!! Emu Hojo/Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
!!! Portrayed by Hiroki Ijima (live), Satoshi Fujita ([=LV1=] suit), Seiji Takaiwa ([=LV2=] suit)
[[quoteright:204:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emuhosho.jpg]]
\\
The main protagonist of the series. A video game expert currently at an internship in the pediatric department of the Seito University Hospital, he is given the Gamer Driver by Asuna Karino in order to cure patients infected by the Bugster's virus as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. He is actually the genius gamer "M", a legend in the gaming community.
----
* ButtMonkey: At the start of the series, he's disrespected by his patients and the hospital nurses, considered a flake by everyone else.
* CatchPhrase: "Let's clear this with no continues!"
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Emu isn't taken very seriously by his patients and is often the butt of jokes. However, when he plays video games, he becomes incredibly competent. This carries over to him as Ex-Aid and shows why he is a good choice for the Gamer Driver. There's a reason he's called the genius gamer.
* {{Expy}}:
** He's basically [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Eiji Hino]] as a pediatrician. His looks would remind you of [[Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger Yamato]] if he became a doctor than a zoologist.
** Also a LighterAndSofter version of [[Manga/YuGiOh Dark Yugi]], [[LightNovel/NoGameNoLife Sora]], and [[LightNovel/NoGameNoLife Shiro]].
** Being a avid video gamer, Emu is basically a {{gender flip}}ped version of [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2 Chiaki]] [[Anime/DanganRonpa3 Nanami]].
* TheIntern: Emu is a pediatrician resident at the Seito University Hospital.
* IOweYouMyLife: A flashback showed that he was hospitalized as a kid, but a doctor saved him and gave him a UsefulNotes/WonderSwan. It inspired him to be a doctor and a gamer and holds saving lives dearly, as he feels it is his turn to pay back.
* TheKlutz: Seems to be prone in injuring himself, like falling down or being stepped upon by other people.
* MeaningfulName: "Emu" is spelt with characters for "eternal dream"; appropriate for someone who spends a lot of his time immersed in virtual worlds. And when you pronounce it quickly, it sounds like "M", which is his game persona.
* SplitPersonality: There's a distinct difference between his doctor-self and his gamer-self. He's a bit clumsy but well-meaning as a doctor, but he becomes eager and confident as the legendary gamer M. He even [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns changes pronouns]][[note]]From a boyish "Boku" to a more masculine "Ore"[[/note]]!

* AnimeHair: Ex-Aid proudly sports a set of spiky pink hair on his helmet.
* DropTheHammer: Uses his Gashacon Breaker in hammer mode quite extensively.
* FinishingMove: His [[DivingKick Rider Kick]], known as ''Mighty Critical Strike''.
* HealingShiv: He heals patients of the Bugster virus by whacking'n'slashing the infection out of the patient. And they actually call this an "operation".
* MeaningfulName: The "ex" in Ex-Aid's name stands for "extreme". So his full Rider name would be "Extreme Aid". Fitting, as he's curing the Bugster virus first via a hammer on a cellular level and then by kicking them into oblivion.
* PlatformGame: The main motif of Ex-Aid's Level 2 form.
* PowerFist: His left-hand turns into one in his Level 3 form, the Robot Action Gamer.
* RealMenWearPink: Ex-Aid's main color is pink.

* InSeriesNickname: "The Super Surgeon who Never Fails"
* MeaningfulName: "Kagami" means mirror, with is supposed to represent how different he is from Emu. "Hiiro", of course, is "hero", which fits which his RPG protagonist-inspired Rider form.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted in a strange coincidence as there was an [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto another Kagami who also was a blue secondary Rider]].
* SweetTooth: Has a penchant for cakes and sweets.
!!! Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Brave

* CombatPragmatist: Taiga is described as the dirtiest player in the game.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Because of as yet unrevealed circumstances, he had his medical licence revoked and was forbidden from fighting as a Rider.
* {{Expy}}:
** He's an unlicensed doctor, similar to [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Kaoru Kino/Another Agito.]]
** His skunk stripe and the fact that he's an unlicensed doctor also makes him similar to Manga/BlackJack.
* FingerGun: As befitting of his Rider motif, he does this to Emu from afar after watching his first fight as Ex-Aid.
* RedBaron: His nickname is the "Dark Doctor".
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: How Taiga managed to get his Driver and Gashat even though he was already forbidden from fighting as a Rider, he bought them directly from Dan Kuroto.

----
* CoolBike: And unusually for Kamen Rider, it's a ''BMX Bike''. [[LethalJokeItem He can still kick ass with it, though.]]
* {{Expy}}: Like [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Proto-Drive]], Genm is a darker-colored prototype version of the brighter-colored main rider.
* PaletteSwap: His Level 2 form is a black and purple version of Ex-Aid. Makes sense, given that his Gashat is a prototype of Mighty Action X
* PurpleIsPowerful: Genm has purple details on his suit

----
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: While we haven't seen much of him, the fact that he would ''sold'' a Gamer Driver, a device of extraordinary power that could spell disaster if it falls into the wrong hands, to someone as shifty as Taiga Hanaya, point to him being one.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets very little spotlight in the episode he debuts, and before he can do anything ''really'' nasty, he gets Rider Kick'ed by Ex-Aid. The amount of lines he has can be counted on one hand!
