=== Ryotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider {{color|red|D}}{{color|blue|e}}{{color|gold|n}}-{{color|purple|O}} (portrayed by Takeru Satoh and Takuya Mizoguchi) ===
 
The protagonist and eponymous Kamen Rider, Ryotaro is quite possibly [[Cosmic Plaything|the unluckiest being on Earth]] (and a High School drop-out supporting his only other family member, his older sister Airi); every day is [[The Chew Toy|a parade of misfortune for him]]. In the middle of an unusually bad day, he's possessed by a time-travelling monster called an Imagin, meets a strange girl who tells him he's a [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|Singularity Point]], and said girl and Imagin effectively [[Incredibly Lame Pun|rail]][[Railroading|road]] him into becoming Den-O. Even though by his own admission [[The Everyman|he's not exceptionally strong, smart, or brave]], when the chips are down his true strength appears in the form of [[Determinator|unstoppable determination]]. In a way, his horrid luck could be seen as a [[Cursed Withwith Awesome|mixed blessing]], since he's been through so much that it takes a lot to really faze or hurt him. He's also [[The Heart|very good at reading people's emotions and true feelings]]; Ryotaro's ultimate strength may lie in his [[The Messiah|unflappable kindness]]. {{spoiler|His strong feelings towards his friends are the reason for the existence of Den-O's first [[Super Mode]] Climax Form, while the Taros work together to create the second, Liner Form. As well, Ryotaro's bond with the Taros is the reason they continue to exist after the death of Kai.}} As the series went on, he started to develop self-confidence, assertion, strength, and bravery, eventually being able to show himself as an independent person and a worthy hero
 
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As noted above, it takes a lot to rile him {{spoiler|such as the death of Yuto}}, but when it happens, [[Tranquil Fury|you should run]].
Line 77:
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: rescues Kintaros and Urataros in the past, and brings them ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Sieg]]) to the present for the final battle.}}
* [[Genki Girl]]: And ''how''.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Rina Akiyama was also Mana Kazaya, the female lead of ''[[Kamen Rider Agito]]''; she also cameos in ''[[Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'' as an amusement park worker, ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' as a policewoman, and a poster of her appears anachronistically in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]''.
* [[In the Style Of]]: Double-Action Coffee Form, along with Airi = Light Pop. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtLUnjCFfU No, seriously].
* [[Lethal Chef]]: She puts salt, pepper, ''flour'', and '''''wasabi''''' in her coffee. The only people who like it are the Imagin.
Line 103:
=== {{color|red|Momotaros}}DenLinerKamen Rider Den-O Sword Form (voiced by [[Toshihiko Seki]]; suit actor Seiji Takaiwa) ===
 
The first Imagin to possess Ryotaro, he resembles the red oni from the legend of Momotaro, and his abilities (including those as Den-O Sword Form) are drawn from the same story. [[Hot-Blooded]] and hot-headed, Momotaros is [[Blood Knight|always spoiling for a fight]] whether with enemy Imagin or with whomever happens to tick him off at the moment. Initially annoyed when he realized he possessed a Singularity Point, the then-unnamed Imagin sided with Ryotaro when they were attacked by the Bat Imagin on the basis that if Ryotaro died, so did he. After the battle, Ryotaro gave the red oni-esque Imagin the name "Momotaros" after the legend of Momotaro the Peach Boy. While a brash [[Boisterous Bruiser]] might seem at odds with Ryotaro's normal personality, it's his eccentricies like [[Asskicking Pose|posing]], [[In the Name of Thethe Moon|pre-battle speeches]] and [[Calling Your Attacks|calling his attacks]] that makes Den-O resemble more traditional Kamen Riders. Despite his rough attitude, Momotaros is fiercely loyal to his teammates, and seeks to improve Ryotaro by toughening him up and improving his "bad taste".
 
* [[Anime Hair]]: A side effect on people possessed by him.
Line 117:
* [[Character Tics]]: Tends to do bombastic poses, most famously the "Ore, sanjou!" pose which consist of pointing at himself on the ''Ore'', then standing with his arms spread at ''sanjou!''. Also, Blade on the shoulder when he's Den-O.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: in-universe, [[Played for Laughs]].
{{quote| '''Momo''': ''It's Mt. Fuji!''<br />
'''Hana''': ''What are you saying? That's not Mt. Fuji, that's a '''pyramid'''!'' }}
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Twice in the ''Cho Den-O'' series:
** In ''Onigashima Battleship'', while the other Taros were also stranded (in the 30's-40's), they manage to stay together, but Momo, all alone, gets stuck in the distant past, in the very period where the Oni are waging their war against the humans.
** In ''Episode Red'', he gets thrown overboard when the DenLiner was out of control, getting stranded four months before the events of the movie.
* [[Four Is Death]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades]] it when Ryotaro points out that he skipped over number 4 in his [[Calling Your Attacks|attack-calling]]; Momo claims that he did it because it's cool to skip four, then proceeds to count to ten, jumping from three to five.
Line 127:
** ''KingLiner Kick'': A [[Hurricane Kick]]. First used in the fourth movie.
* [[Idiot Hair]]: The strand of red hair when possessing Ryotaro literally stands out.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] through a [[Gilligan Cut]] by ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]''.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: in ''Final Countdown'', to Ryotaro/Yu-ki Skull Form.
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: Either of Momo's catchphrases suffices.
* [[In the Style Of]]: The original Double-Action ([[Fan Nickname|nicknamed]] Sword Form to avoid confusion) = Eurobeat. Climax Jump Sword Form = Hard Rock.
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Ore"
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[The Lancer]]
** [[The Hero]]: Whenever Ryotaro's not around, he tends to act as leader of the Taros.
* [[Large Ham]]
** [[Incoming Ham]]: [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Exactly what his]] [[Catch Phrase]] [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|says.]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Literal Ass-Kicking]]: let's just say that he's fond of doing this to his opponents, whether it involves his actual feet or even his sword.
Line 152:
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Based off the legend of [[wikipedia:Momotaro|Momotaro]].
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
** [[BFS]]: DenLiner
** [[Cool Sword]]: / Sword Mode
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: The whole "Gold Gentleman Coffee" incident; Ura was so weirded out that he prefers the old Momo over the gentlemanly one.
Line 186:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Armed Legs]]: Climax Form's Kick Mode
** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: / Rod Mode
*** [[Epic Flail]]: It also doubles as a fishing rod.
** [[Double Weapon]]: DenRider
Line 208:
* [[Hammerspace]]: He can pull tissues out of thin air, apparently.
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: And narcoleptic to boot; since he's a bear, this presumably represents hibernation. The only way to wake him up is by activating his [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Demonstrated in his [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] two-parter where he puts aside fighting the [[Monster of the Week]] in order to prove to a young girl that she's wrong in thinking her father hates her, and he's willing to be kicked off the DiEnd in order to prove it. {{spoiler|Thankfully, he's right about the father, and the changes Kintaros caused mean the Imagin never became a threat, so Owner let him stay.}}
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: when Owner once said that Kintaros snoring is a problem, Kintaros wakes up just to deny it.
* [[In the Style Of]]: Double-Action Ax Form and Climax Jump Ax Form = Enka.
Line 218:
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Calls Momotaros "Momonoji" (Peach), sometimes mispronouncing it as "Momonga" (Flying Squirrel) or "Momohiki" (Long Underwear); calls Urataros "Kamenoji" (Turtle).
** Note that the -oji suffix actually refers to them as "sir" in the sense of an old man in the same way that Urataros refers to Momotaros as "-sempai".
* [[Noble Demon]]: The only one of the Taros to not start off as a [[Villain Protagonist]].
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Destroying the DenGasher's bathtub, causing Urataros to be swept away. It actually happened in-series, but we never see the details on-screen.
* [[To Be a Master]]: His desire to be the strongest warrior presumably comes from his original contractor Honjo.
Line 247:
* [[Glass Cannon]]
* [[Iconic Item]]: his [[Bubble Gun]]. {{spoiler|Becomes a [[Chekhov's Gun]] when it's one of the items that Kintaros gives to Ryotaro to complete their contract.}}
* [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me]]: Ryuta loves animals, and has a habit of bringing them back to the /. This is actually how the cast is introduced to Sieg.
* [[In the Style Of]]: Double-Action Gun Form and Climax Jump Gun Form = Hip-Hop. Climax Jump Hip-Hop Version. In addition, he also gets to rap in several songs like Climax Jump DenLiner Form.
* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]: Kai told him to kill Ryotaro and gain control of the [[Den Liner]]. Ryutaros decided not to do so due to his love for Airi.
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Boku"
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
Line 280:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Advent! To the top!" <ref>''"Korin! Man wo Jishite!"''</ref>
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Wing Form is Den-O's most powerful basic form, and writers have made sure that his use was a rarity.
** The situation is inverted in ''Ore, Tanjo!'' where Sieg is the only Imagin available for a good portion of the movie<ref>Ura and Kin were held captive, Ryuta was temporarily convinced by Gaoh to his side, and Momo couldn't synchronize with Ryotaro because the latter has amnesia</ref>. Played straight again later, where Sieg is the only Den-O that isn't present in the movie's climax, although no explanation was given for that<ref>since Yuuto could have just kidnapped a Sieg-possessed Ryotaro for the battle</ref> except perhaps being injured after getting hit by Gaoh's Tyrant Clash as Den-O.
* [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: At least, that's what he thinks with Hana, always calling her "Hime-san" (Princess) whenever she appear after she slapped him in the face.
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Royal Smash''
* [[Man in White|Imagin In White]]
Line 289:
* [[It's All About Me]]: "The world revolves for my sake."<ref>''"Sekai ga watashi no tame mawaru."''</ref>
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Watashi"
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Despite his superority complex and belief [[It's All About Me|the world revolves just for him]], he's actually a really good person at heart. The problem is just that the other Imagin don't have any interest with him.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Perpetual Molt]]
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: Especially in Super Climax Form.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Some databooks list his name as '''Z'''ieg.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: In ''Final Countdown'', he disappears during the Imagins' attempt to protect the Japanese village from Shiro's mercenaries, but later reappears for the climax much to everyone's surprise.
* [[The Thing That Would Not Leave]]: For the [[Kamen Rider Decade|Hikari Studio]].
Line 312:
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: More like Sweet Big Sis, actually.
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Her energy drinks and herbal cures are...well, read the "[[Beware the Nice Ones]]" entry above.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: ''Episode Red'' invokes this, since this is the condition of the contract between the Piggies Imagin and the [[Victim of the Week|Victim of the Movie]]: to put Airi in a dangerous situation so that he would be the one to rescue her, also invoking [[Rescue Romance]].
* [[In the Style Of]]: Double-Action Coffee Form, along with Naomi = Light Pop. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtLUnjCFfU No, seriously].
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Inflicted willingly in order to protect the identity and location of the Junction Point.}}
Line 352:
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Tsukkomi to Deneb's Boke.
* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: (A)ltair and (V)ega, which is visible on both their corresponding Zeronos cards, the DenGasher cars, and their [[Finishing Move|Finishing Moves]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Let me say this to start: I'm pr-e-tty strong!" <ref>''"Saisho ni itte oku! Ore wa ka~na~ri tsuyoi!"''</ref>. On a couple of occasions, Yuto replaces the second part with "I'm pretty ticked off!"
** [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: Oftentimes, with Deneb.
* [[Character Tics]]: [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]] ("Let me say this to start! I'm pr-e-tty...") followed by the [[Bicep-Polishing Gesture]] ("...Strong!").
* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|The Zero Form cards.}}
Line 366 ⟶ 365:
** Denebick Buster: ''Buster Nova''
* [[Heroic Willpower]]: While Ryotaro can't manifest any decent Den-O forms by himself (until Liner Form), Yuto's stronger will allows him to assume Zeronos Altair Form without the aid of an Imagin.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Yuichi Nakamura played Kyosuke Kiriya in ''[[Kamen Rider Hibiki]]''. Thankfully, playing Yuto rescued him from the Scrappy heap. He also portrayed [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Lockon Stratos]] in a spread for ''Newtype'' Magazine's [[Cosplay]] offshoot, ''Layers''.
* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: With good reason.
** And, apparently, Sakurai himself has a good reason for giving power with such a drawback in the first place. {{spoiler|Erasing [[Heroic Sacrifice|his (Sakurai's) own existence]] allows Yuto to [[Screw Destiny|write his *own* history]] <ref>in another timeline, anyway</ref>.}}
* [[In the Style Of]]: Action-Zero = Rock. 2010 Version = Soft Piano.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: {{spoiler|Comes with the revelation about the Zeronos Cards, explaining that Yuto acts rude to keep people distant.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Multiform Balance]]: The forms Yuto can assume on his own.
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: {{color|green|Altair}} Form
Line 377 ⟶ 376:
* [[My Hero Zero]]
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: While shopping with Deneb.
{{quote| ''Don't put in shiitake.''}}
* [[Powers Via Possession]]: Unlike Den-O, only one of Zeronos' forms requires Deneb to possess him to access it.
* [[Sixth Ranger|Second Rider]]
Line 384 ⟶ 383:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Yuto really likes his coffee sweet, to the point where he puts '''way''' too much sugar in.
* [[Useful Notes On Japanese Culture]]: Zeronos has a running theme of [[Tanabata]], with Altair Form representing Hikoboshi the cowherd (hence the cow-head /) and Vega Form representing Orihime the weaver (hence the spindle DenLiner). This form also carries over to Yuto and Airi.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[The Archer]]: ZeroLiner's Bowgun Mode
** [[BFS|Big]] [[Cool Sword]]: ZeroGasher Sabre Mode
Line 415 ⟶ 414:
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Boke to Yuto's Tsukkomi.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Usually begins with Yuto's "Let me say this to start!" <ref>''"Saisho ni itte oku!"''</ref>, only to mess it up with an honest fact that bewilders everyone around him; he uses "The face on my chest is just for show" <ref>''"Mune no kao ga kazari da!"''</ref> a couple of times. He also says "Take care of Yuto!"<ref>''"Yuto o yoroshiku!"''</ref> both in conjunction with the first phrase and on its own.
** [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: Sometimes gives the tail-ends of Yuto's phrases.
* [[Chunky Updraft]]: When transforming into Vega Form.
* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Transforms into the Denebick Buster whenever Zeronos assumes Zero Form, and can still talk to Yuto.
Line 430 ⟶ 428:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Because he didn't tell Yuuto of his plans of going through a Haunted House event, Yuuto thought that Deneb was in danger when the latter was scared out of his wits; thus, Yuuto had to use up a Zeronos card even before finding out what really happened. [[What the Hell, Hero?|Yuuto didn't like Deneb's actions one bit.]]
* [[Noble Demon]]
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Yuto/Airi, obviously.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: With Yuto.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: in ''Onigashima Battleship''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' net spinoff episode which advertised the movie.
Line 437 ⟶ 435:
** [[The Archer]]: / Bowgun Mode
** [[BFS|Big]] [[Cool Sword]]: DenLiner Sabre Mode
** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: New ZeroGasher Naginata Mode (New Den-O Vega Form, when he possesses Kotaro in ''Onigashima Battleship'')
** [[More Dakka]]: Zeronos Nova
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]] and [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]: when possessing Yuto, present or past. {{spoiler|The latter referring to "Yu-kun".}}
* [[You Need to Get Laid]]: he once asked Urataros for dating advice to give to Yuto.
 
 
Line 457 ⟶ 455:
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]: Gets progressively more insane and unstable as the series goes on. But after discovering for that Sakurai ''isn't'' the Junction Point as he previously believed, he '''''snaps'''''. He tears apart the black calendar he'd been using to plan his attacks, gives all his remaining Imagin physical form, channels everything he's got left into the Death Imagin for an all-out attack on Tokyo. He then proceeds to try and completely erase the entire area from time despite his army still being present.}}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|arguably, since he's doing all of this for the sake of the Imagins' existence.}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|pulls this on Ryutaros after the latter couldn't bring himself to kill Ryotaro.}} There's a good reason Ryutaros is so scared of him.
----
=== Imagin ===
Line 466 ⟶ 464:
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Most Imagin operate like this; in an early episode, the Crow Imagin interprets its victim's wish to forget her ex-fiance by destroying anything playing "Spring" from the Four Seasons Concerto, since she still owned a pendant he gave her that played the song.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Say your wish. I will grant any wish." <ref>''"Omae no nozomi o ie. Donna nozomi mo kanaete yarou."''</ref>
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]
* [[Dragon-in-Chief]]: both the Albinoleo and the Death Imagin.
** Rather than bring Kai back, they've had the Leo Imagin stand in to represent the Imagin any time the [[Kamen Rider]] evil organizations are gathered, like in ''Let's Go Kamen Riders''.
Line 473 ⟶ 471:
** Bat Imagin (1-2) = Kiyoyuki Tanaka ([[Bleach|Tessai Tsukabishi]])
** Chameleon Imagin (3-4) = [[Junichi Kanemaru]]
** Crust Imagin (5-6) = Kyosei Tsukui ([[ScryedS-Cry-ed|Straight Cougar]]). His contractor Daiki Saito would return to ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' the very next year as Ramon, the human form of [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Kiva's]] retainer Basshaa.
** Yumi Saito, the victim in episodes 7-8, is played by Hitomi Kurihara, who appeared in ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'' as Smart Lady.
** Rhino Imagin (9-10) = Tsuyoshi Koyama ([[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Kamen Rider Odin]] and [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Bang Shishigami]])
** Ivy Imagin (11-12) = Keiichi Sonobe ([[Bobobo-Bo BoboboboBo-bobo|Jelly Jiggler]])
** Owl Imagin (13-14) and Albinoleo Imagin (43-46) = [[Takaya Kuroda]]
** Wolf Imagin (17-18) = [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]
Line 486 ⟶ 484:
** Gecko Imagin (26-27) = [[Kenichi Suzumura]], already in the series as Ryutaros
** Newt Imagin (26-27) = Yasuka Saitoh ([[Go Go Sentai Boukenger|Masumi Inou/Bouken Black]])
** Molech Imagin (27, ''Ore Tanjo!'') = Hidenori Tokuyama ([[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Sou Yaguruma/Kamen Rider KickHopper]] and [[Engine Sentai GoongerGo-onger|Hiroto Suto/Go-on Gold]])
** Bloodsucker Imagin (27-28) = [[Nobuo Tobita]]
** Anthopper Imagin (31-32) = [[Kosuke Toriumi]] (Ari); [[Tomokazu Seki]] (Kirigiris)
** Kraken Imagin (33-34) = [[Tetsu Inada]]
** Mole Imagin (35-36) = Daisuke Kirii ([[Ouran High School Host Club|Mori-senpai]]) (Axe-Hand); Koichi Sakaguchi ([[Final Fantasy X|Cid]]) (Claw-Hand); Akira Sasanuma ([[Gundam Seed|Dearka Elthman]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Link]]) (Drill-Hand)
** Leo Imagin (37-38) = Kazuhiro Yamaji ([[Final Fantasy VII|Cid Highwind]]). ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' fans might also recognize him as [[Kamen Rider Blade|Chief Karasuma]].
** Snail Imagin (39-40) = Nanaho Katsuragi ([[Soul Series|Setsuka]]) (Female); Takashi Irie ([[Kino's Journey (Light Novel)|Shizu]]) (Male)
** Oct Imagin (41-42) = [[Kenjiro Tsuda]]
** Armadillo Imagin (43-44) = [[Wataru Takagi]]
Line 524 ⟶ 522:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Hiroyuki Watanabe was 51 during filming, making him the oldest actor to portray a Kamen Rider.
* [[Cool Sword|Cool]] [[BFS|Big Sword]]: / Sword Mode
* [[Death Byby Genre Savviness]]: doesn't wait for Sword Form to finish charging up his [[Finishing Move]], going in for the kill, {{spoiler|[[Out-Gambitted|except]] that Momo actually anticipated this; at close proximity, Gaoh was left vulnerable to Extreme Slash, Special Version.}}
* [[Finishing Move]]: ''Tyrant Crash'' <ref>Similar to Den-O's Extreme Slash.</ref>
* [[Gang of Hats]]: his Imagin followers are all reptilian.
Line 530 ⟶ 528:
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: His goal is to destroy all time because he's [[For the Evulz|grown bored of it]] and considers it pointless.
* [[No Body Left Behind]]: {{spoiler|After Den-O kills him he's 'consumed by time' and reduced to sand.}}
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: his first henshin in order to fight Zeronos can be described as this.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: He wanted to destroy time itself.
* [[Palette Swap]]: The Gaoh costume is built from a Den-O costume, but it's still pretty distinct...at least until they used '''it''' to build Yuuki from the third movie...
Line 559 ⟶ 557:
The [[Big Bad]] of ''Climax Deka'', Negataros is a rogue Imagin who survived Kai's death and struck out on his own, attempting to found an Evil Organization. In his quest, he recruited human criminals as well as Imagin and [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Fangire]], and eventually drew the GaohLiner Police's notice when he stole Owner's spare Rider Pass. In the final battle, he used the Pass to transform into Nega Den-O, but was taken down by the combined efforts of the DenLiner crew and [[Kamen Rider Kiva]].
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Negataros gets a great deal of expansion in Den-O's S.I.C. Hero Saga story, a text series published in Hobby Japan Magazine. The story, an alternate version of ''Climax Deka'', has Negataros travel to 1971 and join forces with Shocker, the evil organization of the original ''[[Kamen Rider (TV series)|Kamen Rider]]'', which leads Ryotaro and Yuto to pursue and eventually team up with the Showa Kamen Riders.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
* [[Evil Twin]]: Of Momotaros, as well as Den-O Sword Form.
Line 565 ⟶ 563:
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: "Ore-sama"
* [[The Mafia]]: What he wants to be, apparently.
* [[Orcus Onon His Throne]]: Didn't do anything significant, just bragging about his "evil syndicate", at least until the movie's climax.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Almost literally; Negataros is a negative-colored Momotaros, and Nega Den-O is Sword Form painted purple with blue tribal flame-like markings.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Nega DenLiner, with all the modes of the orignal.
** [[Cool Sword]]
** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]
** [[An Axe to Grind]]
** [[Handguns]]
Line 577 ⟶ 575:
=== Kotaro Nogami/Kamen Rider {{color|blue|NEW Den-O}} (portrayed by Dori Sakurada; suit actor Seiji Takaiwa for Final Countdown, Makoto Ito for following films) ===
 
Ryotaro's [[Kid From the Future|Grandkid From The Future]]. He grew up listening to stories of Ryotaro's exploits from Owner, and eventually became the new Den-O along with his partner Imagin Teddy. The smug, arrogant Kotaro looks down on Ryotaro and the Taros, thinking them to be weak fools who could barely get the job done, and stepping in to take over as the protector of the timeline. However, after fighting alongside the younger Ryotaro and his allies, Kotaro gained an honest respect for his grandfather and mellowed out a good deal.
 
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Kotaro is inexplicably blonde in ''Let's Go Kamen Rider''.
Line 584 ⟶ 582:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "My strength is *snaps fingers twice* the real thing.".
* [[Character Tics]]: Snapping his fingers. In ''Final Countdown'', he has Teddy set up a countdown of how long it'll take him to defeat an opponent; as a show of his arrogance it tends to be a low number, always below 30 seconds. The real sign that he's matured is when Teddy asks for a count against Shiro and Kotaro replies "The real battle starts at zero!"
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: His capture is an important part of ''Onigashima Battleship''.
** [[Hostage for McGuffin]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: He dislikes it because apparently in the future it gained the connotation of being a "country" name.
Line 603 ⟶ 601:
*** [[Cool Sword]]: Momotaken (Momotaros in ''Let's Go Kamen Rider'')
** [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Like his Grandpa, Kotaro has his own DenGasher that can be assembled in any mode.
*** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Naginata Mode (Vega Form, when Deneb possesses him in ''Onigashima Battleship'')
*** [[Cool Sword]]: Sword Mode (Strike Form, when Teddy is fighting alongside him)
 
Line 619 ⟶ 617:
* [[Stealth Pun]]: in the anime short before ''Episode Blue'', the Imagin are eating chicken ''tendon'', and they wouldn't understand why Teddy is crying his eyes out just watching them.
* [[Talking Weapon]]: His MacheTeddy form.
* [[Weapon Tombstone]]: {{spoiler|1=in LGKR, Teddie gets killed in the past trying to protect the Rider Scouts from Shocker. The scouts plant his remains, DenLiner, in one of their hideouts, in order for the Riders in the future to find the [[Time Capsule]] buried underneath.}}
 
----
Line 627 ⟶ 625:
 
* [[Affably Evil]]: While Ryotaro is virtually his prisoner, Shiro initially treats him in a civil manner, at least until Ryotaro starts showing signs of breaking free of Shiro's control.
* [[Afterlife Express]]: The Ghost Train, a spectral steam engine with a skull mounted on the face, somewhat reminiscent of ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'''s Doomtrain.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Thanks to the Egyptian-looking collar and other elements, he's sometimes called ''Kamen Rider [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Phara-Oh]]''.
** Because of his skull and crossbones mask and resemblance to Gaoh, he's also sometimes known as Gaoh Pirate Form.
Line 648 ⟶ 646:
* [[City Mouse]]
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]
* [[It Was Withwith You All Along]]: {{spoiler|1=The Kirifuda that the MacheTeddy crew and the Oni had been looking for. He uses it to bargain with Owner in order to ride /.}}
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: His mother died long before the events of the movie and his father is in a foreign country, leaving him in his grandmother's care.
Line 672 ⟶ 670:
* [[Last Villain Stand]]: Momo tries to talk him into abandoning the Onigashima battleship when it's on the brink of destruction, but Goldra refuses, resulting in a final skirmish between the two.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Double Weapon]]
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Like his brother, he tried to hurt Yu but Toki [[Taking the Bullet|took the hit]].

Line 689 ⟶ 687:
A member of the [[Time Police|G-Men]], Kurosaki uses the artificial Imagin Eve to protect the timestream as Kamen Rider G Den-O. He initially appears chasing [[Kamen Rider Decade|Daiki Kaitou/Kamen Rider /]], who was attempting to cause a [[Time Paradox]] by killing his past self, but then he arrests the Taros as well, Eve claiming that their mucking about time with the DenLiner will only cause trouble. While he pursues Kaitou, the / crew tries to sort out the situation and figure out what Kaitou's overall goal is in the incident.
 
* {{spoiler|[[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: his artificial Doberman Pinscher Imagin, Eve, is a [[Knight Templar]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ax Crazy]]: Eve doesn't take Kurosaki's [[Heel Face Turn]] very well...}}
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Eve analysizes the opponent and can give G Den-O a command of where to attack next with great effect and does the same with his ''Perfect Weapon'' to counter finishers. However, this only works if he's facing one attack at once. {{spoiler|When Eve takes over as G Den-O and goes [[Axe Crazy]], he begins doing this on his own.}}
