List of Kamen Rider Kiva episodes

This is a list of episodes of the 2008 Japanese television series Kamen Rider Kiva. Each episode title combines a word or phrase relating to music and a phrase more directly related to the episode. A symbol from musical notation is used to separate these two halves of the episodes' titles (an exception is the finale, which uses the music end barline at the end of the title).

In 1986, at a funeral, a recently deceased man wakes up from his coffin and transforms into a monster known as Fangire. After he attacks a young woman, draining her of her Life Energy and turning her into a material similar to glass, the Spider Fangire is confronted by a woman named Yuri Aso, who attempts to destroy him before he escapes. Later, at the Café mald'amour, Yuri's employer Mamoru Shima tells her to target a young businessman named Kaoru Tsugami, who actually is the Horse Fangire. She finds Tsugami as he is about to eat his sixth secretary, but he calls his bodyguards to hold her off. Though she manages to give them the slip, she is too late to save the woman as she fights the Horse Fangire. However, before the fight could go any further, she is stopped by the man she met while escaping Tsugami's bodyguards: Otoya Kurenai. This little distraction allowed Tsugami to escape.

In 1986, Yuri is ordered by Shima to protect a beautiful violinist named Hitomi Miyazawa that may be targeted by a mysterious Fangire that is attacking female violinists. Hitomi happens to be a student under Otoya Kurenai, learning that he is a master violinist who quit his profession for reasons unknown. After her concert performance, Hitomi disappears and Yuri attempts to find her, but when she does, Hitomi is revealed to be the Fangire responsible for killing her 'competition' as Otoya arrives. When Yuri damages her violin, Hitomi reveals her true form as the Octopus Fangire and attacks Yuri before escaping with her broken violin. Otoya, after taking Yuri's weapon in a fake-wooing, confronts his ex-student soon after for her disrespect of the musical arts before she escapes him as well.

In 1986, Yuri finds Otoya while he is flirting with a young lady, intent to get her weapon back from him. Suddenly, the Moth Fangire attacks Otoya until Yuri regained her weapon, forcing the Fangire to retreat. After reporting to Shima at the Café mald'amour, Yuri is told to investigate Otoya in order to see if he is an ideal candidate to join the Fangire Hunters. Following him, Yuri sees Otoya ruin the lives of two men, leaving them bankrupt.

In 1986, Yuri continues her investigation of Otoya, witnessing him ruin the life of another man named Yūji Tachikawa. She later presents the results of her investigation to Shima, whom he decides is not a potential Fangire Hunter.

In 1986, Otoya stalks Yuri, following her to Café mald'amour, attempting to woo her until a mysterious man, Jiro, tosses him out before having coffee. The next day, Otoya arrives at the café as Yuri comes out, intent on fighting Jiro as they duke it out in a fist fight with Yuri leaving in a huff. By the time they stop fighting, Yuri is captured by the Spider Fangire.
