Hideo Kawamoto

is the father of Aoi Izumi and husband of Rino Kawamoto. He is transformed into the Crab Kaijin by Bilgenia to hunt his own daughter for the Kingstone.
==History==
Hideo and Rino were given one half of the Kingstone by Oliver Johnson at some point for safekeeping, which would later be handed to their own daughter Aoi. By 2022, the two had become wanted by the Gorgom Party, who also desired the Kingstone to make a new Creation King.
One day, on their way back home to meet Aoi, Hideo and his wife were captured by Bilgenia's men and subsequently tortured for intel on the Kingstone. While they did not tell the villain anything, he did manage to uncover a film reel in their luggage, which detailed Michinosuke Donami's involvement in experiments on humans.
To retrieve the other half of the Kingstone from Aoi, Bilgenia turned Hideo into the Crab Kaijin against his will, sending him to Kotaro Minami's place so that he could see the daughter. While walking with the girl, Hideo transformed into his Kaijin form and tried to harm Aoi, only to be stopped by Kujira. Seeing that Hideo had no control over his transformation, Kujira was forced to kill him to protect Aoi, who would give her father's remains a proper burial in due course.
The film reel found in his luggage would eventually come into his own daughter's possession, giving her hard evidence to expose the Donamis' crimes to the United Nations afterwards.
