Ryotaro Nogami

edit

Ryotaro Nogami (野上 良太郎, Nogami Ryōtarō) is an optimistic yet unlucky young man who becomes Kamen Rider Den-O after picking up a Rider Pass (ライダーパス, Raidā Pasu) and being convinced by Hana to help mankind. Over the course of the series, he discovers he is a Singularity Point (特異点, Tokuiten), an individual who can overpower Imagin attempting to possess him, exist outside of time, and is largely immune to timeline changes. Additionally, he forms bonds with Imagin who disagree with their kind's methods and allow him to assume stronger forms.

Ryotaro utilizes the Den-O Belt (デンオウベルト, Den'ō Beruto) in conjunction with a Rider Pass to transform into Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form (プラットフォーム, Puratto Fōmu), which arms him with the DenGasher (デンガッシャー, Dengasshā), a multi-purpose weapon that can be reconfigured into varying forms. Due to his lack of combat prowess and Plat Form's lack of offensive abilities, he initially allows his Imagin partners to possess him and assume combat-oriented forms tailored to their fighting styles. Later in the series, Ryotaro acquires the Climax Cellphone K-Taros (クライマックス携帯 ケータロス, Kuraimakkusu Keitai Kētarosu), which allows him to fuse with all of his Imagin partners to assume Climax Form (クライマックスフォーム, Kuraimakkusu Fōmu), and the DenKamen Sword (デンカメンソード, DenKamen Sōdo), which allows him to channel his Imagin's powers and can combine with a Rider Pass to assume Liner Form (ライナーフォーム, Rainā Fōmu).

During the events of the film Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown, Ryotaro is possessed by the Ghost Imagin, who forces him to use the Yuuki Belt in conjunction with a Rider Pass to transform into Kamen Rider Yuuki Skull Form (スカルフォーム, Sukaru Fōmu). While transformed, he wields the Ghost Imagin's sword and can perform the Terminate Flash (ターミネイトフラッシュ, Tāmineito Furasshu) finisher.

Ryotaro is portrayed by Takeru Satoh (佐藤 健, Satō Takeru).

edit

"Kotaro" (小太郎, Kotarō), as named by Hana, is Ryotaro's 11-year-old self who appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born!. While living with his grandmother, he occasionally snuck out to cope with losing his parents. During one such excursion, he encounters the DenLiner crew amidst their efforts to stop Gaoh and ends up being possessed by Momotaros, who uses him to transform into a smaller version of Kamen Rider Den-O called "Kamen Rider Mini Den-O" (仮面ライダーミニ電王, Kamen Raidā Mini Den'ō) to fight Gaoh's forces due to the present Ryotaro's memory loss voiding their contract. Following the battle, the DenLiner crew take Kotaro to see his parents during his birth before returning him to his proper time period.

edit

As the sole survivor, she vowed revenge on the Imagin and joined the DenLiner's crew to protect the timeline from them. In pursuit of this goal, she convinces Ryotaro to become Kamen Rider Den-O and often serves as an enforcer to keep his Imagin partners in line, though she eventually comes to see them in a better light. As her future is gradually recreated, Hana physically regresses to her childhood self and assumes the alias of Kohana (コハナ), though she stays on the DenLiner and later becomes a member of the DenLiner Police to continue protecting the timeline.

In time, Momotaros becomes the self-proclaimed leader of Ryotaro's additional Imagin partners.

Taking his mission seriously, Sakurai abuses his Imagin partner Deneb and initially sees Ryotaro Nogami as being unfit to be a Kamen Rider because of the latter's desire to protect people and for refusing to use dishonest methods.
