Masato Kazama

Masato Kazama is Gou Kazama's brother and a supporting protagonist in Shichisei Toshin Guyferd. He was converted into the symbiotic Fallah-cyborg warrior Deathferd by Crown and fought his brother, but later turned good and joined Gou in fighting Crown.
He is portrayed by Shigeaki Kano.
==Biography==
Masato trained in Ken'nou-ryu karate alongside his younger brother Gou. While initially Masato was proud of Gou's progress, he soon began to envy his younger brother as Gou's skill came to rival his own.
While Gou was away traveling, Masato was kidnapped by Crown and converted into one of the Guyborgs. His younger brother would also be kidnapped not long after his return home, but escaped and began fighting Crown as the Seven Star Fighting God Guyferd.
Masato would later be used as a test subject for an experiment by Shion to create a cyborg soldier fused with Fallah to counter Guyferd. The procedure was a success and through being exposed to Fallah, Masato was converted into Deathferd. He would soon see action when, at the insistence of Minoh, Shion sent him out to bail out Mister Bicross. Deathferd briefly fought against Guyferd before teleporting away with Bicross before Guyferd could finish him off. Deathferd would then come back as Masato and reunite with his brother.
However, the truth would later come to light when Guyferd attacked Crown's Mutian Lab and was confronted by Deathferd again. Deathferd was sent to fight Gou while Shion detonated the base and escaped with Crown's research, revealing to Gou his true identity and the secret grudge he had harbored against him. While Gou did not want to fight his brother, he was forced to become Guyferd and battle him when Deathferd kept attacking him. Guyferd eventually beat Deathferd, who reverted to being Masato before willing going back into the exploding Mutian Lab and seemingly perishing in the explosion.
However, Masato survived and at some point learned of Zodiac's plans with Gaia Net. Feeling regret for letting his envy get the better of him, Masato rescued Rei, Yuu and Shiroishi from the Gaia Soldier Ranghoul and teamed up with Gou to stop Crown from completing the Gaia Net. After Zodiac kidnapped Gou to use the Dragon Crystal in him to complete the Gaia Net, Masato went with Rei, Yuu, Shiroishi and Detective Nakano to Crown's HQ in Mount Fuji to rescue his brother. Outside the base, they were confronted by Zodiac, leading Masato to become Deathferd and stay behind to fight him while the others went ahead to rescue Gou. After Gou was freed, he became Guyferd and joined Deathferd in battling Zodiac, with the two brothers defeating him with their combined Renki Kyokuseiken. Because the Gaia Net remained active after Zodiac's death however, Gou and Masato went back inside the base to shut it down. Along the way, Kuzan blew himself up to destroy a section of the hallway and keep the brothers from reaching the Gaia Net, but Masato was able to hold up a pillar and allow Gou to pass through. Masato's fate afterward is not known, as we do not see what happened to him or Gou when Gou caused the Gaia Net to explode, though Rei and Yuu both hoped that they were able to survive.
