Kamen Rider Habataki

Kamen Rider Habataki is a fictional character in the Kamen Rider Hibiki movie, Kamen Rider Hibiki & the Seven War Demons. Habataki's design is based on the flute and the eagle.

Biography

Habataki is a veteran of many Japanese wars. He settled down after he married and had a son and never fought since. He was found by the group of traveling Oni in his farm. He was hesitant to join because he will have to fight again, but his wife convinces him to join the group. Along the way, Kamen Rider Nishiki is blamed for the slaughter of humans. Habataki sides with Kamen Rider Kabuki, Kamen Rider Ibuki, and Kamen Rider Todoroki when the Oni fought each other due to a conflict of views on protecting humans. He later assisted Hibiki and the other Oni in the final fight against the Makamou and Orochi.

Personality

Habataki is racked with so much self-doubt and indecisiveness. He becomes very hesitant in battle, especially after he married and had a son. His self-doubt is clearly displayed when it took his wife to convince him to join the Oni.

Weapons and gear

* Henshin Onsa (Gold Tuning Fork): Habataki's henshin device. He taps this tuning fork and sets it in front of his face while it vibrates. He shouts out 'Habataki' before the transformation takes place. It is unusual for him to use this henshin device, because he is a wind/brass type Oni and the Onsa is used by percussion type Oni; thus, he is expected to use the OniBue Onteki (i.e. Kamen Rider Ibuki).
* Ongekimei (Trumpet Buckle): unknown
* Ongeki Flute: Habataki's personal weapon. It is a staff with eagle wings designed at the end. It has a hole on each end and many more along the body. Habataki can use this weapon as a blowdart, then a flute.

ide-Note

* Though only the second Rider to be a father (the first being Kamen Rider Shin), Habataki is the first married Rider.
