| ~ Faucet Mask's final words before his death |
Faucet Mask (蛇口仮面 Jaguchi Kamen, 56) is the second of Black Cross Commander-in-Chief Golden Mask's Masked Monsters.
He is voiced by Teiji Ōmiya, who also voiced Red Hakaider in Kikaider 01.
History[]
The Faucet Mask made his first appearance when he Daigoro fishing. He tries to eliminate him by shoving a rock at him, but thanks to Daigoro's strength he easily catches the boulder and then tossed it into the ocean. Awhile later he'd disguised himself as a fire hydrant so that way he won't get spotted by the Gorengers. A while later he tried to kill them at the pool, but they manage to dodge the knife. He then poisoned the team's drink with this pill that he'd possessed, but that plan failed when the young boy dropped his drink in the fish tank getting the attention of the other team that their drinks are poisoned as well.
A while later the Faucet Mask was in the hallway with some tubes attaches to his head as he filled the team's room with noxious gas. Thankfully Tsuyoshi alerted the others about the gas as they were awoken from their sleep. He heard them coming out of their rooms, so he makes a quick getaway as both Tsuyoshi and Kenji chased after him. A while he was on the roof of a building as he sneaks attack the team with his pipe tonfa and after that he slipped away from the hotel.
A while later he was at Black Cross's lair as Golden Mask gave a scolding to Faucet Mask about eliminating the Gorengers, but he the Faucet Mask insist that he'll eliminate the team tomorrow to which Golden Mask agrees, but he advised to bring a couple of Zolders to take it with him just in case, but Faucet Mask denied that request because he'll eliminate the team by himself.
Later that day the Faucet Mask spots the team having a good day snorkel diving so he decides to eliminate them once and for all by using this here ball bomb, but jokes on him as they survived the blast as the remaining team fought him and the zolders. When Momorenger uses an Earring Bomb on him near the water, he falls right in appearing to be defeated.
However due to Golden Mask's insistence that Faucet Mask finishes his job, the Commander-in-Chief accompanies him and helps in abducting Taro and Yoko, with the kid going free with the threat that Yoko is executed while Faucet Mask prepares to attack an ambassador attending a peace meeting. Faucet Mask takes care of the agent while confronted by Tsuyoshi, Kenji and Daigoro before the entire team confronts him fully. Using a diamond ring that Yoko gives him after saving her, Akira finally pierces Faucet Mask's tank making it of no further use. The team then uses a Gorenger Hurricane to become a fireball. Faucet Mask feels no fear from it and hits it with one of his pipe tonfa, but the ball catches it on fire and the heat ultimately makes him explode.
