Kamen Rider Ibuki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iori Izumi (和泉 伊織), also known as Ibuki is a character from the Japanese Tokusatsu TV show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. Iori Izumi was the original name for Kamen Rider Ibuki, the Majestic Breath Demon. As with all Oni, this name was left behind once he was able to become an Oni. He now simply goes by "Ibuki". Originally Ibuki was to be called "Todoroki" but this name was given to the third Kamen Rider in the series, Kamen Rider Todoroki.

[edit] Iori Izumi - Ibuki
[edit] Personality
Ibuki is a 21 year old member of the head family of the Oni. Being born into the head family meant that his life would always revolve around the Oni and Makamou war, a fact that Ibuki never had a problem with. He wished to protect others and knew that not wanting to carry out his legacy would both disgrace his family name and be selfish. As a member of the head family, he is automatically selected to defeat some of the most dangerous Makamou. Ibuki is a confident Oni, but unlike Hibiki, he is confident because he believes no one in the head family can be defeated. Later on when he is brutally defeated, he begins to fear his own mortality and question the importance of having a head family in the war.
[edit] Biography
Kamen Rider Ibuki is a blue tinted Oni that wields a trumpet. Ibuki is the second Kamen Rider to enter the Kamen Rider Hibiki series and also belongs to the head family of Takeshi. He is a calm Oni, and unlike Hibiki, he is somewhat slower when he needs to solve problems. For the first half of the series, he usually fights on his own and will join Hibiki and Todoroki in battles when the need for it arises. During the second half of the series, he is seen fighting with Hibiki and Todoroki more often than in the first half of the series.
Kamen Rider Ibuki along with Todoroki are the two main Oni that go through the most changes. At the start of the series, Ibuki was a calm and relatively carefree soul. During the second half though, he becomes more troubled by matters of life and death and eventually comes to fear death. His relationships with two other characters also change because of this. After the Shuki incident, his disciple, Akira, no longer wishes to be an Oni and leaves him. After this happens, Ibuki realizes how small of a man he really is, that he is not as strong as he originally thought he was.
After the first death of Zanki, Ibuki begins to fear and hate Zanki. This leads to the start of Ibuki's fear of death. This fear starts to get in the way of his Oni duties and in his normal life as well.
His relation with Kasumi Tachibana begins to grow into more than that of just friendship during the second half of the series. After the Shuki incident, he starts to feel alone and seeks comfort in Kasumi, who is unsure of how she should respond to these new emotions from Ibuki. Eventually Ibuki fully realizes just how scared of death he is. Because he is of the head family, Ibuki is chosen to defeat the Orochi tomb, a task that Hibiki feels Ibuki is not read for. Before the final battle takes place, Ibuki confesses to Kasumi and tells her that he wishes to live life as long as he can be with her.

[edit] Henshin OniBue Onteki

The OniBue Onteki gives Ibuki the ability to transform into an Oni, using special sound waves. He blows into the whistle and places it in front of his forehead forming an Oni face.

[edit] Arsenal
- OngekiMei Narukaze
Ibuki attaches this to the front of his trumpet after attaching the mouth piece. It forms a horn for the trumpet to use for his Ongeki Sha Shippuu Issen.
- OngekiKan Reppuu
The OngekiKan Reppuu is Ibuki's Ongeki Weapon. Usually used in its "gun mode" it fires Onishi which shells out a heavy amount of damage to the enemy. For his finisher, Ibuki fires charged Onishi into the Makamou, the OnGekiMei Narukaze along with the mouthpiece completes its "trumpet mode", the Onishi are then ignited by Sound of Purification through the Reppuu.
- OnGekiKo
Ibuki uses this when he had to fight Dorotabou. A summer Makamou that can only be defeated with drum-type OnGeki.
[edit] Attacks
- Senpuujin
- Ibuki charges himself with power, and adds wind power to his punches, chops, and kicks. He is able to defeat various air type Makamou easily with this attack.
- Onidume
- Forms claws from his hands to stab and slash at Makamou. These claws are nearly unbreakable, thus making them one of Ibuki's most useful weapons.
[edit] OnGeki Finishers
- OnGeki Sha Shippuu Issen
- Ibuki inhales deeply then begins blowing through the trumpet. The waves of wind and sound engulf the large Makamou, reacting to the tracking shots fired by Ibuki before the initial attack. Finally the trumpet creates a large wave which destroys the Makamou.
[edit] Forms
[edit] Oni Form
In this form, Ibuki is a blue demon. This is Ibuki's basic and only form, despite being a member of the head family, Ibuki does not have a second form. To become this form, Ibuki blows into his whistle and air gathers around him like a tornado, causing his body to change into that of an Oni. Ibuki also gains a second "oni face" which is a crest that forms on his forehead. Unlike most Kamen Riders, Ibuki does not wear a suit, rather his demon form is his true form.

Tatsumaki (Tornado); Make: HONDA Shadow
[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 Ibuki uses.
Dark Grey Snake This is capable of amphibious travel and can record underwater. Because of its design its recording abilities are lesser than other disc animals. It is best suited for small, tight areas which it can move through easily with its slender body. It can coil around the enemy and tighty squeeze them. Because of this it can also be used as handcuffs or a rod. Also has a dangerous bite for attacking Makamou.
Red Falcon The falcon is lightweight 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 points are that both its duty and recording time are cut short by the energy it consumes during flight.
Lupis Wolf 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 long duty and recording times and is very durable.
Orange Lion It is capable of video recording and has very long duty and recording times. Can travel through dense brush and rocks. It has a sharp fanged mouth for attacking.
Light Blue Eagle The successor of the Falcon type Disk Animal, it has greater duty and recording time as well as being able to record video. Because of its higher intelligence, it is capable of a united formation with a group of other Disk Animals when attacking a monster. It attacks with its sharp wings for cutting attacks in both forms.
