The main cast of Kamen Rider W as seen in the anime adaptation of Fuuto PI
Narumi Detective Office
The Narumi Detective Office (鳴海探偵事務所, Narumi Tantei Jimusho) is a private detective agency that specializes in Dopant activity and was founded by Sokichi Narumi, who was murdered while he and Shotaro were rescuing Philip and named Shotaro his successor.
Kamen Rider W
Kamen Rider W is the eponymous duo of Shotaro Hidari and Philip, who can fuse with each other and transform via the Double Driver (ダブルドライバー, Daburu Doraibā) belts and their own set of purified Gaia Memory (ガイアメモリ, Gaia Memori)USB flash drives.[lower-alpha 1] Their Double Drivers are linked, such that Philip's consciousness is transferred into Shotaro's body along with the former's Gaia Memory. As such, W's ability to function is dependent on the condition of its components, as any physical or mental disruption could affect the Kamen Rider's mobility or cancel the transformation entirely. W also possesses a modified Honda CBR1000RR motorcycle called the Hardboilder (ハードボイルダー, Hādoboirudā) and the mobile garage-like Revolgarry (リボルギャリー, Riborugyarī) truck for converting it into either the Hardturbuler (ハードタービュラー, Hādotābyurā)hovercraft or the Hardsplasher (ハードスプラッシャー, Hādosupurasshā)personal watercraft. Alternatively, the Hardboilder can assume Start Dash Mode (スタートダッシュモード, Sutāto Dasshu Mōdo) for increased speed.
W uses different combinations of two Gaia Memories to access various combinations of powers, weapons, strengths, and weaknesses through Half Changes (ハーフチェンジ, Hāfu Chenji), each of which possess a different Maximum Drive (マキシマムドライブ, Makishimamu Doraibu) finisher for them to destroy a Dopant's Gaia Memory via a Memory Break (メモリブレイク, Memori Bureiku). While they are also capable of performing a Twin Maximum (ツインマキシマム, Tsuin Makishimamu) finisher via both of their active Gaia Memories, doing so proves severely harmful to the body.
Cyclone Joker (サイクロンジョーカー, Saikuron Jōkā): W's green/black-colored default form accessed from the Cyclone and Joker Memories that can imbue their kicks with the element of wind. Their Maximum Drives in this form are the Joker Extreme (ジョーカーエクストリーム, Jōkā Ekustorīmu) via the Joker Memory and the Joker Spiral (ジョーカースパイラル, Jōkā Supairaru) via the Cyclone Memory.[2][lower-alpha 2]
Cyclone Metal (サイクロンメタル, Saikuron Metaru): A green/silver-colored Half Change accessed from the Cyclone and Metal Memories that can use the Metal Shaft to create bladed gusts. W's Maximum Drive in this form is the Metal Twister (メタルツイスター, Metaru Tsuisutā) via the Metal Memory.
Cyclone Trigger (サイクロントリガー, Saikuron Torigā): A green/blue-colored Half Change accessed from the Cyclone and Trigger Memories that can use the Trigger Magnum to shoot compressed air. W's Maximum Drives in this form are the Trigger Aerobuster (トリガーエアロバスター, Torigā Earobasutā) via the Cyclone Memory and the Trigger Storm Bomb (トリガーストームボム, Torigā Sutōmu Bomu) via the Trigger Memory.[2]
Heat Metal (ヒートメタル, Hīto Metaru): W's red/silver-colored auxiliary form accessed from the Heat and Metal Memories that can use the Metal Shaft to create flaming slashes. Their Maximum Drive in this form is the Metal Branding (メタルブランディング, Metaru Burandingu) via the Metal Memory. This form first appears in the film Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.
Heat Joker (ヒートジョーカー, Hīto Jōkā): A red/black-colored Half Change accessed from the Heat and Joker Memories that can imbue W's punches with the element of fire. Their Maximum Drives in this form are the Joker Grenade (ジョーカーグレネイド, Jōkā Gureneido) via the Joker Memory and the Joker Backdraft (ジョーカーバックドラフト, Jōkā Bakkudorafuto) via the Heat Memory.[2] This Half Change first appears in the film Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.
Heat Trigger (ヒートトリガー, Hīto Torigā): A red/blue-colored Half Change accessed from the Heat and Trigger Memories that can use the Trigger Magnum to shoot fireballs. W's Maximum Drive in this form is the Trigger Explosion (トリガーエクスプロージョン, Torigā Ekusupurōjon) via the Trigger Memory.
Luna Trigger (ルナトリガー, Runa Torigā): W's gold/blue-colored auxiliary form accessed from the Luna and Trigger Memories that can use the Trigger Magnum to shoot homing projectiles. Their Maximum Drives in this form are the Trigger Full Burst (トリガーフルバースト, Torigā Furu Bāsuto) via the Trigger Memory and the Trigger Shine Field (トリガーシャインフィールド, Torigā Shain Fīrudo) via the Luna Memory.[2]
Luna Joker (ルナジョーカー, Runa Jōkā): A gold/black-colored Half Change accessed from the Luna and Joker Memories that can stretch W's right limbs to extend their strike range. Their Maximum Drive in this form is the Joker Strange (ジョーカーストレンジ, Jōkā Sutorenji) via the Joker Memory.
Luna Metal (ルナメタル, Runa Metaru): A gold/silver-colored Half Change accessed from the Luna and Metal Memories that can use the Metal Shaft like a whip. W's Maximum Drive in this form is the Metal Illusion (メタルイリュージョン, Metaru Iryūjon) via the Metal Memory.
W also uses Memory Gadgets (メモリガジェット, Memori Gajetto), items powered by artificial Gaia Memories called Pseudo Memories (ギジメモリ, Giji Memori) that change from their device-like Gadget Mode (ガジェットモード, Gajetto Mōdo) to their animal-like Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo) and strengthen W's weapons with the use of a Soul Memory.
Stag Phone (スタッグフォン, Sutaggu Fon): A pair of cellular phones that can switch between Cell Phone Mode (携帯モード, Keitai Mōdo) and Stag Mode (スタッグモード, Sutaggu Mōdo) via the Stag (スタッグ, Sutaggu) Memory. W normally uses a Stag Phone to summon and control the Hardboilder and the Revolgarry, but they can also attach it onto either the Trigger Magnum to perform the Trigger Stag Burst (トリガースタッグバースト, Torigā Sutaggu Bāsuto) Maximum Drive via the Trigger Memory or the Metal Shaft to perform the Metal Stag Breaker (メタルスタッグブレイカー, Metaru Sutaggu Bureikā) Maximum Drive via the Metal Memory. With the Heat Memory, the Stag Phone can perform a weaker, unnamed Maximum Drive that engulfs it in flames to attack targets.
Spider Shock (スパイダーショック, Supaidā Shokku): A G-Shock wrist watch that can switch between Wrist Watch Mode (腕時計モード, Udedokei Mōdo) and Spider Mode (スパイダーモード, Supaidā Mōdo) via the Spider (スパイダー, Supaidā) Memory. It has a grappling hook in Wrist Watch Mode and can also shoot trackers. When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows W to fire a net to capture Dopants. When attached to the Metal Shaft, it allows W to shoot webbed string to restrain Dopants. During the events of the manga sequel Fuuto PI, the Neo Spider (ネオ・スパイダー, Neo Supaidā) Memory is created.
Bat Shot (バットショット, Batto Shotto): A digital camera that can switch between Digicam Mode (デジカメモード, Dejikame Mōdo) and Bat Mode (バットモード, Batto Mōdo) via the Bat (バット, Batto) Memory. A live video feed can be linked to the Stag Phone while in Bat Mode and its flash can disorient others. When attached to the Metal Shaft—a combination that Shotaro dubs the Sonic Shaft (ソニックシャフト, Sonikku Shafuto)—it can emit sonic waves strong enough to shatter solid objects. When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows W to perform the Trigger Bat Shooting (トリガーバットシューティング, Torigā Batto Shūtingu) Maximum Drive via the Trigger Memory. With the Luna Memory, the Bat Shot can perform a weaker, unnamed Maximum Drive that reveals and stuns any hidden targets in its vicinity.
Frog Pod (フロッグポッド, Furoggu Poddo): A speaker that can switch between Speaker Mode (スピーカーモード, Supīkā Mōdo) and Frog Mode (フロッグモード, Furoggu Mōdo) via the Frog (フロッグ, Furoggu) Memory. W primarily uses it for audio recording and analysis via its sound recorder, though it also contains a voice modulator.
Denden Sensor (デンデンセンサー, Denden Sensā): A pair of night vision goggles that can switch between Goggle Mode (ゴーグルモード, Gōguru Mōdo)[lower-alpha 3] and Denden Mode (デンデンモード, Denden Mōdo) via the Denden (デンデン) Memory. Its primary ability is to detect changes in the light spectra and alert its user to targets invisible to the naked eye. It is also used as a surveillance device, being able to store eight terabytes of information in its Pseudo Memory.
The Xtreme (エクストリーム, Ekustorīmu) Memory is a special bird-like Gaia Memory that changes from Live Mode to Memory Mode (メモリモード, Memori Mōdo) for Shotaro and Philip to assume their ultimate form; Cyclone Joker Xtreme (サイクロンジョーカーエクストリーム, Saikuron Jōkā Ekusutorīmu). Being an evolved form of Cyclone Joker, the Xtreme Memory contains a digitized Philip and fully integrates him and Shotaro into a single being for the duration of the form and grants full access to the True Gaia Memory via the Crystal Server (クリスタルサーバー, Kurisutaru Sābā) band. Additionally, Shotaro and Philip wield the Prism Bicker (プリズムビッカー, Purizumu Bikkā), which can separate into the Prism Sword (プリズムソード, Purizumu Sōdo) for neutralizing most Dopants' regenerative abilities and the Bicker Shield (ビッカーシールド, Bikkā Shīrudo) for utilizing the Prism (プリズム, Purizumu) Memory to link the power of four Maximum Drives into one. Their Maximum Drives in this form are the W (Prism) Xtreme (ダブル (プリズム) エクストリーム, Daburu (Purizumu) Ekusutorīmu) on their own and the Prism Break (プリズムブレイク, Purizumu Bureiku), Bicker Charge Break (ビッカーチャージブレイク, Bikkā Chāji Bureiku), and Bicker Finallusion (ビッカーファイナリュージョン, Bikkā Fainaryūjon) via the Prism Bicker. If exposed to strong winds, Shotaro and Philip can transform further into Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme (サイクロンジョーカーゴールドエクストリーム, Saikuron Jōkā Gōrudo Ekusutorīmu) and perform the Golden Xtreme (ゴールデンエクストリーム, Gōruden Ekusutorīmu) Maximum Drive. Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme first appears in the film Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate.
Shotaro Hidari
Shotaro Hidari (左 翔太郎, Hidari Shōtarō) is the man on the streets, a self-proclaimed "extremely hard-boiledprivate eye" who emulates famous pulp fiction private eye characters, dresses himself in 1940s fashion, and possesses a sharp intuition that allows him to occasionally deduce the culprit behind a crime before having Philip provide evidence to confirm his suspicions. Vowing to ensure that no one ever feels sad, Shotaro became a protégé of Fuuto's private investigator Sokichi Narumi after admiring his work as a child. Unlike his mentor, Shotaro was incapable of making tough decisions most of the time due to his kindhearted nature, which is the main reason why many consider him "half-boiled".
Following Sokichi's death and meeting Philip during the "Begins Night" (ビギンズナイト, Biginzu Naito) incident, Shotaro promises to continue in his mentor's stead while becoming a man worthy of wearing Sokichi's white fedora. As such, Shotaro works to stop the Dopant crime wave in Fuuto by providing his body to Kamen Rider W, taking pride in the role and being called a "Kamen Rider" by the citizens. While his body was not meant to handle Gaia Memories as he was never intended to be partnered with Philip, Shotaro adapted to the situation as he eventually becomes worthy of being W and wearing Sokichi's fedora.
As W, Shotaro possesses Gaia Memories with gold tips called Body Memories (ボディメモリ, Bodi Memori), which form the left half of W's body and determine the fighting style in conjunction with Philip's Soul Memories. They are also used in W's Maximum Drive finishers.
Joker (ジョーカー, Jōkā): Grants the user increased agility and hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Additionally, Shotaro can utilize it in conjunction with the Lost Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Joker (仮面ライダージョーカー, Kamen Raidā Jōkā) whenever Philip is unavailable. The latter form first appears in the film Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate.
Metal (メタル, Metaru): Grants the user increased strength and durability. Forms using the Metal Memory arm W with the extendable Metal Shaft (メタルシャフト, Metaru Shafuto)bō.
Trigger (トリガー, Torigā): Grants the user increased accuracy and precision. Forms using the Trigger Memory arm W with the Trigger Magnum (トリガーマグナム, Torigā Magunamu) handgun, which can change from Normal Mode (ノーマルモード, Nōmaru Mōdo) to Maximum Mode (マキシマムモード, Makishimamu Mōdo) when the Trigger Memory is placed into its Maximum Slot (マキシマムスロット, Makishimamu Surotto) in order to fire an elemental-powered Maximum Drive.
Shotaro Hidari is portrayed by Renn Kiriyama in Kamen Rider W and voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in Memory of Heroez and Fuuto PI.[4] As a child, Shotaro is portrayed by Issei Kakazu.
Philip
The mysterious Philip (フィリップ, Firippu) is Shotaro's partner in the detective agency who lost his memory, has a tendency for obsessively focusing on a specific topic of interest, and uses his special abilities to access the Gaia Library to solve Dopant crimes. He was originally Raito Sonozaki (園咲 来人, Sonozaki Raito), the third child and only son of the Sonozaki family who died after falling into the Earth's consciousness, the True Gaia Memory (地球の記憶, Chikyū no Kioku), and revived as an ageless data human. As a result, his father Ryubee considered Raito the "Chosen Child" (運命の子, Unmei no Ko) and had his son's memory erased in order to use him to mass-produce artificial Gaia Memories for the Museum. After being rescued by Shotaro and Sokichi, the latter of whom named Raito after the fictional detective Philip Marlowe, Philip aids Shotaro to atone for willingly aiding his family by remaining in the Narumi Detective Office's secret hangar and investigate Dopant activities through his ability to access the Gaia Library (地球の本棚, Hoshi no Hondana) and its Infinite Archive (無限アーカイブ, Mugen Ākaibu), a metaphysical realm and Akashic records in the form of a white room filled with an endless number of books on an endless number of bookshelves.
Initially a logic-driven sociopath with little common sense who constantly irks all around him, Philip gradually becomes more empathic while slowly learning of his former identity. He is eventually captured and absorbed by his sister Wakana Sonozaki to restore the Museum's hold on the True Gaia Memory. While he is later extracted by Shotaro, this event causes Philip's body to destabilize to the point where he risks breaking up into data and being absorbed by the Earth if he transforms into W again and cancels the transformation. Saving this final transformation to save Wakana and fight Jun Kazu, Philip has Shotaro promise to continue fighting for Fuuto after he is gone and leaves the Lost Driver to Shotaro as a parting gift.
However, after Wakana learns Philip sacrificed his own physical existence to save her, she sacrifices herself in turn to bring back the Xtreme Memory and reconstruct Philip's physical body. Before returning, Philip shares one last moment with his family, who tell him that they will be watching over him. Upon revealing himself a year later, Philip resumes protecting Fuuto with Shotaro.
As W, Philip possesses Gaia Memories with silver tips called Soul Memories (ソウルメモリ, Souru Memori), which transfer his consciousness into Shotaro's body and provides the right half of W's body and elemental powers.
Cyclone (サイクロン, Saikuron): Grants the user aerokinesis and increased speed. Forms using the Cyclone Memory possess the Windy Stabilizer (ウィンディスタビライザー, Windi Sutabiraizā) scarf. During the events of the novel Kamen Rider W: The One Who Continues After Z, Philip utilizes the Cyclone Memory in conjunction with the Lost Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Cyclone (仮面ライダーサイクロン, Kamen Raidā Saikuron).[5]
Luna (ルナ, Runa): Grants the user illusionary powers.
Fang (ファング, Fangu): A special Dromaeosaurid-like Gaia Memory built to protect Philip and act on his orders, able to change from Live Mode to Memory Mode. When Philip uses the Fang Memory, he becomes the main body while Shotaro's consciousness is transferred to him, allowing the former to go out into the field and utilize W's power in case the latter is physically unable to. Originally, the form is treated as a last resort as the transformation is extremely taxing on Philip's frail body and renders him a berserker until Philip is fully revived in the series finale. Forms using the Fang Memory are able to manifest bladed weapons on the body's right half, such as the wrist-mounted Arm Saber (アームセイバー, Āmu Seibā) or the removable Shoulder Saber (ショルダーセイバー, Shorudā Seibā) boomerang. Unlike W's normal Half Changes, the Fang-based Half Changes cannot use their left half's Gaia Memory-based weapons.
Fang Joker (ファングジョーカー, Fangu Jōkā): W's white/black-colored super form accessed from the Fang and Joker Memories that can manifest the ankle-mounted Maximum Saber (マキシマムセイバー, Makishimamu Seibā) to perform the Fang Strizer (ファングストライザー, Fangu Sutoraizā) Maximum Drive. Because of Shotaro's high synchronization with the Joker Memory, it keeps Fang from entering its berserk state as the Gaia Memory itself was initially suited for hand-to-hand combat prior to Philip's full revival in the series finale. This form first appears in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010.
Fang Trigger (ファングトリガー, Fangu Torigā): A white/blue-colored Half Change accessed from the Fang and Trigger Memories that can manifest two Arm Sabers on W's left wrist to serve as a bow, which allows them to fire energy arrows generated from the Fang Memory, while their right half can manifest a claw from their metacarpus, which allows them to fire Fist Needle (フィストニードル, Fisuto Nīdoru) projectiles. Their Maximum Drive in this form is the Fang Screwdle (ファングスクリュードル, Fangu Sukuryūdoru). This Half Change appears exclusively in the manga/anime sequel Fuuto PI.
Fang Metal (ファングメタル, Fangu Metaru): A white/silver-colored Half Change accessed from the Fang and Metal Memories that can manifest Shoulder Sabers on both sides of W's forearms, upper arms, and shoulders. Their Maximum Drive in this form is the Fang Spear Bullet (ファングスピアバレット, Fangu Supia Baretto). This Half Change appears exclusively in the manga/anime sequel Fuuto PI.
Philip is portrayed by Masaki Suda in Kamen Rider W and voiced by Koki Uchiyama in Memory of Heroez and Fuuto PI.[4] As a child, Philip is portrayed by Tomoya Hashimoto.
Akiko Narumi
Akiko Narumi (鳴海 亜樹子, Narumi Akiko) is Shotaro's boss and head of the Narumi Detective Office with a black and white view of the world. Because of her young appearance and attitude, Shotaro refers to her as "Middle School Girl" (女子中学生, Joshi Chūgakusei) and sees her as a threat to his public image. She came to Fuuto from Osaka to find her father Sokichi and reclaim the agency's building, initially unaware that her father had died and was a Kamen Rider until the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010. In addition to being the boss, she serves as a personal assistant while on the job and keeps Shotaro on the right track. Despite her somewhat childish personality, she has shown signs of promise as a detective, particularly in her ability to decipher clues that leave Shotaro, Philip, and Ryu Terui stumped as well as being extremely protective of clients, a trait she shares with her father. Akiko harbors a crush on Terui, but her advances are initially ignored as he maintains a professional demeanor towards her until he eventually gives in to his own feelings for her. Despite this, she is ultimately torn due to unresolved issues with her father until the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core, where she learns Sokichi's full story before her wedding to Terui. During the events of the V-Cinema sequel special Kamen Rider Accel, due to his inability to call her by name, Akiko believes that Terui does not love her, which is worsened further after she sees him on the run with Aoi Katsuragi and believes that he is cheating on her. After she is taken captive by the Commander Dopant and saved by her husband, Akiko learns that Terui truly loves her. Sometime between the events of Fuuto PI and the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser, Akiko gave birth to a daughter named Haruna Terui (照井 春奈, Terui Haruna).
Akiko Narumi is portrayed by Hikaru Yamamoto in Kamen Rider W and voiced by Mikako Komatsu in Fuuto PI.[4] As a child, Akiko is portrayed by Saho Ueda.
Ryu Terui
Ryu Terui (照井 竜, Terui Ryū) is the superintendent appointed to the Fuuto PD's Paranormal Crime Division (超常犯罪捜査課, Chōjō Hanzai Sōsaka), much to the chagrin of Shotaro, Jinno, and Makura. Though he becomes an ally to Shotaro in fighting Dopant crimes as Kamen Rider Accel (仮面ライダーアクセル, Kamen Raidā Akuseru), Terui originally became a Kamen Rider to find his family's murderer, Dr. Shinkuro Isaka. However, it is only after Isaka's death that Terui learns that there is more to the story behind the death of his family. Additionally, Terui comes to develop feelings for Akiko Narumi over the course of the series and eventually goes on to marry her during the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core and have a daughter named Haruna Terui with her in between the events of Fuuto PI and the Kamen Rider Drive V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser.
Utilizing the Accel (アクセル, Akuseru) Memory in conjunction with the Accel Driver (アクセルドライバー, Akuseru Doraibā) belt, Terui can transform into Kamen Rider Accel. While transformed, his Maximum Drive is the Accel Glanzer (アクセルグランツァー, Akuseru Gurantsā). He also wields the Engine Blade (エンジンブレード, Enjin Burēdo) sword, which can be used in conjunction with either the Accel Memory to perform the A-Slasher (エースラッシャー, Ē Surasshā) and Dynamic Ace (ダイナミックエース, Dainamikku Ēsu) Maximum Drives or the artificial Engine (エンジン, Enjin) Memory to utilize Steam (スチーム, Suchīmu), Jet (ジェット, Jetto), and Electric (エレクトリック, Erekutorikku) abilities.
Similarly to W, Terui possesses the Beetle Phone (ビートルフォン, Bītoru Fon) Memory Gadget that can change from Cell Phone Mode to Beetle Mode (ビートルモード, Bītoru Mōdo) via the Beetle (ビートル, Bītoru) Memory and the tank-like Gunner A (ガンナーA, Gan'nā Ē) support robot that can operate on its own via its onboard A.I. and combine with W's Hardboilder to form the Hardgunner (ハードガンナー, Hādo Gan'nā)half-track. When attached to W's Trigger Magnum, the Beetle Phone allows them to perform the Trigger Beetle Blaster (トリガービートルブラスター, Torigā Bītoru Burasutā) Maximum Drive via the Trigger Memory.[2]
Bike Form (バイクフォーム, Baiku Fōmu): A motorcycle-like auxiliary form accessed by removing the Accel Driver's buckle from the belt that can combine with either the Gunner A or any one of the Revolgarry's units. Terui's Maximum Drive in this form is the Bike Engine Dasher (バイクエンジンダッシャー, Baiku Enjin Dasshā) via the Engine Memory.
Accelgunner (アクセルガンナー, Akuserugannā): The half-track-like combination of Accel Bike Form and the Gunner A that is armed with the Gaia Cannon (ガイアキャノン, Gaia Kyanon) and the Gatling Wheel (ガトリングホイール, Gatoringu Hoīru) machine gun. Terui's Maximum Drive in this form is the Gunner Full Break (ガンナーフルブレイク, Gannā Furu Bureiku).
Accelturbuler (アクセルタービュラー, Akuserutābyurā): The hovercraft-like combination of Accel Bike Form and the Revolgarry's Turbuler unit that grants flight capabilities. Terui's Maximum Drive in this form is the Accelturbler Phoenix (アクセルタービュラーフェニックス, Akuserutāburā Fenikkusu) via the Engine Blade.
Kamen Rider Accel Trial (仮面ライダーアクセルトライアル, Kamen Raidā Akuseru Toraiaru): Terui's primary ultimate form accessed from the stopwatch-like Trial (トライアル, Toraiaru) Memory that grants supersonic speed. His Maximum Drives in this form are the Machine Gun Spike (マシンガンスパイク, Mashin Gan Supaiku) on his own and the Machine Gun Slasher (マシンガンスラッシャー, Mashin Gan Surasshā) via the Engine Blade.
Kamen Rider Accel Booster (仮面ライダーアクセルブースター, Kamen Raidā Akuseru Būsutā): Terui's secondary ultimate form accessed from the Accel Memory while combined with the Gaia Memory Enhancing Adapter (ガイアメモリ強化アダプター, Gaia Memori Kyōka Adaputā) that grants additional armor, flight capabilities, and increased mobility. His Maximum Drive in this form is the Boost Slasher (ブーストスラシャー, Būsuto Surasshā) via the Engine Blade. This form first appears in the V-Cinema sequel special Kamen Rider W Returns: Kamen Rider Accel.
Tokime (ときめ), full name Tokime Bando (万灯 時女, Bandō Tokime), is a mysterious, pink-haired amnesiac girl, thief, Yukiji Bando's twin elder sister, and the Joker Dopant (ジョーカー・ドーパント, Jōkā Dōpanto) who possesses supernatural powers, believes herself to be a witch as such, and appears exclusively in the manga sequel Fuuto PI and its subsequent anime adaptation. She was born and raised alongside Bando in a foreign experiment facility, which conducted living-body experiments to create babies with great genes, until Foundation X took them and gave them their current family registers. Initially a suspect for a brutal killing spree before she is proven innocent and a target of the Street crime syndicate, she comes to work for the Narumi Detective Office as an assistant and gradually recovers her memories as a Street assassin codenamed "Witch" before leaving the detective office after regaining access to her Dopant form.
With the Joker Memory and a Gaia Driver Rex, Tokime can transform into the Joker Dopant. While transformed, she can cover herself in a bio-energy aura for protection, solidify it into cards for offensive and defensive purposes, and trap targets inside human-sized cards.
Sokichi Narumi (鳴海 荘吉, Narumi Sōkichi) was Shotaro's mentor and founder of the Narumi Detective Office, referred by Shotaro as "Pops" (おやっさん, Oyassan). Sokichi's policy with investigations was to ensure the client's safety above all else, and unlike Shotaro, he was truly hardboiled in the sense that he would make difficult decisions when he needs to and follow through on them. During flashbacks depicted in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core, Sokichi became involved in Dopant cases and gained the means to become Kamen Rider Skull (仮面ライダースカル, Kamen Raidā Sukaru) from Shroud, an old friend of his. Sokichi accepted a job from Shroud to rescue Philip from the Sonozaki family. During the mission, Sokichi lost his Rider equipment while fighting the Taboo Dopant and sacrificed his Skull Memory to free Philip. After convincing Philip to come with him to decide his own fate and find his own atonement, Sokichi was shot in the back by the Sonozaki family's hired men and dies telling Shotaro to continue in his place and giving him his white fedora.
Utilizing the Skull (スカル, Sukaru) Memory in conjunction with the Lost Driver (ロストドライバー, Rosuto Doraibā) belt, Sokichi could transform into Kamen Rider Skull. While transformed, his Maximum Drive was an unnamed Rider Kick. He also wielded a prototype of the Trigger Magnum called the Skull Magnum (スカルマグナム, Sukaru Magunamu), which could be used in conjunction with the Skull Memory to perform the Skull Punisher (スカルパニッシャー, Sukaru Panisshā) Maximum Drive. His personal vehicles were the Skullboilder (スカルボイルダー, Sukaruboirudā) motorcycle and the Skullgarry (スカルギャリー, Sukarugyarī) high-speed armored transport vehicle, which were expanded and refurbished into the Hardboiler and Revolgarry respectively.
When he first received his Rider powers, Sokichi initially transformed into the incomplete Kamen Rider Skull Crystal (仮面ライダークリスタルスカル, Kamen Raidā Sukaru Kurisutaru). In this form, he could generate energy skulls to attack his enemies.
Sokichi Narumi is portrayed by Koji Kikkawa,[6] who also performs the song "Nobody's Perfect".
Dopants
The Dopants (ドーパント, Dōpanto)[lower-alpha 4] are humans who received Gaia Memories from the Museum. Originally, the Memories were created using Philip's link to the true Gaia Memory by means of the Gaia Library. After Philip was taken however, the Museum resorts to using a shrine located under the Sonozaki manor to create Gaia Memories. From there, the Museum sells them to the highest bidder or to common criminals in order to use them as guinea pigs to study the Gaia Memories as part of the Gaia Impact project. Despite the Museum being disbanded following Ryubee's death, some Gaia Memories fell into the hands of other groups.
The Museum's Gaia Memory dealers employ Living Connector Setting Operation Guns (生体コネクタ設置手術器, Seitai Konekuta Setchi Shujutsuki), or Connect Shooters (コネクトシューター, Konekuto Shūtā), to implant USB-port-like Living Connectors (生体コネクタ, Seitai Konekuta) onto humans' bodies so they can use their Gaia Memories to transform into Dopants. While a human can possess multiple Living Connectors, the resulting Gaia Memory abuse will result in the user's death if their original Gaia Memory is destroyed. Moreover, a human can use Gaia Memories without Living Connectors to transform, though it will result in debilitating side effects.
In the manga sequel Fuuto PI, Gaia Memory users have the potential to reach a level of power called High Dope (ハイドープ, Hai Dōpu) through repeated use of a Gaia Memory that they show a high degree of compatibility with. Upon reaching High Dope, users gain various powers beyond the limits of their Gaia Memories, such as enhancing their Dopant forms and being able to utilize superhuman or psychic powers without transforming into a Dopant.
Sonozaki Family
The Sonozaki Family (園咲家, Sonozaki-ke) is an aristocratic family based in Fuuto who founded the Museum (ミュージアム, Myūjiamu)crime syndicate. When his son Raito died and was reborn as an avatar of the true Gaia Memory, Ryubee used the Museum to produce and distribute the Gaia Memories that Raito created throughout the criminal underworld for experimentation, resulting in the Dopant crime waves. The Museum's ultimate goal is to use the data gathered from the Dopants and Kamen Riders to invoke the Gaia Impact (ガイアインパクト, Gaia Inpakuto), which Ryubee plans to make mankind one with the Earth itself due to his fears of humanity's extinction.
With the exception of Raito and Fumine, each member of the Sonozaki Family owns a special Gaia Memory called a Gold Memory (ゴールドメモリ, Gōrudo Memori), which allows them to assume Dopant forms in conjunction with a prototype Gaia Driver (ガイアドライバー, Gaia Doraibā) belt, which negates the corrupting effects of usual Dopant Gaia Memories at the cost of reduced power. While Ryubee's plan almost succeeds, it results in the family estate burning to the ground, marking the end of both its patriarch and the Museum. In the series finale, Wakana sacrifices herself to revive Raito while the rest of the Sonozaki family become part of the Earth to watch over him, tasking him with the family duty of protecting Fuuto and changing the world for the benefit of mankind.
Ryubee Sonozaki
Ryubee Sonozaki (園咲 琉兵衛, Sonozaki Ryūbee) is a former archaeologist, the seemingly wise and jovial yet maniacal head of the Sonozaki Family, the "godfather" of the Museum syndicate, and curator of the Fuuto Museum who sees Fuuto as his personal kingdom. He sports a commanding presence and can adequately terrify many even without the use of his Terror Memory, which is the main reason why the police leave him alone despite having their suspicions regarding his activities. Due to his obsession with Fuuto and the Museum's machinations, Ryubee refuses to let anyone, including his family nor the deaths of Gaia Memory users, get in the way of his goals.
During his time as an archaeologist, Ryubee found fossil deposits and relics underneath the land his estate would later be built over, bought the grounds, and added the artifacts to the Fuuto Museum's collection. He also eventually discovered the planet's consciousness, later dubbed the Gaia Memory (地球の記憶, Chikyū no Kioku), and brought his family to see it. However, his son Raito died falling into it and was resurrected by the planet's powers. Following this, Ryubee began making preparations for his Gaia Impact to ensure humanity's continued survival by fusing them with the planet itself like Raito had been. Despite Raito being taken by the Narumi Detective Office and Kamen Riders W and Accel threatening his plans, Ryubee uses them to collect more data and improve the Gaia Impact as well as remains confident that he will find Raito again.
To reach his goal, he uses an archaeologist's brush dubbed the "Evil Tail" (イーヴィルテイル, Īviru Teiru), which is inscribed with his family members' names, to overcome the fear that would go along with sacrificing them for the Gaia Impact, though it eventually causes him to go mad. After recovering and sacrificing Raito to the Gaia Memory once more to fuse his daughter Wakana with the Earth, Ryubee is confronted by W and Accel, who join forces to defeat him, rescue Raito, and destroy his Terror Memory, along with most of the Sonozaki estate. Due to his mind having been broken over the years, Ryubee dances in the burning ruins of his house, ecstatic that he succeeded in initiating his Gaia Impact before subsequently dying in the blaze while recalling the good times he had with his family and holding no regrets about his life.
With the Terror Memory and a Gaia Driver, Ryubee can transform into the Terror Dopant (テラー・ドーパント, Terā Dōpanto). While transformed, he can increase victims' fear to maddening levels, summon the Terror Field (テラーフィールド, Terā Fīrudo) to burn his victims or teleport himself and others across long distances, and project his power into the Terror Crown (テラークラウン, Terā Kuraun) to create a Barong-like familiar called the Terror Dragon (テラードラゴン, Terā Doragon).[7][8]
Saeko Sonozaki (園咲 冴子, Sonozaki Saeko) is the eldest of the Sonozaki children who runs an IT company called the Digal Corporation (ディガル・コーポレーション, Digaru Kōporēshon), which serves as a front for Gaia Memory production and distribution. Ryubee strictly raised Saeko to believe that their family is superior to all others and that they are destined to rule the world. This loveless upbringing caused her to grow up secretly hating her father, often taking the resulting rage out on her younger sister Wakana, and serves as fuel for her desire to take over the Museum to prove herself as its ideal successor. Saeko also has a tendency to kill her boyfriends if they do not live up to her expectations. When she spares Kirihiko due to his capabilities, she marries him and lets him live until he threatens the Museum's livelihood, having never truly loved him in the first place.
Following this, Saeko begins to visit Shinkuro Isaka to improve her Dopant form and focus on her plans for the Museum, growing to care for him in the process. When her coup against Ryubee fails and Isaka is killed, Saeko goes on the run, only to be hunted down by the Smilodon Dopant, who takes her Taboo Memory and leaves her for dead. However, Saeko is saved by Jun Kazu, who offers his support in her scheme to take control of the Museum.
Discarding her Gaia Driver, she obtains the Nasca Memory and uses an L.C.O.G. on herself to become the R Nasca Dopant (Rナスカ・ドーパント, Āru Nasuka Dōpanto)[lower-alpha 5] so she can defeat Wakana. However, Wakana evolves into Claydoll Xtreme and overpowers Saeko, forcing her to find other methods for acquiring power until the Nasca Memory is destroyed during another confrontation with Wakana. Following Ryubee's death and the Sonozaki manor's destruction, a disillusioned Saeko learns Wakana was taken by Foundation X and regains the Taboo Memory from Kazu, who names Saeko the new head of the Museum. No longer needing to prove herself superior to her father, Saeko fights Kazu to save Wakana, sacrificing herself in the process.
With the Taboo Memory and a Gaia Driver, Saeko can transform into the Taboo Dopant (タブー・ドーパント, Tabū Dōpanto), gaining flight capabilities and the ability to generate deadly plasma balls. As the R Nasca Dopant, she possesses similar abilities as the original Nasca Dopant, though her strength and speed are much stronger.
Wakana Sonozaki (園咲 若菜, Sonozaki Wakana) is the youngest daughter and middle child of the Sonozaki family who, since her brother's death and disappearance, has been secretly raised to become the key element in Ryubee's plans. Working as a DJ at the local Wind Wave (ウインドウェーブ, Uindo Wēbu) radio station, she hosts the Wakana's Healing Princess (園咲若菜のヒーリングプリンセス, Sonozaki Wakana no Hīringu Purinsesu) show and gained a loyal fan base as a result. While she puts up a shy and kind persona on the show or whenever a crowd is around, her true personality is the complete opposite. Out of all of the members of the Sonozaki Family, she is the least involved with the Gaia Memory business as she was doted upon while growing up. After encountering Philip, Wakana begins to have second thoughts about being a Dopant and discards her Claydoll Memory. However, Ryubee returns it to her and eventually brings her into the family business by using her as a guinea pig for testing the Xtreme Memory's effects on the true Gaia Memory.
After trying to run away with Philip, Ryubee takes Wakana to the Museum's true base of operations and convinces her that she is serving a greater good for the planet's sake. Wakana takes over control of the Museum and the Digal Corporation, bent on bringing Philip back to the Museum to complete the Gaia Impact and taking on aspects of Saeko's personality coupled with a ruthless and unforgiving streak. Prior to and during the Gaia Impact, she becomes a living Gaia Memory, fully integrating herself with the planet's vast knowledge and her Claydoll Memory. However, she loses control after Philip is removed from the True Gaia Memory, causing an explosion that destroys the Sonozaki estate. Wakana is presumed dead, but she is secretly carried out by Jun Kazu, who seeks to use her for Foundation X's purposes until Shotaro Hidari rescues her and takes her to the hospital. Days later, Wakana attempts to force her way out to resume her family's goals, only to learn Philip disappeared into the True Gaia Memory to save her. After acquiring the means to invoke the Gaia Impact from Shroud, Wakana sacrifices her own existence to bring her brother back via the Xtreme Memory.
With the Claydoll Memory and a Gaia Driver, Wakana is able to transform into the Claydoll Dopant (クレイドール・ドーパント, Kureidōru Dōpanto), granting her the ability to produce gravitational energy shots and reform her Dopant body if it gets shattered. After being given the Gaia Progressor (ガイアプログレッサー, Gaia Puroguressā), a device based on the Xtreme Memory, Wakana's Dopant form is evolved into the godlike Claydoll Xtreme (クレイドールエクストリーム, Kureidōru Ekusutorīmu), which grants the use of tendrils, exponentially enhanced power, and access to the True Gaia Memory's power.

While working for the Museum, he eventually catches Saeko's eye and they get married, with Kirihiko taking on her family's name. Now a member of the Sonozaki family, he receives the Nasca Memory, but is initially unaware of the truth of his in-laws' true motives nor of Kamen Rider W's existence until Kirihiko confronts the latter in battle. Seeing W as a rival, Kirihiko uses him to upgrade his Gaia Memory until he discovers the truth of the Gaia Memories while suffering from his Memory's near-fatal side effects. He attempts to take Saeko away from the Museum, but she kills him to prevent him from compromising her plans and takes the Nasca Memory, which she eventually uses for herself until Wakana destroys it. His sister, Yukie Sudo, would later go on to seek revenge for Kirihiko via her own Dopant powers before the former suffers from her own Gaia Memory's negative side effects.
With the Nasca Memory and a Gaia Driver, Kirihiko can transform into the Nasca Dopant (ナスカ・ドーパント, Nasuka Dōpanto). In this form, he becomes an expert swordsman armed with the Nasca Blade (ナスカブレード, Nasuka Burēdo) and can fly via the Nasca Wings (ナスカウイング, Nasuka Uingu).

Shinkuro Isaka (井坂 深紅郎, Isaka Shinkurō) is the head physician of the Isaka Medical Clinic (井坂内科医院, Isaka Naika Iin). Ten years ago, he found no meaning in his life until he encountered Ryubee Sonozaki attacking a group of people as the Terror Dopant. This brought a maddening joy to the doctor as he vowed to steal the Terror Memory and experimented on himself with numerous Gaia Memories and Living Connectors before Shroud gave him a Silver Memory (シルバーメモリ, Shirubā Memori) called the Weather Memory in the hopes that he would be powerful enough to eliminate Ryubee. Using his newfound powers, Isaka committed a series of murders, which included Kamen Rider Accel's family, before becoming an ally to the Museum.
Following a failed attempt to add the Invisible Memory to his arsenal, Isaka's identity is exposed and he is forced to take refuge in the Sonozaki estate, where he convinces Saeko to act on her desire to take over the Museum so he can get the Terror Memory. Initially seeing her as a pawn for his research, he slowly comes to develop feelings for her. While attempting to absorb the Quetzalcoatlus Memory, Isaka is defeated by Kamen Rider Accel and loses his Weather Memory. Shortly afterward, Isaka's experiments catch up to him and cause him to dissolve into nothingness.

While transformed, he is armed with the whip-like Weather Mine (ウェザーマイン, Wezā Main) and can control various weather patterns, such as intense sunlight, heavy rain, lightning, tornadoes, and freezing snow.
