Kamen Rider Kiva

Kamen Rider Kiva / Kamen Rider Kiba s the title of the 2008 Kamen Rider Japanese tokusatsu television series produced by Toei Company and Ishimori Productions. Advertisements show a horror film theme to the series, with the motif for Kamen Rider Kiva as a vampire. The advertising slogan for the series is "Wake up! Break the chains of destiny." First story is twenty-two 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 life-draining monsters belonging to the Fangire Clan, the very race his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru must also deal with a second rider in the series named Kamen Rider IXA who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, as well as kill Kiva for being a greater threat than the Fangire themselves. The story is split between the actions of Wataru in the present (2008) and his father Otoya in the past (1986), slowly revealing the story behind the Fangire Clan and Kiva.
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 in the year 1986 that result in the various Fangire that persist to the current day, in 2008, with Otoya's son Wataru (as Kamen Rider Kiva) and Yuri's daughter Megumi (also a Fangire Hunter), dealing with the Fangire to prevent deaths.
The Fangire / Fangaia are stained glass-based vampires who feed off of the Life Energy of humans to survive, with which they can disguise themselves as humans. Because of this, aware humans have formed a group to hunt the Fangire. However, thus far only Kiva and IXA (Keisuke Nago) have been able to defeat and shatter a Fangire. Though Kiva captures its soul, IXA wipes out the Fangire's existence.
