| 14 | !!Takeru Tenkuji/Kamen Rider Ghost |
| 15 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Shun Nishime (live), Seiji Takaiwa (suit) |
| 16 | [[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/takeru_tenkuji.png]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The son of a famous ghost hunter Ryu Tenkuji and the sole heir to the Tenkuji Temple. Takeru is a bright, carefree, and reckless youth who holds true to his beliefs. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 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 Sennin 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. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | !!!Tropes that apply to him in general |
| 23 | * AgentMulder: Plays this role opposite Akari, though he's more downplayed compared to Onari: Onari believes in all things supernatural, Akari believes only in science, and Takeru believes [[TakeAThirdOption whatever he sees with his own eyes]]. That sort of [[IncrediblyLamePun dies down]] after, well, [[DeathByOriginStory he does]]. |
| 24 | * AlliterativeName: '''T'''akeru '''T'''enkuji. |
| 25 | * AllLovingHero: Takeru is one of the few Riders who uses his powers to protect the innocent people as well as to show any form of compassion towards his enemies. |
| 26 | * AngelicTransformation: [[spoiler:Takeru's final form Mugen Damashii is based off this making Ghost look like an angelic savior.]] |
| 27 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Inverted, [[spoiler:according to the Great Eye, Takeru has already become an existence surpassing that of a human being, approaching that of the Great Eye. Takeru told the Great Eye that he prefers to be an ordinary human, which the Great Eye granted.]] |
| 28 | * BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Ayumu, who appears in #50, is strongly suggested to be Takeru's future son. According to the tie-in novel, he is Takeru's son with Chloe.]] |
| 29 | * BadassAdorable: Loud and childish, as proven with him jumping up and down while yelling 'I did it! I did it!' after defeating the first Gamma. The badass part starts with him coming back from dead to sort things out with his killers the hard way. |
| 30 | * BashBrothers: [[spoiler:With Makoto, after the latter's HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 31 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Going into space is no problem for him, as being a ghost he doesn't actually need to breathe. |
| 32 | * BerserkButton: Considering the fact that he died, it is not surprising that he gets pissed off if anyone devalues human lives, especially that of their own. |
| 33 | ** Don't mock his friends. |
| 34 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Takeru is a kind and gentle person, doesn't mean you should piss him off. |
| 35 | * BreakTheCutie: #5. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown A tad literal at some points]]. |
| 36 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "[[PreMortemOneLiner My life will burn bright!]]" |
| 37 | ** He has another one when using Grateful Damashii: |
| 38 | --> "The soul will always live on!" |
| 39 | *** And a third one when using Mugen Damashii: |
| 40 | ---> "Human potential is infinite!" |
| 41 | * CharacterTic: When he transforms, he relaxes his arms and lets them go limp as a Parka Ghost puts itself on him, as though letting it envelop him. |
| 42 | * CherryBlossoms: Has a coat with a sakura pattern design, and is associated with cherry blossom imagery in promotional materials; symbolic of his dying young and in battle. |
| 43 | ** [[CherryBlossomGirl Cherry Blossom Boy]]: Has several elements of the trope. |
| 44 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Akari [[spoiler:and Makoto]]. |
| 45 | * ClassicalAntihero: Started off as a timid and inexperience fighter. He later grows out of this once he resolves to become stronger. |
| 46 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Plays a similar role as [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Haruto Soma]] for being a Mystical Rider who helps out the {{victim of the week}} by entering their mental world and healing them before they succumb to the monster's manipulations. However, unlike Haruto who is already an ExperiencedProtagonist at the start of his story, Takeru takes some time to develop his skills as a Kamen Rider. |
| 47 | * CoolBike: Ghost's personal bike, the Machine Ghostriker. Normally a regular motorcycle, it transforms along with him to form a [[MyHorseIsAMotorbike motorcycle with a unicorn head]]. It can then [[CombiningMecha combine with Ghost's pirate ship]] to form the [[MiniMecha Iguana Ghostriker]]. |
| 48 | * CoolShip: The Captain Ghost. |
| 49 | * CooldownHug: He can remove the Gamma's influence over people by hugging them. |
| 50 | * DeaderThanDead: Takeru's fate should he go over his 99 day time limit, at least if the Sage is to be believed. Apparently, even ghosts cannot exist in the state Takeru is in for any longer than that, and will permanently die when time's up. [[spoiler:Or if his Ore Eyecon gets destroyed.]] |
| 51 | * DeathByOriginStory: At the very start of the series, he is slain by Gamma. But then gets an another take on life, with the benefit of [[CameBackStrong becoming a Kamen Rider]]. |
| 52 | * {{Determinator}}: One of Takeru's defining traits is his belief in himself, something his father is said to have inspired within him, and it shows. When Specter caused him to doubt himself, he became noticeably weaker, however once his resolve sharpened again, he fought the more experienced Rider to a near victory. |
| 53 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After the many, many things he went through, he finally got his wish to be revived as an ordinary human being.]] |
| 54 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Thrice in ''Series/KamenRiderDrive''. He first appears in ''[[Film/KamenRiderDriveSurpriseFuture Suprise Future]]'' where he briefly helps the Special Crimes Unit by defeating one of the numberless Roidmudes. He also appears in the last two episodes of the series: first by getting Shinnosuke out of the way from vengeance-seeking Roidmude ghosts, then by observing Shinnosuke complete his final case. |
| 55 | * FashionableAsymmetry: In his civilian form, Takeru often wears a hoodie-robe mix, which have a colorful pastern on its right side. As Ghost, it's mostly symmetrical, with the exception of a little ghost tail at the back of the jacket. |
| 56 | * FatalFlaw: So to speak. Even in death, he continues to put others priorities before himself [[spoiler:and even gives up his chance at reviving for Kanon's]]. Akari eventually calls him out on it. |
| 57 | * GhostMemory: After #29, he developed the power to see others memories. |
| 58 | * GuestStarPartyMember: To Series/KamenRiderDrive for the last two episodes. |
| 59 | * TheHero: The main and titular protagonist of the series. |
| 60 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the novel, he willingly sacrifices half his lifespan to save Chloe and their unborn son, saving them but ensuring he will die relatively young.]] |
| 61 | * HopeBringer: His main job is to bring victims out of dispair and prevent them from dying. |
| 62 | * IHatePastMe: Downplayed. He grew visibly annoyed by how spoiled his younger self was. After giving himself a prep talk that he has to save Akari and not just relying on others, his younger self then picks his resolve to save her. |
| 63 | * 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.]] |
| 64 | * IntangibleMan: As a ghost, he has this power. Comes in handy when investigating things. |
| 65 | * {{Invisibility}}: As a ghost, he can become invisible whenever he chooses. Though he can sometimes vanish against his will if his emotions get the better of him. |
| 66 | * TheKirk |
| 67 | * {{Leitmotif}}: All his themes involve oriental instruments and mystical chorals, befitting a potential monk-in-training. |
| 68 | * LivingOnBorrowedTime: Only has 99 days to complete his mission or he'll die again. |
| 69 | * MeaningfulName: His family name contains the characters for "sky/heaven" and "temple." |
| 70 | * NiceGuy: Takeru is a kind and gentle person, who's always willing to help those in needs. [[BewareTheNiceOnes That being said, don't piss him off.]] |
| 71 | * 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.]] |
| 72 | * {{Psychopomp}}: He acts as one in one of the final ''Drive'' episodes, meeting a nearly-dead Shinnosuke in some sort of limbo realm. Though he doesn't guide Shinnosuke ''to'' the afterlife, he instead directs him ''away'' from it and fights off the Roidmude souls trying to drag him there. |
| 73 | * TheRedeemer: Takeru really rarely gets angry and prioritizes others before himself. This compassion eventually brings Makoto and Alain to his side. By the end of the series this trait becomes a full TheEmpath power and helps the entire Gamma race to go through HeelFaceTurn. |
| 74 | * RedOniBlueOni: The passionate red to Makoto's stoic blue. |
| 75 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: He has 99 days to live and complete his mission before he'll die for good. He runs out by #12, but gets another 99 that span the remaining episodes. [[spoiler:By the end of the show, he doesn't actually have a time limit anymore, but he doesn't know that until the last episode.]] |
| 76 | * YouCantFightFate: In ''Kamen Rider Ghost × Kamen Rider Drive: Super War Genesis'', he wants to prevent his father from dying on the day he's supposed to. His efforts were in vain as his father gave his life to protect his younger self. While the circumstances of his death had changed, his father's death could not be avoided. |
| 77 | * YouKilledMyFather: How Takeru reacts after finding out that [[spoiler:Adel killed his father.]] |

| 150 | * GunsAkimbo: Ghost in Billy the Kid Damashii can fight like this, with the Gan Gun Saber and Bat Clock in their Gun Modes. |

| 165 | * ManOfKryptonite: To the [[Film/KamenRiderGenerationsDrPacmanVsExAidAndGhostWithLegendaryRiders Pac-Man Virus]], considering how ghosts are Pac-Man's natural enemy and one weakness in his native game. Hordes of Pac-Man Viruses even take away his transformation for a limited time because he's the only one who could stop the outbreak. |
| 166 | * MeaningfulName: The Eyecon he uses for his main form is the "Ore Eyecon". Ore is just one of many Japanese pronouns for "I", as in it's his own Ghost Eyecon. |
| 167 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: Toucon Boost Damashii and Grateful Damashii. |
| 168 | * MiniMecha: The Iguana Ghostriker, to which Ghost can ride on. The Iguana Ghostriker can also fight by itself, as it handled the Giant Denki Gamma by itself. |

| 170 | * RainbowMotif: The secondary color scheme for Mugen Damashii. Covering Mugen Damashii are stylized infinity symbols. The ones on his arms are all warm colors, while the ones on his legs are cool colors. The one on his chest is largely warm, though the bottom portion does get cool colors. In addition to that, when activating FinishingMove in Mugen, they are also rainbow-hued. |
| 171 | * RealMenWearPink: Himiko Damashii. To be fair, it ''is'' incredibly powerful and based off of a woman. |
| 172 | * SwissArmyWeapon: Holy crap, does the Gan Gun Saber run with this trope. Surpassing even the previous champion the [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-Gasher]], the Gan Gun Saber can reattach and reassemble its various parts as well as combine with animal gadgets. |
| 173 | ** Standard: [[CoolSword Blade Mode]], [[DoubleWeapon Naginata Mode]], [[DualWielding Nitoryu Mode]], and Gun Mode. |
| 174 | ** Combination: Arrow Mode[[note]]When combined with the Condor Telephone[[/note]], Rifle Mode[[note]]When combined with the Bat Clock[[/note]], and Hammer Mode[[note]]When combined with the Spider Lantern[[/note]]. |
| 175 | ** This also extends to the Sunglasseslasher that is used in [[MidSeasonUpgrade Toucon Boost Damashii]]. It has both a [[CoolSword Sword Mode]] and a Blaster Mode while also being a ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer pair of sunglasses]]'', which hide special slots to load two Eyecons. Using sunglasses as a weapon? Gee, [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann where have we heard that before]]? |
| 176 | * SummonMagic: After gaining the Eyecon Driver G, he gains the ability to summon the Heroic Eyecons into fighting forms to aid him as Grateful Damashii. |
| 177 | * SuperMode: Mugen Damashii, obtained from using the Mugen Eyecon formed from his (third) rebirth. And seemingly, Tenkatoitsu Damashii in the movie. |
| 178 | * SupernaturalLight: 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. |
| 179 | * TookALevelInBadass: He started out getting [[CurbStompBattle beaten up]] by Specter, and was usually only spared out of mercy. Once he's lost his fear of Specter, he's able to fight him on even ground and nearly win. For more points, it's implied Takeru's using something physically ''weaker'' to fight him. As the series progress, Takeru gets more and more powerful. |
| 180 | * TransformationTrinket: The Ghost Driver and the Eyecons, the former being spiritually attached to him. Later, he receives an upgraded Eyecon Driver G [[spoiler:and later, the Mugen Eyecon.]] |
| 181 | * TronLines: His Rider form is covered in such lines, albeit they're not as prominent as the other uses of this trope. However, once he unleashes an [[FinishingMove Omega Drive]], both his face and the lines light up considerably. |

| 198 | * FlatEarthAtheist: Holy guacamole, does she hold onto this trope. She grew out of it after #3 though, having [[spoiler:met Sage and developed the Shiranui Spray that makes ghosts and Gamma visible.]] |
| 199 | * 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. |
| 200 | * MamaBear: Is quick to denounce Igor's treatment of his fellow Gamma, stating that they have hearts just like humans do. |
| 201 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: Her usual attire, although she is bare-legged on occasion. |
| 202 | * ShipTease: In #2, Onari seems to suggest that she wants to be seen as cute by Takeru. |
| 203 | ** Her seemingly selfish birthday present to Takeru, two tickets to a science expo he has no interest in, could be interpreted as her wanting to go on a date with him. |
| 204 | ** In #48, she gets flustered after Onari suggests that her concern for Igor is a sign of love. |
| 205 | * 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.]] |
| 206 | * {{Tsundere}}: She leans towards type A in her first appearance. |

| 213 | |
| 214 | The head monk of the Tenkuji temple, he took care of Takeru ever since his father passed away. |
| 215 | ---- |
| 216 | * AdoptivePeerParent: Has been Takeru's primary caretaker ever since Ryu Tenkuji's death 10 years ago. Onari's age is given by official material as 26, so this trope applies. |
| 217 | * AgentMulder: A more vocal one to Akari's Scully than Takeru. |
| 218 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Due to having more experience, he's very observant even in the heat of battle, so he ends up helping Takeru a lot by finding weakpoints, pointing out info or even finding Eyecons. |
| 219 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Perhaps the hammiest and strangest monk in the world. Still manages to help out A LOT. |
| 220 | * ButtMonkey: Tends to have some of the worst things happen to him during Gamma-related incidents. |
| 221 | * CatchPhrase: "'''UNACCEPTABLE!!'''" (He's clearly yelling that in the OP too.) |
| 222 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: His conversation with Jabel in #27 hint at this, according to him, he did a lot things he regretted in the past. |
| 223 | * HiddenDepths: Shows a lot of this throughout the series. Him reciting the teachings of Buddha in #27 is a primary example. |
| 224 | * LargeHam: Typically monks are vegetarian. Onari's diet consists primarily of [[ChewingTheScenery the scenery]]. |
| 225 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Says he used to be like this [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Igor turns him into Rapunzel.]] |
| 226 | * TheMcCoy: For a monk he's very eccentric and emotional. |
| 227 | * NiceGuy: He's generally kind and forgiving. He even save Jabel's life and gave him food when Jabel was dying. |
| 228 | * OddFriendship: He's started developing one with, of all people, Jabel. |
| 229 | * ParentalSubstitute: He does genuinely care for Takeru, and wants to train him to be as great as his father. Being a servant of the house, he also values his approval greatly. |
| 230 | * SitcomArchNemesis: [[spoiler:He has this dynamic with the Gazai Gamma/Cubi due to his round head fitting the bill of what the artistic Gamma loves to paint.]] |
| 231 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Despite his butt monkey traits, Onari does have occasional moments to shine. In fact, part of Jabel's HeelFaceTurn stems from his own advice. |
| 232 | * WarriorMonk: The head monk of the Tenkuji temple and not afraid to directly fight against the Gamma. |

Since then, he's been hanging around the Tenkuji Temple and advising Takeru on what Ghost Eyecons are about to show up and on general ghost matters. [[spoiler:He later gets his own Ghost Driver to transform into the second Kamen Rider Dark Ghost.]] |

| 244 | * AceCustom: [[spoiler:His Gamma Ultima form is black, and powerful enough to go one on one with Adel in his Perfect Gammaizer form for a short amount of time.]] |
| 245 | * CoolOldGuy: He's a friendly old guy who loves to cosplay, and who gives Takeru advice on where to find the Eyecons. |
| 246 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Being defeated by [[BadassNormal Ryu Tenkuji]] allowed him to see the infinite potential that humans possess and aid Ryu as a result.]] |
| 247 | * EccentricMentor: He does have his moments. |
| 248 | * 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 Edith, a high-ranking Gamma who was friends with Adonis.]] |
| 249 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He's the one who gave the Ghost Driver to Argos, who becomes the BigBad of TheMovie. In a wider sense, he [[spoiler:worked with Adonis to create the Gamma World and is the one who the built the Gammaizers.]] |
| 250 | * MaamShock: Inverted- Takeru addresses him as ''Ot-chan'' ("Uncle") rather than the more age-appropriate ''Ojii-san'' ("Grandpa.") |
| 251 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He clearly seems to regret creating the Gammaizers and the life supports system that caused his people's own life force to stagnate and worse, it does the opposite (giving them slow and painless deaths).]] |
| 252 | * 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 Edith.]] |
| 253 | * NotSoAboveItAll: [[spoiler:While Edith seems incredibly serious and calm, he immediately drops into Sennin's mannerisms when he realizes that he returned after Adel destroyed him while wearing his Sage getup]] ''[[spoiler:because he forgot to change.]]'' |
| 254 | * {{Psychopomp}}: He acts as Takeru's, meeting him after dying and guiding him in his undeath. |
| 255 | * SadClown: [[spoiler:He verges into this in #42 after TheReveal. His CoolOldGuy {{Troll}} self hides his magistrate persona, all while having a well-hidden GuiltComplex especially with Takeru's well-being and existence. Akari and company call him out on this; Edith himself took it the hardest as they feel so much concern for Takeru. He gets over it when Takeru deduces that he feels the same way, and reaffirms that he connects with the feelings of others]]. |
| 256 | * StealthHiBye: He has tendency to appear out of nowhere and then disappear as soon as no one is looking at him. |

| 266 | |
| 267 | A rather rude phantasm who is assigned by Sennin to guide Takeru after he becomes Ghost. While the Sennin 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.]] |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AsideComment: If it ain't straight up snark, Yurusen makes these. |
| 270 | * BedsheetGhost: Yurusen creates this effect with the cloak it wears. |

| 276 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Yurusen first appears in the final episode of ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'' observing Shinnosuke complete his final case, though most of the time, Yurusen was commenting on him holding onto the Newton Eyecon. |
| 277 | * EpisodeTitleCard: It forms these. |
| 278 | * MeaningfulName: Its name is based off of "Yuurei" (spirit). |
| 279 | ** PunnyName: Its name is also a syllable or two away from "Urusai", translating into "shut up". Kind of funny considering who it is. Oddly enough, it is also homonymous to the Japanese phrase for "to forgive/forgiveness"; what that means is anyone's guess. |
| 280 | * MentorMascot: To Takeru, which is very odd to a HenshinHero show. |
| 281 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Is a rather cute little ghost. |

| 291 | ---- |
| 292 | * 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 Edith in the past. Mind you, Eaith is a Gamma Ultima, one of the most powerful of the Gamma types. Even Takeru needed Grateful Damashii to defeat one. Ryu defeat one when he's just a normal human.]] |
| 293 | ** [[spoiler:In the alternate timeline he can match pace with the Rafaello and Michelangelo Ganmas, even defeating Michelangelo himself and claiming his Eyecon in an off-screen battle.]] |
| 294 | * DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: [[spoiler:To the point he even gave his son a power boost in ''Kamen Rider Ghost × Kamen Rider Drive'' ''AND'' extend his son's deadline another 99 days]]. |

| 296 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gives up his own ''afterlife'' to extend his son's 99 day deadline, while granting him the powerful [[IncendiaryExponent Toucon]] [[MidSeasonUpgrade Boost]]]]. |
| 297 | ** In ''Kamen Rider Ghost × Kamen Rider Drive'', he risked his own life to save his younger son as Takeru (from the future) could not stop his death from happening. |
| 298 | * PapaWolf: [[spoiler:The man not only gives up his afterlife to restore his son's, but it's ''his'' soul that acts as Boost's Parka Ghost. There's no stopping the love of a parent, not even in death.]] |
| 299 | ** This extends to Akari as well. [[spoiler:In the alternate timeline, Ryu immediately sensed both attempts by the Rennaisance Ganma to kidnap her.

| 328 | |
| 329 | !!!Tropes that apply to him in general |
| 330 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:Alain implied that Makoto isn't completely human anymore. Considering he turned into an Eyecon to return to the Gamma World just like Alain did, he's definitely not human anymore.]] |
| 331 | ** Ultimately revealed to be a[[spoiler:n artificially-made]] human, but like the Gamma, projecting his spirit from outside his physical body. Given that Ghost Drivers can seemingly only be used by those with a tie to the spiritual, this makes a lot of things make a lot more sense. |
| 332 | * AntiHero: Like his fellow Secondary Riders such as [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Knight]] and [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Baron]], Makoto has his own agenda when he fights as a Rider. [[spoiler:He became heroic after Kanon was revived]]. |
| 333 | * AcquiredPoisonImmunity: A variant. [[spoiler:During the [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]] Chapter of the ''Rider's Souls!'' web-series, the Terror Dopant hits him with his namesake power. Turns out, Makoto had already fallen to fear and despair and refuses to do so ever again for Takeru and Kanon's collective sake.]] |
| 334 | * TheAtoner: Since Kanon's revival, Makoto's been very ashamed to be around the others. Further, he says he will tell Takeru about his time in the Gamma World after her "rectifies his mistake." |
| 335 | * BashBrothers: After his HeelFaceTurn, Makoto becomes this with Takeru. |
| 336 | * BerserkButton: Talking about his little sister after she's reduced to an Eyecon. No longer an example when she revives. |
| 337 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Even after Kanon is revived, Makoto is very keen to keep her out of danger. [[spoiler: In one of the post-show appearances she makes, she remarks that after he found out she’d become a Rider, he hid her Eyecon away for this reason]]. |
| 338 | * BloodKnight: He's accused of being this when Kanon [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out]]. |
| 339 | * BlueIsHeroic: In contrast with Takeru's heroic orange, his dark blue shows that leans more towards anti than hero. [[spoiler:He's become more of a straight hero afterwards]]. |
| 340 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:A few months after their battle against the Great Eyezer, he and Kanon had decided to leave the Daitenku Temple to aid Alain in their prospect to turn the Gamma world into a utopia just like Earth.]] |
| 341 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:He's this between episode 17 and 22, thanks to Alain.]] |
| 342 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "[[PreMortemOneLiner Let me show you the path I've chosen!]]" |
| 343 | * CharacterTic: While Takeru simply allows the Parka Ghosts to envelop him, Makoto flexes his arms as though putting them or forcing them on when he transforms. |
| 344 | * CloneAngst: [[spoiler:''Re:Birth Specter'' reveals that Makoto and Kanon (and by extension the Copy Makotos) are attempts by Danton to create the perfect human. [[TomatoInTheMirror He doesn't take well to this revelation at all]].]] |
| 345 | * CombatPragmatist: While skilled in battle, he's not above doing things such as stepping on Takeru's hand to steal his Eyecon. |
| 346 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: |
| 347 | ** Both Makoto and [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Go Shijima/Kamen Rider Mach]] are the Secondary Riders who has sisters to their respective families. Go is the younger brother of Kiriko who helps out the heroes since the beginning while Makoto is the older brother of Kanon who initially antagonizes Takeru due to his agenda of collecting the Eyecons in order to revive his sister before joining Takeru's side later on. |
| 348 | ** Like [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ren Akiyama]], Makoto is a secondary Rider who's determined to revive a loved one by fighting another rider whom he's initially had a hostility with. However, while Ren takes some time to become kinder towards Shinji, Makoto quickly became nicer to Takeru much faster after the latter managed to revived Kanon during the first arc. |
| 349 | * CoolBike: His Rider Machine, the Machine Hoodie. Like the Machine Ghostriker, it is normally just a regular motorcycle. However, once Specter activates the Houdini Eyecon, it [[CombiningMecha combines with him]] to allow access to the Houdini Damashii form. |
| 350 | * DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Ten years ago, he and his sister were dragged into the Gamma dimension.]] |
| 351 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Makoto appeared in the third episode before his official debut in the fourth episode. |
| 352 | * FatalFlaw: Attacking and refusing to trust those who generally want to help him, like Takeru, whilst listening to the ones who obviously shouldn't be trusted, like Saionji. |
| 353 | * FreudianExcuse: Yeah, he's a bit of a ruthless jerk, but [[spoiler:who wouldn't be after being trapped in what amounts to ''Hell'' for who knows how long and losing their sister?]] |
| 354 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Delivers this to both Takeru and Alain at different points of time. It works. |
| 355 | * 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. |
| 356 | * HeelFaceTurn: Fights alongside Takeru after the latter uses his wish to resurrect Kanon. |
| 357 | * HeelRealization: Has this reaction when Takeru got the wish, meaning that all the pain he'd caused him was AllForNothing. It gets ''worse'' when Takeru wishes Kanon back to life, proving he'd been hurting someone genuinely trying to help him. This causes his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 358 | * HellbentForLeather: Is dressed from head to toe in it a la [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Chase]]. |
| 359 | * LeitMotif: His battle theme is quick and heavy on guitar riffs. |
| 360 | * MeaningfulName: His family name is written with the characters for "deep sea", a parallel to Tenkuji containing the character for "heaven" or "sky." |
| 361 | * NinjaLooting: To the letter of the trope, what Makoto did to obtain the Nobunaga Eyecon from Takeru's grasp. |
| 362 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:His father left both him and Kanon after their mother died.]] |
| 363 | * PetTheDog: In #6, he's in a perfect position to kill Akari and steal the Musashi Eyecon. He decides to just leave her alone. For now... |
| 364 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Takeru's Red. |
| 365 | ** Gets switched up in #8 and #9. While Takeru's trying to encourage Makoto to calm down and remember how they were friends, Makoto's enraged and more focused on killing him to take his Eyecons. |
| 366 | * TheRival: To Takeru's TheHero. |

| 368 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Was trapped in the Gamma World ten years ago with his sister.]] |
| 369 | * TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:After Kanon is revived.]] |
| 370 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Both Takeru and [[spoiler:Kanon]] have remarked on how much Makoto has changed over the years. |
| 371 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: On both ends. Takeru is horrified of him because of how much he has changed while Makoto wants to defeat Takeru to gain his Eyecons, [[spoiler:though he also hates him because of his father, who caused him to be teleported to the Gamma World with his sister. After Takeru revives his sister, Makoto becomes friendly once again]]. |
| 372 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:His sister eventually gets fed up over his behavior towards Takeru, stating that she doesn't want be revived if he continues attacking Takeru and trying to steal his Eyecons. She even goes as far as accusing him that the only reason he's picking fights with him is no reason at all. This is after he very nearly uses a Rider Kick on both an untransformed Takeru ''and'' a defenseless Akari.]] |

| 382 | ** BoringButPractical: He can do a variant of the Omega Fang that slashes foes in a wide radius around him. It's nowhere near as devastating or flashy as a black hole, but it is great for taking out large groups of Commando Gamma. |

| 414 | * HornedHumanoid: Instead of Ghost's whispy single horn made to resemble a ghost light, Specter has two curved Wisp Horns. |
| 415 | ** When using Houdini Damashii, they become the proportionally bigger Striker Horns. [[spoiler:And as Deep Specter, they become the even bigger and jagged, antler-like Chaos Wisp Horns.]] |

| 428 | [[folder:Kanon Fukami]] |
| 429 | !!Kanon Fukami/[[spoiler:Mion/Kamen Rider Kanon Specter]] |
| 430 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Mio Kudo[[spoiler:, Yuki Miyazawa (suit)]] |
| 431 | [[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanon_fukami_6.png]] |

| 433 | https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamen_rider_kanon_specter.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 434 | |
| 435 | Makoto's little sister, who died sometime after being sucked into the Gamma World and lives on as an Eyecon. |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Takeru wishes her back to life the first time all fifteen Eyecons are gathered.]] |
| 438 | * BreakoutCharacter: [[spoiler: In post show appearances Kanon has practically all but replaced Akari as the show's main heroine, showing up frequently (and in one case being the only other Ghost character besides Takeru himself to appear) and becoming a Rider herself while Akari hasn't appeared since the [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Ex-Aid]] crossover. Kanon was also the Ghost representative in [[Recap/KamenRiderJeanneAndKamenRiderAguileraWithGirlsRemix Girls Remix]]. While some of it is Mio Kudo's popularity with Tokusatsu fans following being cast in [[Series/MashinSenraiKiramager Kiramager]] it's mostly actor availibilty. Kudo loves Tokusatsu and jumps at the chance to return to her roles whenever she can, while Hikaru Osawa has quit acting.]] |
| 439 | * BlushSticker: As an Eyecon, she has two pink patches to either side. |
| 440 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:She decided to go alongside Makoto and Alain in their quest to turn the Gamma World into a utopia]]. |
| 441 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Yui Kanzaki and Eri Ogawa]], since she was served as a MoralityPet to Makoto just like how Yui and Eri act to Ren. |
| 442 | * FinishingMove: Like the finishers of Ghost and many other Riders with specific names before them, Specter has Omega Drives and likely the Omedamas as well. |
| 443 | ** '''Kanon Specter''' |
| 444 | *** '''Omega Drive''': has two variations. |
| 445 | *** Kanon Specter performs two punches that create pink energy shockwaves before delivering a chop and kick, both of which leave a trail of pink energy. |
| 446 | *** Kanon Specter sprouts six pink energy wings and performs a flying kick covered in pink energy. |
| 447 | * MeaningfulName: Kanon is the same as a figure from Buddhist beliefs who got trapped in Hell because she had absorbed the sins of people so they could leave, but also inevitably made it a better place. |
| 448 | * MoralityPet: For both Makoto and Alain. |
| 449 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Her father left her and Makoto after their mother died.]] |
| 450 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her Eyecon has a pink hue to separate it from other Gamma Eyecons. [[spoiler:It's also Kanon Specter's main color as well.]] |
| 451 | * SoulJar: Her soul resides in an Eyecon [[spoiler:or did, until she was resurrected]]. |
| 452 | * TookALevelInBadass: In the series proper, Kanon was mostly the MoralityPet for Makoto and Alain. [[spoiler:In ''Specter × Blades'', she receives her own Ghost Driver and Eyecon, becoming Kamen Rider Kanon Specter]]. She later demonstrates in ''Girls Remix'' that she doesn’t even need to transform to lay a beatdown. |
| 453 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A particularly weird inversion. While Kanon never did anything to cause great disaster, [[spoiler:Takeru brought her back to life, which in turn led to him still being a threat to the Gamma as he and his friends continue their quest to get the Eyecons for his own resurrection]]. In short, because of her situation [[spoiler:and Takeru fixing said situation, the Gamma still had to deal with Takeru]]. |
| 454 | * WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:She was resurrected and joins the supporting cast after the first arc.]] |
| 455 | * WhatTheHellHero: She calls Makoto out on antagonizing Takeru, even if it's for her sake. |
| 456 | * WideEyedIdealist: Even after seeing Alain brainwash her brother, she really believes that he can be better. [[spoiler:[[TheIdealistWasRight Eventually she's correct]].]] |

| 479 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Hisako Okata |

| 481 | A kindly woman who runs a takoyaki stand that Takeru, Akari, and the Fukamis frequented as kids; and Kanon has started visiting her again now that she's back in the human world. Due to meeting her during his visits to Kanon, Alain soon forms a friendship with her as well. |
| 482 | ---- |
| 483 | * KilledOffForReal: In a story where few people die for good thanks to being spirits, [[spoiler:she passes away of old age in #29, and her own spirit only shows up in #30 so Alain can give her a proper goodbye.]] |
| 484 | * MoralityPet: For Alain, frequently encouraging him to follow his heart. |
| 485 | * ShipperOnDeck: For Kanon and Alain based on how close they are and on how Kanon uses the "-sama" honorific for him, not realizing that their relationship is platonic. |
| 486 | * WeirdnessCensor: She regularly either [[ComicallyMissingThePoint misinterprets Alain's comments about not being human]], or just dismisses him as being a weirdo. [[spoiler:The ''Alain's Heroic Saga'' specials show that they met once when she was a young adult, with him in the present day not realizing she has aged while she always recognised him, which adds a third option: She always knew, [[AllLovingHero and she didn't mind if he was human or not.]]]] |
