Kamenrider Kuuga
Yuusuke Godai/Kamen Rider Kuuga : The young adventurer
who changes into Kuuga. He is a happy-go-lucky and honest person
that fights to protect everyone's smile. Yuusuke and his sister,
Minori, lost their mother while they were both young and their father
when they were older. He was born in Hokkaid? Prefecture on March
18, 1975. His blood type is O.
Kaoru Ichijo:
The police inspector who assists Godai in fighting the Grongi. He
is a model policeman that firmly believes in doing the right thing.
Though he is very strict with himself, he will do everything he
can, even bend police rules, to help Yuusuke fight the Grongi. He
was born in Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture on April 18, 1974. His
blood type is AB.
Sakurako Sawatari: A friend of Godai who translates the ancient
"Lintonese" transcripts that tell of Kuuga and the Grongi.
At first she was against helping because she was worried about Yuusuke,
but now she believes in him fully and works hard to help Yuusuke
understand his powers by deciphering the writings. She was born
in Gunma Prefecture on October 30, 1976. Her blood type is B.
Shuichi Tsubaki:
A trusted friend of Ichijo, he is the doctor that looks after Yuusuke
and treats him when he becomes injured. Though he's a light-hearted
person, he was very serious and worried when talking about Yuusuke's
future transformations because of the constant dangers that surrounded
the Kuuga legend. He also performs the autopsies of the Grongi victims
in order to determine causes of death.
Hikari Enokida :
Another old friend of Ichijo, she is in charge of the Science Division
of the Police Department. She studies the biology of the Grongi
in order to develop effective weapons against them. She also assists
in the study of Kuuga and the Gouram. Because of the massive amount
of work required of her to fight the Grongi, she was away from home
quite often and her child felt alone and neglected.
Jean Michel Sorrel
:
A university student from America that shares the work office with
Sakurako. He researched the broken fragments that later formed into
Gouram. He has a crush on Enokida and hoped to help her reconnect
with her child
.
Minori Godai :
Yuusuke's younger sister who works a teacher at a local daycare.
Yuusuke will occasionally visit her there to entertain the kids.
Like Sakurako, she was at first apprehensive about her brother transforming
into Kuuga, but she believes in Yuusuke and helps out however she
can. She was born in Hokkaid? Prefecture on September 4, 1977. Her
blood type is O.
Tamasaburo Kazari:
He was friends with the father of Yuusuke and Minori, who refer
to him as Oyassan like everyone else. He owns and runs the Pore-Pore
Tea Cafe. He is a goofy, light-hearted character that keeps a scrap
book of all of Kuuga's exploits from the newspaper, though unaware
of Yuusuke being "Number 4" and that the name "Kuuga"
is a some jibberish. He was born on June 9, 1955. His blood type
is A.
Mika Natsume :
The daughter of Proff. Natsume, one of Daguba's victims, she was
greatly depressed when her father's murder was being overlooked
for the Grongi attacks, taking the findings her father had at their
house. But after Yuusuke reasons with her, Mika decides to aid in
the Grongi matter as Jean's assistant.
Nana Asahina :
Tamasaburo's niece, who helps out at the Pore-Pore Tea.
The Grongi Tribe is a mysterious ancient civilization
that can transformed into their monster forms to kill people for
their ruthless game, the first being their rival civilization the
Linto. But Kuuga defeats the leader of the Grongi and seals all
2001 of them away. However, by present day, the newly resurrected
Deguba revives his tribe from their rest and resume their game on
the human race. They are referred by the Police as Unidentified
Lifeforms (also known as "Unidentified Creatures" in a
newspaper during the beginning of episode 5) Mikakunin Seimeitai.
Each of them possess a strange artifact in all of their bodies.
Those seen to assume human form are labeled as "B", each
the human-like Grongis possessing a tattoo that resemble their true
animalistic forms. Unidentified Lifeform #B1 only remains in human
form for the rest of the series. The naming pattern of the Grongi
are "Creature type".
N- Daguba-Zeba is the lord of the Grongi Tribe
responsible for murdering the archaeologists before resurrecting
the Grongis in modern times, labeled "Unidentified Lifeform
0" by the Police. He appears to have killed other Grongi as
well, as not all of them appeared in the series due to their unworthiness
to be in the game. Once he appears physically, Daguba is labeled
as "B13" before being killed by Kuuga Ultimate Form. |

Kamenrider Agito
Agito is the first Kamen Rider series to feature
the three main types of Riders: a mystical Rider (one that draws
power from ancient technology or mystical methods), an organic Rider
(one whose anatomy changes to become a Rider), and a high-technology
Rider (one who is either a cyborg or uses advanced technology to
fight). A man named Shoichi Tsugami seemingly has no memory. He
doesn't know who he is, where he came from, or how he came upon
his peculiar circumstances. Tsugami, seemingly for no reason, transforms
into a powerful superhuman, Agito, whenever in the presence of the
beings referred by the police as the "Unknown", a race
of powerful monsters that have been causing murders around Tokyo,
targeting certain people as their prey. In response, the police
department unleash their newest weapon: the G3 powersuit, originally
developed to fight against the "Unidentified Lifeforms",
the enemies of Kamen Rider Kuuga. G3 and Agito don't know whether
they should join up and defeat the Unknowns, their common enemy,
or to combat each other, keeping the mysteries that entwine them
separate. Ultimately, even more mysteries unfold, with the appearance
of Kamen Rider Gills, who is on a search to uncover why his father
committed suicide. These mysteries and others collide, as the true
nature of Agito would ultimately determine the fate of humanity.
