Takeshi Hongo

Takeshi Hongo is a japanese man, being an excellent sportsman and a good student, he has black hair and black pupils, he's around his 20s.

As the Kamen Rider, he wears a sleek, dark green helmet. It features large, bug-like pinkish-red eyes. Two thin, silver antennae. The lower part of the helmet has a teal jaw. The chest is protected by a teal, ridged armor piece attached to a black, leather-like bodysuit. A bright red scarf is wrapped around his neck. He has a white belt encircling the waist, it has a central, red, fan. He wears green, leather-like gloves and also green leather-like boots.

{{Takeshi is a man forced to bear power and is stripped of his humanity. Takeshi Hongo, is an Augmentation made by SHOCKER Despite his power, Hongo tries to remain human. Along with maintaining his freedom.}}

{{Takeshi has a kind heart, and has sworn to protect the innocent as a Kamen Rider. In general, Hongo is not good at talking to others. Being a motorcycle enthusiast, Hongo takes motorcycle racing very seriously, spending much of his free time practicing under Tachibana's coaching. Equaling this is Hongo's interest in science, with his expert field of study being bio-chemistry.}}

{{Hongo is horrified at the violence he's capable of inflicting on others while in his transformed state, the emotional disassociation caused by the helmet's functions almost framing his Batta-Aug form as a Superpowered Evil Side. Although Hongo still takes the fight to SHOCKER as Kamen Rider, he remains a Reluctant Warrior.}}

{{Having been turned into a Cyborg by Shocker, he feels that he can never truly be part of society again, avoiding things like romance. Hongo is much more vulnerable and emotionally withdrawn, Ruriko outright describes him as socially inept despite his intelligence. And rather than a result of being an Augment, it's likely that this predates being turned into a Augment, as a gifted yet lonely college student who watched his father die in a hostage situation}}

{{Despite having every reason under the sun to lash out and resent his situation—being kidnapped and transformed into a monstrously powerful mutant, only to then get thrust into a life-or-death battle against the secret society responsible—Hongo remains a kindhearted soul who abhors violence and bears no ill will towards others. Notably, he bows his head in silence after defeating Kumo-Aug, despite the fact that Kumo had killed Midorikawa and tried to kill him too; and tries to spare the lives of his enemies whenever he can help it, such as in his fights against Hachi-Aug and Ichimonji. Ruriko openly wonders if Hongo is too kind for his own good.}}

{{Takeshi Hongo was kidnapped and transformed into the Grasshopper Augment by Shocker. As Hongo escapes from Shocker with Ruriko Midorikawa, Kumo Augment goes after him and his henchmen masquerading as riot police abduct Ruriko. However, Ruriko is protected by Hongo, who transforms into his Augment form and they escape to a hidden cabin. Dr. Hiroshi Midorikawa reverts Hongo to his civilian form at the hideout by expelling the excess prana life energy. Kumo Augment arrives to kill Dr. Midorikawa and kidnaps his daughter. Hongo pursues and defeats Kumo Augment with his Augment abilities and is dubbed "Kamen Rider".}}

{{Before being augmented, Hongo was a person who liked to travel by motorcycle. He was not good at talking to others, so he was unemployed, but he was an excellent sportsman and a good student. Above all, he had a kind heart. That's why he became the Kamen Rider. He really doesn't like violence, but his strong desire to protect people has made him determined to continue fighting against Shocker.}}

{{Takeshi witnessed his father, who was a policeman, being stabbed to death by a violent criminal he tried to ease. The strong despair he felt at that time and his father's willingness to help even criminals without using the power of a gun led him to wish for the power to protect those he loved.}}

{{Takeshi was abducted by Shocker under the recommendation of Dr. Hiroshi Midorikawa, a biochemist whom he studied under as a university student. His body was upgraded against his will by Midorikawa's research group into grasshopper Augment-01, the masterpiece of the Synthetic Insect-Hybrid Augmentation Project.}}

{{Hongo goes on to fight against many of Shocker's creations, stopping their various plans. He really doesn't like violence, but his strong desire to protect people has made him determined to continue fighting against Shocker.}}

{{Hongo has superhuman abilities augmented far beyond the most gifted athletes. With each battle, Hongo continues to grow stronger, possessing unlimited potential.}}

{{In human form, Hongo can break apart metal objects in an instant. By transforming into Kamen Rider, Hongo damaged Shocker's armored bus, has defeated the Bat-Augmentated monster with his powerful Rider-Kick.}}

{{Hongo can react to dangers that move at the speed of light, Through receiving a strong gust of wind, Hongo can recover from any physical injuries.}}

{{Because he was meant to be Shocker’s greatest altered human, Kamen Rider's capabilities are far greater than a normal man. He has the ability to hear at distances up to 4 kilometers away. He can break a meter thick tree trunk or a metal rod 10 cm thick with his Rider Chop. His Rider Kick has enough power to bend steel supports of buildings.}}

{{Hongo uses the power of the wind to fight. To transform, Hongo originally sped on his motorcycle, Cyclone, and leaps into the air, creating wind-pressure against his Typhoon belt. The pressure spins the wheel in the center of his belt which then activates the micro-nuclear engine and allows him to transform.}}

{{The Sustainable Happiness Organization with Computational Knowledge Embedded Remodeling, also known as Shocker, is an evil organization that claims to be a secret society that pursues happiness for humanity, but in reality is responsible for numerous kidnappings and murders.}}
