Jiro Maki

is a former member of the radiology department at Seito University Hospital, and a friend of Taiga Hanaya.
==History==
Jiro Maki was Taiga Hanaya's friend and coworker at Seito University Hospital. After they both accidentally uncovered the Bugster Virus through conventional methods, the pair were recruited to CR and underwent the compatibility surgery to become Kamen Riders. However, Jiro was only eligible for a support role due to lacking an immunity against Game Illness. While Taiga was hesistant to accept the offer, Jiro decided that he would go in Taiga's place of his own accord. However, disaster struck as the effect of the Proto Gashat caused Jiro to suffer from hemoptysis before collapsing.
While was brought to the hospital to recuperate, Jiro discovered the Proto Gashat had infected him with the Bugster virus. He went down to CR to warn Taiga of his discovery, who was suffering from the same negative effects due to prolonged usage of the Proto Gashat. As he tried to stop Taiga from transforming, his stress finally took its toll as the Game Illness took effect, causing him to vanish into data.
===Post-mortem===
Jiro Maki was acknowledged by Dr. Emu Hojo as he spoke at a televised press conference by the Ministry of Health as one of the victims of Game Illness, striking a chord with Taiga after hearing his name.
===Revival===
Three years after the end of the Bugster crisis, Kuroto Dan created Zombie Chronicle for humanity to fight against his Zombie Gamers to resurrect a Game Illness victim. After Taiga fought off a Zombie Gamer as Kamen Rider Snipe, this allowed Jiro to come back to life. After warmly greeting his old friend again, Jiro tossed him his white coat as Taiga prepared to fight again.
