Kaoru Kino is a former antagonist turned anti-hero in the Kamen Rider Agito. He is one of the characters who has been gifted the power of Agito, which allows him to transform into Kamen Rider Another Agito.
History[]
Kaoru was a surgeon with intellect, but an accident in the snowy mountains ruined his career and killed his brother Masato. The accident left his right arm severely frostbitten, eventually forcing it to be amputated. Ironically, the surgeon ended up replacing Kino's arm with his deceased brother's. This traumatic event would have long-lasting effects on his mental and emotional health that would continue for many years to come.
Kino was eventually caught up in the incident on the Akatsuki, and was one of the people awakened by the Overlord of Light. Over time, his powers matured, allowing him to transform into "Another Agito". Unfortunately, this power only escalated Kino's manic state even further, as he became convinced that he was the only one who could defeat the threat of his master. His delusions ultimately motivated him to try to eliminate Tsugami Shoichi, the first Kamen Rider Agito. Though the workings of his brother's arm would occasionally get in the way, Kino would not be humbled until he was defeated by Kamen Rider Exceed Gills. From that point on, he continued to help other riders, even after the Overlord took away his powers.
He later performs a minor operation on Shoichi in an attempt to remove Eliquis Likar's feathers from his body, during which Kino admits that it was not because of Agito's powers that he was corrupted, but rather because of his own weakness as a human. Kino then regains his strength thanks to Shoichi, and is able to aid the group in defeating Eliquis Likar. After the battle, Kino goes for coffee with both Majima and Ryo, encouraging Majima that he can become a doctor, before finally dying from the injuries Falco sustained earlier. However, he dies with a smile on his face, dreaming that he can save his brother in an accident on the snowy mountain.
