[edit] Biography
[edit] Hitoshi Hidaka - Hibiki
Hibiki he is a calm and nonchalant Oni. Not much is known about his past, but when he was young he appeared to act the same as Asumu. He had worries and doubts and wanted to protect his friends, which is what led to him becoming an Oni. He takes Asumu under his wing and helps him and gives him advice when needed. Eventually he will take Asumu as his apprentice in becoming an Oni. Of the three main riders, Hibiki is the most experienced, even though he says otherwise, he is the wisest of the current Oni and his friends look up to him as if he were a teacher. He has a long friendship with Midori, who is Takeshi's weapon designer, who've been friends since they were children.
After he takes both Kiriyama and Asumu as his apperntices, much to his chagrin, he begins to realize that Asumu's path in life is not that of an Oni. This troubles him mostly because he was the one that originally agreed to Asumu being his student. After Asumu gives up on training, the two become distant for a year and finally reconnect in the series' final episode.

[edit] Henshin Onsa OnKaku
- Device Type: Tuning Fork
- Other Forms: Ongeki Onsa Sword
The Onsa OnKaku gives Hibiki the ability to transform into an Oni, using special sound waves. He taps it on a hard surface and places it in front of his forehead forming an Oni face. Purple flames engulf his as he transforms into an Oni. In addition, the Onsa OnKaku can also playback the sound or video data collected by the Disc Animals.
[edit] Arsenal
- OngekiKo Kaentsudumi;
Attached to the buckle, Hibiki presses this into the body of a large monster to form a large drum for his Ongeki Da Kaen Renda and other drum finishers.
- OngekiKo Bakuretsu Kaentsudumi;
An upgaded version of Hibiki's buckle. It's made so his OngekiBou can beat the highest pure sound, and require less beating.
- OngekiBou Rekka;
A pair of drumsticks to be used with for his Ongeki Da Kaen Renda through Sound of Purification. Can also double as clubs.
- Armed Saber;
The Armed Saber is a device created by Kogure Kounosuke that can greatly increase the power of an Oni. By pressing the button on the bottom of the saber Hibiki is engulfed with a fiery aura. Disk Animals swarm to him changing into his armor as he transforms into Armed Hibiki. It is known as a "forbidden device" due to the fact that it can cause an Oni to lose their transformation power if used by someone who is not strong enough yet. This happens to four Oni in the series, Sabaki, Danki, Todoroki and Hibiki but they are all able to regain their power of intense training.

[edit] Forms
[edit] Oni Form
In this form, Hibiki is a purple demon. This is his basic form and the easiest form for him to reach. To become this form, Hibiki simply needs to tap his tuning fork against a solid surface, the vibrations from the fork causing his body to be engulfed in a firey purple aura. Hibiki also gains a second "oni face" which is a crest that forms on his forehead. Unlike most Kamen Riders, Hibiki does not wear a suit, rather his demon form is his true form.
[edit] Hibiki Kurenai
Hibiki's second form, also known as Hibiki Crimson, was reached during the summer of training. It is exactly the same in appearance as his original form save for the fact that it is red instead of purple. Hibiki learned that he would be able to go beyond his basic form during the summer. At first he was unable to reach this form completely, only able to transform his arms when under attack. This greatly drained him and caused him to begin tougher training. After an attack by a group of stronger than normal Makamou, Hibiki finally reached this form mid-battle. His body froze as red fumes raised up from the ground and caused his body to change. In this form, Hibiki's powers are all nearly doubled from that of his basic form.
[edit] Hibiki Soukou
The third and final form Hibiki was able to reach is known as Hibiki Soukou or Armed Hibiki. Unlike Kurenai form that simply changes colors, the cosmetic effects here are much greater. To reach this form, Hibiki must use the Armed Saber, the Armed Saber also serves as a weapon in this form. Also, to reach this form, Hibiki does not need to go through Kurenai. Hibiki calls upon the power of the disc animals to fuse with him, each becoming a new part of his form. Finally, his oni face is covered with a samurai like shield. Hibiki is able to destroy most lower level Makamou with little to no effort in this form.

[edit] Disc Animals
Produced mainly for reconnaissance purpose, Disk Animals or Onshikigami (音式神) are shikigami (式神) on compact discs instead of paper. They can switch between their animal forms and disk forms like origami, and can turn invisible at will. The following are the disc animals that Hibiki uses.
[edit] List and Description of Disc Animals
- Green Ape (緑大猿-Ryokuozaru) This disk animal has the special function of video recording images and sound because its intelligence is a little higher than normal. It's acrobatic and suited for through branches in forested areas. It's very strong and delivers a power punch for attack, because of this it can also guard and protect victims from danger.
- Madder Hawk (茜鷹- Akanetaka) The falcon is light weight and suited for covering terrain from the air. With its sharp wings it is capable of cutting attacks in both of its forms. Its weak point is both its duty and recording time is cut short from the energy it consumes from flight.
- Azure Wolf (瑠璃狼-Ruriokami) With its four-legged design, it is best for ground terrain, especially dense brush and rock areas. When sent out in numbers they usually travel in packs. It has a sharp, fanged mouth for attacking targets. Has a long duty and recording time and is very durable.
- Yellow Crab (黄檗蟹-Kihadagani) Is best for recording both above and below water and is suited for travel in wet areas (beaches, swamps, etc) or underwater. Its large pincer claw is strong enough to cut a steel cable and can turn into a drill than can bore through a concrete wall. Its durable design can withstand falling rocks or powerful water currents. It was upgraded very recently from its old design.
- Orange Lion (黄赤獅子-Kiakashishi) Is capable of video recording and has a very long duty and recording time. Can travel thorugh dense brush and rocks. It has a sharp fanged mouth for attacking.
- Light Blue Eagle (浅葱鷲-Asagiwashi) The successor of the Falcon type Disk Animal, it has greater duty and recording time plus can record video as well. Because of it's higher intelligence it's capable of united formation with a group of Disk Animals when attacking a monster. It attacks with it's sharp wings for cutting attacks in both forms.
