Personality
Kivat is a solid character with a dry wit, tending to have a bitter attitude. Despite this he still cares deeply about his partner Wataru, forming a partnership with him since infancy and giving tips during battle against others. He likes Megumi Aso because she reminds him of Amedeo Modigliani's masterpieces, particularly the man's works of long-necked women. He often gets annoyed by things such as the Taro's constant interruptions during the openings of Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Deka or the certain actions of Tatsulot.

Abilities
As a Kivat, he possesses Demon Imperial Powers like the Active Force (アクティブフォース) which he can infuse into others by biting with his Active Fangs (アクティブファング) which summons the Kivat Belt where he is then placed upon for the transformation into Kiva. He is also able to blow on Fuestles to summon items or other things like Castle Doran. His eye color changes depending on what form Kiva is in.

Aside from being Kiva's power source, Kivat possesses a technique called Kivat Cutter (キバットカッター) with his Lucifer Gold adorned Kivat Wings (キバットウイング) which can cut through opponents.
