Kazuhiro Hashimoto

**Kazuhiro Hashimoto** (橋本和弘, *Hashimoto Kazuhiro*), known by his codename **Naki** (ナキ, *Naki*, lit. "Death") is the younger brother of Tadashi Hashimoto and also the assistant of Lena Amatsu. As a member of MetsubouJinrai.net, he has the ability to transform into **Kamen Rider Naki** (仮面ライダー亡, *Kamen Raidā Naki*).

## History

### Backstory

Kazuhiro grew up with his older brother, Tadashi. The two of them were very close, always protecting each other.

It all changed when Kazuhiro was 11. Humagears attack his school, the poor kid hiding under his friend’s dead body until it was over. When he peeked out, everyone was dead, and he thought that one of the bodies were his big brother. He cried in the classroom, alone. But, a figure carried him to ZAIA. There, a chip was put into his head. He was confused...but, he turned to the dark side. He joined MetsubouJinrai.net, being the first human on the team. He transformed into Kamen Rider Naki, forgetting everyone...especially his brother. Although, he eventually started remembering everyone, joining ZAIA in the process.

## Personality

Kazuhiro was a sweet and understanding young boy before the Daybreak Town Accident. Although, after joining MetsubouJinrai.net, his personality has switched completely. He became a violent mess, eliminating anything in his way during battle. In reality, he’s fighting just so he can make sure that his brother is alive. After finding out that Tadashi was alive, Naki's attitude completely switched into a loyal assistant to Lena.

Naki transforms into Kamen Rider Naki by using the Japanese Wolf Zetsumerisekey in the MetsubouJinrai Forceriser.

In this form, Naki is skilled at electronic warfare and hacking. They can also destroy targeted enemy sensors in order to ambush them. In battle, they use their the agility to perform a rapid series of attacks. Their arms are equipped with retractable claws named the **Nihon Ookaminotsume** (ニホンオオカミノツメ lit. "Japanese Wolf Claws”).

Kamen Rider Naki's suit is composed of the following parts:

* **Japanese Wolf Head** (ニホンオオカミヘッド, *Nihon Ookami Heddo*) - The helmet.
	+ **Japanese Wolf Ear** (ニホンオオカミイヤー, *Nihon Ookami Iyā*) - Naki's extended hearing sensor. It has an excellent tracking function by sound pattern detection, and can capture up to 16 targets simultaneously within a radius of 7km.
	+ **Japanese Wolf Goggles** (ニホンオオカミゴーグル, *Nihon Ookami Gōguru*) - Naki's facial armor. The armor that protects the face is equipped with a visual device and a hearing device to enhance its high-speed fighting ability.
	+ **Japanese Wolf Signal** (ニホンオオカミシグナル, *Nihon Ookami Shigunaru*) - The control device. The system operation status of the whole body is monitored from time to time to control energy allocation. Further, when the shock or the damage accumulated exceeding the expected damage level exceeds the limit, the wear is absorbed by releasing the wear to protect the wearer.
	+ **Crest Server** (クレストサーバ, *Kuresuto Sāba*) - The memory device. Has the role of collectively storing and managing data. The built-in data is converted by a special encryption technology, but a mechanism that destroys the stored data when it is physically separated works. This keeps the secret even if the enemy destroys it.
	+ **Japanese Wolf Scope** (ニホンオオカミスコープ, *Nihon Ookami Sukōpu*) - The visual device. By switching modes such as shading and night vision, the visibility is secured under all circumstances. In addition to this, it has a function of visualizing electromagnetic movements, and makes it clear where traps are by recognizing movements and movements that are originally invisible such as radio waves.
	+ **Hearing Back** (ヒアリングバック, *Hiaringu Bakku*): Naki's hearing device. Hearing information is communicated to the wearer through the Restraint Cables.
* **Main Blocker** (メインブロッカー, *Mein Burokkā*) - The chest armor. The data image **Lost Model** (ロストモデル, *Rosuto Moderu*) of the extinct species that is overloaded is forcibly installed. In addition to the structure with low observability, it gives the wearer the high agility of the Lost Model of the Japanese wolf. This makes it possible to perform covert actions alone, including invasion of bases and sabotage.
* **Lazarotech Suit** (ラザロテックスーツ, *Razarotekku Sūtsu*): Naki's base suit. It protects the user from corrosive liquids with a special fabric called **Texta Wall** (テキスタウォール, *Tekisuta Wōru*) that has extremely low breathability and permeability. It also keeps the internal pressure higher than the external pressure by being airtight. In addition, its materials have high insulation and it has the role of preventing malfunction of internal equipment due to the intense blizzards that Naki produces.
* **Howling Echo** (ハウリングエコー, *Hauringu Ekō*): The compound communication device. A collection of powerful electronic devices that can simultaneously operate a large number of radars, communication devices, and sensors to collect all kinds of information. In addition, it can be wirelessly connected to various external devices and can be operated by hacking. In addition, by utilizing the special electromagnetic wave control ability, and analyzing the types of electromagnetic waves used by the target, they are good at electronic attacks such as disruption of radar waves and communication, deception of sensors and misidentification of targets.
* **Force Arm** (フォースアーム, *Fōsu Āmu*): Naki's arms. By receiving the energy generated by the MetsubouJinrai Forceriser, the wearer's strength is increased by approximately 4.8 times.
* **Force Grab** (フォースグラブ, *Fōsu Gurabu*): The Lazarotech Suit's gloves. They increase grip strength and tactile sensitivity by a factor of approximately 3 by receiving the energy generated by the MetsubouJinrai Forceriser. In addition, the fingertips are protected by sharp armor and function as a blizzard release device supplied by the Arm Stranger.
* **Force Leg** (フォースレッグ, *Fōsu Reggu*): Naki's legs. By receiving the energy generated by the MetsubouJinrai Forceriser, the wearer's leg strength is increased by approximately 6.4 times.
* **Chain Blocker** (チェインブロッカー, *Chein Burokkā*): Naki's segmented body armor. The "Lost Model" of the overloaded Zetsumerisekey is forcibly attached to it. By protecting the parts of the body that are subject to impact with thick armor and cutting unnecessary armor, the total protection capacity is maximized while at the same weight. The Chain Blocker's arrangement allows it to easily move according to the wearer's movements.
* **Arm Stranger** (アームストレンジャー, *Āmu Sutorenjā*): Naki's arm armor. The Lost Model of the overloaded Zetsumerisekey is forcibly attached to it.
* **Leg Stranger** (レッグストレンジャー, *Reggu Sutorenjā*): Naki's leg armor. The Lost Model of the overloaded Zetsumerisekey is forcibly attached to it. It protects the legs and improves running speed and kicking power. In addition, by utilizing the strength of the armor, it enables activities in extreme environments that humans cannot set foot in.
* **Restraint Cable** (レストランケーブル, *Resutoran Kēburu*): Cables running through all parts of the body that transmit energy and information from the MetsubouJinrai Forceriser. In addition, taking advantage of their high toughness and ability to expand and contract freely, they have the role of constraining the utilized Zetsumerisekey's Lost Model and tightly binding it to the wearer.

	+ **Zetsumetsu Dystopia** (ゼツメツディストピア, *Zetsumetsu Disutopia*): Naki runs to the enemy and performs a series of rapid kicks, followed by a single, stronger kick after a brief pause.
