==History==
He is a mysterious man who is the Joker Undead, the most fearsome of the Undead as his victory in the Battle Fight would mark the end of all life on Earth. Unsealed around the time the other Undead were released, Joker battled the Mantis Undead and uses the sealed Category Ace of Hearts (Change Mantis) to become the wild card Kamen Rider Chalice. He later seals the Human Undead, who willingly surrendered to him without resistance, using the card to assume human form. The effect of prolonged use of both of these cards to assume their forms resulted in both the Human Undead's compassion for life and the Mantis Undead's fighting spirit collectively suppressing Chalice's natural destructive impulse as the Joker.
However, many of the Royal Club Undead who knew his true identity made attempts to dispose of him. One such attempt by the Giraffa Undead ended with an innocent bystander named Shin Kurihara a.k.a. Amane's father witnessing the battle being mortally wounded by accident in the skirmish. The dying photographer handed him a photograph of his family and Joker decides to protect his family in which he did to atone for his death. The Joker took on the identity of freelance photographer Hajime Aikawa since then. He never had good luck with humans, due to the misunderstandings, misgivings and misfortunes he has from a few he encountered seeing him only as a monster such as a mother & child he saved from the Shell Undead, only for his hands to get slapped away in fear & Jin Ichinose, who ungratefully blames him for destroying his lifelong dream. But despite how less he thinks of humanity, Hajime's time living at Jacaranda Cafe with Kurihara's family warmed him up to humans and eventually, he wished for himself to be human instead of being the Joker.
Though he and Kenzaki disliked each other earlier, Hajime's growing humanity eventually warms up to Kenzaki, who becomes a dear friend of his, then Garren and later to a limited extent, Mutsuki as well. However, when the Caucasus Undead takes most of his cards, the sealed Mantis Undead among them, it causes Hajime to regress back into the Joker after attempting to resist until Leangle unseals Hajime's cards and use the Undead against him. Even after managing to reseal them all, the Joker failed to regain control and goes on a rampage until he is provided with the Evolution Paradoxa, allowing Hajime to finally have full control of himself. This allows him to even assume Wild Form, which he previously avoided to the best of his abilities, without losing control. This lasted until the Giraffa Undead was sealed, with Hajime losing control and his impulse as Joker bringing forth with the Monolith creating his army of Darkroachi to eliminate all humans.
In the end, Kenzaki is the only one to fight him head-on, with Hajime pleading Kenzaki to defeat and seal him. However, Kenzaki himself mutates into the Joker through the excessive use of King Form transformation in order to save Hajime and made his victory null, continuing the fight, retracting all unleashed Dark Roaches and prolonging destruction indefinitely. This effectively renders them rivals by instinct and they can never see each other again, or they would be forced to fight to the death for dominance the next time they meet. Moments after the battle, Hajime lives with the Kurihara family and was allowed to keep his Spirit Card to maintain the human disguise.

==Personality==
Due his origin as the Joker Undead, Hajime was initially hostile towards others, treating only the Kurihara family with some kindness, out of his promise with Amane's father. Viewing humanity as a whole to be weak and useless, Hajime would antagonize the BOARD Riders on several occasions, seeing them as enemies.
From his life with Amane and her mother, as well as Kenzaki's acts of altruism though, Hajime gradually learnt the importance of compassion and empathy, causing him to recognize humanity's strength and worth. This would allow Hajime to become a more sympathetic individual, to the point of protecting complete stranger from any serious dangers.
Despite gaining a new outlook on life, Hajime would occasionally struggle with his nature as an Undead, going berserk on several occasions. Furthermore, his view towards the Undead race remain largely the same, feeling that destiny will force him to defeat every single one of his brethren. As such, Hajime would occasionally doubt himself, fearing that he would ultimately fulfill his role as the Joker Undead.
Upon inadvertently winning the Battle Fight, Hajime almost completely succumbed to his instincts as an Undead, forcing him to begin exterminating all life on Earth. Despite his best attempts to stop himself, Hajime could only barely control his own actions, slowly becoming more feral with time. 
Facing Kenzaki as his last obstacle, Hajime pleaded to his friend to end the mindless chaos, not wishing to continue living as a monster. At the end of their battle, Hajime learnt of Kenzaki's plan to mutate into an Undead, feeling immense guilt at what he had unknowingly caused. Kenzaki however, encouraged Hajime that they could choose their own destiny, promising to one day overcome his fate as an Undead. Respecting his friend's decision, Hajime resumed living among humanity, with he and the others silently awaiting for Kenzaki's return.
==Powers and Abilities==
*Biological Immortality: As an Undead, Hajime can survive from any physical injuries, no matter how grave they may be.
*Undead Mimicking: Hajime is able to use a sealed Undead's Rouse Card to obtain said Undead's form and powers.
*Undead Tracking: As Undeads are attracted to each other by instinct.
*World Destruction: As a Joker, if he is the only Undead existing in a world, that world will be destroyed.
==Forms==
==Equipment==
*Chalice Rouzer: Chalice's transformation device
*Card Deck: Cards holder
*Rouse Cards: Allow Chalice to transform into Undead or perform special attacks
*Chalice Arrow: Chalice's personal weapon
*Wild Slasher: Wild Chalice's primary weapon
*Shadow Chaser: Chalice's Rider Machine
==Legend Rider Devices==
==Relationships==
*Kamen Riders:
**Kazuma Kenzaki/Blade: Hajime initially viewed Kenzaki as a foe, rebuffing his offer of becoming allies. However, Kenzaki's actions would slowly convince Hajime to trust him as a friend, recognizing his kindness and strength to be genuine. When learning of Kenzaki's decision to mutate into an Undead, Hajime initially became ridden with guilt, understanding that Kenzaki had sacrificed his humanity to stop Hajime's Darkroaches from exterminating all life on Earth. From Kenzaki's words of assurance though, Hajime decided to place faith in his friend, hoping that Kenzaki would one day return home.
**Tachibana Sakuya/Garren: Like his view towards Kenzaki, Hajime initially saw Tachibana as an enemy, with the feeling being mutual. From Kenzaki's actions though, both Hajime and Tachibana came to trust one another, becoming allies in battle. Even when given the chance to seal Hajime as the Joker Undead, Tachibana would ultimately relent, placing faith in him. 
**Mutsuki Kamijo/Leangle: Due to the Spider Undead's influence toward Mutsuki, he and Hajime were bitter foes at first, both sides antagonizing one another. Once Mutsuki finally regained his former self though, the two would become allies, both fighting alongside one another as Kamen Riders. However, Hajime has occasionally clashed with Mutsuki over their views to the nature of Undeads, with Hajime believing that all Undeads are fated to fight one another, no matter the situation. Yet, Hajime's concern toward Mutsuki never waned, to the point of sparing him in his berserk state as the Joker Undead
*Others:
**Amane Kurihara: Hajime initially viewed Amane as somewhat of an object to learn about humanity, though his concern towards her and her mother appeared genuine. From the time he spent with the Kurihara family however, Hajime grew very fond of Amane and her mother, seeing them as his own family.
**Kotaro Shirai: Shirai had his protective doubts about him after learning from Kenzaki he's an Undead. But in time, he came to accept him when around his sister & Amane.
**Shiori Hirose: TBA

===Portrayal===
Hajime Aikawa is portrayed by . As Kamen Rider Chalice, his suit actor was .
===Meme===
*In episode 6, Hajime's warning to Kenzaki was popularly spread across the Internet due to his humorous facial expression, labeled as by the Japanese community due to Hajime's slurring of the line making it sound like . This is also acknowledged as part of the Ondul family meme that was spawned by Kazuma Kenzaki in the original series. Actor Ryoji Morimoto has re-enacted this line during his appearances in public events.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhZ4TRueNY0https://twitter.com/yamashiron_yam/status/933265718321102848
*There is a dirty joke from some Japanese fans that he is confronting due to the first line of his insert song, Take it a try, with the chorus heavily misheard by them.

==Notes==
*As acknowledged in the hero change battle between Kamen Rider Decade and in , the Riders of Kamen Rider Blade share their card motifs with the from Shotaro Ishinomori's second and last series . Chalice's Hearts motif would make him Blades equivalent of . His true identity as the Joker would also make him the equivalent of .
*Hajime's name, which means "Beginning", is both ironic and symbolic: It is ironic, because he is supposed to bring about the end of the world, but it is also symbolic since his role as the Joker Undead is to begin a new Battle Fight, once exterminating all mortal life present.
*Kamen Riders Garren and Chalice were the focus of a long-running fan debate regarding their status as the Secondary Rider. Toei and Bandai had confirmed Garren to be the Secondary Rider through video games and merchandising placing Garren with the position.
**From the show's debut in 2004, Chalice was already considered a Tertiary Rider., but strangely their roles are reversed in one marketing promo for Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer.
**Part of this misconception may stem from the fact that in both of Blade's opening sequences, Hajime's actor is given second billing right after Kenzaki's actor. In most Kamen Rider openings, second billing is given to either the season's secondary Rider or a supporting character who has a very close relationship with the main Rider.
