Advertisements show a horror film theme to the series, with the motif for Kamen Rider Kiva as a vampire.

The story is set twenty-two years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai (portrayed by Koji Seto) lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined as Kamen Rider Kiva to fight life-draining monsters belonging to the Fangire Clan, the very race his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru must also deal with a second rider in the series (named Kamen Rider IXA (仮面ライダーイクサ, Kamen Raidā Ikusa)) who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, as well as kill Kiva for being a greater threat than the Fangire themselves.

The Fangire (ファンガイア, Fangaia) are stained glass-based vampires who feed off of the Life Energy (ライフエナジー, Raifu Enajī) of humans to survive, with which they can disguise themselves as humans. Because of this, aware humans have formed a group to hunt the Fangire. However, thus far only Kiva and IXA (Keisuke Nago) have been able to defeat and shatter a Fangire. Though Kiva captures its soul, IXA wipes out the Fangire's existence.

The dragon symbolism is from "the Order of Draco" which in legends about Dracula (The most famous Vampire), he was part of this group. http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~emiller/dragon.ht...

So Karmen Rider Kiva being a vampire, it's no surprise he would have a dragon at his command.
