Story Kamen Rider Kiva

Wataru Kurenai, who has been missing for 22 years, now resides in a notorious “haunted house” and will soon become Kamen Rider Kiva, fighting the same race of life-sucking monsters known as Fangires that his father fought before he vanished.

Along with the Fangires’ own Rider, Kamen Rider Saga, Wataru also has to battle with Kamen Rider Ixa, a member of a group working to eradicate the threat posed by the Fangires.

In order to gradually reveal the connection between the Fangire Race and Kiva, the plot is divided between Wataru’s deeds in the present (2008–2009) and those of his father Otoya in the past (1986–1987).

The characters of Kamen Rider Kiva are dispersed throughout two eras, each of which is connected to the other. 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.
