## History

### Background

Go Tamaki was once an ordinary high school student who was close friends with Yosuke Okuda. One day, a group of popular students pressured his friend to turn against Tamaki by ripping his prized trading card. This drove him to leave the school and recruited by the Deadmans, where Tamaki met Aguilera. Drawn by her presence, he would go on to become an executive of the group. In time, he casted away his birth name and became known as "Julio". At some point after joining the cult, Julio would awaken and fuse with his inner demon to become a Gifftex.

### The Deadmans Crisis

Julio, along with Aguilera and Orteca, were first seen leading the Deadmans' rally by using the Vistamps to summon Giff Juniors from their cult followers who cheered for them. Julio participated in the attack on the Fenix ceremony with their army of Giff Juniors. The Deadmans march forward to declare their intentions to create hell on Earth, before the executives made their leave. In the end, Ikki Igarashi managed to contract with his demon, Vice, in order to become Kamen Riders Revi and Vice to combat the Deadmans.

Julio would become involved in the frontlines with the Deadmans and coming across Revice on a couple occasions as the Wolf Deadman. Julio had also joined Sakura's karate dojo under his original name "Go Tamaki" to position himself close to her. The Deadmans would form an alliance with Kamen Rider Evil, Kagero, to implode the Igarashi family. During the Igarashi's vacation trip at the ryokan, Julio was undercover as an employee but eventually revealed himself to Sakura of his true identity the next day.

### Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations

Julio, along with his fellow Deadmans executives, venture into an old Shocker base to release the demon Diablo. They also carry the Crisper Stamps, containing the genetic information of historical figures. The Deadmans joined along Diablo's plan to enact world domination. This led to Fenix's Kamen Riders joining forces with the Sword of Logos, and Diablo would be vanquished by their combined forces.

### The Giff Ceremony

With the Deadmans close to obtain six Giftex, Julio has remained deeply loyal to Aguilera and willing to sacrifice his own life to awaken Giff and please her. Unbeknownst to him, Orteca and the other Gifftex secretly plotted to turn Aguilera into the final sacrifice to resurrect Giff. Julio strongly opposed it but was unable to stand up to them. During the sacrificial ceremony, Fenix suddenly raided the Deadmans' hideout and obstructed the ritual. Julio tried to rescue Aguilera during the chaos, but was knocked unconscious by Orteca's sneak attack.

After the Deadmans' base was destroyed by Kamen Rider Revice, Julio was also rescued the pair. Angered by Orteca's treachery, Julio attacked him but later evacuated to follow Aguilera as they plot their next move. The angry Aguilera transformed into the Queen Bee Deadman and attacked Ikki, allowing the remaining Deadman executives members to flee. Julio was able to escape with Aguilera and both hide out at an abandoned factory, while he tries to cheer her up.

### Finding True Purpose

Julio remains loyal to Aguilera despite their major loss against Fenix and tries to encourage her to keep smiling. However, he resented Orteca for betraying them as the latter continued operating the Deadmans on his own to unleash the Gifftarians. He decided cast back hto Go Tamaki again after Sakura learnt of his past, Tamaki reunited with his old friend Yosuke and almost mended fences. However, Orteca spitefully turns Yosuke into a Gifftarian, enraging Tamaki to become the Wolf Deadman Riot. Through the teamwork of Revice, Tamaki was seperated from his inner demon but tearfully mourns the loss of his old friend.

Free from his inner demons, Tamaki later meets with Sakura to thank her and her family for rescuing him. He expresses Sakura as the one to help Aguilera see the errors of her ways. He would continue to stay beside Aguilera to help the Igarashi siblings apprehend Orteca and seizing the Giff Stamp. The next day, Sakura would retrieve the Giff Stamp, which was later revealed to be a fake that Orteca prepared in advance.

Aguilera dismissed Tamaki claiming to not having any powers, refusing him to be involved in her dangerous battles. This made Tamaki very sad and was found by Sakura again. She took him back to the Happy Spa under the alias of "Tamaki Orifu" and requested to be taken in. When meeting him, Genta wondered if Tamaki is Sakura's boyfriend.

In actuality, Julio is actually shy and lonely who wanted a friend, but was betrayed by Yosuke Okuda, the one and only friend he ever had. As such, he joined the Deadmans to seek acceptance. After his split from the cult, he began exhibiting a friendlier side while expressing his gratitude to Sakura for showing him the light.

### Etymology

* Julio is the Spanish form of the Latin name Iulius, which is possibly a contraction of the Old Latin personal name *\*Iovilios* ("descended from or pertaining to Jove") or from the Ancient Greek word *íoulos (ἴουλος)*, ["downy first beard hairs (of a young man)"].
	+ The Japanese romanization of his name, *furio*, is the Latin word for "I enrage", appropriate given his relatively aggressive personality.
* Tamaki's alias in Happy Spa, *Orifu*, has a pronunciation similar to the Japanese romanization of *Wolf* (Urufu).

* Julio's wolf motif is an homage to Colonel Zol, one of the first two Shocker generals from the 1971 *Kamen Rider* TV series.
* According to designer Masato Hisa, the Wolf Deadman's design also incorporates the Japanese rhinoceros beetle and *Styracosaurus* to reflect his demon motif.
* According to an interview by Taku Mochizuki in Toei Hero MAX, Julio was originally set up as a police officer.
* The name of the Wolf Deadman's weapon, Rugir, means "roar" or "bark" in Spanish.
* Tamaki getting punched in the face before claiming even his father never hit him, is a reference to Amuro Ray from Gundam series, where Amuro is slapped by Bright Noa before exclaiming "even my father didn't hit me!".
