Eiji Hino

edit

Eiji Hino (火野 映司, Hino Eiji) is a politician's son who grew up in a lavish environment until his life was changed when he attempted to use his fortune to save a small African village, only to accidentally fund a civil war that killed a young girl he befriended. As a result, he renounced his lifestyle and became a wandering vagabond willing to help those in need. Returning to Japan to fund his travels, Eiji takes a part-time job at the Kougami Art Museum, but encounters the Greeed Ankh, who gives him the means to transform into Kamen Rider OOO and convinces him to fight Ankh's fellow Greeed in exchange for Cell Medals. Eiji agrees on the condition that he be allowed to use his Rider powers to help others and later allies himself with the Kougami Foundation amidst his battles with the Greeed.

After falling victim to Kiyoto Maki and the purple Core Medals due to his lack of selfish desires, Eiji slowly becomes a Greeed himself until the Kougami Foundation's head, Kousei Kougami, tells him that the only way to counteract the purple Core Medals is to acquire a desire of his own. Recalling his desire to gain the power to help others, Eiji eventually purges the purple Core Medals from his body, but loses his Rider powers and Ankh after the latter gives his life to help Eiji defeat Maki. Following the battle, Eiji realizes the power he sought comes from those he has bonds with and resumes his travels in the hopes of finding a way to resurrect Ankh.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, Eiji works with the Kougami Foundation as part of his efforts to resurrect Ankh. Eiji later receives help from a revived, future version of Ankh and regains his Rider powers while fighting Kamen Rider Poseidon. In the crossover film Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider, Eiji creates a temporary simulacrum of Ankh via a replica body created by Kaisei Mogami. During the events of the 10th anniversary V-Cinema Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, Eiji sacrifices himself to save a little girl from the First OOO, resurrecting Ankh in the process.

Utilizing three multicolored Core Medals (コアメダル, Koa Medaru) in conjunction with the OOO Driver (オーズドライバー, Ōzu Doraibā) belt and the O-Scanner (オースキャナー, Ō Sukyanā) device, Eiji can transform into Kamen Rider OOO. Regardless of which form he assumes, he also uses the Kougami Foundation's Medajaribur (メダジャリバー, Medajaribā) sword, which allows him to perform the OOO Bash (オーズバッシュ, Ōzu Basshu) finisher, and the Ride Vendor (ライドベンダー, Raido Bendā) motorcycle to combat the Greeed. The Core Medals themselves are coin-like items created by the First OOO's alchemists 800 years prior that draw from different animal characteristics and form the Greeed's core. Using the Core Medals, Eiji can either assume varying Combo (コンボ, Konbo) forms via a specific color-coded set or mix and match Core Medals of differing colors to assume varying Subspecies Forms (亜種形態, Ashu Keitai). In both cases, he can utilize and combine different animal powers in combat and perform Scanning Charge (スキャニングチャージ, Sukyaningu Chāji) finishers.

After being infected with the purple Core Medals, Eiji gains the use of the Medagabryu (メダガブリュー, Medagaburyū, Medal Biting Dragon), which has an Axe Mode (アックスモード, Akkusu Mōdo) for performing the Grand of Rage (グランド・オブ・レイジ, Gurando Obu Reiji) finisher and a Bazooka Mode (バズーカモード, Bazūka Mōdo) for performing the Strain Doom (ストレインドゥーム, Sutorein Dūmu) finisher as well as the ability to destroy non-purple Core Medals. While Eiji initially uses this weapon in his Putotyra Combo, he later gains the ability to wield the Medagabryu in his other Combos as he slowly becomes a Greeed, though only Putotyra Combo can utilize its Bazooka Mode.

Ankh

edit

Ankh (アンク, Anku)[b] is a dishonest bird-themed Greeed who believes he has the right to take whatever he wants, sees people for their flaws, and is at odds with the other Greeed due to being a wild card. As revealed in the Kamen Rider OOO tie-in novel, after the First OOO removed his tenth Core Medal to finalize his creation 800 years before the events of the series, Ankh met a blind girl and created a Yummy to restore her sight out of empathy due to his own dulled senses. However, Ankh regretted his decision after the girl died of fright upon learning that her sight came from people that the Yummy murdered for their eyes. Honoring the girl's last request to protect people, Ankh sided with the First OOO to battle the other Greed until the First OOO betrayed him to steal his Core Medals. After the First OOO was overwhelmed by the Medals' power and sealed the other Greeed, Ankh's right forearm and the Core Medal containing his consciousness were severed from his body, which was sealed separately. As a result, Ankh lost most of his power.

When the Greeed are unsealed in the present, Ankh finds he cannot reform his missing body and steals the other Greeed's Core Medals to handicap them, only to accidentally lose his remaining Taka Medals to Eiji. Ankh intends to regain his other lost Medals and power by enlisting Eiji as the new Kamen Rider OOO, but the latter proves difficult to manipulate, so Ankh reluctantly cooperates with him to save lives on the condition that they gather Cell Medals so Ankh can maintain his form. Along the way, Ankh possesses the body of half-dead Detective Shingo Izumi to blend in with humans, which allows him to fully experience human sensations, but causes him to grow envious of humans. However, Ankh slowly finds himself unable to harm Eiji and his friend Hina Izumi without a substantial reason.

As he regains some of his Core Medals, Ankh discovers what happened to the rest of his body after it develops a mind of its own and turns into Ankh (Lost). They subsequently compete to reabsorb each other under the belief that the weaker one will disappear forever. Ankh (Lost) initially proves victorious, but Eiji uses the purple Core Medals' power to kill him in retaliation for Ankh's apparent death, destroying three of the Greeed's red Core Medals in the process. Despite being able to reconstitute himself, Ankh finds he lost some of his power due to the Core Medals he lost and re-possesses Shingo before seemingly joining Maki and the other Greeed in the hopes of secretly manipulating Eiji into destroying the other Greeed so he can use all of their Core Medals to fully fuse himself with Shingo and become a true conscious being. While carrying out the scheme, he unconditionally gives the other Greeed their Core Medals back, a result of his being spoiled by his experiences with human senses and disgusted with his fellow Greeed.

However, Ankh finds himself unable to kill Eiji due to their history together and his newfound capacity for feeling deeper emotions and betrays Maki, who responds by breaking the Core Medal holding Ankh's consciousness. In spite of this, Ankh accepts his death and gives Eiji his remaining three Core Medals to counteract the latter's purple Core Medals long enough for Eiji to defeat Maki. After aiding him in the fight, Ankh's spirit appears before Eiji to express gratitude to him and others for allowing the former to live and die as a human before giving him and Hina his broken Core Medal.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, a revived future version of Ankh travels back in time to help Eiji defeat Kamen Rider Poseidon. During the events of the V-Cinema Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, Eiji sacrifices himself to fully resurrect Ankh.

In his true form, known as Ankh (Greeed) (アンク(グリード態), Anku (Gurīdo-tai)), Ankh possesses abilities similar to Eiji's Tajadol Combo and can create bird-themed Yummy that attack people to extract an attribute and feed it to their host similarly to how mother birds feed their chicks. While possessing Shingo, Ankh uses his host's iPhone 4 and an iPad to gather information on the current era as well as keep track of who owns which Core Medals before receiving the O Medal Holder (オーメダルホルダー, Ō Medaru Horudā) case from Hina to store Core Medals in.

Ankh is portrayed by Ryosuke Miura (三浦 涼介, Miura Ryōsuke).[5]

Hina Izumi

edit

Hina Izumi (泉 比奈, Izumi Hina) is Shingo's sister who works at the Cous Coussier restaurant and possesses superhuman strength, which she expresses embarrassment towards. Following the Greeed's awakening, Shingo's death, and Ankh possessing him, Eiji initially tries to hide the truth from her before eventually telling her and vowing to save him. Realizing Eiji's reasons for looking after Ankh and Shingo, Hina convinces Eiji to work at Cous Coussier so she can care for her brother's body and use her strength to keep Ankh in line. She also comes to realize that she relies on Eiji's desire to help to an unhealthy degree, takes steps to ensure he does not blindly sacrifice himself for other people's sake, and cares for Ankh as if he were her brother.

Hina Izumi is portrayed by Riho Takada (高田 里穂, Takada Riho).

Kamen Rider Birth

edit

Kamen Rider Birth (仮面ライダーバース, Kamen Raidā Bāsu) is an exoskeletonal suit created by Kiyoto Maki powered by colorless Cell Medals (セルメダル, Seru Medaru) as opposed to OOO's Core Medals. Operators of the Birth System utilize the Birth Driver (バースドライバー, Bāsu Doraibā) belt to transform, wield the Birth Buster (バースバスター, Bāsu Basutā) machine gun, which uses Cell Medals as ammo, and the Birth CLAWs (バース・CLAWs, Bāsu Kurōzu, Cannon/Leg/Arm/Wing System) units, all of which function as Cell Medal magnets. Summoning all six of the Birth CLAWs units at once allows the operator to either access the heavily armed Kamen Rider Birth-Day (仮面ライダーバース・デイ, Kamen Raidā Bāsu Dei) form or combine them to form the scorpion-like CLAWs Sasori (CLAWs・サソリ, Kurōzu Sasori) mecha for combat assistance.

  • Crane Arm (クレーンアーム, Kurēn Āmu): A green-colored unit that equips the user with the Springer Haken (シュプリンガーハーケン, Shupuringā Hāken) gauntlet. This unit first appears in the non-canonical crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core.
  • Breast Cannon (ブレストキャノン, Buresuto Kyanon): A red-colored unit that equips the user with the chest-mounted Salamander Launcher (サラマンダランチャー, Saramanda Ranchā) laser weapon.
  • Drill Arm (ドリルアーム, Doriru Āmu): A blue-colored unit that equips the user with the Brighton Bit (ブライトンビット, Buraiton Bitto) gauntlet.
  • Caterpillar Leg (キャタピラレッグ, Kyatapira Reggu): A purple-colored unit that equips the user with the Haze Crawler (ヘイズクローラー, Heizu Kurōrā) sabatons.
  • Shovel Arm (ショベルアーム, Shoberu Āmu): An orange-colored unit that equips the user with the Vermillion Bucket (バーミリオンバケット, Bāmirion Bakketo) gauntlet.
  • Cutter Wing (カッターウイング, Kattā Uingu): A yellow-colored unit that equips the user with the bladed Solent Edges (ソレントエッジ, Sorento Ejji) jetpack.

Additionally, Maki developed a prototypical version called Kamen Rider Birth Prototype (仮面ライダーバース・プロトタイプ, Kamen Raidā Bāsu Purototaipu), which can only summon the Crane Arm and Breast Cannon units.

Shintaro Goto

edit

Shintaro Goto (後藤 慎太郎, Gotō Shintarō) is a former police officer who works for the Kougami Foundation to keep the world safe from the Greeed and eventually becomes Eiji's friend. Despite initially using the prototype Birth system, Goto eventually succeeds his mentor Akira Date as the current operator of the complete Birth System.

In the web series Birth of Birth X: Prologue and OOO 10th Kamen Rider Birth: Secret Story of the Birth of Birth X and the V-Cinema Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, Goto acquires the Birth Driver X (バースドライバーX, Bāsu Doraibā Ekkusu) belt, a combination of the Birth Driver and the X Unit (Xユニット, Ekkusu Unitto) adapter, which he can use in conjunction with the man-made Ebi, Kani, and Sasori Core Medals to transform into his ultimate form; Kamen Rider Birth X (仮面ライダーバースX, Kamen Raidā Bāsu Ekkusu).

Shintaro Goto is portrayed by Asaya Kimijima (君嶋 麻耶, Kimijima Asaya).

Akira Date

edit

Akira Date (伊達 明, Date Akira) is a young combat medic who prefers getting his job done perfectly rather than enjoying what he does. He initially traveled the world before returning to Japan, where he was hired by the Kougami Foundation to become the first user of the Kamen Rider Birth system with Shintaro Goto as his apprentice.[6] Due to a cranial injury preventing him from using the Birth System for extended periods of time, Date eventually leaves Japan to undergo a life-saving surgery and passes the mantle of Birth to Goto. Following its success, he returns months later and uses the prototype Birth System to assist Goto in his fight against the Greeed.

As of the V-Cinemas Kamen Rider Zi-O: Geiz Majesty and Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, Date acquires a second complete version of the Birth Driver.

Akira Date is portrayed by Hiroaki Iwanaga (岩永 洋昭, Iwanaga Hiroaki).[6]

Recurring characters

edit

Greeed

edit

The Greeed (グリード, Gurīdo)[c] are coin-based, animal-themed homunculi created by the First OOO via the power of 50 Core Medals as part of his plan to achieve godhood 800 years prior to the series. Originally mindless, the Greeed attained sentience after one medal from each of their respective sets was destroyed. However, they lack true life and crave endlessly, cursed with a void in them that can never be filled, possess distorted sensory input (e.g., colors are washed out, taste is nonexistent, sounds are muffled and distorted), and are incapable of feeling deeper emotions such as love. As such, the Greeed became bent on consuming everything around them in a vain attempt at experiencing what humans normally take for granted, only to be sealed by the First OOO after he stole their Core Medals and was overwhelmed by their power.

When the seal is undone in the present, Ankh steals some of his fellow Greeed's Core Medals to handicap them due to his being unable to completely reform his body. In response, the remaining Greeed create Yummy to find Ankh, regain their stolen Core Medals, and gather Cell Medals to maintain their physical forms. Upon realizing how much humanity changed in the intervening years, the Greeed mimic human forms to blend in.

During the events of the V-Cinema anniversary film Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, the Greeed are revived alongside the First OOO, who absorbs them for their power before Goda does so in turn and Ankh kills Goda.[7]

Each Greeed possesses nine Core Medals, which allow them to maintain their powers and armored forms so long as they do not lose them. If they lose all but one, they become unable to maintain their Greeed forms and suffer terrible pain, though Uva is able to maintain his armored head and right forearm.[8] If a Greeed absorbs too many foreign Core Medals at once and lack most or all of their personal nine to counteract them, their body will destabilize from the excess power and transform them into a giant chimeric monster called a Mega Greeed (巨大グリード, Kyodai Gurīdo). If all five Core Medal sets are incorporated into a Greeed's body, they will transform into a Medal Vessel (メダルの器, Medaru no Utsuwa), a giant container that converts all nearby matter into Cell Medals. Moreover, a Greeed's consciousness is contained in one of their corresponding Core Medals. Destruction of this Medal will permanently destroy the Greeed. If their body is destroyed, but the medal containing their consciousness remains, it can act autonomously and possess human bodies.

Uva (ウヴァ)[d] is an insect-themed Greeed and the most hot-headed of his kind who assumes the form of a young man wearing a green leather jacket to blend in with society. Having lost the most Core Medals compared to the other Greeed, Uva is the first to try and find Ankh in the hopes of regaining them. After Kazari kills Gamel and Mezool while in pursuit of his newfound desire to evolve, Uva decides to act on his own and find his own form of evolution. Despite coming into possession of some of Gamel and Mezool's Medals, Uva saves them in favor of seeding people with Kuzu Yummy and using them to produce a massive amount of Cell Medals to drastically increase his power and resurrect the fallen Greeed. He succeeds in both tasks, but Gamel and Mezool betray him and join Kazari and Ankh (Lost) in destroying Uva's body. As the Core Medal containing his consciousness survived, Uva possesses a man named Kusada and uses him to recreate his body before supporting Ankh in his fight against Kazari. Along the way, Uva regains all of his Core Medals, but is mortally wounded by Eiji Hino via the First OOO's Core Medals and overloaded by Kiyoto Maki via the other Greeed's Core Medals. As a result, Uva is forcibly transformed into the Medal Vessel Chaos Form (メダルの器 暴走形態, Medaru no Utsuwa Bōsō Keitai), which Eiji eventually destroys.

In his complete form, Uva has superhuman jumping and can discharge lightning from the claws on his right arm and horns. His insect-themed Yummy pull themselves out of their host's bodies, then either seek out and physically consume the object of their progenitor's desire or carry out an extreme version of the desire before molting into their complete forms in both cases. Additionally, Uva typically remains in contact with the host to some degree and is the only Greeed who chooses to create and command Kuzu Yummy.

Uva is portrayed by Yūsuke Yamada (山田 悠介, Yamada Yūsuke).[9]

Kazari

edit

Kazari (カザリ)[e] is a feline-themed Greeed and an arrogant schemer who assumes the form of a silver-haired young man in a yellow checkered blazer. Having lost the least amount of Core Medals out of all the Greeed, he discovers that a third party is involved in the search for the Medals and breaks off to learn more about them. Along the way, Kazari meets Kiyoto Maki and aligns himself with the scientist to find his missing Core Medals, diverting from the Greeed's original goal of consumption to evolution. This new ideology leads to Kazari using Gamel, Mezool, and Uva as test subjects to experiment with the idea of a Greeed possessing foreign Core Medals. Despite indirectly killing Gamel and Mezool, Kazari deems the experiment a success and absorbs three of Mezool's and two of Gamel's Core Medals to undergo a controlled evolution. Using his new powers, Kazari temporarily regains most of his medals and his complete form.

Following this, Kazari eventually recruits Ankh (Lost) and convinces Maki to leave the Kougami Foundation. Though Uva steals his additional medals and successfully resurrects Gamel and Mezool, Kazari convinces the pair to join him and Maki. After Ankh and Uva join the group however, Kazari eventually regains his Core Medals and rebels against Maki until Eiji uses the purple Core Medals' power to damage the Core Medal holding Kazari's consciousness. Kazari survives the attack, but Maki steals his remaining intact Medals and leaves the Greeed to die for his rebelliousness.

In his complete form, Kazari possesses superhuman speed, aerokinesis, and the ability to use his dreadlocks like tendrils. His feline-themed Yummy are parasitic in nature, possessing the human and forcing them to partake in their desire even at the risk of their lives until they reach their complete form and consume the host. After absorbing Mezool and Gamel's Core Medals, Kazari gains their powers and the ability to create hybrid Yummy.

Kazari is portrayed by Taito Hashimoto (橋本 汰斗, Hashimoto Taito).[9][10]

Gamel

edit

Gamel (ガメル, Gameru)[f] is a heavy mammal-themed Greeed who possesses the mentality of a dimwitted, spoiled child and an affinity towards Mezool. Upon his awakening, he loses four Core Medals to an unknown party and takes on the form of a young man dressed in a grey mesh shirt over a black undershirt. Due to his low intelligence, he is easily manipulated by Kazari into absorbing Mezool and Uva's Core Medals. While they temporarily restore his complete form, Gamel suffers from energy overload until Mezool absorbs him.

Following her transformation into a Mega Greeed and subsequent destruction, Gamel's Core Medals are divided amongst the surviving Greeed until Uva eventually revives him and Mezool. When Kazari and Ankh (Lost) convince Mezool to join their cause, Gamel joins them out of loyalty to her. After Ankh recovers and gives Gamel the rest of his remaining Core Medals and Mezool is killed by Kamen Rider OOO, a grief-stricken Gamel attacks people using his Cell Medal production powers in a futile attempt to resurrect her. However, Kiyoto Maki damages two of Gamel's Core Medals and Shintaro Goto and Akira Date work together to permanently kill Gamel.

In his complete form, Gamel possesses the most physical strength of the Greeed, gauntlet-armored fists, gyrokinesis, can form a trunk from his face, the ability to consume inedible matter, and the ability to turn anything he touches into Cell Medals. Unlike the other Greeed, Gamel uses his own body to create his large animal-themed Yummy upon observing a particular behavior he wants to mimic; satiating his own desires. As a result, the created Yummy are composed of a single Cell Medal.

Gamel is portrayed by Hiroyuki Matsumoto (松本 博之, Matsumoto Hiroyuki).[9][11]

Mezool

edit

Mezool (メズール, Mezūru)[g] is a marine animal-themed Greeed and the only female of the group. She comes off as the kindest member of her kind due in part to her methods being able to provide enough Cell Medals for all of them and serves as a mother figure as her desire is to know and feel true love. Following her awakening, she assumes the form of a teenage girl typically dressed in blue clothing.

After losing most of her remaining Core Medals to Kazari and being attacked by Uva, she discovers Gamel absorbed her Core Medals and absorbs him in turn. However, due to the excess number of foreign Core Medals he previously absorbed and not having enough of her own to counteract the overload, the unstable Mezool temporarily regains her complete form until Maki adds two of Uva's Core Medals and several thousand Cell Medals to turn her into the mindless leviathan-like Mega Greeed Out of Control (巨大グリード暴走態, Kyodai Gurīdo Bōsōtai). She is eventually destroyed by Kamen Riders OOO and Birth, with the Core Medals that contributed to her transformation being divided amongst Ankh, Uva, and Kazari.

After Uva manages to revive her and Gamel, Mezool sides with Kazari, Ankh (Lost), and Gamel to regain her Core Medals until Ankh returns them to her. Spurred on by Kiyoto Maki, she breaks off to achieve her desire by abducting several mother/child pairs and sealing them in her Yummy eggs to drain the love and life from them. However, Eiji Hino uses the purple Core Medals' power to shatter three of her Core Medals, permanently killing her and causing her to die in Gamel's arms.

In her complete form, Mezool has the ability to generate torrents of water from her hands, possesses incredible agility, and can liquefy her body. Her marine animal-themed Yummy, which first become roe-like eggs, feed indirectly off their host's desire while forming a "nest" that incubates over a period of time while the host indulges their desire. Their presence are mostly concealed until the Yummy eggs hatch into their complete forms and are compelled to return to Mezool and break up into many Cell Medals for her and the Greeed to ingest.

Mezool is voiced by Yukana (ゆかな),[9] while her human form is portrayed by Honoka Miki (未来 穂香, Miki Honoka).[12][13]

Ankh (Lost)

edit

Ankh (Lost) (アンク(ロスト), Anku (Rosuto)) is a Greeed that came into being when Ankh transferred the Core Medal containing his consciousness into his right arm before it was disconnected from the rest of his body when he and the other Greeed were sealed. Without Ankh's consciousness, the body entered a state of suspended animation and eventually became a separate being with a child-like mind and the desire to become whole. After Kougami extracts one of his remaining Core Medals, Ankh (Lost) awakens, travels across Japan in search of Ankh, and makes himself known after creating Yummy that act on his desires. Ankh (Lost) later allies himself with Kazari and Maki, replicating the form of young boy to blend in with society while his personality gradually develops into one similar to Ankh's. Combined with tutoring from Kazari and the other Greeed, Ankh (Lost) executes a complex and nearly successful plan to absorb Ankh while his guard is down. Nevertheless, Ankh (Lost) finds that Ankh continues to resist as the latter had secretly given Hina Izumi one of his Core Medals at the last second. In his attempt to complete his victory, Ankh (Lost) is eventually destroyed by Eiji Hino, who uses the purple Core Medals' power to shatter the three Core Medals that cemented his existence.

Compared to the original, Ankh (Lost) retains almost all of Ankh's powers and his bird-themed Yummy share the same attributes as Ankh's. Additionally, his Greeed form resembles that of Ankh's, albeit with an incomplete right side.[14]

Ankh (Lost) is voiced by Miyu Irino (入野 自由, Irino Miyu) while his human form is portrayed by Hikari Tobita (飛田 光里, Tobita Hikari).

Yummy

edit

The Yummy (ヤミー, Yamī)[h] are coin-based monsters that feed on human desire and serve as subordinates to the Greeed, who create them by using Cell Medals on primarily human hosts. While they have different methods for doing so, all Yummy seek to use their host to evolve from their shared mummy-like Shiro Yummy (白ヤミー, Shiro Yamī, White Yummy) forms into their individual complete forms and empower themselves. Being the product of the Greeed that created them, the Yummy will take on characteristics of their creator's Core Medals. As such, if a Greeed possesses multiple types of Core Medals or multiple Greeed use the same host, they can create chimeric hybrid Yummy. If a host's primary desire changes, the Yummy will split off into multiple similar Yummy, with the original pursuing the original desire while the additional Yummy pursue the new desires.

Additionally, Uva produces Shiro Yummy-like Kuzu Yummy (屑ヤミー, Kuzu Yamī, Waste Yummy) by breaking Cell Medals in half. While they are weaker than regular Yummy, Kuzu Yummy are easier to create en masse, harder to destroy with physical attacks, and do not require hosts.

Kougami Foundation

edit

The Kougami Foundation (鴻上ファウンデーション, Kōgami Faundēshon) is a public organization that has been researching the Greeed and the civilization that created them ever since the company acquired the sarcophagus holding them and their Core Medals, which they placed in the Kougami Art Museum's (鴻上美術館, Kōgami Bijutsukan) basement.

Additionally, Kougami is easily excited and becomes incredibly enthusiastic over events related to the OOO/Greeed conflict and the birth of new developments, shouting "wonderful!" (素晴らしい!, subarashii) at things that please him and "happy birthday!" whenever something new happens. In addition, he believes desires are the purest and most powerful energy source in existence and that it plays a major role in the evolution of life on Earth. This belief is so strong, he encourages everyone around him to succumb to their own desires and do whatever they want as long as it does not interfere with his own desires, sees OOO as the means to ensure an unlimited supply of energy, and wishes to have the purple Core Medals destroyed as soon as possible as they represent the opposite of desire.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, it is revealed that Kougami began researching methods for creating new Core Medals that run on desire alone and developed the Poseidon Driver, which he gave to Michal Minato forty years after the series.

First OOO

edit

An unnamed ancient king of a mysterious lost European civilization whose ball of desire (欲望の塊, yokubō no katamari) and god complex led to him becoming the First OOO (先代オーズ, Sendai Ōzu) 800 years ago. In pursuit of godhood, he commissioned Gara and three other alchemists to create the Greeed and their Core Medals so he could hunt them and use their power to subjugate his enemies. Eventually, the king's avarice drove him to unite the Core Medals' power, only for them to overwhelm him and transform his body into a stone coffin that sealed four of the Greeed and Ankh's right arm for centuries. The king's only known descendant, Kousei Kougami, attempts to finish his work in the present through Eiji Hino.

During the events of the V-Cinema anniversary film Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection, the First OOO, referred to as the Ancient OOO (古代オーズ, Kodai Ōzu),[i] is revived alongside the Greeed in the present and plunges the world into chaos and fear.[7] After killing Eiji, the First OOO absorbs the Greeed, but Ankh weakens him enough for the artificial Greeed, Goda, to use Eiji's body and the purple Core Medals to permanently kill the First OOO.

While the First OOO also utilizes the OOO Driver and O-Scanner to transform into Kamen Rider OOO like his successor, he possessed stronger versions of the Taka, Tora, and Batta Core Medals.

The First OOO is voiced by Atsuki Tani (谷 昌樹, Tani Atsuki) in the V-Cinema while Shu Watanabe portrays his civilian appearance in the stage show Final Stage: Putotyra Combo.

Kiyoto Maki

edit

Kiyoto Maki (真木 清人, Maki Kiyoto) is a deadpan, nihilistic scientist who serves as the overseer of the Kougami Foundation's Kougami Biotech Laboratory (鴻上生体研究所, Kōgami Seitai Kenkyūjo) and devised their Medal System. After suffering emotional abuse from his older sister and legal guardian, Hitomi Maki (真木 仁美, Maki Hitomi), and murdering her via arson, Kiyoto came to believe that one's true value is defined by how it ends. However, he repressed the memory and deluded himself into believing Hitomi was a loving sister and that her death was an accident. Also as a result of the incident, Kiyoto struggles with social communication; choosing instead to speak to a doll nicknamed "Kiyo-chan" (キヨちゃん) that he was given sometime prior rather than speak to someone directly. His bond with the doll is so strong, he keeps it on his shoulder or arm, cherishes it as if it were a real person, and will become unable to speak properly and agitated if it is separated from his person.

Despite preferring to study the Greeed, Kiyoto is forced to work on the Kougami Foundation's Core and Cell Medal-related projects to fund his research. His fixation with the Greeed would lead to him working with the Greeed, Kazari, to assist in the latter's experiments with Core Medal-based evolution. However, Kousei Kougami discovers this and threatens Kiyoto into ending his partnership with Kazari, who retaliates by using Kiyoto as the host for the Shachi-Panda Yummy. This would lead to Kiyoto ending up in the care of Chiyoko Shiraishi, whom he previously developed an obsession with due to her resemblance to Hitomi. Her kindness unlocks his repressed memory and causes him to reaffirm his belief that the world should end before he steals the purple Core Medals from Kougami, destroys his laboratory, and fully aligns himself with the Greeed in the hopes of using them to end the world.

To facilitate his goal further, Kiyoto absorbs five of the purple Core Medals to transform himself into the Kyouryu Greeed (恐竜グリード, Kyōryū Gurīdo, Dinosaur Greeed).[15] Over time, he kills Kazari and mortally wounds Gamel and Ankh for their Core Medals before using them and those of Mezool's on Uva to turn him into a Medal Vessel. Leaving Kiyo-chan in Shiraishi's care as he no longer needs the doll, Kiyoto faces Eiji Hino and Ankh in combat. While they defeat him and cause him to collapse into a black hole that engulfed all of the Core Medals, Kiyoto takes delight in his death.

Using the purple Core Medals, Kiyoto can use Cell Medals on inanimate objects that represent the end of a desire, such as broken dreams, to create dinosaur and mythical animal-themed Yummy.

Kiyoto Maki is portrayed by Yuu Kamio (神尾 佑, Kamio Yū) as an adult[16] and Hayato Watanabe (渡辺 隼斗, Watanabe Hayato) as a child.

In battle, Core is powered by Earth's inner core, can burn anything within physical contact, possesses pyrokinesis, and can turn the lower half of his body into a motorcycle.

Kamen Rider Core is voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki (立木 文彦, Tachiki Fumihiko).

Shocker Greeed

edit

The Shocker Greeed (ショッカーグリード, Shokkā Gurīdo) is a Greeed created by the terrorist organization Shocker who appears exclusively in the anniversary film OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders. In the 1970s, the organization obtained a Core Medal and modified it into the Shocker Medal, but were unable to use it in the "primary" timeline. However, Ankh's failed attempt to use Kamen Rider Den-O's DenLiner to travel through time and steal the other Greeed's Core Medals while they were sealed results in Shocker obtaining a Cell Medal that Ankh dropped and combining it with the Shocker Medal to create the Shocker Greeed, who defeats Kamen Riders 1 and 2 in the past and creates an alternate timeline where Shocker conquered the world, with 1 and 2 as their brainwashed enforcers. However, Kamen Rider New Den-O's failed attempt to undo the Shocker Greeed's creation creates a time paradox that leads to 1 and 2 being cured of their brainwashing and eventually destroying the Shocker Greeed in the altered present while the Shocker Medal fades away after the original timeline is restored.

The Shocker Greeed is voiced by Hideo Ishikawa (石川 英郎, Ishikawa Hideo).

Tokugawa Yoshimune

edit

Tokugawa Yoshimune (徳川 吉宗) is the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate who appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals. Due to Gara creating a time distortion that merges part of Yoshimune's version of Edo with the modern day version, Yoshimune works with Kamen Rider OOO to protect the city and later gives him the orange Core Medals, which Yoshimune received from Europe.

Tokugawa Yoshimune is portrayed by Ken Matsudaira (松平 健, Matsudaira Ken), who reprises his role from The Unfettered Shogun. Matsudaira also performs the theme song for Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals alongside Shu Watanabe (as Eiji Hino) and Ryosuke Miura (as Ankh).

Gara

edit

Gara (ガラ) is an androgynous alchemist who was commissioned by the First OOO to create the Core Medals 800 years ago and appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals. Gara intended to use the Core Medals to become the "true OOO" (真のオーズ, Shin no Ōzu), destroy the world, and rule over the remains as the King of the World (世界の王, Sekai no Ō). However, the First OOO killed Gara and his fellow alchemists once they completed the commission, with Gara buried in Thuringia. After Kousei Kougami unearths his tomb, Gara is revived and uses his alchemy to transfer his tower from Thuringia to Japan before capturing Kougami and Erika Satonaka and possessing Satsuki Wakaba (若葉 五月, Wakaba Satsuki). Believing that the world has changed little since his death, Gara takes the Core Medals back and gathers human desire to cause three time distortions in order to bring about a doomsday scenario. Despite this, Kougami tricks Gara into using Eiji, whose infinite desire overloads the machine Gara was using to execute his plans. After Eiji rescues Wakaba, Gara assumes his true Greeed-like Monster Form (怪人態, Kaijintai), only to be defeated by Kamen Riders OOO and Fourze. In response, Gara uses the Core Medals to transmute himself into the Mega Greeed-like Gara Dragon (ガラドラゴン, Gara Doragon), but is destroyed by Kamen Riders OOO and Birth.

Gara and Satsuki Wakaba are both portrayed by Miki Sakai (酒井 美紀, Sakai Miki). As the Gara-possessed Wakaba, Sakai had her voice digitally deepened and altered. In his true form, Gara is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo (大友 龍三郎, Ōtomo Ryūzaburō).

Bells

edit

The Bells (ベル, Beru) are cell-based, Harlequin-like, triplet familiars created by Gara to serve him who appear exclusively in the film Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals

Michal Minato

edit

Michal Minato (湊 ミハル, Minato Miharu) is a young man from the year 2050 who can transform into Kamen Rider Aqua (仮面ライダーアクア, Kamen Raidā Akua) despite ironically suffering from aquaphobia and appears exclusively in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max. While operating as Aqua, he came into contact with the black hole that Kiyoto Maki collapsed into, exposed to the Core Medals Maki absorbed, and possessed by the Greeed-like entity, Kamen Rider Poseidon. Using Minato, Poseidon travels back in time to eliminate all Kamen Riders, only to separate himself from Minato, who goes on to conquer his aquaphobia and defeat Poseidon alongside Kamen Rider OOO, who reclaims the Core Medals that contributed to Poseidon's creation. Following this, Minato gives OOO the Super Core Medals (スーパーコアメダル, Sūpā Koa Medaru) before returning to his time to protect it.

Minato utilizes the Aqua Driver (アクアドライバー, Akua Doraibā) belt in conjunction with the Manas Aqua (マナスアクア, Manasu Akua) liquid to transform into Kamen Rider Aqua. While transformed, he possesses a personal jet ski called the Aqua Miraider (アクアミライダー, Akua Miraidā) and can perform the Oceanic Break (オーシャニックブレイク, Ōshanikku Bureiku) and Aqua Vortex (アクアヴォルテクス, Akua Vorutekusu) finishers.[18][19][20][21]

Michal Minato is portrayed by Atsushi Arai (荒井 敦史, Arai Atsushi).

Kamen Rider Poseidon

edit

Kamen Rider Poseidon (仮面ライダーポセイドン, Kamen Raidā Poseidon) is a Greed-like entity formed from the Core Medals that Michal Minato absorbed who appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max. Possessing Minato, Poseidon received the means to transform into a Kamen Rider from an aged Kousei Kougami before traveling back in time to eliminate all Kamen Riders. However, the Ankh of his time followed him to the past and joined forces with Kamen Rider OOO to separate Poseidon from Minato. Poseidon attempts to travel to another time period, only to be destroyed by Kamen Riders OOO and Aqua while his Core Medals end up in Lem Kannagi's possession.

Poseidon utilizes the Poseidon Driver (ポセイドンドライバー, Poseidon Doraibā) belt in conjunction with the Same (サメ, Shark), Kujira (クジラ, Whale), and Ookamiuo (オオカミウオ, Ōkamiuo, Wolffish) Medals to transform into his Rider form. While transformed, he wields the Deepest Harpoon (ディーペストハープーン, Dīpesuto Hāpūn).

edit

While Aida betrays Zeus to take control of Muchiri and achieve immortality, she is eventually defeated by Kamen Riders OOO, W, and Zero-One.

While being possessed by Aida, Muchiri is voiced by Yukari Tamura (田村 ゆかり, Tamura Yukari), who also voices Ai.

Goda

edit

Goda (ゴーダ, Gōda) is an artificial Greeed created from man-made arthropod-themed Core Medals called Goda Medals (ゴーダメダル, Gōda Medaru) who appears exclusively in the V-Cinema anniversary film Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection.[22] The Kougami Foundation created the Goda Medals using data on Eiji Hino, resulting in Goda inheriting Hino's personality minus his redeeming qualities. Following the real Hino's demise and Ankh's resurrection, Goda possesses the former's body to kill the First OOO and take his power for himself. Despite succeeding in killing the First OOO and using the Core Medals' power to gain a physical form, Goda is killed by Ankh via Hino's body.

While using Hino's body, Goda uses the former's Rider powers until he absorbs the Core Medals' power, which he uses to turn himself into Kamen Rider Goda (仮面ライダーゴーダ, Kamen Raidā Gōda) and separate himself from Hino's body.[7]

Goda is voiced by Satoshi Hino (日野 聡, Hino Satoshi).[22]

World of OOO

edit

The World of OOO (オーズの世界, Ōzu no Sekai) is an alternate universe that the "prime" version of Shintaro Goto accidentally enters while testing the Birth Driver X and appears exclusively in the web series OOO 10th Kamen Rider Birth: Secret Story of the Birth of Birth X. In this universe, Hina Izumi and Chiyoko Shiraishi become Kamen Riders OOO and Birth respectively instead of Eiji Hino, Akira Date, and Goto; Ankh is a scientist who fulfills Kiyoto Maki's role of developing Medal-based Rider systems while remaining an ally to the Riders; the primary Greeed are the Riders' allies instead of enemies, with Uva serving as Hina's partner; and Date is the CEO of the Date Foundation who becomes the Kyouryu Greeed instead of Maki.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ In series, this medal is simply referred to as "Unagi" (ウナギ, Eel).
