Kamen Rider Kiva is composed of the following parts:
*: The head.
**: The blue-green jewel on the forehead. It amplifies Kiva's by several to tens of times. In this world, a blue Demon Emperor Stone is much more valuable than a crimson/red Demon Emperor Stone (such as those found in Kiva's Arms Weapons). It can accumulate and amplify demonic energy, and serves as a restraint to prevent the demon energy from exploding.
**: The red 'bat head'/guard plate section on the forehead that houses the Demon Emperor Stone. It serves to protect the Demon Emperor Stone. It's red coloration is due to the Demon Emperor Stone's influence.
**: The red sections on top of the Omni Lens. It's coloring is due to the influence of the Demon Emperor Stone. This crimson crown can emit ultrasonic waves to utilise echolocation to grasp surroundings if Kiva's view is obstructed. In can collect information such as enemy position up to 5000 meters away.
**: Silver sections embedded behind the Crown Sonar. They are cooling boards that prevents the user's brain from being destroyed due to the vast amounts of demonic power amplified by the Demon Emperor Stone. It is made of , which has the to suppress demonic power from exploding. It has five heat-dissipating ducts on each side of the head to cool down heat energy swirling within the helmet.
**: The eyes. They are visual amplification devices that can obtain visual information at a distance of 500 meters forward and at a 220° angle. It also has an X-ray function that allows Kiva to see through 10 meter-thick steel plating. A nanoscope function is also incorporated, allowing Kiva to detect extremely small objects such as bacteria.
**: An olfactory amplification device located between the eyes. It gives Kiva detection abilities equivalent to a dog's, allowing Kiva to obtain a sense of smell one million more times than a human. The Wild Nose can track a Fangire's location by sniffing out their odor and footprints.
**: Hearing amplifiers. It's sensitivity can be raised according to the wearer's will, and if sensitivity is raised to the maximum, Kiva can discern the sound of a needle falling up to 3km away.
**: The silver mouth plate. It is actually a set of metal tusks crafted out of sharpened . It has a jaw force of 1.2t and can chew through a metal ball that is about 8cm in diameter. An air purifier is installed inside to decompose and purify toxins. It also takes in and purifies all substances necessary for breathing from the surrounding air; this function even works within a vacuum state.
*: The black choker device on the base of the neck area. Among monsters, a necklace that imitates a demon's face is a favorite decoration of those with power. Among lower monsters, it is said that they just look at this decoration. In other words, the Darkness Choker serves no real functional purpose and is just decoration.
*: The red chest segment. It is where Kiva's power is stored. it's red coloring is due to the fact that this is where the most demonic power is accumulated. It sends power to the whole body via it's black blood vessels that have been branched in layers.
*: The chest armor. It is a strong auxiliary armor that protects Kiva's body, and at the same time functions as a restraint to suppress potential explosion of demonic power. It is made out of Lucifer Metal and has been coated in Trysilvania Silver to further suppress demonic power.
*: The shoulder armor. They are restraints that suppresses Kiva's power amplification. Kiva's power, which has been activated by Kivat and amplified by the Demon Emperor Stone, is immeasurable and could potentially cause Kiva to self-destruct. Hence the need for restraints.
*: Chains wrapped around the shoulders and the right leg. It is crafted out of Lucifer Metal and is coated with Trysilvania Silver. Furthermore, a seal has been engraved on it's surface to prevent explosion from demonic power overload. (Note: 'Catena' is Italian for 'chain'.)
*: Kiva's bodysuit. It is a tough inner suit made from the leather of the Black Dragon , and has been processed by using the same dragon's fangs. It protects the wearer from extreme weather conditions, weather it be burning hot or freezing cold. It is extremely difficult to pierce with currently existing bullets and knives.
*: Demonic power amplification bracelets located on the wrists. Red Demon Emperor Stones are embedded. The power of the stones amplify Kiva's power several times giving Kiva superhuman strength. It has been coated with Trysilvania Silver for easier control.
*: An energy flow path used to distribute Kiva's power across the whole body. By using Kivat's body as the 'core', it has the function of efficiently circulating the power of the demon throughout the whole body.
*: The kneecaps. Not only do they protect Kiva's knees, but they also serve as a resistor to control the demonic power flowing into the feet.
*: The metal right leg restrainer. It is forged out of . This restraint, dubbed the , opens up when Kiva utilizes the Wake Up Fuestle, allowing the Catena chains to open up, fully opening Hell's Gate. When opened, it resembles bat wings, and serve to ensure that kicks from a high altitude land on targets. It's tip is made of Lucifer Metal, and is as sharp as diamond. It's insides have been dyed crimson due to the influence of the Demon Emperor Stones. It also plays the role of power release plates, diffusing and emitting any power that rebounds during impact.
**: The red parts encasing the right leg. They are fixtures that hold the demon stones in place while keeping the right leg from exploding. Originally, it had a silver coloration due to it being crafted out of Trysilvania, but has been dyed red due to the influence and power of the stones. it has been designed to invoke the face of the legendary Demon King's face, which has been handed down between monsters.
**: A golden Blood Vessel that flows demonic power through the Demon Emperor Stones of the air, sea and land via bottleneck effect.
**: The top stone located on the upper right leg. It amplifies demonic power with the power of the . After passing through the Blood Vessel, the first area where demonic power is accumulated, demonic power is sent through the Demon Emperor Stones. From there onwards, power is amplified twice as usual, allowing Kiva to utilise great power.
**: The middle stone located on the lower right leg. It recieves demonic power from the Demon Emperor Stone of the Air and further amplifies it. It is said that the resides in here, and with it's power the demonic energy is twice amplified. At this point, demonic energy has been amplified four times.
**: The lowest stone located on the right foot. With the help of the , amplified energy is amplified to the maximum. The reason for dividing the amplification process into three stages is a precaution against the possible destruction of Kiva during the process. At this point, demonic energy has been amplified by a factor of eight, giving Kiva enough energy to execute the Darkness Moon Break.
**: The right foot. A red Demon Emperor Stone is fitted on the sole, where demonic energy flows out of during the Darkness Moon Break. By releasing energy amplified by all three Demon Emperor Stones at once, tremendous destructive power is unleashed.
*: The ankle armor. The right leg's Balancer Anklet ia hidden within Hell's Gate. The power contained within is far greater than ordinary people. While keeping the power balance with the right leg evenly, it can deliver an explosive destructive power of about 8 tons even with a regular kick in a restrained state.
Kamen Rider Kiva has the following finishers:
*: By having Kivat blow the Wake Up Fuestle, the Catena chains binding the on Kiva's right leg break open. Kiva then performs a powerful kick with an impact of 30,000 kg, enough to leave a crater in the shape of a bat's wings (Kiva's insignia) on any surface upon contact; the glass body of a Fangire shatters almost instantly. Kiva can also perform a stronger variation of the Darkness Moon Break when engulfed in Castle Doran's fire. When the Darkness Moon Break is performed, day turns into night and a crescent moon appears in the sky.
*: Exclusive to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride, Kiva jumps into the air and strike the opponent with a strengthened punch.
This form is exclusive to Kiva Episode 48

==Behind the Scenes==
===Portrayal===
Masao Kurenai is portrayed by Kouhei Takeda, who previously portrayed Otoya Kurenai and later Kazumi Sawatari in Build.
==Notes==
*For a period of time, Masao's Kiva form was erroneously referred to as "New Kiva" by English-speaking fans.
*As Masao only appears in the finale, his version of Kiva essentially reuses the original Kiva's suit, with the Kivat Belt being digitally recolored in post-production.
*Assuming Masao is in his early twenties by the year 2031, this would mean Wataru sired him soon after the events of Kamen Rider Kiva, if not during the year 2008-2009.
