在《假面騎士利維斯》（Kamen Rider Revice）之中，阿基蕾拉（Aguilera）無疑是整部作品最具話題性與人氣的核心角色之一。這個角色由演員淺倉唯飾演，她後來改用藝名「椛島光」活動，但阿基蕾拉早已成為她演藝生涯中最具代表性的形象之一。

阿基蕾拉初登場時，是反派組織「亡命眾」（Deadmans）的精神領袖與象徵人物。她以極端虔誠的姿態崇拜始祖惡魔基夫，深信自己是「基夫的新娘」，言行之中充滿自我陶醉與狂熱色彩。這種近乎病嬌的性格設定，讓角色在早期便散發出危險又迷人的氣質，也成功塑造出不同於以往女性反派的強烈存在感。然而隨著劇情逐漸推進，觀眾才得知她的真實身份其實是名為「夏木花」的普通少女。由於童年長期處於孤獨與情感匱乏的狀態，她被亡命眾趁虛而入，透過洗腦與精神控制，讓她誤以為組織與基夫才是自己唯一的歸屬，這層悲劇性的背景也為角色後續的轉變奠定情感基礎。

在經歷多次信念崩解與自我懷疑後，阿基蕾拉最終選擇與過去切割，走上贖罪與自我救贖的道路。她加入反抗亡命眾的「周末」（Weekend）組織，並獲得變身為假面騎士的力量，正式成為正義一方的戰士。她的騎士名為「假面騎士阿基蕾拉」，使用的是周末驅動器（Libera Driver），搭配蜂王罪惡印章（Queen Bee Vistamp）進行變身。整體設計以「蜂」作為核心意象，皮套融合婚紗般的輪廓與刺客式的銳利線條，既象徵她過去被「新娘」身分束縛的人生，也展現她重獲自由後的致命與優雅，成為《利維斯》中辨識度極高的騎士造型之一。

阿基蕾拉之所以能累積極高人氣，除了角色設定本身層次豐富外，演員淺倉唯的詮釋也功不可沒。她成功演繹角色從高傲狂信、情感崩潰，到重新站穩自我的轉折過程，情緒變化細膩而具有說服力，讓觀眾不僅「看見反派洗白」，更能理解角色內心的掙扎與成長。此外，她與女主角五十嵐櫻（假面騎士貞德）之間亦敵亦友的關係，逐漸發展成深刻的情感羈絆，被粉絲暱稱為「花櫻CP」，相關戲份在播出期間引發大量討論與二創熱潮。

也正因為這樣的高人氣，官方後續特別推出以女性騎士為主軸的衍生作品《假面騎士貞德 & 假面騎士阿基蕾拉 with Girls Remix》，讓阿基蕾拉得以在正傳之外繼續延伸角色魅力，進一步鞏固其在令和假面騎士系列中的經典地位。

至於演員本人，淺倉唯於2022年底改名為椛島光，重新調整事業方向，但仍持續活躍於日本演藝圈，參與電視劇、寫真與雜誌拍攝等多元工作。即便如此，對許多觀眾而言，「阿基蕾拉」依舊是她最令人印象深刻、也最具象徵性的角色之一。

In Kamen Rider Revice, Aguilera is unquestionably one of the most talked-about and popular core characters in the series. She is portrayed by actress Yui Asakura, who later adopted the stage name Hikari Kabashima. Even so, Aguilera has already become one of the most iconic roles of her career.

When Aguilera first appears, she serves as the spiritual leader and symbolic figure of the antagonistic organization Deadmans. She worships the primordial demon Giff with extreme devotion and firmly believes herself to be “Giff’s bride.” Her words and actions are filled with self-absorption and fanaticism, giving her a dangerous yet captivating presence, along with a distinctly yandere-like personality. This early characterization immediately set her apart from previous female villains in the franchise. As the story unfolds, however, her true identity is revealed: her real name is Hana Natsuki, an ordinary girl who grew up in deep loneliness and emotional neglect. Exploited at her most vulnerable, she was deceived and psychologically manipulated by the Deadmans, coming to believe that the organization and Giff were her only place of belonging. This tragic background lays the emotional foundation for her later transformation.

After suffering repeated collapses of faith and confronting her own inner emptiness, Aguilera ultimately chooses to sever ties with her past and embark on a path of atonement and self-redemption. She joins the anti-Deadmans organization Weekend and gains the power to transform into a Kamen Rider, officially standing on the side of justice. Her Rider name is Kamen Rider Aguilera, and she transforms using the Libera Driver together with the Queen Bee Vistamp. Her design centers on a bee motif, blending wedding-dress-like elegance with the sharp, lethal aesthetics of an assassin. This visual concept symbolizes both the “bride” identity that once bound her and the deadly grace she possesses after reclaiming her freedom, making her one of the most visually distinctive Riders in Revice.

Aguilera’s immense popularity stems not only from her layered character writing but also from Yui Asakura’s performance. She convincingly portrays Aguilera’s journey from arrogant fanaticism, through emotional collapse, to renewed self-determination, with subtle and believable emotional transitions. Viewers are not simply watching a villain’s redemption, but are drawn into the character’s psychological struggle and growth. In addition, her complex relationship with the female lead Sakura Igarashi (Kamen Rider Jeanne) evolves from hostility into a deep emotional bond. This dynamic, affectionately dubbed the “HanaSakura pairing” by fans, became one of the show’s highlights and inspired extensive fan discussion and creative works.

Owing to this overwhelming popularity, the franchise later released a spin-off centered on female Riders, Kamen Rider Jeanne & Kamen Rider Aguilera with Girls Remix, allowing Aguilera’s story and appeal to continue beyond the main series and further solidifying her status as a standout character in the Reiwa-era Kamen Rider lineup.

As for the actress herself, Yui Asakura changed her name to Hikari Kabashima at the end of 2022 and adjusted her career direction, yet she remains active in the Japanese entertainment industry, appearing in television dramas, photo shoots, and magazines. For many fans, however, Aguilera remains her most unforgettable and defining role.
