Biography[]
Yasushi Kudo was a corrupt attorney who traveled to the Deadmans Base and received the Kangaroo Vistamp from Olteca, who promised him that he would be able to win any case with it. Kudo used the Vistamp to call forth his inner demon, which took shape as the Kangaroo Deadman, and used it to intimidate witnesses for the opposing side into stepping down so there would be no one to rebuke his narrative. He would eventually be assigned to defend a driver who crashed into Masaru Nagase, a regular customer of Shiawase-Yu, and used his Deadman to intimidate witnesses so he could spin the story as Masaru being the one responsible for the accident. Called to investigate, Ikki and Vice were able to obtain footage of him using his Deadman to intimidate a witness, which they presented in court as evidence he was acting unlawfully. Kudo then claimed that they had doctored the footage before summoning the Kangaroo Deadman to attack them. After Revice defeated the Kangaroo Deadman however, Kudo managed to avoid being incriminated by passing his Vistamp off to the corrupt judge he was in league with. However, Ikki and Vice figured out the tactic Kudo had used to hide the evidence and went to confront both Kudo and the judge soon after. Both were arrested after being caught by Ikki.
Kudo was imprisoned on board Fenix's Skybase, but was freed by Amahiko Haitani after he snuck onboard during a Deadmans attack. Kudo was then brought to the Deadmans lair, as he was eyed to be one of the six Giftex Deadmen needed to reawaken Giff.
He later received the Sabertiger Vistamp from Olteca and was sent to attack Happy Spa. When Ikki confronted him, Kudo used his Vistamp to become the Phase 2 Sabertiger Deadman. With his new Deadman form, Kudo fought Ikki, who transformed into Kamen Rider Revi. Revi defeated Kudo and knocked him out of his Deadman transformation, but Olteca appeared right after and picked up Kudo before escaping with him.
With all the candidates gathered, Kudo became the Phase 2 Sabertiger Deadman and took part in the ritual to revive Giff. However, the ritual was crashed by the Kamen Riders and Fenix, leading Kudo and the other Gifftex Deadman to break off and fight them. Haitani and Kudo were defeated by a combined Rider Kick from all three Igarashi siblings, at which point they were absorbed into Giff as sacrifices.
