Fictional character biography
Kaoru Kino was a surgical genius, but a snow-mountain accident would ruin his career and claim the life of his younger brother, Masato. The accident also left his right arm with severe frost bite, which left surgeons no choice but to amputate and graft the arm of his deceased brother. The incident ultimately resulted in Kino's surgical license being revoked. From then on, Kino would suffer psychotic episodes stemming from the traumatic event. Kino was also one of the passengers aboard the “Akatsuki” and among those awakened by the "Overlord of Light". Over time, his powers would "evolve" into Another Agito. But given his unstable mental condition, he would eventually became corrupted by his newfound power, and soon became convinced that he alone was all that was needed to defeat the Lords. His delusions of grandeur ultimately motivated him to try and eliminate other Agito. Though the actions of his brother's arm would occasionally interfere, it wasn't until his defeat at the hands of Kamen Rider Gills (in his newfound Exceed Form) that humbled Kino. From that point on, he would aid the other Riders, even after the Overlord stole his power. But in the end, Kino died from the injuries sustained by Falco. However he died with a smiling face after during his dead he is dreaming on being able to save his brother during the snow-mountain accident.
As Kamen Rider 'Another Agito,' Kino was an exceptional warrior with fantastic physical prowess. His “Assault Kick” is comparable to Agito’s “Shining Rider Kick” in terms of raw power. Kino uses the transformation belt called “Ank Point”, and with the power of the “Alter Force”, Kino's off-road bike is also transformed into Dark Hopper.
Another Agito is the first Rider to have any additional clothing (in this instance, skirting) hanging from his body since Kamen Rider ZX (the last protagonist Kamen Rider to wear a scarf). Additionally, the proportions of Another Agito's face was designed to resemble that of Kamen Rider 1, which is why he bares his teeth when charging up his kick.
