Kiva to destroy the misanthropist Fangire leader. | |||
{{main|Fangire}} | |||
* From 2008 until 2009, Otoya's son Wataru (as Kamen Rider Kiva), Keisuke Nago (as Kamen Rider Ixa Ver. X), and Yuri's daughter Megumi (also a Fangire Hunter), as well as their new and old allies fight against the remaining hostile Fangires, including the resurrected Fangire King. After being joined by their former enemy Taiga Nobori, Wataru's half-brother at the finale, the Fangire King is permanently destroyed and the heroes maintain peace between human and non-human races aside from the surviving non-hostile Fangires, followed by Keisuke and Megumi's marriage. | |||
The {{nihongo|'''Fangires'''|ファンガイア|Fangaia}} are ]-based ]s who feed off of the {{nihongo|Life Energy|ライフエナジー|Raifu Enajī}} of humans to survive, with which they can disguise themselves as humans. Because of this, aware humans have formed a group to hunt the Fangires. Though Kiva usually captures a Fangire's soul to feed to Castle Doran, Fangires can be completely destroyed when shattered as seen by Ixa and stronger Fangires. | |||

Each episode's title is a word or phrase relating to music and a phrase describing the episode separated by a symbol from ].

''Kiva''{{'}}s ] Hero Saga side story {{nihongo4|''Masked Rider Kiva: King of Vampire''|MASKED RIDER KIVA -KING OF VAMPIRE-}} follows the life of the characters after the finale while expanding on moments in the history of the 1986 storyline. The story had begun running in the January 2010 issue of ''Monthly Hobby Japan'' magazine. Like the series' episode titles, the titles of the first three chapters of the S.I.C. Hero Saga follow a similar format, but feature two musically themed titles separated by an item from musical notation (the former is an opera while the latter is a song from said opera, the third names the composer and one of his songs). The last chapter is a retelling of the final scene of the TV series, except instead of Masao and the Neo-Fangires, ] comes to warn them about the Lion Fangire having turned into a giant Sabbat. | |||

Kamen Rider Kiva (仮面ライダーキバ, Kamen Raidā Kiba), stylized in English as Masked Rider Kiva, is the 2008 Kamen Rider Japanese tokusatsu television series produced by Toei Company and Ishimori Productions. It is the series' ninth series in its Heisei era, and 18th series overall since the debut of Kamen Rider in 1971. It premiered on January 27, 2008, following the finale of Kamen Rider Den-O, and aired as a part of TV Asahi's 2008 Super Hero Time block with Engine Sentai Go-onger. The series was advertised to have horror film themes, such as Kamen Rider Kiva being a vampire. The first episode began with a commemoration of the series in honor of the seventieth anniversary of Shotaro Ishinomori's birthday.
Synopsis
22 years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined as Kamen Rider Kiva to fight Fangires, a species of life force-draining vampires who can assume stained glass-like monster body that his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru also deals with Kamen Rider Ixa, who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, and the Fangires' Rider, Kamen Rider Saga, Wataru's half-brother Fangire who later becomes the present-day Kamen Rider Dark Kiva at the finale. The story is split between Wataru in the present (2008–09) and his father Otoya in the past (1986–87), slowly revealing the link between the Fangire race and Kiva.
The characters of Kamen Rider Kiva are found in two related periods where the heroes fight the Fangires and protect a few of them who are non-hostile:
- From 1986 until 1987, Otoya Kurenai, Fangire Hunter Yuri Aso, and the three respective sole surviving monster races who will become Wataru's familiars (Jiro the Wolfen, Ramon the Merman, and Riki the Franken) utilize Kamen Rider Ixa Ver. I system to fight against the newly-born Fangires, while also being able to redeem a few of them to live with humanity, such as the former Fangire Queen, Maya. Following the defection of Kivat III's father Kivat II from the Fangire King, the original Dark Kiva, Otoya sacrifices his life by transforming himself into the second Dark Kiva to destroy the misanthropist Fangire leader.
- From 2008 until 2009, Otoya's son Wataru (as Kamen Rider Kiva), Keisuke Nago (as Kamen Rider Ixa Ver. X), and Yuri's daughter Megumi (also a Fangire Hunter), as well as their new and old allies fight against the remaining hostile Fangires, including the resurrected Fangire King. After being joined by their former enemy Taiga Nobori, Wataru's half-brother at the finale, the Fangire King is permanently destroyed and the heroes maintain peace between human and non-human races aside from the surviving non-hostile Fangires, followed by Keisuke and Megumi's marriage.
Episodes

Films
Climax Deka
Main article: Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax DekaA movie titled Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva the Movie: Climax Deka (劇場版 仮面ライダー電王&キバ クライマックス刑事(デカ), Gekijōban Kamen Raidā Den'ō Ando Kiba Kuraimakkusu Deka) opened in theaters on April 12, 2008. It is a crossover between the characters of Kiva and Kamen Rider Den-O, who join forces to fight a new evil Imagin who has teamed up with the Fangire Clan. Alongside Climax Deka, a short film titled Momotaros's Let's Go Kiva! (モモタロスのキバっていくぜ!, Momotarosu no Kibatte Ikuze!) was shown as a double feature.
King of the Castle in the Demon World
Main article: Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon WorldKamen Rider Kiva the Movie: King of the Castle in the Demon World (劇場版 仮面ライダーキバ 魔界城の王, Gekijōban Kamen Raidā Kiba Makaijō no Ō) opened in Japanese theaters on August 9, 2008, and was double-billed with Engine Sentai Go-onger: Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!!. It featured two new Riders who have been shown in silhouettes in Japanese children's magazines: Kamen Rider Rey (仮面ライダーレイ, Kamen Raidā Rei), who is a monster hunter named Takato Shiramine (白峰 天斗, Shiramine Takato) portrayed by Shouma Yamamoto, and is partnered Rey Kivat (レイキバット, Rei Kibatto, voiced by Norio Wakamoto). The villain of the movie is Takashi Sugimura (杉村 隆, Sugimura Takashi) portrayed by Ken Horiuchi of the comedy troupe Neptune, a death-row inmate who transforms into Kamen Rider Arc (仮面ライダーアーク, Kamen Raidā Āku) with Arc Kivat (アークキバット, Āku Kibatto, voiced by Norio Wakamoto). The movie takes place in an alternate universe, as trying to place the story of the movie anywhere within the story of the series always leaves events out of place and would cancel out other events. Furthermore, Shouma Yamamoto portrays Takato Shiramine in the Kamen Rider Kiva movie, but he also portrays Taiga Nobori in the actual series.
"Den-Liner, Into Space!"
"Kamen Rider Kiva & Den-O: Den-Liner, Into Space!" (仮面ライダーキバ&電王 デンライナー、宇宙へ!, Kamen Raidā Kiba Ando Den'ō Denrainā, Uchū e!) is a planetarium show that featured the cast of Kiva and Den-O to teach children about the universe. It was shown at the Kagoshima Municipal Science Hall's planetarium between January 2 and March 30, 2009.

Kiva's S.I.C. Hero Saga side story Masked Rider Kiva: King of Vampire (MASKED RIDER KIVA -KING OF VAMPIRE-) follows the life of the characters after the finale while expanding on moments in the history of the 1986 storyline. The story had begun running in the January 2010 issue of Monthly Hobby Japan magazine. Like the series' episode titles, the titles of the first three chapters of the S.I.C. Hero Saga follow a similar format, but feature two musically themed titles separated by an item from musical notation (the former is an opera while the latter is a song from said opera, the third names the composer and one of his songs). The last chapter is a retelling of the final scene of the TV series, except instead of Masao and the Neo-Fangires, Kiva-la comes to warn them about the Lion Fangire having turned into a giant Sabbat.

- "Roots of the King" is the theme song for Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and his son Kamen Rider Saga. On September 13, 2008, Naruse announced on the Avex Movie blog for Kiva that the next single to be released by TETRA-FANG was to be titled "Roots of the KING." He also refers to the song as "Roots of the King" on his personal blog, which has since become the title of the song.
Avex's blog for Kiva mentions a song entitled "Bite There Soul" that was written by Naruse and YUJI as a heavy metal song played by street musicians in episode 9 which was planned to be released at a future date, and was subsequently put on the final CD box set as "Bite Their Soul" then released on January 21, 2009. A mini-album released on August 6, 2008, titled SUPERNOVA features the theme songs for Kiva's four additional forms performed by TETRA-FANG. The tracks include "Innocent Trap",, "Shout in the Moonlight", and "Supernova", which has a music video included in a special DVD edition of SUPERNOVA. An unfeatured song from SUPERNOVA titled "Silent Shout" is Dogga Form's theme. Another track from the album "Message" is a tribute song for the character Otoya Kurenai.
Kouhei Takeda has recorded a song titled "This love never ends" as the theme song for Otoya as Ixa. Nana Yanagisawa and Yu Takahashi have also provided their voices for tracks to be included on an album for all characters who have become Kamen Rider Ixa. This song has since been revealed to be titled "Feel the same" on an album titled Inherited-System. Other songs on this album include "Don't Lose Yourself" performed by Keisuke Kato as Keisuke Nago and "Inherited-System" performed by the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization (素晴らしき青空の会, Subarashiki Aozora no Kai). Kenji Matsuda as Jiro performs the song "Keep alive" for the album. For a TETRA-FANG album titled DESTINY, Koji Seto has recorded the vocals for a song titled "Mind garden." Several songs from this album are theme songs for the members of the Checkmate Four group: "Lightning to Heaven" for the Rook, "Exterminate Time" for the King (Kamen Rider Dark Kiva), "Eternity Blood" for the Bishop, and "Rainy Rose" for the Queen (Maya). Also on the album is "Prayer~Message 2", another tribute to Otoya.
An album titled Masked Rider Kiva Re-Union was released on June 24, 2009, with some original Kiva songs rearranged. "Destiny's Play" has been rearranged, Koji Seto & Shouma Yamamoto sang "Roots of the King" together, Koji Seto gave his own rendition of "This love never ends", and Kouhei Takeda gave his own rendition of "Supernova".
