==History==
===Background===
Daichi Kamijo was a member of the Sword of Logos and the original Kamen Rider Saber, wielding Kaenken Rekka. He was close friends with Hayato Fukamiya to be a friend and often sparred with him. He also posed for a photo with Hayato and Sophia. Fifteen years ago, Kamijo learnt of Hayato's treachery of unleashing the Megid and using Luna to bridge between Earth and Wonder World in order to seize the Almighty Book. Kamijo fought him as Saber but is forced to defend a young Touma Kamiyama. After being forced out of transformation and Luna disappears, Kamijo protects Touma from a horde of Shimi by telling him to steel his resolves and find hope.
Once after Kamijo unleashes a huge explosion, he stares down the Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book in Touma's hands and leaves to pursue Hayato. Disheartened by his now former friend's actions, the two engage in a duel, with Kamijo emerging as the victor after cutting Hayato down. Questioning his friend's betrayal, Kamijo picks up Ankokuken Kurayami and sees a vision of the future and the world's destruction. Discovering the Sword of Logo's true intentions, he gets up with newfound resolve and abandons Kaenken Rekka in a void. Promising to protect the world, he began to collaborate with the Megid to uncover the truth his friend died trying to get, as well as exposing the traitor who manipulated him.
===A Chance Rises Again===
Fifteen years later, Kamen Rider Calibur announced to the Megid that a new world will arrive. He handed the Gansekiou Golem Alter Ride Book to Legeiel in order to manifest the Golem Megid. However, the novelist Touma Kamiyama would put a stop to the threat as he becomes the latest incarnation of Kamen Rider Saber, pleasing Calibur as his successor wielded the missing key for his plan. With the arrival of the new Saber, he informs the Megid generals that the other swordsmen will arrive soon. He would make his presence known to Saber after defeating the Hanzaki Megid, only to be pushed away by Kento Fukamiya as Kamen Rider Espada.
After releasing Desast, he attempts to retrieve Kaenken Rekka and the Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book back from Touma. When both swordsmen witness a spark between Brave Dragon and Jakku Dragon, Calibur's suspicions about Saber are confirmed to be true, but is forced to withdraw when Espada got in his way. While Calibur sought to reach Avalon, Storious provided him with an alternative in order to reach the realm. Upon arriving at Avalon, Calibur attempt to gain the power in that realm but is stopped by Kento and Touma Kamiyama manages to claim the King of Arthur Wonder Ride Book.
Following several battles with Saber, his identity as Daichi Kamijo would later be revealed after being overwhelmed by Saber, Blades, and Espada in their Wonder Combo states. Touma recognized him as the previous Saber who saved him fifteen years ago, while Kento angrily questioned what happened to his father. In order to surpass the Kamen Riders, Kamjio gained the power of Jaoh Dragon to become a formidable adversary against his former guild. In the process, Kento would be put in critical condition and would disappear into the darkness because of Calibur Jaoh Dragon.
Kamijo prepares to use Ankokuken Kurayami to create a portal to reach the Almighty Book. However, he didn't account for the fact of Touma Kamiyama's evolution into Saber Dragonic Knight, but still stood on his pursuit to search for the "truth". Having set up six locations to be erased, Kamijo went to obtain the Almighty Book through a portal, Touma interrupted him and they went to the Wonder World. While they battle, Calibur attempted to send Saber into the darkness, but is defeated once Touma overcame Ankokuken Kurayami's power of Raimeiken Ikazuchi.
===Death===
While facing Touma Kamiyama, Kamijo revealed the truth about the incident fifteen years ago and how Kento's father was manipulated by an unknown enemy within the Sword of Logos. Kamijo expressed his desire to uncover the true enemy, hence why he took up the mantle as Kamen Rider Calibur. Although Kamijo lost to Touma, he realized his mistakes and begged Touma to find the truth in his stead, confident that he will able to uncover the truth and finding Luna. As Kamijo warned Touma about this dangerous path, he was killed by Desast, who retrieved his Alter Ride Book. During his last breath, Kamijo entrusts Ankokuken Kurayami to Touma, before dying from his injuries.
===Post-mortem===
Although Kamijo genuinely sought to discover the one who corrupted Hayato, Touma never forgave him for his sins, due to him hurting innocent people just to find the truth. However, Touma agreed with about the possibility that there was a traitor in the Sword of Logos. While he was forced to leave the Sword of Logos after his allies turned against them, Touma was able to repair his friendships and together uncover the current Master Logos as the true traitor within the Sword of Logos, achieving what Kamijo was not able to do.
Legeiel claims that Kamijo was simply another pawn of the Megid's ultimate plan. Even though Kamijo had entrusted the Ankokuken Kurayami to Touma, who wanted his successor to bring back Kento from the World of Darknesshttps://www.kamen-rider-official.com/saber/27, his Seiken and Wonder Ride Books were stolen by Reika Shindai, which were later in the possession of Kento Fukamiya.
During the final battle against Storious, the spirits of Kamijo and Hayato came one last time to aid Sophia, who had taken up the mantle of Calibur to fight alongside the swordsmen.
==Video Game Appearances==
== Personality==
Initially, Kamijo demonstrated the desire to protect the world from evil, which was inherited by his successor Touma Kamiyama. However, after realizing that there was a traitor within the Sword of Logos, he became disillusioned and decided to take the burden of finding the truth on himself, abandoning his comrades in the process since he couldn't trust the organization anymore. He began to believe that the current world was artificially created and destined to end due to him wielding Ankokuken Kurayami, akin to his fallen friend Hayato, albeit in a shorter period of time. As a result, he became more brutal and cold-blooded, willing to sacrifice innocent people to achieve his goals, which included Kento, the son of his late friend. 
Though he was shown to be cold, Kamijo actually wished to honor Hayato's wish by protecting his son Kento, though he was forced to seal him inside Kurayami to do so. Also, he willingly showed himself to Touma as Calibur, as he never wanted him to be involved in all of the events the War of Wonder World wrought. Furthermore, Kamijo hoped that Touma would actually live a normal life by saving him, expressing that he genuinely cared for the young man he saved 15 years ago and that he cared about Kento.
Despite his actions and sins, Kamijo does in fact regret his cold-hearted actions and properly admitted his defeat to Touma, hoping he doesn't make the same mistakes he did for the past 15 years.

==Notes==
*It has been foreshadowed throughout the series that the current Kamen Rider Calibur wasn't Hayato Fukamiya, but actually Daichi Kamijo the entire time: 
**This Calibur used a vocal modulator to disguise his voice, a similar practice used by Kamen Rider Genm in Ex-Aid and Night Rogue in Build. Although Hayato's name was revealed in episode 5, Calibur continues to disguise his voice and had never acknowledged or explicitly referred himself to be Hayato even after the revelation.
**Production-wise, Hirayama is uncredited during his out-of-suit appearances with his actual face obscured and voice still disguised. In these appearances, he sports a shorter hair style and wears a business suit instead of the standard SoL uniform.
***He has a photo of Hayato, Sophia, and himself together, before closing the fold on the shot of himself, foreshadowing his true identity.
**In most of Kento Fukamiya's interactions with this Calibur, the latter would end up ignoring and violently pushing away Hayato's son, instead being fixated on Touma Kamiyama instead.
**Before being retaken by Touma, this Calibur was in possession of the Saiyuu Journey Wonder Ride Book, one of the three Wonder Ride Books that are compatible with Kaenken Rekka. 
*Even after his true identity is revealed, Kamijo's transformation sequence into Calibur does not use typical CGI backgrounds seen with the first six Sword of Logos Riders seen in the series.
*Kamijo is the first Saber Rider to not name any of his finishers.
