Fictional character biography

Masashi Sudou was a detective, using his job to effectly cover up his actions as a homicidal maniac, disposing of any witnesses to his acts. He had a partner in the older Tomoyuki Kaga who owned Tin's Collection antique shop until the older man's demand for a bigger cut in the profit made Masashi kill the man, plastering him into the wall of his own shop seconds before Shiro Kanzaki appeared and offered him the Kamen Rider deck, explaining the terms. Masashi took it gladly and made his Contract with the Mirror Monster Volcancer, becoming Kamen Rider Scissors. He and Knight confronted each other once prior to the series, neither aware of the other's identity.

Reiko was investigating Tin's Collection as some of the people missing are on her list, only to be attacked by Masashi hiding in the shadows. When the passerby she'd talked to heard the commotion and screamed for help, Masashi ran out through the back and came back at the front pretending to be a passing officer. Reiko was taken to the hospital where she would spend the next couple of days, attempting to unravel the mystery while sending Shinji to investivate for her. But when Shinji and Ren ran across Scissors in the Mirror World, Ren came to the conclusion that Kaga's the Rider. But against Ren's wishes, Shinji attempted to make nice with Scissors, leaving his calling card in the shop.

Deciding to take advantage of the boy's gulliability, Masashi easily tricked Shinji into giving his name, Knight's human identity and Yui Kanzaki's address. With that, Masashi had Volcancer make sure Ren gets into an "accident" while he attempted to kill Shinji himself from the Mirror World. When that failed, Masashi then kidnaped Yui to use her relation to Shiro for his benefit. Ren was able to corner him and rescue Yui, revealing that he nows the truth of what really happened to Kata. Masashi was forced to retreat, only to be contacted by Reiko, who learned that he was the killer and explained her reasoning to other detectives who revealed to her that the attack wasn't reported to the police to futhrer confirm her supision. The two detectives pursued Masashi from the hospital and cornered him, only for them to end up being dragged into the Mirror World by Volcancer to be devoured. Ren and Shinji arrived, learning what kind of man Masashi is before Knight and Scissors undergo their final battle in the Mirror World with Shinji watching. In the course of the battle, Scissor's Vent Deck was destroyed, thus breaking his Contract with Volcancer, who immediately grabbed him and pinned him against its chest, devouring its former master in an ironic death before Volcancer itself was destroyed by Ryuki.

In the "13 Riders" special, Masashi was among Verde's conspirators in trapping Shinji. He was killed by Kamen Rider Ohja.
