==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Mebius===
Kadokura is a coach for the Ducati Motorcycle Racing team and is responsible for guiding the Japanese team in practicing for motorcycle championships. Some time before the series began, Marina joined his team with the goal of becoming the first female racer to compete in the World Championship.
However, Marina's acute sense of hearing allowed her to accurately detect potential motorcycle malfunctions, but it also intensified her fear of collisions. This fear caused her to involuntarily decelerate every time she reached the final lap during peak races. This became a critical weakness in her racing performance, limiting her performance at crucial moments. Kadokura had also advised her to overcome this fear based on these incidents.
===Ultraman Mebius===
When Kadokura first made his appearance, he expressed satisfaction with Marina's performance in the races, as it had garnered the approval of their sponsors. He conveyed his hope that Marina would give her utmost effort in the next race, believing that with her improving performance, dominating the entire Japanese racing scene in the future wouldn't be a challenge, and even competing in the World Championship could be within reach. However, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by a monster disaster warning broadcast on television.
Later, when Mirai and Ryu arrived in search of Marina, who was considered the preferred member for GUYS, Kadokura briefly appeared and informed Marina, who was in the midst of her training.
However, as Marina decided to join GUYS, she had to temporarily put her racing career on hold. Kadokura inquired about when she would return, and Marina could only apologize with a sense of guilt before departing.
Since Marina's departure, the racing team coached by Kadokura had suffered bitter defeats in the Grand Prix preliminaries and faced multiple setbacks. Emotionally downtrodden, Kadokura accepted Marina's invitation and embarked on a touring with her, cycling to Mt. Hachiman. During their journey, they serendipitously encountered Marina's friend who was climbing the mountain, Rinko Sawaki. 
However, as they stumbled upon a camera and clothing in a valley, the three began to suspect that something mysterious had occurred on the mountain. They continued to investigate the scene, only to unexpectedly encounter an attack from Mukadender. In order to evade danger, they quickly sought refuge inside a mountain cave.
After leaving the cave, they encountered another ambush by Mukadender. Marina utilized the capsules from Maquette Monsters to successfully summon Miclas and drive off Mukadender. However, Miclas' power only lasted for a minute before dissipating, enraging Mukadender, who retaliated with searing projectiles, causing them to fall into a valley. Rinko was also injured in this incident.
Kadokura and Marina collaborated to assist Rinko in finding shelter. By listening to the sound of the river, Marina successfully determined the direction. However, Mukadender continued to pursue them. Faced with this situation, Marina decided to divert Mukadender's attention on her own to protect Kadokura and Rinko. Kadokura was concerned that Marina might falter due to past weaknesses, but at this moment, Marina had already overcome that fear with the encouragement of GUYS members. She rode a motorcycle to successfully draw Mukadender's attention.
After Ultraman Mebius defeated Mukadender, Kadokura admitted that he had once hoped Marina would return to the racing team. However, upon discovering her enthusiasm for working with GUYS, he abandoned that idea and encouraged her to move forward.
Some time later, Mirai began preparing to bid farewell to his teammates. After work each day, he would come to Marina's racing team to maintain the motorcycles. Kadokura once again brought up the idea of Marina returning to the team, acknowledging that he had learned through Marina's younger brother that she still harbored a passion for participating in championships. When Mirai asked with a hint of guilt if it was his invitation that led Marina to abandon her initial dreams, Marina expressed her gratitude to Mirai for inviting her to join GUYS. Although she had temporarily set aside her motorcycle career, she did not see her path as a detour but rather a continued and resolute pursuit of her own efforts. Witnessing this, Kadokura respected her decision and offered his support.
