Main characters

[edit]

Shouichi Tsugami / Kamen Rider Agito

[edit]

Shouichi Tsugami (津上 翔一, Tsugami Shōichi), age 21, is the series protagonist. He suffers from amnesia and uses the name from a letter found in his possession. Living with the Misugi family, he performs household chores. His Altering (オルタリング, Orutaringu) belt allows transformation into Kamen Rider Agito, a powerful warrior whose abilities evolve with the Wiseman Monolith (ワイズマンモノリス, Waizuman Monorisu). He later discovers his true identity is Tetsuya Sawaki (沢木 哲也, Sawaki Tetsuya). After the Lords' defeat, he opens a restaurant named after his Rider identity. His Honda VTR1000F transforms into the Machine Tornador (マシントルネイダー, Mashin Toruneidā). As Kamen Rider Agito and much like his predecessor Kamen Rider Kuuga, Shouichi is able to assume different forms. In his primary Ground Form (グランドフォーム, Gurando Fōmu) with golden armor, he fights hand-to-hand with a calm, focused technique. In the agile, blue-armored Storm Form (ストームフォーム, Sutōmu Fōmu), he is armed with the Storm Halberd. In the durable, red-armored Flame Form (フレイムフォーム, Fureimu Fōmu), he is armed with the Flame Saber. The hybrid Trinity Form (トリニティフォーム, Toriniti Fōmu) combines Agito's three basic forms, granting him access to the Storm Halberd and Flame Saber weapons simultaneously. When Shouichi learns to channel his fighting spirit, Agito evolves to assume Burning Form (バーニングフォーム, Bāningu Fōmu), which converts Shouichi's fury into power and equips him with the Shining Caliber in the double-bladed Single Mode. When exposed to the light of the sun, Burning Form molts into the evolved Shining Form (シャイニングフォーム, Shainingu Fōmu), which uses the Shining Caliber as twin swords.

Shouichi Tsugami is portrayed by Toshiki Kashu.

Makoto Hikawa / Kamen Rider G3 / Kamen Rider G3-X

[edit]

Makoto Hikawa (氷川 誠, Hikawa Makoto), age 23, is a police officer and hero of the Akatsuki incident. As a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's SAUL (ソール, Sōru, Squad Against Unidentified Lifeforms) unit, he becomes Kamen Rider G3 (仮面ライダーG3ジースリー, Kamen Raidā Jī Surī, Generation 3) using the G3 System originally developed to fight the Gurongi, which the M.P.D. knew as the Unidentified Lifeforms, and modeled after Unidentified Lifeform #4 (a.k.a. Kamen Rider Kuuga). The G3 system features a number of armaments including the GM-01 Scorpion magnum, GG-02 Salamander grenade launcher, GS-03 Destroyer sword, and GA-04 Antoures grappling hook. After some time struggling against the Lords, Sumiko Ozawa develops the upgraded G3-X (G3-Xジースリーエックス, Jī Surī Ekkusu, Generation 3 eXtension) suit, which is more powerful and features an onboard AI system that assists the operator. The G3-X system is armed with the GX-05 Kerberos rotary cannon and the GK-06 Unicorn combat knife. He rides the Guard Chaser (ガードチェイサー, Gādo Cheisā) motorcycle based on the Trychaser 2000 and Beatchaser 2000 motorcycles. He eventually learns Agito's identity and becomes more respectful of Shouichi. After the Overlord incident, he returns to being a normal police officer.

Makoto Hikawa is portrayed by Jun Kaname.

Ryō Ashihara / Kamen Rider Gills

[edit]

Ryō Ashihara (葦原 涼, Ashihara Ryō), age 20, is a former swimmer who can transform into Kamen Rider Gills (仮面ライダーギルス, Kamen Raidā Girusu), a flawed and unstable form of Agito that fights like a feral animal. As Kamen Rider Gills, he rides the Gills Raider (ギルスレイダー, Girusu Reidā) motorcycle. He seeks the truth behind his transformation and his father's suicide. He develops feelings for Aki Sakaki. Because of Gills' flawed nature, Ryō experiences increasing cellular breakdown every time he transforms, but when he is resurrected by Tetsuya Sawaki, his cellular makeup changes to accommodate his transformation. He later receives Koji Majima's Agito power, which grants him the ability to become the evolved Exceed Gills (エクシードギルス, Ekushīdo Girusu). Following the Lords' defeat, he wanders the world.

Ryō Ashihara is portrayed by Yūsuke Tomoi.

Kaoru Kino / Another Agito

[edit]

Kaoru Kino (木野 薫, Kino Kaoru) is a disgraced former surgeon who is able to transform into Another Agito (アナザーアギト, Anazā Agito), an imperfect form of Agito that rides the Dark Hopper (ダークホッパー, Dāku Hoppā)) motorcycle. His brother Masato died in an accident during a snowstorm, with Kino losing his arm in the same event. His brother's arm was grafted on to replace the one he lost, which causes him frequent pain he believes is the spirit of his brother trying to influence him. Another Agito is sometimes referred to as Kamen Rider Another Agito (仮面ライダーアナザーアギト, Kamen Raidā Anazā Agito) to differentiate from the Another Agito that appears in Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Kino later becomes Mido-Rider (ミドライダー, Mido Raidā), the green member of Kamen Sentai Gorider (仮面戦隊ゴライダー, Kamen Sentai Goraidā) during the events of Kamen Sentai Gorider.

Kaoru Kino is portrayed by Takenori Higuchi.
