He gets over it when Takeru deduces that he feels the same way, and reaffirms that he connects with the feelings of others]].

* TheSpock: [[spoiler: Somewhat {{Subverted}}. While she does believe heavily in logic and science, she's also rather emotional. When met with her EvilCounterpart on the Gamma's side, Igor, she quickly comes to hate him for his cold, callous, and purely logical approach to science.]]

* GoneMadFromTheRevelation: After findind out [[spoiler: his true origin]] in Specter Re:birth. Saying that he didn't take it well would be a major understatement.

!!! Portrayed by: Shun Nishime (live), Seiji Takaiwa (suit)

10 years after the death of his father, on his 18th birthday, he received a package sent by his father not long before his untimely death. Inside was a Ghost Eyecon, a mysterious, eye-shaped artifact. This lead to an attack by Gamma - monsters from another dimension - on the temple. Takeru is killed by the Gamma while protecting his friend, Akari and Onari, his caretaker. Soon after, he was resurrected as a ghost by a mysterious hermit and given the Ghost Driver, which allowed him to use the Eyecon to fight as Kamen Rider Ghost. However, it wasn't a perfect resurrection - Takeru only has 99 days before he disappears permanently. In order to revive himself, he must collect the 15 Ghost Eyecons within 99 days.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: After the many, many things he went through, he finally got his wish to be revived as an ordinary human being.]]

* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler: When told by The Great Eye that he has become a existence surpassing that of a human being and thus, no longer need to be revived, Takeru replies that he prefers to be a normal human that can enjoy the simple joys of life with his loved ones.]]

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: While perhaps a bit lesser in scope of power compare to [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Overlord Kouta]], by the end of the series Takeru is still one of the most powerful being in the series. He is the only one capable of permanently killing the Gammaizer and actually defeated The Great Eyezer, who is the combination of two extremely powerful PhysicalGod entities, single-handedly. The Great Eye itself explained that Takeru has already evolved into an immortal entity infused with countless souls similar to The Great Eye. If not for the fact that Takeru wishes to be a normal human again, there's no denying that he could eventually develop into an entity as powerful as, if not more powerful, than The Great Eye.]]

* YouKilledMyFather: How Takeru reacts after finding out that[[spoiler:Adel killed his father.]]

* FlatEarthAtheist: Holy guacamole, does she hold onto this trope. She seems to be growing out of it after episode 3 though, having [[spoiler: met Sage and developed the Shiranui Spray that makes ghosts and Gamma visible.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: She is this. [[spoiler: With a little help from Sage, she created the Shiranui Spray that can make the Gamma visible to normal people, as well as modifying a leaf blower to dispense it.]] This has only escalated in the following episodes, with her building Anti-Gamma weaponry, researching the Gamma Eyecons and [[spoiler: a live Gamma]], and trying to discover how Gamma Portals are formed, all to varying levels of success.

* AGodIAmNot: When Takeru meets him after dying, he asks if he's God. He denies it, but doesn't specify what he actually ''is'', either. [[spoiler: He's actually Magistrate Eadith, a high-ranking Gamma who was friends with Adonis.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: He clearly seems to regret creating the Gammaizers and the life supports system that caused his people's own life force to stagnant and worse, it does the opposite (placing them in a slow and painless deaths).]]
* NoNameGiven: Takeru calls him "Ot-chan" ("Uncle"), which one fansub renders as "Gramps". Other names used by fans include "Sennin", "the Hermit" and "the Sage". [[spoiler: This is because he's actually Magistrate Eadith.]]

While the Hermit explains how ghosts work and the like, Yurusen is the one who instructs Takeru in how to use his Kamen Rider gear. [[spoiler:It is revealed in the finale that its true form is Edith's cat; it slepts in the same pod as him.]]

!!!Portrayed by: Kazuhiko Nishimura

* BadassNormal: He's just a normal human being, but is capable of fighting Gamma with nothing but his fighting and ghost hunting skill. He even managed to defeat [[spoiler: Magister Eadith in the past. Mind you, Eadith is a Gamma Ultima, one of the most powerful of the Gamma types. Even Takeru needed Grateful Damashii to defeat one.

While the Hermit explains how ghosts work and the like, Yurusen is the one who instructs Takeru in how to use his Kamen Rider gear. [[spoiler:She is revealed in the finale to be Eadith's cat; she slept in the same pod as him.]]

** [[spoiler:Ends up having an actual meaning considering that her original body is a cat.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears in the final episode of ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'' observing Shinnosuke complete his final case, though most of the time, she was commenting on him holding onto the Newton Eyecon.
* EpisodeTitleCard: She forms these.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is based off of "Yuurei" (spirit).
** PunnyName: Her name is also a syllable or two away from "Urusai", translating into "shut up". Kind of funny considering who she is.
** Oddly enough, it's also homonymous to the Japanese phrase for "to forgive/forgiveness"; what that means is anyone's guess.

* {{Troll}}: Honestly, her [[spoiler: [[CatsAreMean being a cat]]]] makes perfect sense.

* ManInWhite: Normally he's black (or red in Toucon Boost), but once he goes [[SuperMode Mugen Damashii]], he becomes shining white.

* LeitMotif: All his themes involve religious instruments and mystical chorals, befiting a potential monk-in-training.

** This also extends to the Sunglasseslasher that is used in [[MidSeasonUpgrade Toucon Boost Damashii]]. It has both a [[CoolSword Sword Mode]] and a [[CoolGuns/{{Handguns}} Blaster Mode]] while also being a ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer pair of sunglasses]]'', which hide special slots to load two Eyecons.

10 years after the death of his father, on his 18th birthday, he received a package sent by his father not long before his untimely death. Inside was a Ghost Eyecon, a mysterious, eye-shaped artifact. This lead to an attack by Gamma - monsters from another dimension - on the temple. Takeru is killed in a fight by the Gamma while protecting his friend, Akari and Onari, his caretaker. Soon after, he was resurrected as a ghost by a mysterious hermit and given the Ghost Driver, which allowed him to use the Eyecon to fight as Kamen Rider Ghost. However, it wasn't a perfect resurrection - Takeru only has 99 days before he disappears permanently. In order to revive himself, he must collect the 15 Ghost Eyecons within 99 days.

* GhostLights: The horn on his Rider form's forehead (named the [[AllThereInTheManual Wisp Horn]]) is in the shape of a blue flame. Seeing as how Ghost is... well, a ghost, it clearly meant to evoke this trope.
