Biography[]
Kagero manifested from within Daiji Igarashi, the brother of Ikki Igarashi and a squad leader at Fenix, from Daiji's envy of his older brother and wish that he never existed, as well as representing Daiji's trauma of using Karizaki's Vistamp Rider Systems caused Hiromi Kadota's failed transformation as Revice. After he became able to take control of Daiji's body, Kagero used his position at Fenix to steal the Lion Vistamp from George Karizaki's laboratory. Kagero then passed the Vistamp off to Masao Honda, a social media influencer who used it to summon the Lion Deadman.
After George Karizaki gave Daiji the TwoSiDriver he developed along with the Bat Vistamp, Kagero took control of Daiji again and used the TwoSiDriver and Vistamp to become Kamen Rider Evil. As Evil, Kagero interrupted the fight between Revice and the Deadmans to attack Revice, fighting him before disappearing just as mysteriously as he had appeared. However, Karizaki manage to expose Kagero's identity and had Fenix to monitor his actions while he was using Daiji's stolen body.
Kagero would later possess Daiji again and travel to the Deadmans Base to ally with the Deadmans. There, Olteca presented him to Aguilera and informed her that they now had leverage over a second "Achilles heel" in the Igarashi family. Kagero agreed to work with the Deadmans, on the condition that Ikki be left to him to kill. When Daiji regain consciousness, yet felt weaker, he discovers what happened to himself and being taken over by his inner demon once more. When Hiromi found out that Daiji's downfall and Kagero's awakening was his fault, he accept his responsibility and grants the means to become Kamen Rider Demons, and freeing Daiji's soul.
Kagero stayed in control of Daiji when the Igarashi family went on vacation to celebrate Yukimi's recovery, awaiting the moment to make his move and challenge Ikki. When Aguilera tried to kill Ikki by spiking his drink with poison, Kagero knocked the drink out of his hand before he could take a sip and went to confront Aguilera about it. Transforming into Evil, Kagero grabbed her by the neck and tossing her into her subordinates before warning her that Ikki was his to kill. As the Deadmans ran off, Evil was confronted by Hiromi as Kamen Rider Demons, but managing to fight him off before swiftly exiting the scene. Kagero then went to a bathroom and let Daiji out for a bit so he could mock him over being in control of his body. Later, as the other Igarashis were holding a celebration for Yukimi's recovery, Kagero finally made his move now the Igarashi family were at their happiest. After hitting Ikki to the ground, Kagero transformed into Kamen Rider Evil to fight his brother. Hiromi became Kamen Rider Demons and attempted to intervene, but Olteca and Julio assumed their Deadmen forms and held him off to give Revi and Evil a chance to battle it out. During the course of the fight between the two Riders, Evil revealed to Revi that he was a demon possessing his brother right as the two clashed, causing their Vistamps to fall out of both their Drivers. Revi picked up the Kong Vistamp and used it to transform himself and Vice into Revice Kong Genome, while Evil used the Bat Vistamp to become Evil Bat Genome.
Though Kagero did not defeat Revice, he was given a chance to "redeem" himself by Olteca, who gave him the Brachio Vistamp and sent him out to create another Deadman. Kagero approached a trio of phone scammers and forcibly created the Brachio Deadman from them in order to lure out Ikki so he could fight him again. During their confrontation, Ikki managed to defeat Evil, only for him to detransform and pretend to be Daiji again so Ikki would deliberately miss. Kagero then re-transformed and beat down Revi, forcing Ikki and Vice to retreat.
As Kagero continued to create Brachio Deadmen from his three hostages, Ikki showed up to confront him once more. During their confrontation however, Ikki was able to give Daiji the courage to resist Kagero. Daiji then retook control of his body and vanquished Kagero, detransforming from Evil. He would go on to transform into Kamen Rider Live using the TwoSiDriver and defeat the three Brachio Deadmen Kagero had summoned with his newfound power.
Even though Daiji is able to regain control of his body, Kagero would occasionally resurface to cause trouble to Igarashi siblings. He made his return as Kamen Rider Evil after Daiji was knocked unconscious from protecting Sakura Igarashi, though she was able to upturn him back with a Rider Kick. This phenomenon is later made known to Ikki who decide to use it to summon Kagero in order inform them on how to enter the Deadmans base, in exchange for a spicy curry.
Kagero would resurface inside of Daiji again when Daiji was defeated by Olteca as Kamen Rider Demons. Olteca then moved to finish off Sakura, but Kagero appeared to block him, saying that if she died he wouldn't get to taste her curry. After transforming into Kamen Rider Evil, Kagero fought and exchanged finishing blows with Demons, resulting Kagero being knocked out of his transformation and Demons being beaten back to the point where he decided to exit the scene instead of continuing the fight.
After the Igarashi siblings learned the truth about their father and their connection to Giff, Kagero surfaced within Daiji again and spoke to him, saying he know had enough strength to where he could potentially take over his body permanently. Possessing Daiji, Kagero approached George and Akemi as they were analyzing data from Giff and the Igarashi siblings and demanded a second TwoSi Driver from him. He then noticed the Crow Vistamp George had been working on and told him to hand that over as well. Kagero threatened Akemi, but despite this George refused to comply, as the Crow Vistamp had the potential to erase Live or Evil personally depending on who used it. However, Hideo Akaishi then entered and told George to give him both saying it would be yet another trial for Daiji to overcome and, should he fall, they could always employ Kagero in his place. Kagero then went to an abandoned warehouse and summoned Daiji from himself so they could have one last battle. The two assumed their respective Kamen Riders and began fighting, but as they battled Live noticed Kagero had become weaker, to which he admitted it was because of Daiji's kindness. Ikki then showed up with Shozo Irabu but decided not to intervene, believing it was something Daiji needed to sort out on his own and having full confidence in his brother that he would win. Daiji was eventually able to pound in Evil's face plate before finishing off Kagero, who handed him the Crow Vistamp before dying. With the Crow Vistamp in hand, Daiji became Kamen Rider Holy Live, permanently erasing Evil, and went on to challenge Kamen Rider Demons.
However, this had the side effect of turning Daiji into a self-righteous heroic wannabe due to Kagero being required to balance Daiji's sense of righteousness. Knowing this, Kagero revealed that he wasn't permanently erased but rather hiding in Giff's dimension. This revival ultimately allowed Daiji and Kagero to merge and become Kamen Rider Evility Live.
