is one of the main anti-heroes of the 2006 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Kabuto.

was the original TheBee and a 27-year old agent of ZECT. Yaguruma, while TheBee, had his own personal army of ZECT Troopers called Shadow. He is a perfectionist, believing in a philosophy known as . When he's calm, he's a caring person who possesses a strict code of teamwork and demands perfection. He cares deeply for his team members, and in battle he is a brilliant tactician. However, he's also impulsive, brash and quick to anger (when it comes to his beliefs).

This one flaw played a part in his falling out when Tendou managed to infiltrate his flawless security team and upstage him by revealing how a Worm had done the same, immediately challenging Kabuto to a fight to eliminate him as order. Though he defeated Tendou and destroyed his belt, Yaguruma snaps when Tendou later transformed with a repaired belt. His resulting mental state caused him to disregard the safety of his team in favor of getting revenge against Tendou, which led to his Zecter rejecting him and being transferred out of Shadow. After this he was reassigned to another part of the city, he learned that the members of his former team were being eliminated from within by a traitor. Despite his renewed vow to protect his team, Kageyama was made the new TheBee and new leader of Shadow, turning his back on his former superior.

After a series of unknown events, Yaguruma returned as a very different person with a wild leather jacket outfit. The loss of his rank and dignity because of Tendou had driven him very insane, seeing himself as a "loser" unworthy of his previous ideology and he embraces a new ideology around hell and darkness. After bringing Kageyama under his wing once more, Yaguruma attempts to stir his partner on to see things as he does, seeing that Kageyama is only setting himself up for a fall at the slightest glimmer of hope while expressing a bit of envy because he could no longer feel any emotion. As either TheBee or KickHopper, Yaguruma uses a fighting style themed around kicking attacks, but his fighting style as Kick Hopper is much more brutal, meeting every attack with an attack of his own rather than a traditional block or parry.

Kamen Rider KickHopper has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
