Biography[]
Daizaburo Daima began studying the Youkai after incidents began occurring where Youkai were terrorizing humans. This led Daima and his assistant, policewoman and ninth level ninja Lisa Akechi, to be targeted by the Youkai Backbeard. As they were fleeing, they received help from university athlete Kei Tsukimura in fighting off the Yoki soldiers that Backbeard had summoned. It was then that Daima discovered that Kei was one of the three people chosen to receive the capsules that contained the spirits of each of the Akumaizer 3. Kei at first refused to believe this and chose to keep on being a university student, but after finding himself targeted by Backbeard he went to Daima and agreed to undergo the ritual to awaken the Army Destroying Star inside of him. Daima awoke the power of the spirit of Xavitan within Kei, granting him the power to become Choujin Bibyun and battle Youkai. He would soon be joined by Ichiro Suga and Go Watabe, who likewise had the powers of Evil and Gabra awakened in them as well to grant them the power to become Choujins Bashaan and Zusheen. The spirits of the Akumaizer 3 would meanwhile depart for the afterlife, but not before entrusting the Choujins to defend humanity in their place and giving them a "gift" in the form of BeniShark.
