* No one in the franchise can even hold a candle to [[Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue Shin]] in the Woobie department. Seriously, the entire film could be called "NiceGuy gets utterly screwed over: The Movie". To say the least, he gets unknowingly turned into a HumanoidAbomination. It just gets worse for him from there. That ought to say just how much it sucks being this guy.

**When Kaito was little, he was left in an orphanage and his parents promised to retrieve him. They never did. The reason? It was simply to expensive to keep him, and Kaito grew up saddened with the fact that he never saw them again. Since this happened after Yggdrasil took over the city, he swore to take them down any way he could.

* [[Film/KamenRiderZX Ryo]] isn't that sad in the Tv special, but in [[Manga/KamenRiderSpirits Spirits]], they take his Woobie status UpToEleven. He has amnesia, has to fight the other Riders in order to regain his memory, and eventually finds out he was created to be what amounts to a spare body/powerup to the main villain, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Almost all of the Riders count as Woobies in some way, shape, or form.

*Lets start with the [[Series/KamenRider original]], shall we? Takeshi Hongo is a prime example of a man who had his life torn away from him. He just wanted to live a normal and happy life, yet SHOCKER took it away from him. He can't even hug people or shake hands, due to his strength!
*[[Series/KamenRiderV3 Shiro]] literally watched his family be executed in front of him. That says it all, really.
*[[Series/KamenRiderX Keisuke]] also was forced to watch his father sacrifice himself in order to allow him to become stronger.
*[[Series/KamenRiderStronger Tackle]] is even sadder, as she had plans for what she wanted to do, which was live a normal life. She wasn't called a Rider not because she was a woman, but because she refused to hold onto the hope of living a normal life. THEN she pulls a HeroicSacrifice.
