【Research Material】S.I.C. VOL.50 Kamen Rider Kiva ■ Research Subject: The Design-Based Reconciliation of "King" and "Demon" in Kamen Rider Kiva This material is a work that commemorates the S.I.C. series VOL.50, a three-dimensional representation of the protagonist of Kamen Rider Kiva, the 9th installment in the Heisei Kamen Rider series, created by a top creator (prototype production: Kenji Ando) with their own unique interpretation. Kamen Rider Kiva is a work that uses "vampires" as its motif and strongly reflects elements of Gothic romance, such as "music (violin)" and "a story of two generations of father and son." Kiva, the form that the protagonist Wataru Kurenai transforms into, simultaneously possesses the destiny of a "King" and the "Demon" aspect of a Fangire. The academic value of this material (figure) lies in its masterful reconstruction of the duality of "light and darkness" and "restraint and liberation" that Kiva embodies, while respecting the sleek silhouette and nobility of the suit from the television series and adding the biological and ominous details unique to S.I.C. The following points are particularly noteworthy: Reinterpretation of "Hell's Gate": The "Catena," the restraining device wrapped around Kiva's right leg, has been elevated to a more profound and organic design through S.I.C.'s unique interpretation. The form that releases this and unleashes the finishing move "Darkness Moon Break" is a truly awe-inspiring creation, befitting the release of the "Demon." Attachment of Story-Symbolic Items: The violin "Bloody Rose," inherited from his father, is included. This is an important item that symbolizes Kiva's narrative, and by having the figure hold it, it is possible to contemplate the quiet side of "Wataru Kurenai," which is different from the time of battle. ■ Circumstances of the Exhibition: As a research material, it was carefully stored because it was a subject of research, including its design concept and package design. The "King of Demonic Nature," whose charm has been brought out to the extreme by Kenji Ando's aesthetic of modeling. Please add this artistic three-dimensional material to your collection.
