Kujira

The , often known as , is a former member of the Gorgom Party tasked with the elimination of Kotaro Minami. After his failed mission, he becomes an ally to the protagonists and Aoi Izumi, acting as a supporting member of their cause.
==History==
Seeing that the Creation King had grown less powerful over time, the three High Priests went after Kotaro for information on the Kingstone, so that a new Creation King could be made. After the fall of both the Spider and Anemone Kaijin, Kujira was ordered to do the job.
He came to Kotaro's place and demanded the Kingstone, only to learn that the latter wished for the Kaijin race to disappear from the planet. Outraged by this attitude, Kujira transformed and tried to take the intel by force. He was, however, unable to defeat the Black Locust Kaijin in battle, only escaping with his life thanks to Aoi Izumi's intervention. This loss, alongside hearing Kotaro's world view, gradually led him to reevaluate his life as a Kaijin, and he eventually decided to stay away from Gorgom's actions.
Kujira saved Aoi from her own father, who had been turned into the Crab Kaijin, sent to take her Kingstone. He was forced to kill him right in front of the young girl to protect her from harm. When Kotaro arrived, he suspected Kujira of having harmed Aoi, but she immediately defended the Kaijin from his accusations.
Some time later, Kujira joined other Gorgom renegades Nomi and Koumori in a hideout. They nursed a grievously injured Kotaro back to health, after the latter had been in a grueling fight against the Creation King. Unknown to them at that point, Nobuhiko had become disillusioned with humanity and wished to become the new Creation King to enslave them. He came to Kujira's place to demand the Kingstone from Kotaro, viciously beating the latter up to near death for not yielding. While Shadowmoon did get his hand on one half of the Stone, the three were able to escape with Black Sun. Kujira took the unconscious body of Kotaro to another hideout to revive him, using a regenerative extract to speed up his natural healing processes. Eventually, Kotaro recovered, consumed a pack of Heat Heaven to restore his full strength and successfully stopped Nobuhiko. Nevertheless, he was turned into the new Creation King against his will, resulting in his death at the hands of Aoi.
Kujira was last shown having joined Aoi's new resistance group, helping training recruits in combat so that they could fight against social injustice alongside the young girl.
==Personality==
Kujira was initially shown to be melancholic and aloof, only concerned about himself and the survival of the Kaijin Race. He was acquainted with Koumori, being a good friend of his, and although not confirmed, was implied to have known Kotaro back in 1972. After being spared, he would become conflicted regarding his sense of purpose, discussing with Kotaro how he did not really seem to know who he was anymore. Despite his past with the Gorgom Party, Kujira was loyal to his friends and allies, as he was willing to save Aoi from the Crab Kaijin, to the point of eventually siding with her and the other defected Kaijin to break away from Gorgom, despite knowing that Shadowmoon is after him. On a more humorous note, Kujira appeared somewhat irritable and impatient, as he would shout at Nomi to shut up and hurry as the latter drove away with him to escape Shadowmoon's wrath.
==Powers==
Through his willpower, Kujira transforms into a humanoid Blue Whale Kaijin with a whale head and fin-like arms. However, like most Kaijin, he is outmatched by the superior Century Kings and does not completely transform, as evidenced by remnants of his human face that his whale head bursts out of when he transforms.
*Water Emission: As the Whale Kaijin, Kujira can spray jets of scalding-hot water from the blowhole on his head. 
*Superhuman Strength: Kujira is at least somewhat stronger than most of the standard Kaijin and was able to stand up to Black Sun. He was also able to use his fins to gruesomely rip off the Crab Kaijin's abdominal apron and carried Black Sun's unconscious body through the water with relative ease.
*Enhanced Lung Capacity: As a Kaijin with the abilities of a Blue Whale, Kujira is able to hold his breath for extended periods of time, allowing him to advance underwater.
*Enhanced Stamina: Kujira was able to swim for an unknown duration of time while carrying Black Sun's body and severed leg without showing any signs of fatigue.
==Abilities==
*Medical Knowledge: After taking Kotaro's body to his lair, Kujira was able to keep the former's condition stable long enough for Koumori, Nomi, Bilgenia and Aoi to arrive at his lair for them to continue the job. He also possessed knowledge of how to use the regenerative extract, implying that he had at least some level of medical knowledge.
*Combat Capabilities: Despite being a lower-ranking Kaijin, Kujira was able to survive a battle with Black Sun and was (barely) able to win against the Crab Kaijin.
===Weaknesses===
*Decreased Dexterity: While transformed, Kujira's fingers (with the exception of his thumb) are fused into fins, which interferes with his dexterity when handling objects.

==Notes==
* Kujira's character is a nod to the Whale Mutant in Kamen Rider Black, as they both saved the main hero from near death after the latter had been defeated by Shadow Moon.
