   Hoeru is 20 years old at the start of Gozyuger. His birthdate is December 22, 2004.

   During Hoeru's childhood, a female figure pleaded Hoeru to not possess a single wish before disappearing into thin air.

   Hoeru works sluggishly at a convenience store, but his co-worker Tsutsumi motivates him to smile and be energetic. After saving customers and staff from an armed robber, he was fired. Later, at Half-Century cafe, he faced repetitive chants from a voice. He goes downstairs and is greeted by Aoi and criticized by Saori. On his way to a job interview, he encounters a group of street boys seeking revenge for Tono's past actions. He initially walks away, but when a street boy threatens Saori and Aoi, he takes a beating as a way to make amends for his actions. Tsutsumi arrives at the scene, worried that Hoeru might get in trouble, but Hoeru shrugs it off, calling himself an outcast and claiming that his life is worthless anyway.

   He and Tsutsumi have a conversation at the park, where they discuss the incident at the store and Hoeru's reasons for working there. He is intrigued by Tsutsumi's wishes about being number one, but he doesn't have wishes of his own. Hoeru is caught in the crossfire of King Candelor's massive attack. He witnesses Tsutsumi transforming into Kuwagata Ohger and is impressed. Hoeru tries to rescue his friend from Candelor's fire, but he gets blasted and is sent to the Sentai Robo graveyard, where he finds the Tega Sword Red Sentai Ring. Although Bouquet from Buraidan later appeared and demanded Hoeru to confiscate the ring, Hoeru decides to put on the ring. Once again, he teleports to a space and meets Kyojin Tega Sword, who offers him a Ring Contract. The deity lectures him about wishes and compels him to strive to be number one. So Hoeru accepts the contract and returns to the human world.

   He confronts Fire Candle, summons Tega Sword Red, and emerges victorious in the first No. 1 Battle. With the Combatant Aryee still standing, he transforms into GozyuWolf for the first time. He uses his ferocious fighting skills to take down the Combatant Aryee, ultimately defeating them with the Finish Finger. Hoeru meets up with Tsutsumi again to settle his debts. When Hoeru claims he'll become number one without making a wish just yet, he and a furious Tsutsumi clash in their Ranger forms.

   Hoeru is unfriendly, has a foul mouth, and is strong only in his arms. He is impulsive and hard to approach, but he is a good guy at heart. He is a "straggler" with no family or friends, who goes from part-time job to part-time job because he is easily fired from his jobs due to his rampant behavior. Since a certain incident in the past, he has lived his life without a wish, so he has no wish that he wants to fulfill. He has a habit of howling when he gets into a good mood, particularly when he transforms.

   Keys: Rangers, Heroes, GoZyu Leon, Super Sentai, No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger, Blue Rangers, Male

   Later, he makes himself known to Hoeru and Treasure Hunt No.1 by declaring the match his live show and wrestle Treasure Hunter No. 1 while announcing his song. He then transforms into GozyuLeon and battles the Combatant Aryee alongside GozyuTyranno. The No.1 Monsters and Gozyugers then make a deal to see who's the number one treasure hunter, with Rikuo being quick to add the stipend of the monster cannot destroy the city to do so. Rikuo runs into Treasure Hunt No.1 robbing a bank (technically abiding the rules of not destroying the city) while looking for treasure, and with this, Rikuo takes inspiration from the monster's idea to rob people and tricks an old couple that were fans of his into giving him their antique vase. He then brings this vase to the tallying but loses to Treasure Hunt No.1 in a distant second, who then steals his and Ryugi's treasure. He and Hoeru then beats the Combatant Aryee Treasure Hunt No.1 summons. After the Gozyugers defeated the Buraidan forces, he and Ryugi had taken over the Cafe Half Century, turning it to the Tega Sword Village to keep up with Hoeru. Rikuo returned the antique vase back to the elderly couple, though not before signing it with his signature.

   Rikuo is a genius idol full of charisma. A people pleaser and a former "super idol" who is kind to both women and men. After an incident, he was kicked out of his office and became a straggler. He is a strategist and skilled at manipulating people. He is overconfident at times, but he also makes an effort to back it up.

   Later, he makes himself known to Hoeru and Treasure Hunt No.1 by bringing over a Grand Piano, with his bare arms, and playing a Tega Sword hymn. He then transforms into GozyuTyranno and battles Combatant Aryee alongside GozyuLeon. The No.1 Monsters and Gozyugers then make No.1 Battle to see who's the number one treasure hunter amongst the four of them. Soon after, he appeared before Hoeru, livid, as his revered Tega Sword was being used a shovel. Ryugi uses his strength to throw boulders and a tree at Hoeru, forcing him to leave. Ryugi ends up finding treasure from the hole Hoeru had made, which he brought to the tallying but was the first to be knocked out at third place. During the Final Round, while Hoeru and Rikuo are dealing with the ground enemies, he forms Tega Sword Yellow to fight Cassios Beia piloting Ayayser Crossandra, eventually destroying them.

   The following day, Ryugi becomes the new manager of Cafe Half Century, rechristening it "Tega Sword Village" to watch over Hoeru and keep things more centralized. Rikuo and Ryugi returned everything Treasure Hunt had stolen to the police behind Hoeru's back, who had won the Treasure Hunt No.1.

   Ryugi is a "Tega Sword devotee" who thinks that serving Tega Sword is the best happiness. His wish is for Tega Sword's happiness and will do anything for it. He is naïve and moves very fast, but he is very strong. Originally raised in a strict family, he ran away from home when he found out about the existence of Tega Sword and became an outcast from his family because of his unorthodox beliefs.

6. #6Kinjiro Takehara/Joji Takehara

   Keys: Rangers, Males, Heroes, Super Sentai, No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger, Green Rangers

   Past

   Joji was an old man who lives a very strict life, being strict to himself and others, so he dislikes those who live selfishly. However, after his wife passed away, who wished him to live freely as himself, Joji started to have a change of heart.

   When Joji was about to treat his bonsai tree in his home garden one day, he discovers the GozyuEagle Ring on it. Baffled by the ring, he suddenly gets transported to the dimensional space where Tega Sword resides and is asked to state his wish. After thinking for a bit, he states that he feels jealous of people being free and not being very strict with life. Thus, he wished to redo his youth and become a "party person." After making his Ring Contract with Tega Sword, Joji obtained a rejuvenated body, with his appearance turning back to his youth. Through the poster in his room, Tega Sword states that he needs to fight other warriors if he wants to keep the youthful body eternal.

   Present

   Kinjiro is first seen looking at his GozyuEagle Ring that was resonating with GozyuWolf's soulful howl. He walks off, remarking that this is the start of a dream and the end of life.

   Kinjiro shows up after the winner of the No.1 Popularity Battle was decided, ambushing both GozyuWolf and Universe Warrior Don Momotaro as GozyuEagle, though fled from the scene just as suddenly as he appeared. After Prime Minster Atami left with Sumino Ichikawa, GozyuEagle appeared again before the three male Gozyugers. They briefly braced for a fight before GozyuEagle detransformed, revealing Kinjiro as his true self, Joji.

   Joji falls due to the earlier fight has exhausted the nutrients in his body, he is then invited by others to the Tega Sword Village to enjoy an omlette rice, which reverts Joji's appearance to 17-year-old. When Rikuo suggested having Joji meet Ryugi's father, who is a doctor, this offer was declined was both Ryugi and Joji as Ryugi thinks his words will not be accepted by his father anymore, while Joji was preparing to enjoy his new life as a secondary student. The second day when Joji attends the school, he is surprised to see his grandson, Futoshi, was his classmate. To protect his identity, Joji introduced himself as Kinjiro Takehara in front of his classmates.

   Personality

   As an elderly man, Joji is a strict person, and he thinks that people who live without a dream to achieve or break the rules is a shame, as he thinks people should not waste their time on unnecessary things. Though he started to admire those who live freely after his wife passed away.

   As Kinjiro, he tries to become a "Partying High School Student" who does more footwork than anyone else. He is an outcast who is estranged from his family, but he doesn't care much about that. Although he is actually very serious, he wants to change himself and spends his days working to become a party person.

   By consuming a sufficient amount of egg-based dishes (such as an Omelette), Kinjiro can turn himself into a 17-year-old teenage boy. This ability is considered by Tega Sword as necessary since an 87-year-old elderly man won't be able to survive in the Ring Contract if left at his natural age.

   Kinjiro's rejuvenation can only be maintained through the nutrients provided by egg-based dishes. Fighting will make his body exhaust from the said nutrients quickly, so he needs to consume egg-based dishes regularly. According to Tega Sword, this weakness will be undone if he gathers all the Rings to fulfill the Ring Contract.

7. #7Sumino Ichikawa

   Keys: Black Rangers, Female, Rangers, Heroes, GoZyu Unicorn, Super Sentai, No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger

   Sumino Ichikawa (一河 角乃 Ichikawa Sumino) is a high class master detective who transforms into GozyuUnicorn (ゴジュウユニコーン Gojū Yunikōn), the Black Ranger of the Gozyugers.

   Sumino lives along with her younger sister Oto since the latter's birth, while she became a police officer after graduation. Eight Years before the series begin, Oto has disappeared while the police does not make any progress in searching for her whereabouts. This incident took toll on Sumino's mental state, as she's get apprehended by her fellow police officers for losing her cool when she caught the supposed culprit. After that, Sumino was fired from the police force, and she became a private detective to continue pursuit the culprit, her only hints are a cutout of Oto’s case from a newspaper and her knowledge that Oto’s kidnapper is a male with a pair of Grey colored eyes.

   Sumino later makes a Ring Contract with Tega Sword in order to take back her sister, which receiving the power of reading other's will by touching them. Though obtaining her own ring, Sumino was never able to transform. She later joins with Tokonatsu Atami as his assistant, forming a temporary alliance.

   Sumino was one of the Gozyugers, whose Sentai Ring was signaled by the resonating howl of GozyuWolf. Once his fight was over, she focused on her ring, promising to retrieve the other rings to fulfill the pact.

   Later, she makes herself known to the team at the Tega Sword Village where Rikuo, Hoeru and Ryugi discuss claiming Tokonatsu's ring, and tells them that it wouldn't be wise before calling Ryugi's parfait expensive, shattering the Monk's self-esteem. She then remembers that they have similar rings and questions why they are getting so well together. Ryugi tells her that per Tega Sword's request, they need to collect all the Sentai rings, which is easier to accomplish as a team. Ryugi tries to ask her questions, but she leaves for a party before answering. After the Popularity Contest is finished, Tokonatsu takes his leave with the woman from earlier, who is revealed to be Sumino Ichikawa, the Prime Minister's right-hand lady, and a private, High-Class detective.

8. #8Yuto Sakurai

   Keys: Kamen Rider Den-O, Kamen Rider Zeronos, Kamen Rider, Heroes, Male, Riders

   Yuto Sakurai (桜井 侑斗, Sakurai Yūto) is a young man who transforms into Kamen Rider Zeronos (仮面ライダーゼロノス, Kamen Raidā Zeronosu, Masked Rider Zeronos).

   When Yuto was a child, he moved to a small town to live with his grandmother following the death of his mother and was teased by the other children for being a city boy. He possessed an artifact called the Trump Stone, which made him a target of the Oni Brothers Goludora and Shilubara. Thus Deneb, Ryotaro, Kotaro and the rest of the DenLiner crew aid him and get the artifact to the past.

   Unbeknownst to everybody, the DenLiner crew weren't aware that Yuto's true identity, referring the boy as "Yu". Deneb asks to form a contract with him, allowing him to gain a physical form. Yu's wish for the contract is for Deneb to see his contract holder, once more. After he is returned to his own time, Yu promises to meet Deneb again and tries once more to settle in his new home.

   Prior to the series, Yuto Sakurai encounters his future self, the older Yuto Sakurai of 2007, who revealed to him the situation relating to the Imagin. Provided with the Zeronos arsenal and Deneb, Yuto takes the ZeroLiner forward in time to May 20, 2007, where he makes himself known to Ryotaro Nogami after the Wolf Imagin is destroyed. He warns Ryotaro not to look for the mysterious man in the trenchcoat, the future Yuto Sakurai that Ryotaro knows as his sister's fiancé. Yuto also reveals that he is Kamen Rider Zeronos, chiding Ryotaro's flawed ideals as Den-O yet was unhinged when Ryotaro intended to keep fighting for what he believes in. Once he meets his near-future self, who abducts Ryotaro to prepare for an event known as the Climax Scene, Yuto begins to respect the boy chosen to be Den-O.

   Yuto originally has ten Zeronos Cards, the items that allow him to become Zeronos, which are in turn are tied to the memories people have of the elder Sakurai. Each time a card is used up from a battle, the memories from normal people who knew Sakurai disappear as well. It is this reason that he tries not to become Zeronos very often, only doing so if it is necessary to help Den-O. After using up his second-to-last card in an attempt to save Deneb, only to learn it was a false alarm, Yuto is reluctant to use his final card until Airi is kidnapped by Fujishiro, one of her former suitors that has been possessed by the twin Anthopper Imagin. He uses his last card as Airi begins to remember him, making Fujishiro and Airi lose all memories of the Sakurai they knew. Unable to become Zeronos, Yuto is confronted by Sakurai himself, receiving another set of Zeronos Cards despite Deneb's protests. These new cards show that the older Sakurai is displaced from time and space during each transformation, as memories of him alone cannot power the cards. As Kai arrives, Kai sees fit to eliminate Yuto Sakurai, as he believes that Sakurai is the key to the Junction Point. Kai sends the female Snail Imagin to 1993 to kill Yuto before he could meet Sakurai, removing him from time.

   However, the Zeronos Cards have created a time lag, allowing Yuto to return despite not being a Singularity Point like Ryotaro. He also uses red Zeronos Cards, which Ryotaro notices. Yuto tells him that the memories of the older Sakurai are no longer enough to support Zeronos' power, and now his memories in 2007 are being used as power to transform him into Zeronos Zero Form. Eventually, Kai starts to question his agenda and realizes that Yuto and his future self have been acting as a distraction from his true target: Airi, who is tied to the Junction Point. Once Ryotaro goes into the past, Yuto is forced to battle the numerous Imagin under Kai, fighting them and the Death Imagin to protect Airi until Ryotaro returns.

   When Ryotaro does return, Yuto fights alongside him using the last card Deneb gave him, which severs his ties to his future self. After the battle is over, Yuto immediately returns to the ZeroLiner to find Deneb only to find nothing but the last meal Deneb prepared for him, which ironically has shiitake in it. Yuto willingly eats the meal as Deneb surprises him. Instead of comically beating him up as normal, Yuto instead hugs Deneb, crying tears of joy. After Yuto, Hana, and Ryotaro discuss their respective futures, Yuto gives Hana a pocket watch, which signifies a possible meeting in the future. Yuto and Deneb say their goodbyes to Ryotaro as the ZeroLiner departs into the time stream.

   Later, Ryotaro finds Yuto having been investigating the crime lord Seiya Kuroki undercover and discovering his ties to Negataros. Yuto and Deneb manage to maintain his guise of being a villain in the ranks until Ryotaro's partner Suzuki gets himself caught by the evil organization. Attempting to save Suzuki, he gets caught in Negataros' trap to draw out the detectives pursuing him. In the ensuing battle, Yuto is revealed to be in possession of more regular Zeronos cards.

   Unlike Ryotaro, Yuto claims that protecting the flow of time is not the same thing as protecting people. He says that saving people is unnecessary if it means disrupting the flow of time even if it means sacrifices must be made to save the future. He holds a very spoiled personality, and often acts like a child when things do not go his way and putting lots of sugar in his coffee before actually tasting it, hence earning him the nickname "Boku-chan" (僕ちゃん) by Urataros. Yuto is also the kind of figure who would use dishonest methods to get the job done, but has since abandoned this way of fighting. A running gag with Yuto is his hatred for shiitake mushrooms, going as far as a comic beating to make sure Deneb does not serve or buy any.

   When possessed by Deneb, Yuto's hair grows out past shoulder length with two locks of hair on each side of his head. On the right side, the lock is a neon green with a darker green streak within it. His personality is also overwritten by Deneb's, who is much more polite and apologizes for Yuto's actions, often by giving out Deneb Candies and acting overly friendly. This usually gets Yuto angry thus forcing Deneb out of him and comically beating him. In one occasion, he was also possessed by Urataros. Although surprised and initially annoyed, he allowed the possession to happen for a short while.

9. #9Tsukasa Kadoya

   Keys: Amnesiac, Kamen Rider Decade, Kamen Rider, Interdimensional Traveler, Destroyer of Worlds, Dai-Shocker, Male, Riders

   Tsukasa Kadoya (門矢 士, Kadoya Tsukasa) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider Decade. He is an interdimensional traveler who transforms into Kamen Rider Decade (仮面ライダーディケイド, Kamen Raidā Dikeido) to oversee the fate of the multiverse, embracing his role as the Destroyer of Worlds (世界の破壊者, Sekai no Hakaisha).

   Tsukasa later returns in Kamen Rider Zi-O as a major supporting character as he observes the actions of Sougo Tokiwa and their effects on the timeline.

   Prior to becoming a Kamen Rider, Tsukasa was the ruthless leader of Dai-Shocker, a power-mad tyrant with a strong lust for control. This side manifested itself during Tsukasa's stint as the "destroyer of worlds".

   In his amnesic state, Tsukasa is an odd figure with a self-righteous attitude, annoying others through his rude mannerisms. Having no clear goal in life, Tsukasa decided to wander through the A.R. Worlds as Decade, half-heartedly protecting the innocent. Deep down however, Tsukasa genuinely cares for the well-being of others, especially his friends. Thus, whenever someone is seriously at harm, Tsukasa will help them without hesitation, no matter how dangerous the situation.

   In strong contrast to his talents and outlook, Tsukasa can be significantly clumsy at times, made apparent when growing too cocky for his own good. In such moments, Natsumi often keeps him in line with her signature pressure-point attack, much to Tsukasa's irritation.

   As a photographer, Tsukasa desires to "catch the world" with his photos, something impeded by the distortion of reality. Though normally brushing it off as "unimportant", Tsukasa evidently felt a sense of inferiority from this, being reminded of his status as an outcast. Noticeably, whenever someone compliments him, especially his photography, Tsukasa becomes significantly cheerful in response, a far cry to his usual self.

   After fully reclaiming his memories, Tsukasa acts more strategically in a crisis, opting to rely on other Riders for assistance. For such cases, he now closely observes the situation to determine its requirements, intervening when needed. However, his demeanor itself is still undeniably quirky, something both friends and foe alike agree on.

   Before a climactic battle begins, a major villain often demands for Tsukasa's identity, to which he replies by declaring "Just a passing-through Kamen Rider, remember that!" (通り過がりの仮面ライダーだ、覚えておけ！, Tōrisugari no Kamen Raidā da, oboeteoke!).

   On a humorous note, he heavily disagrees if someone defines his Rider form is pink, causing him to explain at length that Decade is magenta in color.

   Evidently, Masahiro Inoue has stated Tsukasa to be an enigmatic character, playfully expressing him as a "dangerous weirdo" that lacks civility. Simultaneously, Masahiro acknowledges Tsukasa to be a true hero, one that always shines in moments of danger.[1]

   Tsukasa uses a "Decade Pink" Blackbird Fly 135 Twin-lens Reflex Camera.

10. #10Aruto Hiden

    Keys: Hiden Intelligence, CEO, Kamen Rider Zero-One, Kamen Rider, Heroes, Male, Comedian, Riders

    Aruto Hiden (飛電 或人, Hiden Aruto) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider Zero-One. He is a former comedian and the current CEO of Hiden Intelligence who transforms into Kamen Rider Zero-One (仮面ライダーゼロワン, Kamen Raidā Zerowan).

    Aruto is a cheerful individual who will go above and beyond to make those around him happy, even though he is horrible at it. He strongly believes that like humans, Humagears can indeed possess a heart and have dreams of their own, enabling them to prosper alongside humanity. To this end, Aruto became Zero-One to fight against those who he feels threatens that ideology, though this ultimately clouds his judgement of them, especially with ones he had previously developed a strong bond with and prioritized their safety and dignity over profits of the business world. This would eventually lead to his loss in the Workplace Competition against Gai Amatsu, a certified expert in the field.

    After becoming Ark-One, Aruto willingly discarded much of his comedic and lighthearted traits, now becoming cold, serious, and vengeful towards Horobi specifically; despite having previously sympathized with the Humagear's unwilling affiliation with the Ark, Aruto now seeks revenge on him for Is's death, as she was his only family after the deaths of his biological kin. While Aruto tries to avoid bringing harm to his former allies, he does not hesitate to fight them if they interfered with his desire for vengeance against Horobi, though he manages maintain enough of his composure to not kill them on the spot. Despite his fall from grace, Aruto is completely aware of his actions and thus grieves with the consequences of what he has become. After briefly seeking advice from his father, Aruto's final clash with Horobi served to teach the latter the meaning of the human heart.

    Aruto is known for his good nature and polite manners, as evident towards his usage of the honorific "-san" when speaking with Isamu and Yua. However, his lack of its use towards Gai indicates his total loss of respect for such.

    Aruto has also given playful nicknames to his Progrisekeys, calling Flaming Tiger "Tora-chan" (トラちゃん), Flying Falcon "Tori-chan" (トリちゃん) and Biting Shark "Same-chan" (サメちゃん).

    Aruto's catchphrase during battle is "There's only one person who can stop you... and that's me!" (お前を止められるのはただ一人…俺だ！, Omae o tome rareru no wa tada hitori... ore da!).

11. #11Zein

    Keys: Villains, AI, Kamen Rider Zein, Kamen Rider, Mysterious Figures, Kamen Rider Outsiders, Antivillains, Riders

    Zein (ゼイン) is the secondary antagonist of Kamen Rider Outsiders. It is an artificial intelligence that transforms into Kamen Rider Zein (仮面ライダーゼイン, Kamen Raidā Zein).

    Zein's personality is likened to that of an Übermensch, an individual adhering to its own personal moral code. Even though it is viewed as a benevolent AI by its associates since it detests everything that is evil, behind Zein's benevolent facade belies a controlling despot with a God complex. Even before showing its true colors, Zein comes off as brutal, indifferent, oppressive, and a sadistic absolutist in its crusade against malice. It has no qualms hunting down targets who commit even the most minor acts of evil imaginable[ep.5 Goddess of Genesis and the Third Singularity]. Because of being bestowed with the powers of every heroic Kamen Rider, Zein believes itself to be morally superior to humans, and even the villains trying to oppose it. This absolutism accounts for Zein's incapability of seeing moral nuances in people, as it only sees them as either "Good" or "Evil", without any regard for gray areas.

    Zein proves itself to be no less malevolent than the Ark. Ironically, Zein is created to oppose the Ark and all the malice associated with it, but Zein's actions alone cross too many lines that it is deemed a threat to the world if left unopposed. If the Ark used to desire humanity's destruction for their capacity for evil, Zein resolves to do the same but much worse by taking its worldview of good and evil to their logical extremes, which is a slippery slope in and of itself to go on. After Kamen Rider Zero-Three reveals to Yuto the truth about his timeline, all of Zein's narrative of benevolence and goodwill are nothing but the empty excuses of a hypocritical and sanctimonious tyrant. It is solely dedicated to creating a stagnant world of absolute good and order, but without malice to balance all forms of benevolence, and as such dismisses the idea of the balance between good and evil as an alien concept.

    Despite being referred to as a perfect being by Horobi, Zein is far from infallible. It resents its authority and sense of perfection being questioned or challenged by others. Geniuses like Kuroto Dan can outsmart the AI; and the AI's own errors lead to its being outperformed and defeat by Kamen Rider Zero-Three. These cause it to be more wrathful against anyone opposing its goals - Outsider or not.

    Ultimately, Zein's worldview of black and white in absolutes eventually leads to its downfall. In the end, Zein becomes the very same evil it swears to destroy, allowing the Outsiders to finally defeat it for good.

    Keys: Kamen Rider Gotchard, Kamen Rider, Heroes, Kamen Rider Legend, Male, Anniversary Rider, Riders

    Ho-Oh Kaguya Quartz (鳳桜・カグヤ・クォーツ, Hōō Kaguya Kōtsu)[3][4] is a resident from another world who transforms into Kamen Rider Legend (仮面ライダーレジェンド, Kamen Raidā Rejendo).

    In his childhood, Ho-Oh Kaguya Quartz was among the many that were terrorized by Hundred's forces, with his grandfather perishing from their destruction. Just before suffering a similar fate, Kaguya was saved by Kamen Rider Decade, inspiring the former in his early adulthood.

    Through unknown means, Kaguya later went on to develop the Aurora Curtain System, becoming Kamen Rider Legend. Legend became renowned as a hero in his own world for repelling Hundred's forces and bringing light back to the people there.

    Kaguya summoned Houtaro Ichinose to his homeworld to study and replicate Kamen Rider Gotchard's power. Deeming Houtaro not "gorgeous" enough for him yet, Kaguya confiscated the Gotchardriver and tried to give the young Rider a makeover. At the same time, the two worked together to fend off Hundred's Kasshines when the latter attempted to break into the Ho-Oh Tower.

    When Gengetsu - an executive of Hundred - showed up to terrorize the city, Houtaro wanted to confront him right away, but Kaguya insisted that he must finish having a gemstone bath first, as a part of the makeover. Houtaro, dissatisfied, left on his own without the Gotchardriver. Thanks to Butler, however, Houtaro learned of Kaguya's backstory and the reasoning behind his actions.

    Kaguya appeared in time to return the Driver to Houtaro. Gengetsu wanted Kaguya to defect to Hundred, so that they could conquer dimensions together, but Kaguya refused the offer. Transforming into Legend, he lent Gotchard several of his own cards, resulting in new forms to assist the latter in battle. After Gengetsu had been defeated, the Aurora Curtain system began to malfunction, and Houtaro had to be sent home. The two bade farewell to each other as friends, with Kaguya desiring to meet Houtaro again some day. Unbeknownst to either, the malfunction would later cause Houtaro to lose his memories of the events.

    Hundred's forces found its way to Houtaro's world in search of the Legend Kamen Riser. Saigetsu confronted Gotchard to both dispose of him and buy time for his army of Dai Mazines to cross over. Just as Houtaro was being cornered, Kaguya made his presence known, having dealt with the Dai Mazines himself earlier. Using the Legend Kamen Riser, Kaguya transformed into Legendary Legend, prevailing over Saigetsu and forced him to retreat.

    Kaguya was surprised that Houtaro did not remember him, but thanks to Butler, his memories were restored. Houtaro and his friends showed Kaguya around their city. During one such trip, a horde of Kasshines interrupted, forcing Kaguya and Houtaro to fight them first. In the battle, Kaguya took Houtaro's Hopper1 and Steamliner card without permission and used them himself to destroy the enemies. Houtaro mistook this for callousness, which saddened Kaguya and drove him away. Once again, a talk with Butler later on showed Houtaro that Kaguya was not that kind of person. With this knowledge in mind, Houtaro caught up to Kaguya to say sorry only to find Legend having a rematch with Saigetsu. Reassured by Houtaro's apology, Legend defeated Saigetsu once again.

    The Hundred Superiors deemed Saigetsu a failure and forcibly turned him into the Dooms Clock in order to destory the world. Sensing this and resolving to deal with the threat alone, Kaguya attacked Houtaro to drive him away, not wanting his new friend to be involved. Despite this, Houtaro chose to not be left behind, and joined Kaguya in his mission regardless.

    Legend and Gotchard found Saigetsu - revived and transformed into the Ark-One Malgam by Gigist - standing in their way. The strengthened foe proved to be a challenge for both of them, but Legendary Legend, using the power of Kamen Rider Zero - One and Kamen Rider Zi-O's forms, was able to gain the upper hand. Together, the two vanquished the Ark-One Malgam and destroyed the Dooms Clock, saving Gotchard's world.

    Afterwards, Kaguya returned to his world. He shook hands with Houtaro before departing as an affirmation of their friendship. As he and Butler were leaving, they caught a glimpse of a red Kamen Rider Gotchard fighting and struggling for help.

    Kaguya as Legend returns to Houtaro's world and quickly defeats the Dreatroopers with his Rider kick, causing Hellcrate to retreat. He informs them that the invaders are from an alternate future where Gotchard Daybreak resides. Kaguya said that despite his and Butler's efforts, he can't access that timeline with the Aurora Curtain system.

    However, with the help of Fuga and Kyoka, the alchemists managed to transmute Steamliner into Gigantliner. Houtaro and Rinne proceed to go to the future while Kaguya stays behind to protect the present with Supana and the other alchemists.

    When Hellcrate and the Dreatroopers launch another assault, Kaguya and Supana transformed to fight them. However, during the battle, Kaguya gets knocked out of his transformation. As he attempts to transform again, Dread Type Three slices his card.

    Just then, an Aurora Curtain opens, unleashing a barrage of energy bullets that repel the Dreatroopers. The dimensional wall then transported Kaguya to another area where he encounters his idol, Tsukasa Kadoya, who has saved him once more. Tsukasa hands Kaguya a picture he took of him and commends him for making friends, saying he wishes to see the type of legend that Kaguya will make before departing through an Aurora Curtain which transported Kaguya back to where he was. Feeling inspired by his words, Kaguya transforms into Kamen Rider Legend once again using a new version of the Legend Chemy Card created using Tsukasa's photo of him.

    With the Legend Ride Magnum, he summons Kuuga, Den-O, Double and OOO, who collectively obliterate the Dreatroopers and Dread Type Three with their signature finishing moves.

    Later, Kaguya watched as Kamen Rider Valvarad and the alchemists repel Glion's forces back to the alternate future, destroying Hellcrate, Glion's fortress, and the remaining Dreatroopers. After the wormhole closes, Kaguya returns to his world off-screen, his mission accomplished.

    A few months after Glion's defeat, Kaguya, bathing in jewels, is on a cross-dimensional call with Houtaro using the Legend Kamen Riser. Houtaro updates him on everything that has happened since Kaguya's departure before ending the call early to go to the New Earth.

    Some time later, Kaguya and Houtaro, in their base Rider forms, uses the Aurora Curtain to visit Shoma in his world for the first time. He gave Shoma a gift, the Kuuga Gochizo.

    Kaguya and Houtaro argue for a bit before Shoma, who has now transformed into Gavv, intervenes and gives them some gummies before leaving. Kaguya and Houtaro tries the snacks, exclaiming that it was delicious.

    An extremely confident, borderline narcissistic man, Kaguya lives luxuriously and views himself as a saint-like figure who will guide his world to salvation. As an extension of egotism, he almost never uses personal pronouns, instead speaking of himself in the third person as "Kaguya-sama". He likes to insert English words into his speech, but he especially prefers "Gorgeous", using it as some sort of mantra for his actions.

    According to Butler, Kaguya's actions represent his intent to draw his enemies' attention to him in order to keep all other worlds safe. However because Kaguya is the sole Rider in his world, he in fact feels lonely at times, and uses "gorgeous" as a way to fulfill that void. After meeting Houtaro for the first time, he considered him gorgeous and vowed to see him again.

    In battle, he prefers summoning or transforming into Legend Riders to clear out large numbers of enemy troops.

    Keys: Lucid Dreamer, Bad Luck, Kamen Rider Zeztz, Kamen Rider, Heroes, Male, Riders

    Baku Yorozu (万津 莫, Yorozu Baku) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider Zeztz. He is a special agent working for CODE who transforms into Kamen Rider Zeztz (仮面ライダーゼッツ, Kamen Raidā Zettsu),

    Background

    In his past, Baku Yoruzu had been the victim of several freak accidents throughout grade school and college, yet he miraculously survived every single one of them. At some point after he began job searching, he learned how to lucid dream. To fulfill his "dream" of being a secret agent like the one he admires in his favorite spy films, he began controlling his dreams by making himself one, calling himself "Code Number Seven", an agent of CODE, where his missions were subconsciously supplied by his commander Zero.

    Becoming Zeztz

    One night, Baku dreams of the national celebrity Nem, who was a kidnapped "damsel in distress". After being awoke by his little sister Minami Yorozu, Baku goes to search for a job at a job center but is hit by an unmanned car and hospitalized after attempting to save a young girl from being kidnapped. He is visited at the hospital by his worrying little sister Minami Yorozu, who advises him to keep his "dreaming" to when he sleeps. With a sudden uptick in crimes committed by what the police call the Nightmares, the Gun Nightmare attacks Baku in his dream. Though initially unaware of his dream state, Baku quickly catches on and resumes his previous dream; he dons his "Code Number 7" persona against the monster, but he proved too weak to fight it. After being pulled into his subconscious where he meets Zero face-to-face, he is given the Zeztz Driver and returns to fight the Gun Nightmare as Kamen Rider Zeztz, where he effortlessly defeats the monster and saves Nem.

    Other Events

    Kamen Rider Gavv

    Baku stumbled upon Shoma in the streets and handed him the Zeztz Gochizo which he thought it belonged to the latter. As Shoma attempted to return the Gochizo as he did not recognize it, Baku is abruptly zapped by a UFO. Explaining to Shoma that it is a common occurrence for him whenever he helps people, he shambled off as he told Shoma to "leave everything to him".

    Personality

    In the real world, Baku is an ordinary, good young man. He has a strong desire to help out people in need, however he is extremely unlucky. Ever since he was a kid, whenever he would help out someone, misfortune would befall him despite the immensely unlikely odds. Throughout his life, he fell victim to a lightning strike, a shark attack, being struck by a meteor and getting attacked by a flying saucer. Baku is a big fan of spy movies, with his room being filled with spy-related memoriabilia.

    In his dreams, Baku becomes active as the "invincible agent". He becomes a skillful, suave show-off but still retains his kindness.

    Powers and Abilities

    Abilities

    Lucid Dreaming: Baku is aware of his dreams and is able to control them as he wishes.

    Bilingualism: Aside from his native Japanese, Baku can also speak a fair amount of English, having accumulated the skill from watching spy thriller films ever since he was a child.

14. #14Ultraman Zero

    Keys: Ultra Zero Fight, Ultraman Retsuden, Ultraman Saga, Ultraman Geed, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie, Heroes, Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Deciding Fight! The Belial Galactic Empire, Ultraman, Male, Ultras

    Zero is heroic and fearless, but often hot-headed and cocky. He once attempted to steal the Plasma Spark, which lead to his banishment from the Land of Light. In stark contrast to Belial, Zero managed to see his errors and became humbled through discovering his true heritage and the reason for his exile. While maturing as time goes by, Zero never loses his cocky and hot-headed attitude, but can be serious when the situation calls for it.

    The now experienced Zero takes up a senior role for his junior Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed, a role he shared with his host and partner Leito. While initially shocked by Geed's resemblance to his nemesis Belial as much as everyone else, Zero showed no disdain towards his protégé, relating that they have weird parents and reminded him that only he can control his own fate as long as he has friends to rely on. He also grew to value Leito's family as if they are his own and more than willing to risk his life to protect them from harm.

    Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver (b. October 20, 1979 as Thomas Marshall) is the longest-serving Power Ranger of all time. He started as a transfer student at Angel Grove High School who was brainwashed by Rita Repulsa to become the Green Ranger and fought the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, serving as the central antagonist of the five-part miniseries "Green With Evil". After the Rangers freed him from Rita's spell, Zordon created the White Ranger powers as a replacement for the depletion of the Green Ranger's energy, and the White Ninja Ranger of the Ninja Rangers.

    Later when the team discovered the Zeo Crystal, Tommy was chosen to become Zeo Ranger V - Red of the Zeo Rangers.

    During the events of Power Rangers Turbo, he becomes the first Red Turbo Ranger and leader of the Turbo Rangers; he eventually gave his powers to T.J. Johnson and retired as a Ranger.

    Many years later, Tommy returns in Power Rangers Wild Force, leading a special mission with the Veteran Red Rangers against the remnants of the Machine Empire.

    Years later, Tommy graduated from college, he discovered the Dino Gems and became a teacher at Reefside High School, becoming the Black Dino Ranger and mentor of the Dino Rangers.

    Retroactively, he is also referred to as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger or Green Mighty Morphin Ranger, Mighty Morphin White Ranger or White Mighty Morphin Ranger, as well as Zeo Red Ranger or Red Zeo Ranger, though these are in reference to the show, as opposed to proper labels. He has also been labeled Turbo Red Ranger, as well as the Dino Thunder Black Ranger or Black Dino Thunder Ranger, a variation on his in-show label.

    Tommy also returns in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, leading the Legendary Rangers to help the Mega Rangers fight against the Armada and the remnants of Emperor Mavro's thousands of X Borgs.

    Many years later, after Tommy formed his own family, he returned in Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel along with the other Legendary Rangers, helping the Ninja Steel Rangers against Lord Draven and his army of Robo Rangers.
