[edit] Non-organization
[edit] Souji Tendou
User of the Kabuto Zecter, Souji Tendou serves as the main protagonist of the series. Although he is part of ZECT, he does not help the organization and merely uses it for his own needs.
[edit] Juka Tendou
She can be considered Tendou's adopted younger sister, but in truth she seems to be his younger cousin. They were both taken in by their grandmother after the Shibuya meteorite crash. She's really close to her Tendou and tends to act the same way he does; such as talking about her grandmother and pointing to the sky. She was injured in a car crash caused by Kamishiro, but blows it off to her brother's concern. She also assists her brother in running noodle carts across town. She has different ways of saying "Good Morning" to Tendou and loves his cooking. Lately, she has been targeted by ZECT and the Worms. So far two Worms, disguised as Misaki and Daisuke, tried to either kidnap or kill her. She seems to be aware of the Zecters as the Kabuto, TheBee, and Drake Zecters fly around the entire Tendou household, while the Sasword Zecter crawls on the dining table. 13 years old.
[edit] Daisuke Kazama
User of the Drake Zecter, he is a metro-sexual make-up artist who openly befriends women, seeing them as the treasure of life. His partner, a little girl named Gon, always follows him around, completing sentences for him since Daisuke seems to be incompetent at times.
[edit] Gon
Real name: Yuriko Takayama (高山 百合子 Takayama Yuriko?) A girl whom Kazama has accompanied, she seems to have amnesia but at the beginning of episode 17, she slowly remembers time before she met Kazama Daisuke. Gon also pictures her mother Junko (順子), but cannot make out who it is. She always completes Kazama's sentences for him, usually after make-up sessions. She is incredibly mature for her age, often taking initiatives which surprise even Tendou. In the end, after remembering her mother's face on the day that they were attacked at the bus by the same Worm that tried to kill her mother, she was finally reunited with her mother. Drake killed the Worm, and Gon completely remembered her past but unfortunately forgot about Daisuke and treated him as a complete stranger afterwards. However, she regained her memories of being Gon while reading an article on Daisuke in a teen magazine. She also helps Daisuke regain his Drake Zecter from his Worm imitation. She recently discovered the identities of the first five Riders, when they ganged up on Daisuke, who they believed was a worm. In her latest appearance, she has given the Drake Grip to Tendou after stealing it from Daisuke. She returns to help both Daisuke and Rena with the Hopper Riders by spraying them with a fire extinguisher; however, when Rena gains her worm memories, she is attacked by Rena. 8 years old.
[edit] Tsurugi Kamishiro
User of the Sasword Zecter, Kamishiro Tsurugi is actually long dead, and the person living as him is merely Scorpioworm. Scorpioworm is the same worm that murdered him and his sister so many years ago when they were having a picnic in a garden.
[edit] Jiiya
A butler who serves the Kamishiro family, He serves Tsurugi and often acts as a parental figure to him. He remains loyal to Kamishiro despite many of his rude actions. It seems that the Kamishiro wealth is no more, but Jiiya hides this fact from Tsurugi, finding ways to get money such as getting monetary reward for Sasword's killing of Worms, and after that transaction was cancelled, opening a ramen shop (which Tendou decides to take over as he sees Jiiya as too worthy to be doing this). He tells Kagami about Kamishiro's sister and her death at the hands of the Scorpioworm. He has a younger twin brother who keeps the Legendary White Knife. He knows that Scorpioworm is Tsurugi's true form but has chosen not to tell him because Tsurugi, as the last of the famous British Discabil family, must, in one form or another, carry on its name. Jiiya is respected by Tendou who refers to him as "Humanity's Treasure" due to his incredible skill as a chef. He has several students who hold him and high respect, and has published a cook book, which Tendou carries a copy of at all times. 65 years old.
[edit] Yumiko Takemiya
Hiyori and Kagami's boss at Bistro La Salle, she seems to tolerate Hiyori's clumsiness and Kagami's tardiness. She sometimes requests Tendou to be her cook as he is a usual customer. 36 years old.
[edit] ZECT
ZECT is a mysterious organization that seemingly acts in order to destroy Worms. However, they seem to have very secret agenda and connections with Worms. This is shown in episode 41 as the Natives were the ones who originally founded ZECT and created the Masked Rider System to work with humans. The true head counsel of ZECT is a group of Native Worms.
[edit] ZECT Troopers
The foot soldiers of the organization ZECT, they are armed with the Machine Blade Gun, a weapon that draws some concepts from Riderman's Machine Gun Arm and Power Arm. The weapon consists of an automatic machine gun with a retractable blade, which they use for close-quarters combat. In addition, they also carry a grenade launcher-like shotgun as a last resort and means of retreating, also they use flash bombs which disable worms and seem to prevent them from molting. Like the Riotroopers from Kamen Rider 555, they're only Rider-like, acting as cannon fodder for emergencies when a Rider cannot arrive in time. They are transported to the worm hotspots via black, white, or silver HUMVEEs. Unfortunately, as seen in the first episode, they lack any concern for civilians. The special team known as Shadow assists Kamen Rider TheBee. Unlike regular ZECT Troopers, they have yellow pin stripes on their uniforms. Shadow" is able to prevent the Worms from molting, enabling TheBee to kill them. During a training mission, the ZECT Trooper trainees, Bright Troopers, are revealed. They wear white armor instead of the standard black. During episode 41, the AM bomb is revealed, forcing current Worms disguised as humans back into their original forms.
[edit] Riku Kagami
Arata and Ryo's father, Riku Kagami is a high ranked official in ZECT, and most probably the leader. Arata seems to despise him because of Ryo's disappearance, as well as the lack of concern or activity done in order to find Ryo. Arata is also unaware that his father is even part of the organization, ZECT, let alone the leader. A mysterious person who always quotes animal bibles, he is also the chief of police. He is a highly trained fencer and plays the cello. It seems that he has a very secret agenda and would even sacrifice his sons to achieve his goals. Tendou later confronted Riku; the confrontation ended with Riku telling him that Tendou's sister (actually refers to Hiyori, not Juka) was not in good hands, which naturally made Tendou lose his composure, and Riku walked off, joking about Tendou's "walking down the path to heaven to rule over all". His role in the series is still unknown, but it is likely he holds the secrets to the Worms and the Rider System. During the end of episode 36, he displays that he indeed knows about the Hopper Riders, saying they have opened the Gates of Hell. He also says the Rider's grand plan will be completed by our sons, then showing that he did indeed know Tendou's father. He tells Kagami of the secrets behind the Masked Rider System in episode 41, displaying his knowledge of the Natives and how they created the system. 52 years old.
[edit] Arata Kagami
User of the Gatack Zecter and the son of ZECT's leader, Arata Kagami is they only Rider that works for ZECT but also fights for the betterment of humanity. He is unaware of ZECT's true agenda.
[edit] Masato Mishima
Aide of ZECT HQ's leader, Riku Kagami; his role in the series is still unknown. However, he does communicate with Yaguruma and Tadokoro to brief the ZECT teams about the Worms. Recently, he's been upset with Yaguruma botching a mission and Tadokoro has been questioning him about ZECT's agenda. There's implication that he has no faith in Kageyama as TheBee, despite Kageyama being loyal to ZECT and is looked down upon by Kamishiro. He has no sense of taste, and finishes eating by taking a supplement. He forcefully became TheBee at one time despite the TheBee Zecter's attempt of rejecting him. He truly thinks Kageyama is an eyesore because he can only complain and has lost the TheBee Zecter. He also seems to have a connection to Rena Mamiya/Ucaworm and had always kept the Hyper Zecter with him. Renge manages to steal the case with the Hyper Zecter, but Ucaworm takes it back only to find that the case has been rigged with a bomb. Mishima tries to destroy the Hyper Zecter with the bomb. After the explosion, he taunts Tendou for failing to obtain the Hyper Zecter. However, he doesn't realize the power of the Zecter as it manages to finds its way to Tendou, much to his chagrin. He then tosses his glasses to the ground in anger. Age unknown.
[edit] Yuzuki Misaki
A technician and agent for ZECT, she travels with Kagami in the field tracking the movements of the Worms. Later on, she is given the assignment to track Tendou and the stolen Kabuto Zecter. At first she is a "by-the-book" tough as nails character; however, she soon begins to question the actions of ZECT and eventually gains respect for Tendou after he rescues her from the Worms. However, she was still irritated by Tendou when he implies that she and Kagami make a cute couple. She used herself as bait by disguising herself as Phantom Thief Shadow and tended to Kagami when the Gatack Zecter attacked him. She loves buckwheat soba, and can chow down entire ramen bowls in seconds. A worm disguised as her was sent to attack Tendou's sister, but ended up meeting Tsurugi. The Worm reminded Tsurugi of his dead sister, but he ended up destroying the worm. However, because of this, he now has a strong attraction to Misaki. 23 years old.
[edit] Renge Takatori
A trainee of ZECT and Tendou's second in command, she was sent by Mishima in order to spy on and assassinate Tendou. However, she yearns for Tendou as a master after she tasted his delicious cooking. Prior to meeting Tendou, she had eaten nothing but dry boiled rice for the last seven years of her life, considering the concept of taste and deliciousness a sin. Tendou went out of the way to make sure she would be well fed. She was also the person that booted Kageyama out from the ZECT HQ. Afterwards, Mishima orders her to kill Tendou, but she is persuaded by Tendou to forget Mishima and help him steal the Hyper Zecter. She is eventually knocked over the building by the Ucaworm only to be saved by Tendou. Despite her sweet and innocent demeanor, she is a fearsome fighter armed with a wire which can cut through almost anything; however, she is still relatively weak against worms, but tries to fight anyway. Age unknown.
[edit] Renegade Riders
Allied with neither the ZECT or protagonists, these Riders fight for their own agenda and care nothing about the well-being of other humans. It is still unknown where Yaguruma got possession of the Hopper Zecters.
[edit] Sou Yaguruma
User of the Hopper Zecter (Green), he was once part of ZECT but defected after being kicked out of ZECT due to the loss of the TheBee Zecter.
[edit] Shun Kageyama
User of the Hopper Zecter (Red), he was also once part of ZECT but was kicked out also due to the loss of the TheBee Zecter.
[edit] Natives
Most Natives are allied with ZECT, and they know the true secrets behind the Masked Rider System for they were the creators.
[edit] Shuichi Tadokoro
Misaki and Kagami's direct superior in the field, he is a very stern man who commands numerous amounts of ZECT Trooper platoons. It is hinted at that he was once the mentor of the first TheBee, Sou Yaguruma. He was seriously injured when he tried to use the Gatack Zecter in order to save Kagami from being chosen. Despite his appearance, he does care a great deal about his team, especially Kagami and Misaki and will do anything to help them. He has a younger brother who runs the buckwheat-noodle restaurant which was once his father's business. Although he was the better cook, his brother inherited it anyways. After shielding Kagami, it became clear in episode 41 that his true form is a Native Worm. 35 years old.
[edit] Hiyori Kusakabe
She is first shown as a co-worker of Kagami's at the Bistro La Salle. She was involved in the meteor crash seven years ago along with Tendou. Due to the accident, her parents were killed. However, she believes that they were murdered by a person wearing a Rider Belt, but after a period of uncertainty she concludes that Tendou, despite owning the belt, would never do something like that. After seeing Gatack wear another belt and discovering that he was Kagami, she also begins to doubt him. In the end however, she decides to trust both of them as they have helped her so much. She carries as green crystal that originated from Area X, ground zero of the meteor crash. She seems to talk with and read the emotions of inanimate objects, like drawings and machines. She's quite clumsy and tends to zone out while working; resulting in complaints by customers. Through several mishaps and accidents, she was able to discover the identities of all the Riders besides Drake. Later in the series, it is discovered that Hiyori is the child of a Native worm who impersonated her mother down to her pregnancy. The Native then gave birth to Sisyraworm. During episode 33, the energy charge from the Hyper Zecter has sent her along with the Tendou in the iron mask to another time line. The Hyper Zecter then appears, showing one of Hiyori's drawings. She finally appears during episode 38, being lead away by another Souji Tendou, in an alternate dimension. She returns to the real world in episode 43 to defend Dark Kabuto from Hyper Kabuto, stating that she no longer desires to live in the human world.
Ultimately however, after a compelling speech by Tendou saying that she will not be hated in the human world, she abandons the mimic Tendou and returns to the human world. However, she is then attacked by Dark Kabuto. As a human, she is 18 years old.
[edit] Souji Kusakabe
A Worm who uses the Dark Kabuto Zecter, this Worm currently resides with Hiyori in a dimension near the edge of time/space. He is a worm who impersonated Souji Tendou, but was unfortunately captured by ZECT to be used for the Hyper Zecter test. His history still remains unknown.
[edit] Worms
Playing a much larger role than acting as the Monster of the Week, these worms have yet to be destroyed and continue to affect the story.
[edit] Scorpioworm
The alter ego of Tsurugi Kamishiro, Scorpioworm was the Worm who killed both the original Tsurugi and his sister. His purpose within the series is still unknown, and he has received little to no development.
[edit] Rena Mamiya
While not an official member of ZECT, she works alongside Mishima for an uncertain goal. Her true form is Ucaworm, the first crustacean-type Worm. She is a highly powerful Worm of the executives’ level and the strongest worm that has yet to have appeared. A cruel and clever planner, she is the one who ordered a Worm to capture (or kill) Juka. In Worm form, she is very powerful and on her first debut, she defeated both TheBee and Drake. She is also the only Worm to "truly" defeat Tendou and make him involuntarily power down. Soon after, she discovers the existence of the Hyper Zecter and attempts to retrieve it after she shoved Renge off a building. Despite retrieving the suitcase, Mishima sets off a bomb which seemingly destroys the Hyper Zecter. Despite the massive explosion, her worm form was apparently enough to handle and survive the explosion. Her human form is a 25-year-old woman always dressed in black. At episode 39, she was hit by Hyper Kabuto's Hyper Sting finisher, causing amnesia. It was then revealed that in her previous human life, she was a talented singer with a kind heart that wanted to help people. Ultimately, she is destroyed by Kamen Rider Drake (using two Rider Shootings) after she sang her dream.
[edit] Reiji Nogi
His first form is Cassisworm Dimidius and is the boss class of the Worm army. He is dressed in black trench coat and carries a cane which he uses in battle. Possessing uncanny martial art skills, he is powerful enough to take on Kagami and Tendou in his human form, while they are in their Rider forms. In worm form, he has the capability of "Freeze", which is activated by clenching his left fist. Through this, he can completely stop the flow of time to the point in which even the power of Hyper Clock Up is purposeless. During his first debut, he is able to completely neutralize Hyper Kabuto, even with the Perfect Zecter. He then later was defeated by Hyper Kabuto's Maximum Hyper Cyclone, only to return, evolved as Cassisworm Gladius by use of the ability, "Life of Immortality". In this form, he is able to absorb Worms and tachyon energy alike to gain their powers as shown when he absorbs 2 executives and Gatack's Rider Kick. He later absorbs Sasword's Rider Slash, TheBee's Rider Sting, and Gatack's Rider Cutting. This first Nogi is ultimately destroyed by Hyper Kabuto, but it is later shown that there are two other copies of him that are still alive.
