Komusou Dokuro
Komusou Dokuro (コムソウドクロ) is the leader of the SHADOW Komusou Six, a team of six agents from the SHADOW organization.
History[]
Identified as No. 3, Komusou Dokuro is a ruthless antagonist tasked with securing the plans for "High Cerium", a powerful energy source created by a company president named Oonuki. This material, which boasts ten times the potency of uranium, is essential for powering SHADOW's ultimate weapon, the Giant Devil. Komusou Dokuro launches a violent campaign against Oonuki's employees to acquire the blueprints, even wielding a shakuhachi (a traditional Japanese flute) that doubles as a flamethrower. In his original form, he can detach a ring from his head and use it as an explosive.
Komusou Dokuro's initial attempt to capture the High Cerium plans is thwarted by Kikaider 01, allowing Oonuki to escape SHADOW's grip with Jiro's assistance. As a precaution, Oonuki replaces the plans in his briefcase with a time bomb, transferring the real documents into his wallet. However, fate takes an ironic turn when the wallet is stolen by a passerby named Misao. When SHADOW minions seize the briefcase, Komusou Dokuro discovers the bomb just in time and abandons it in the city, leading to a chance encounter where the briefcase is picked up by Rieko and Akira. They attempt to turn it over to the police, only to be chased by an agent disguised as an officer, causing unintended damage to their pursuer, Gill-Hakaider.
Komusou Dokuro eventually captures both Misao and Hiroshi, retrieving both the Giant Devil and High Cerium's blueprints. Setting a trap for 01, he prepares for an execution to lure the hero out. However, Kikaider intervenes, defeating the five other Komusou Six, and ultimately overpowers Komusou Dokuro with the powerful Blast End attack.
Following the battle, the copied blueprints held by SHADOW are destroyed by Kikaider, and Oonuki reclaims the original High Cerium plans with Misao's help. Realizing the risk of potential misuse, Oonuki decides to burn the plans. Despite these efforts, new threats remain as Misao and Hiroshi disappear again, and the Giant Devil's project approaches completion, with only its heart component, held by Akira, left to finalize SHADOW's destructive weapon.
