Background

Kintaros is not originally one of Nogami Ryoutarou's Imagins, he possessed a human being from the year 2007 like other Imagins. His original contract holder was Honjou Masaru, a karateka retired due to sickness. Kintaros wanted to grant Honjou's wish so much, that he risked his life and was mortally wounded when protecting Honjou. Ryoutarou, wanting to save Kintaros from disappearing, allowed Kintaros to form a contract with him.

His image of a golden bear is based on the Kintarou legend. Naomi is the one who decided on the name "Kintaros".
