     Manga-exclusive Characters 

Akira Harada

A manga-exclusive character. Harada is a vicious serial killer who got arrested by Ichijou after murdering five women. He escaped shortly after and killed another person before meeting his demise at the hands of the Spider Grongi.

  • Ax-Crazy: He is clearly missing a few screws.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Does this to the women he kills. Harada opens their chests, fills them with gunpowder, and burns them alive, which makes them implode.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: To him, blowing up people is the same as making fireworks.
  • Red Right Hand: The left-side of his face is completely burned off.
  • Serial Killer: A mix of Visionary and Hedonistic. Killed six people in total.
  • Starter Villain: Kuuga never even had the chance to encounter him.

Shouichi Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito II

Yes, that Shouichi Tsugami—or rather, an alternate version of him. Unlike the canon version, this one not only keeps his memories, but he's Shouichi from the start.

  • Adaptation Name Change: A particularly odd example. He's still Shouichi Tsugami, but that's his birth name changed from Tetsyua Sawaki to his current name. Presumably because doing so would spoil one of the big twists related to him in his home show.
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: In Agito, his powers came from the Seed of Agito, which was granted by the Overlord of Light. This version's powers were transferred to him from his sister, who obtained them from the Alter Ring (which was the name of his belt in the TV series proper), which in this continuity is a version of the spirit stone, which turns people into either Grongi or Agitonote .
  • Identical Stranger: With the exception of having longer hair, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Yusuke. To the point that his older sister Yukina mistakes Yusuke for him.
  • Walking Spoiler: Mentioning his entire name alone kind of spoils one of the main changes to the manga for Kuuga from the TV Series, namely that Yusuke isn't the only Kamen Rider in this reality anymore, not to mention that it's hard to do so without mentioning that unlike in his home series, he doesn't have amnesia.

Yukina Tsugami/Kamen Rider Agito I

The older sister of Shouichi Tsugami.

  • Adaptational Badass: Not only is she more in control of her powers here, but she is able to use them to defend herself from the Grongi, and even fights Kuuga - for reasons explained directly below.
  • Adaptation Name Change: Her last name in Agito was Sawaki; here, her birth name is Tsugami.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to the Rose Grongi, she ends up fighting Kuuga.
  • Frame-Up: She's held by the police, suspected of a murder she was framed for, escaping only due to the Grongi abducting her.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: She's a Posthumous Character in Kamen Rider Agito. This version appears in the present day, but has her powers transferred to her brother, who becomes the second Agito.
  • Walking Spoiler: Much like her brother, it's a bit hard to talk about her without discussing how different she is from her home series.
