Jiro is the human form of Kikaider, an android superhero based on the main character from Shotaro Ishinomori's Android Kikaider manga. He was featured in an episode of Kamen Rider Gaim to promote the Kikaider remake film Kikaider REBOOT. While walking with Mai, Kouta finds a man, who seems to be a street performer.
A moment later, it rains as the man does not move Kouta finds out that he's made of metal so he brings him to Team Gaim's garage. Behind the strange android was a reboot button. Kouta decides to bring the android home and care for it, despite Akira's denial. Kouta took full responsibility for him. Around the house, Jiro did chores. Kouta asked him why he was here, but Jiro didn't remember his past and only remembered he was here to protect something important. Later, while on a walk, Kouta is forced to go into battle with an Inves. Jiro watches for a moment, then comes in and scares the Inves away. Kouta deemed him as a "battle robot."

Later, Jiro and Kouta are ambushed by Hakaider. Jiro asks Kouta to press "reboot" which he does. Jiro transforms into the legendary Kikaider, a red and blue robot and Kouta fights along with him. After the battle, Kouta notices that Jiro ran off somewhere as he decides to search him. Later on, Kouta finds Jiro playing a guitar, but this time, Jiro lost his memories of Kouta. Jiro finally realizes his mission as Kouta tells him good luck on his mission.
Personality
Unlike the tokusatsu, manga and anime versions, this Jiro is more or less emotionless. He acted more like a machine while stating that his feelings are programmings (rather like Rei did). He also freely stated that he is an android. He also didn't seem to think of himself (or other machines) as "alive" nor seemingly wanted to become more human as strongly as the tokusatsu, manga and anime versions of Jiro did. This was hinted when he later shorted his Conscience Circuit to fight more evenly against his opponents.
Despite not being too similar to the Original Jiro, this Jiro also cared for others and hated taking the lives of others, whether they were human or not. He also thought of himself as incomplete which served as a problem for him.
Interestingly though, when Reboot Jiro appeared in Gaim, he acted very emotional and genuinely enjoyed being with Kouta and his sister to the point of stating it himself. He also stated his fear of becoming a destructive monster and showed his care for others. He also worked very hard for his caretakers, who noted his results. This was seemingly all erased along with his memories however, when Kouta rebooted him per Reboot Jiro's wishes. Somewhat humorously, this Jiro seems to be a fan of the Drifters (a comedy group from Japan), and the YMO for some reason.

- Kikaider is Jiro's alternate form, a powerful prototype battle android with a "heart" who fights to protect the world from the DARK organization. The form of Jiro is really the Kikaider body covered in three dimensional imaging projected from Jiro's bio-nano fiber cowl and nano-crystal display. His outer shell is half-blue and half-red because of his incomplete conscience circuit (if it was complete he would only be blue, as blue signifies "good" in the Japanese culture). This form possess great strength and agility and is able to release electricity to empower attacks. Kikaider is able to convert that electricity into electromagnetic pulses to use the destructing move Denji End.
