Biography[]
While the Deadmans were assaulting the Fenix ceremony where Daiji would receive the Revice Driver, the Chameleon Deadman snuck onboard Skybase and copied Yujiro Wakabayashi's appearance to infiltrate Fenix before killing the real Yujiro.
As Yujiro, the Chameleon Deadman monitered the actions of the Fenix Riders while feeding the Deadmans intel. When the Skybase landed to refuel, the Chameleon Deadman helped the Deadmans assault and sneak aboard the Skybase so they could free Yasushi Kudo, as well as obtain the Proto Vistamp. While Amahiko Haitani freed Kudo, the Chameleon Deadman went to obtain the Proto Vistamp from George Karizaki, but was fought off by Vice after Ikki released him.
After the attack failed, the Chameleon Deadman went to simply obtain the Vistamp while disguised as Yujiro, but George swapped the Vistamp out with his Kamen Rider 1 action figure and staged a trap with Daiji and Hiromi. However, Yujiro was able to get close enough to Hiromi to take him hostage, before revealing his true form as the Chameleon Deadman. The Chameleon Deadman used Hiromi as a hostage to force George to give up the Proto Vistamp, and escaped back to the Deadmans' base with it.
Chameleon joined the other Gifftex Deadman and Aguilera in performing the ritual to revive Giff. As the ritual began however, the Deadmans Base was stormed by Fenix who attempted to stop the ritual. Chameleon joined his fellow Gifftex in engaging the Kamen Riders in battle, and fought against Hiromi Kadota, who was furious at him for killing Wakabayashi and copying his form. After Kadota beat back Chameleon, he fell back and met up with Olteca. While Revi Barid Rex destroyed the Deadmans Base, Chameleon and Olteca simply watched.
When Julio to become enraged and attacked Olteca for mocking Aguilera, Chameleon assumed his Deadman form and pushed Julio out of the way, before Olteca then became the Daiouika Deadman and impaled Julio to force him out of his Wolf Deadman form. The two then exited the scene while Aguilera became the Queen Bee Deadman to get revenge for Giff. Olteca and the Chameleon Deadman later met on a rooftop to discuss their next move. Olteca sent the Chameleon Deadman to steal the Revice Driver for the next phase of their plan. Chameleon stalked the Igarashi family while they were shopping for groceries. As soon as the moment arose, Chameleon nabbed Yukimi, knocking her out, before assuming her form to get close to Ikki. Disguised as his mother, Chameleon brought Ikki outside and tried to stab him when his back was turned, but Ikki felt something was amiss and stopped Yukimi from stabbing him. The Chameleon Deadman then revealed himself, prompting Ikki and his siblings to assume their Kamen Rider forms to fight him and the horde of Giff Juniors he summoned. While Live and Jeanne dealt with the Giff Juniors, Revi and Vice defeated the Chameleon Deadman and knocked him out of his transformation, causing him to revert to his true appearance before being absorbed into Giff.
