Movie Edition: Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World (劇場版 仮面ライダーキバ 魔界城の王 Gekijōban Kamen Raidā Kiba Makaijō no Ō?) opened in Japanese theaters on August 9, 2008. It featured two new Riders who have been shown in silhouettes in Japanese children's magazines, Kamen Rider Rey (仮面ライダーレイ Kamen Raidā Rei?),[5] who is a monster hunter named Takato Shiramine (白峰 天斗 Shiramine Takato?) played by Shouma Yamamoto (山本 匠馬 Yamamoto Shōma?), partnered to Rey Kivat (レイキバット Reikibatto?, voiced by Norio Wakamoto) and the villain of the movie Takashi Sugimura (杉村 隆 Sugimura Takashi?), a death-row inmate who transforms into Kamen Rider Arc (仮面ライダーアーク Kamen Raidā Āku?) with Arc Kivat (アークキバット Āku Kibatto?, voiced by Norio Wakamoto), portrayed by Ken Horiuchi of the comedy troupe Neptune. The movie takes place in an alternate universe, as trying to place the story of the movie anywhere within the story of the series always leaves events out of place and would cancel out other events. Furthermore, Shouma Yamamoto plays Takato Shiramine in the Kamen Rider Kiva movie, but he also plays Taiga Nobori in the actual series.
