History Characters / KamenRiderDenO

NiceGuy: Deneb is unfailingly polite to everyone, even his enemies, and every time he's in master's body it's for the purpose of trying to make friends with everyone Sakurai pushes away. This stands out particularly in contrast with the more amoral and even malicious Imagin throughout the show.

!!Momotaros[=/=]Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form (voiced by Creator/ToshihikoSeki; suit actor Seiji Takaiwa)

-->"I...have arrived!"

!!Urataros[=/=]Kamen Rider Den-O Rod Form (voiced by Creator/KojiYusa; suit actor Eitoku)

-->"Mind if I reel you in?"

!!Kintaros[=/=]Kamen Rider Den-O Ax Form (voiced by Creator/MasakiTerasoma; suit actor Jiro Okamoto)

-->"My strength has made you cry!"

!!Ryutaros[=/=]Kamen Rider Den-O Gun Form (voiced by Creator/KenichiSuzumura; suit actor Toshihiro Ogura)

-->"Mind if I defeat you? I can't hear your answer!"

* PsychopathicManchild: Whenever he possesses Ryotaro, he somehow holds some kind of glee in chasing people down for no apparent reason. And for a while, he thought the best way to win Airi's heart was to get rid of Yuto (see MurderTheHypotenuse above) and this was shown most prominently in a picture he drew (which depicts Den-O Gun Form blowing a giant bloody hole through Zeronos' chest). The biggest offender would be in Climax Deka, where he starts whipping out the handcuffs to any person who just ''looks'' like he'd be part in an Evil Organization.

!!Sieg[=/=]Kamen Rider Den-O Wing Form (voiced by Creator/ShinichiroMiki; suit actor Naoki Nagase)

-->"Advent, to the top..."

-->"I don't have any energy left to faint!"

!!Hana [[spoiler:Sakurai]][=/=]Kohana (portrayed by Yuriko Shiratori[=/=]Tamaki Matsumoto)

-->"I can't allow that. I won't let you Imagin kill Den-O."

!!Naomi (portrayed by Rina Akiyama)

-->"Thank you for boarding the Denliner today.Your attendant today is...Me! Naomi!"

!!The Owner (portrayed by Kenjiro Ishimaru)

The series' MonsterOfTheWeek creatures, Imagin are time-traveling spirits from a destroyed alternate future, with the goal of changing the past to bring their future back into existence. Initially they manifest as golden balls of light, but upon possessing a human victim (in a burst of energy and sand) they take a form from that person's imagination, drawing upon their mental image of various stories, legends, or folk tales. Once possessing a victim, Imagin offer them a "wish", twisting that person's desires to destructive ends. Once the wish is granted (by whatever loose definition the Imagin is using), a portal opens to the past via a particularly strong memory of victim's. From there the Imagin goes back in time and runs rampant in an attempt to alter the timeline. Upon defeat, particularly poweful Imagin will [[OneWingedAngel revive as giant monsters]] called "Gigandeaths". The Imagin initially seem independent of one another and unorganized, but as the series goes on it's revealed that there's more to their goals than meets the eye.

An arrogant swan Imagin, inspired by the story of ''Theatre/SwanLake'' and it's male protagoist, Prince Siegfried in specific. He possessed a rich heiress, but because she was pregnant at the time, he possessed her unborn son immediately after. Sieg first came into being following the child's birth, referring to mother and child as his family. He was brought to the [=DenLiner=] crew's attention when Ryutaros brought him onto the train. His arrogant demeanor rubbed everyone the wrong way until Hana punched some sense into him, at which point he began calling her "Princess" and started gradually referring to the others as family rather than servants. He allows Den-O to assume the exceptionally powerful Wing Form, but because his contract was formed with a child, whose memory isn't as strong as an adult's, he begins "fading". Ryotaro discovers a loophole in that Sieg had previously completed a contract with the heiress (who wished for her baby to be born safely, which he was,) allowing him to travel to her past and exist peacefully; despite this development, he shows up in critical moments such as the series finale and the movies.

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Comes with the revelation about the Zeronos Cards, explaining that Yuto acts rude to keep people distant.]]

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: He's pretty much a walking one. No matter how serious the scene happening in the foreground is, if Ryoutaros is around, more often than not he's dancing around in the background or doing something childish like drawing pictures. [[CloudCuckoolander Naomi]] is known to join him on occasion.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Pretty, caring, an excellent cook, and '''completely''' unflappable. Upon being told that Ryotaro was being held hostage by an armed robber, her immediate reaction was to go back to preparing coffee. The wisdom part is thus:[[spoiler:She's been in on her fiancée's {{plan}} from the beginning, and allowed her own memories to be altered in order to protect the Junction Point, their future daughter Hana. And she's known from the start that "Ryo-chan" was Den-O, and that his friend Yuuto is the time-displaced teenage version of her fiancée.]]

* MythologyGag: [[AllThereInTheManual According to the Imagin design book]], his design is a reference to Kamen Rider Ouja from Series/KamenRiderRyuki. It's a more intentional example than the others, since he just so happens to be voiced by Asakura's actor, and [[spoiler: is beaten by Ryotaro while the latter is possessed by Sieg, who's based on Femme (who killed Ouja in ''Episode Final'']].

* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:After Eve goes AxCrazy and becomes G Den-O itself, Reiji gives [=DiEnd=] a K-Touch to become [[SuperMode DiEnd Complete Form]]. He then uses a special card to summon Kamen Riders [[Series/KamenRiderAgito G4]], [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuga]], [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Orga]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Glaive]], [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Kabuki]], [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Caucasus]], [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Arc]], and [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Skull]] to all do their FinishingMove along side him to destroy G Den-O.]]

* VagueAge: It's impossible to tell what age any of the Taros are, since they get their physical forms from Ryotaro's imagination, but Ryutaros in particular appears to be a child, and is regarded as one by the other Taros. How mature he actually is varies--a lot of his behavior and mannerisms point to him being a young child, but he also identifies with other teenagers (like his DancePosse.)

* AmbiguousAge: It's impossible to tell what age any of the Taros are, since they get their physical forms from Ryotaro's imagination, but Ryutaros in particular appears to be a child--a young one, even--judging by his behavior and mannerisms.

* CrowdSong: A rare [[JustifiedTrope justified]] version. Sometimes he uses dances to chase people down.

* DemonicPossession: Although as an Imagin he's capable of it, it's rather notable in that Deneb refrains from possessing others outside of Yuto, even when it's established he can. Even when he possesses Kotaro he apologies beforehand.

* BattleButler: Acts as Yuto's loyal servant (running errands, cooking, cleaning the [=ZeroLiner=]), humble and honest to a fault, and assists Yuto in battle.

* BattleButler: Does many things butlers do (shopping for food, cooking for Yuto, cleaning the [=ZeroLiner=]), has a very humble attitude, and assists Yuto in battle.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: His motif is an Octopus.

%%* TeamMom

%%* HeroesPreferSwords

%%* WolverinePublicity

%%* ChivalrousPervert

%%* LightningBruiser

* CoolBigSis: Treats Ryotaro this way before being de-aged.

* TheNthDoctor: Tamaki Matsumoto for Yuriko Shiratori. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Shiratori left the series due to the stresses of filming.]]

%%* EccentricMentor

* IdenticalStranger: The Owner and the Station Master, obviously.
* InexplicablyAwesome: He displays some strange supernatural abilities, such as destroying an electrically charged cell with a paper flag, having immunity to Ryuutaros' mind control and running so fast he can keep up with the Den-Liner! The character himself receives no backstory whatsoever.

* AnimeHair: A side effect on people possessed by him.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Eventually develops one for Ryotaro as well as the other Taros. [[spoiler:He even takes it personally when he thought Ura was EvilAllAlong ([[FakeDefector he wasn't]]).]]
* BloodKnight: Has elements of it at the start, before [[CharacterDevelopment developing]] into a... BoisterousBruiser.
* ButtMonkey: Ryotaro's luck seems to have rubbed off on him. This is exemplified in the fourth movie; ''[[ShotInTheAss literally]]'', even.

** "Ore, sanjou!" [[labelnote:English]]''"Here I am!"''[[/labelnote]]

* CharacterTics: Tends to do bombastic poses, most famously the "Ore, sanjou!" pose which consist of pointing at himself on the ''Ore'', then standing with his arms spread at ''sanjou!''. Also, Blade on the shoulder when he's Den-O.

** In ''Episode Red'', he gets thrown overboard when the [=DenLiner=] was out of control, getting stranded four months before the events of the movie.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: in ''Final Countdown'', to Ryotaro/Yu-ki Skull Form.
* IncomingHam: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly]] what his {{Catchphrase}} says.

%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* RuleOfCool: What Momo usually tries to go by.

* TheNicknamer: Calls Momotaros "[[SempaiKohai Sempai]]" (because Momo insisted) and refers to most people either affectionately ("Kin-chan", "Naomi-chan") unless they've earned his respect ("Hana-san", "Airi-san"). He calls Yuto "Boku-chan" (a very childish way of saying "me") as a reference to the young man's selfish nature.

The main villain of the show; although his existence isn't revealed until late in the series, he is alluded to as the unknown voice that sent Ryuutaros to kill Ryotaro under the promise of making him conductor of the [=DenLiner=]. Kai is revealed to be able to talk to ''all'' the Imagins, and commands the vast majority of them that go back in time and wreak havoc. When he finally makes an appearance on the show, it heralds multiple reveals about the Imagins and their goals.

* RedHerring: As [[spoiler:the identity of the Junction Point]].

!! Kuchihiko[=/=]Goldra (portrayed by Eisuke Sasai)

* BigBad: Although his brother is also one of the main villains of the movie, he has the bigger role of the two, and lasts the longest.
* BlingBlingBang: As indicated by his second name, his Rider armor is gold in color.
* DoubleWeapon: Wields a double-headed spear.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The two oni, despite being time-traveling conquerors, genuinely care for each other, and Goldra goes ''berserk'' when he's killed.
* FailedASpotCheck: For RuleOfFunny. He didn't see Teddy standing ''right in front of him'' when he was riding the [=DenLiner=].
* LastVillainStand: Momo tries to talk him into abandoning the Onigashima battleship when it's on the brink of destruction, but Goldra refuses, resulting in a final skirmish between the two.
* VillainousBreakdown: Goes ''completely'' berserk when his brother's killed.
* WouldHurtAChild: Like his brother, he tried to hurt Yu but Toki [[TakingTheBullet took the hit]].
