Kamen Rider Kaixa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kamen Rider Kaixa (仮面ライダーカイザ Kamen Raidā Kaiza?) is a fictional suit of high-tech power armor seen in the 2003-2004 japanese television series Kamen Rider 555.
The Kaixa Gear was the third set of Kamen Rider Gear developed by the Smart Brain Corporation to protect the Orphenoch King. The Kaixa Gear was more powerful, but slower than the Faiz Gear. It still did not match the Delta Gear for speed or strength, but possessed greater functionality.
Like most of the Rider Gears that Smart Brain developed, the Kaixa Gear can only be worn by Orphenochs or humans with Orphenoch DNA. Unfortunately, if the latter uses the Kaixa Gear, it will eventually destroy them; this is not the case with full Orphenochs.
Its first known wearer is Kouta Takamiya, but the belt destroyed him when he burned up all of his implanted Orphenoch DNA. Its primary wearer is Masato Kusaka, who had a great deal more Orphenoch DNA implated into him, but whose neck was snapped by Yuji Kiba as Kaixa when Kusaka's Orphenoch DNA started to run out, with Kiba using it towards the end of the series. At the end of the series, the Orphenoch King destroyed the Kaixa Gear while Kiba was using it, which started his slow destruction. Other known wearers include, Kiyotaka Nishida, Takashi, Saeko Kageyama (Lobster Orphenoch).
In the movie Paradise Lost, Masato was killed by Leo (possessor of the Psyga Gear). Keitarou Kikuchi briefly wore the Kaixa Gear by drinking the experimental henshin elixir, 'Henshin 1-Shot' (変身一発 Henshin Ippatsu?) and killed the Lion Orphenoch. However, when the formula ran out, the Kaixa Driver disintegrated shortly after.

Jump: 30 m
Run: 100 m / 6.3 seconds
[edit] Armor Information
The Kaixa Armor has several key features in its design. Unlike the Gear, the armor does not exist until the wearer transforms.
Full Metal Lung: The chest armor of the Rider provides the most protection, being able to withstand light Anti-tank weaponry.
Global Feeler: The antenna on the Rider’s head can be used to communicate with the Smart Brain Satellite and the Smart Brain computer network.
Photon Blood: A glowing substance that provides all of the Rider’s powers and generates all of the physical features of the armor. The Photon Blood is generated from the Kaixa Driver.
Photon Streams: The path that the Photon Blood travels through the Rider’s armor. In Kaixa, this path is yellow and made by in two lines that are smaller if compared to Faiz and Delta. This gives Kaixa his greater strength, but is also what makes it the slowest of the three gears.
Photon Terminals: Where the Photon Streams connect with the gauntlets and greaves.
Power Anklet: The greaves of the Kaixa Gear.
Energy Holster: On the right ankle of the Kaixa Gear is a let mount for the Kaixa Pointer.
Sol Foam/Metal: Soft parts of the armor are made of Sol Foam, and the hard parts are made of Sol Metal. This substance is generated by the Kaixa Driver to form complex machinery that is powered by Photon Blood. If the Foam or Metal are damaged, the armor switches off and resets itself.
X Finder: The large eyepieces of the Rider give them incredible vision. They can see in darkness with no problems and have a limited amount of x-ray vision.
[edit] Kaixa Gear
The Kaixa Gear is a collection of seemingly normal items developed by the Smart Brain corporation. When activated by the Mission Memory they turn into advanced weapon systems. They are usually stored inside a Smart Brain secured briefcase until needed. More notable is that the Kaixa belt voice has a more deeper, 'evil' tone that the other belt voices. It requires a much greater deal of Orphenoch DNA than the other gears and as such is of greater risk to use. The Kaixa Gear set was in fact incomplete when it was first obtained and used, missing the Kaixa Pointer Binoculars until they were found by Kusaka Masato.
Kaixa Mission Memory: A small metallic card key with the Kaixa symbol on it. When this device is inserted into certain Kaixa gear, it turns them into powerful weaponry, also allowing the weapon to “EXCEED CHARGE”.
SB-913B Kaixa Driver: A high tech looking belt that generates the photon streams for the Kamen Rider armor. If the belt is removed, the armor disappears.
SB-913C Kaixa Shot: A digital camera that transforms into a dangerous knuckle-duster when the Kaixa Mission Memory is attached, allowing Kaixa to “EXCEED CHARGE” and perform Kaixa's Rider Punch, Grand Impact.
SB-913B2 Kaixa Pointer: When the Kaixa Mission Memory is attached to these binoculars, it transforms into a double-barrelled weapon that can be mounted on the Power Anklet of Kaixa. Kaixa's equivalent of the Faiz Pointer, it can “EXCEED CHARGE” to perform the Gold Smash (a high-powered laser drill dropkick). When Keitarou wore the Kaixa Gear on the movie Paradise Lost, he performed a flying side kick instead, as did Kiba when he used the Kaixa Gear in the final episodes of the series. It is the most powerful and slowest of Kaixa’s attacks. It can also be used as a regular pair of binoculars.
SB-913X Blaygun: A special weapon that is both a pistol (equal in power to the Kaixa Blaster) and a lightsaber. By default, it is in the shape of the Greek letter Chi "Χ". By inserting the Kaixa Mission Memory, a blade made of Sol Glass is extended from the bottom of the gun grip. This form may still utilize the pistol part of the weapon if the blade is held by the gun grip, though the weapon can be reversed to be used as a standard 2-handed sword. It can “EXCEED CHARGE” and enable the Xeno Clash, where a constricting energy net is fired from its gun section, while simultaneously over-charging the sword section and temporarily increasing Kaixa's speed for a dashing strike. It is important to notice that the blade of the Kaixa Blaygun does not cause damage by itself, but due to the energy that it discharges once in contact with the target.
SB-913P Kaixa Phone: This phone is the control unit of the Kaixa Gear, the primary storage place for the Kaixa Mission Memory and a transgenerator that serves as the power source of the Gear. The phone can also be transformed into Phone Blaster Mode. Its design is based on a sideflip mobile phone.
SB-913V Side Basher: An artificially intelligent motorcycle with attached side-car, designed especially as a back up for Kaixa. It can transform from a motorcycle into a A.I. controlled combat walker. Once it transforms, its size dramatically increases. It rarely transformed however, remaining in its motorcycle form for most of the series.
[edit] Kaixa Command Codes
The Kaixa Gear has several command codes that can be punched into the Kaixa Phone to perform different functions. All of these codes require the Kaixa Phone and Kaixa Driver.
[9][1][3][ENTER] After entering the code the Kaixa Phone will say “STANDING BY”. When the Kaixa Phone is inserted into Kaixa Driver slot, it will say “COMPLETE”. The wearer will then be transformed into Kamen Rider Kaixa if they have enough Orphenoch DNA; otherwise there will be an "ERROR" and the Kaixa Driver will violently eject from the wearer. If the wearer is not an Orphenoch, prolonged transformation will lead to death.
[1][0][3][ENTER] When the Kaixa Phone is turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say “SINGLE MODE”. The Blaster can fire a continuous beam of energy for about 3 seconds. It has 12 shots until it must be recharged.
[1][0][6][ENTER] When the Kaixa Phone is turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say “BURST MODE”. The Blaster can fire 3 round burst of energy. It has 4 bursts until it must be recharged.
[2][7][9][ENTER] If the Phone Blaster is empty and this code is entered, it will say “CHARGE” and will proceed to recharge all weapons power. This will take about 5 seconds.
[ENTER] When the Mission Memory is inserted into the Kaixa Shot, Pointer or Blaygun, it will transform from its mundane form into its weapon form and the Phone will say "READY". When the [ENTER] key is pressed, the phone will say "EXCEED CHARGE" and send a burst of power from the Kaixa Driver, along the Photon Streams, to the weapon in question giving it a tremendous power boost, and in some cases extra abilities.
[End Call] Pressing the "End Call" button will switch off the Kaixa Driver and cause the armor to disappear. (Under certain conditions, this procedure will cause the death of the wearer).
[edit] Other Names
There is much confusion surrounding the Rider's name, as his design is clearly based on the Greek letter Chi (Χ), but the pronounced name of the Rider is almost nothing like the letter. The pronunciation is in fact closer to the letter Xi (Ξ), and it is possible that the two were confused due to the appearance and pronunciation of the letter X in English. The official transliteration is "Kaixa", although some would argue that the pronunciation is closer to "Kaiza". Other variations in his name include the following:
- Kamen Rider Kaiza
- Kamen Rider Kaiser
- Kamen Rider 913
- Kamen Rider Chi
- Kamen Rider Χ
