https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ohsugi_sensei.png
Ohsugi
  • Lesser Gods together, but individually they're Demigods (Ohsugi is a Quasideity), Miu, Shun and JK are lesser gods when in their Dizer units, and Yuki was a Lesser Goddess as Gemini Zodiarts.
  • Symbol: Together: The Kamen Rider Club Flag. Individually:
    • Kengo: The Core Switch
    • Yuki: Her Hayabusa Plushie
    • Miu: A poster of herself superimposed with a speech bubble that says "Oops!"
    • JK: His signature hand gesture—his arms crossed and the hands forming a 'J' and 'K'
    • Shun: His Power Dizer unit
    • Tomoko: A rabbit head with bleeding eyes
    • Chuta: His suspenders
  • Theme Song: Switch On! (shared with Gentaro), Giant Step beltless edit
  • Leitmotif: Kamen Rider Club (together),
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (JK can be Chaotic Neutral sometimes, Ohsugi was originally Stupid Good, and Yuki had a brief stint as Chaotic Evil as Gemini Zodiarts)
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: High School, Space, Friendship, Tokusatsu, Heroism, Teachers (Ohsugi only)
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Every evil-aligned Kamen Rider villain, the House of Villainy, Nightmare Moon, all evil deities in the House of Hatred (particularly the Anti-Spiral)
  • Conflicting Opinions:
  • Pities: Jay Gatsby (for JK)
  • Before Gentaro Kisaragi came into the picture, everyone had their separate cliques and had nothing in common: Yuki worked with Kengo to continue his father's fight against the Zodiarts, JK was having parties, Tomoko was alone and idolizing Kamen Riders, Shun and Miu were King and Queen of Amanogawa High and Ohsugi was...well, Ohsugi. It was when Gentaro Kisaragi came forth, obtaining the powers of Kamen Rider Fourze that they slowly banded together and became the "Kamen Rider Club" (thanks to Tomoko's suggestion). As Zodiarts kept attacking others due to their faults and Gentaro befriended them, the Kamen Rider Club slowly came into fruition with Ohsugi stepping in to be make said club "official". Together, they work to help Gentaro (and later Ryusei Sakuta) fight off the forces of evil.
  • The members of the Kamen Rider Club originally had temples spread out throughout the Pantheon, until Miu learned that the School Club Front trope was not taken and thus rallied the Club members to form a temple in the House of School where she used to reside, and even made it replicate the Rabbit Hatch, their old clubhouse. Once their temple was built, they were met with Gentaro Kisaragi and Ryusei Sakuta celebrating that the Kamen Rider Club was fully formed and now they could go help befriend others and fight alongside their idols. The party that was held was incredibly loud and crowded with their friends celebrating their ascension.
  • The group were absolutely excited to find the Kamen Riders they idolized in the Pantheon, going as far as to dress up in homemade costumes of the Riders they were named after while Ohsugi was just amazed to find out that the Kamen Riders were pretty cool guys. The Kamen Riders themselves are honored by the teens optimism and energy to help others, especially since it's because of their friendship that helps Gentaro and Ryusei become protectors of justice (especially Ryusei as they were displeased to learn how Ryusei killed Gentaro to save his best friend).
    • Daisuke Yamamoto/Kamen Rider Amazon is shown to be the closest to the group, mostly because he actively went to Gentaro with a new Astroswitch for him that crash landed in his territory and Yuki and Kengo spent twelve days lost in the rain forest trying to find him when he hadn't arrived with said Astroswitch. The two Kamen Riders celebrated by showing their signs of friendship.
  • Access to their temple is through an old locker that leads into a gateway that is on the moon. It is there that the Kamen Rider Club introduces new members with a heart-felt talk and a handshake.
  • Since they share the same creator, the Kamen Rider Club also are close allies to Dai-Gurren Lagann and thus downright hate the Anti-Spiral and its associates.
  • Being a fan of Toku heroes, Nyarko has shown to be very interested in the Kamen Rider Club since, after all, they're friends of two Kamen Riders that she's fans of! She's slightly (emphasis on "slightly") jealous of Tomoko being the girlfriend of a Kamen Rider, and the two get along well since they both believe that Kamen Riders are paragons of justice and heroism. The same goes for Yayoi Kise, who has immediately begun to draw fanart of the Kamen Rider Club when they ascended.
  • The group gets along well with Twilight Sparkle and her circle of friends, and they all believe that "Friendship is Magic". They get along splendidly like so:
    • For Princess Luna, they were shocked to learn about her becoming Nightmare Moon and trapped in the moon for a whole millennia. Kengo has now noted that nearly being trapped on the Rabbit Hatch for a few hours is nothing to a thousand years while becoming possessed by a dark force that wanted the Night...to last...FOREVER!. Tomoko likes Princess Luna for being a Nightmare Fetishist (she wants a cape made of bats!) and for her Dream Walker abilities.
    • Rarity gets along splendidly with Miu—they both have elitist attitudes, but their hearts are in the right places. Seeing as Miu would become a fashion model, Rarity is now working on designing some outfits for the cheerleader and thinks that she and Shun are a great power couple.
    • The Kamen Rider Club have sympathized with Sunset Shimmer and have stated that what she's done now has made her past pretty much forgotten. Ohsugi also agrees that Sunset is a great example of a former bad student turning good.
    • Twilight Sparkle hangs out with them and shares all of her friendship lessons she's learned and have asked the Kamen Rider Club if they can do a class about friendship. They've agreed and are happy to write down their own friendship journal about their experiences.
    • While they're weary about Discord, they support Fluttershy's idea of giving him friendship as it is similar to what Gentaro would do. JK of all people, agrees with it since without Gentaro coming to befriend him, he'd be dead right now.
  • They were horrified to learn of a timeline that appeared if no Zodiarts came about, but relaxed a little since they still became friends despite the threats of monsters not appearing at all.
  • The Kamen Rider Club was not happy to see Bayley's Face–Heel Turn with her excuse that she's being loyal to her close friend Sasha Banks — even if Gentaro was known to be an idiot, he wasn't that stupid to being loyal to someone who was clearly toxic (with JK, the wild-card of the group stating that he wouldn't take it that far). Thankfully Steven Universe found K.O. to be a replacement until Bayley came to her senses and the young hero in training has been a delight.
  • Exclusive to Kengo:
    • Kengo Utahoshi was the son of famous astronomer Rokuro Utahoshi, who was tasked with a strange Astroswitch that turned a locker in the school into a portal to the Rabbit Hatch, a base on the moon. He and Yuki worked together to monitor Zodiarts activity and he was supposed to be Kamen Rider Foruze. Except, he was chroniclly ill and thus unable to transform, leaving it to Gentaro to fight with Kengo giving advice and preparing other Astroswitches on the side. As Gentaro invited more and more people into the Kamen Rider Club — which he denied — it took one incident when the locker leading to the Rabbit Hatch was destroyed, stranding him on the moon, that made him realize that he really wanted the companionship. After the mistake was resolved — turns out it was the wrong locker the entire time thanks to Ohsugi believing Yuki's lie that the locker belonged to his crush Sarina Sonada (don't ask) — Kengo finally cemented his friendship with the Kamen Rider Club by planting the club's flag on the moon and doing Gentaro's handshake.
    • Kengo has befriended various gods in the House of Technology due to him being the one creating all of the Astroswitches for Fourze to use. That said he has an absolute distaste for Ryoma Sengoku and his evil ways (particularly for how he vivisected Mai Takatsukasa)
    • He's apparently good at playing the drums, although he admits that he's not good enough to compete with some of the other drummers in the Pantheon.
    • He is nicknamed "King of the Infirmary" because he keeps constantly getting sick. He no longer has to deal with this but the joke still appears every time he's in the House of Health and Diseases.
    • Kengo has actually befriended Astral because Kengo actually is somewhat of an alien; in reality, he was formed when Rokuro touched the Core Switch and was tasked by the Presenters (creators of the switch) to go meet them once he absorbed Cosmic Energy. However, just before he could do so he was killed off. Thankfully he was resurrected and he and Astral muse about the friends they made and adventures they had.
  • Exclusive to Yuki:
    • Yuki Jojima is Gentaro's Childhood Friend who, one day, was told by a voice from space to go out there. Only Gentaro believed her and when he moved away with his grandfather, Yuki created some space tickets as a promise that they'd go to space together. She also has very...eccentric parents. How eccentric? Well, you know how Chiyoko Shirashi likes to cosplay her restaurant with a new theme? Take that and double it (it doesn't help that Chiyoko is confused how Yuki's dad looks eerily similar to someone known as Dr. Maki that she was acquainted with).
    • Due to her dream of becoming of astronaut, Yuki has become good friends with Shima Katase who is a student at a space academy. She also goes to the House of Time and Space as a babysitter for Rosalina's Lumas. She has learned her lesson on bringing Gentaro there—the last time that Rosalina told them of her backstory, Gentaro cried so long that the Lumas were throwing away buckets of used tissues. She also became good friends with Danny Fenton, as he dreamed of being an astronaut before the accident that gave him his ghost powers although the two have a laugh at how Danny doesn't have to worry about oxygen problems in his ghost form.
    • And when she's not studying or hanging out with the Kamen Rider Club, she has a tendency to try to shove her space-related books in the Library all while wearing a space-shuttle hat. She's been kicked out many times but still keeps coming back. She also has a tendency to entertain child gods by dressing up in a homemade costume of a Hayabusa satellite and sing her song about said satellite.
    • Somehow befriended Touka Kirishima after the former heard Yuki sing her "Hayabusa" song. This is due to the fact that they look similar in a way. Yuki has felt pity for poor Touka over her Ghoul-like state, while Touka has comforted Yuki over the Gemini Zodiarts incident. It's through Touka that Yuki befriended Ken Kameki too.
    • After coming to terms with her stint as Gemini Zodiarts, Yuki decided to head to the TV World (alongside the Investigation Team and Gentaro) to face herself. The mission was a success although she is unable to use the Persona unless in the TV World. She's fine with it as long as she's moved on from the trauma.
    • Out of all the Kamen Rider Club members, Yuki doesn't stay here often. Aside from her work in space, there's also some...controversy about her being part of a cult. Regardless, the Kamen Rider Club consider her a friend and hope that she's doing okay for herself.
  • Exclusive to Miu:
    • Miu is the Queen of Amanogawa High and immediately looked down on Gentaro and called him "Trashiest of Trash" (in English, and Gentaro, the idiot as he was, thought she called him "Manliest of Men"). Surrounded by fans and deriding anyone who would ever try to take her title, she was assaulted by an invisible attacker who also showed footage of her berating all the gifts that her fans gave her. Her popularity dwindled, and Gentaro was also trying to befriend her. Then, after Miu was attacked — the attacker being a member of her Girl Posse who was envious of Miu being queen year after year — she stood up for herself with a passionate speech to not waste time fawning over her and instead get yourself working, before becoming Gentaro's friend. She won the title once again and Gentaro, due to a bet they made earlier, had to bring her to the Rabbit Hatch where she quickly became the Kamen Rider Club's president.
    • Don't let Miu's elitist attitude fool you: while she may be annoyed when followers give gifts, she explains that 1) the followers who gave her the gifts didn't tune it to her tastes and 2) she has no time for praising and being fawned over. She got to where she was just by working hard, and those who work hard deserve to rise to the top. This is one of the big reasons that she absolutely despises Libby Chessler. In fact, when Libby tried to condemn Gentaro by calling him "Trashiest of Trash", Miu's response was simply this:
    Miu: I wonder if that means "Manliest of Men".
    • Due to leading a Girl Posse in the past, Miu is shown to be friendly with The Ashleys. The four Ashleys have nothing but respect for Miu's rise as Queen with nothing but her hard work and determination and think that her dancing with Gentaro at the prom was absolutely "Scandalous!" Miu has decided to mentor them—if only so that they don't end up becoming like Libby in the future.
    • She's actually well acquainted with various cheerleaders in the Pantheon like Kim Possible and Juliet Starling, but admits that if she got into a fight with them, it would be heavily one-sided. Thankfully she's been getting extra training in that regard, particularly with rifles, and building up her endurance so she can power her Queen Dizer mecha. Miu finds Kim's relationship with Ron to be adorable...but she's honestly unsure about the idea of having to cut Shun's head off and strap it to her side (and Shun went catatonic when he heard about that story).
    • Spends lots of time in the House of Costumes because of her being a successful fashion model in the future.
  • Exclusive to JK:
    • JK (pronounced like "Jake") is known for his parties he calls "JK Night" that he throws in the House of Celebration from time to time. Pinkie Pie has decided to combine her parties with him (and it helps that she has a temple in that House). He's also in the midst of bringing up his old radio show known as "DJ Gene's Carnival", but has learned his lesson on trying to trample on his friends for stardom. This has made him very wary Ember McLain now as her powers on the guitar and Mind-Control Music heavily reminded him of his former friend/Capricorn Zodiarts. To think that his inability to sing would actually be useful around her...
      • Princess Giselle was quite different as while people spontaneously dance and sing when they're around her, it's not out of any malice at all. Still, JK would rather not get part in any musical sequence.
    • He also hates any and all Dirty Cowards and those who would use someone as a Human Shield as it reminds him of what happened during the Monceros Zodiarts incidentnote  He states that if it wasn't for Gentaro coming for him, he'd be a goner (and this was after JK set him up to be killed by said Zodiarts, mind you).
    • Feels sorry for Jay Gatsby as they have similarities (being rich and throwing wild parties but also feeling empty inside, the difference is that Jay throws parties in order to attract an old flame of his whereas JK does it in an attempt to live out his dreams of being a famous rockstar). JK is willing to be Gatsby's friend to help him ease his loneliness. Gentaro approved of the idea and after a party at Gatsby's house, Jay has shown to be quite thankful for it all.
    • When Yuya Sakaki and the other Dimensional Counterparts befriended the Kamen Rider Club, it was JK who was the one who decided to be the first to extend a friendship to Yuri even before Gentaro could approach him. Yuri was flabbergasted to see the party guy do such a thing, but JK reasoned that the two were not so different: they were absolute pricks to everyone else who didn't understand what friendship was and were shown to be lonely despite having it all (Yuri and his dueling compared to JK and his party lifestyle). JK then stated that if Gentaro could befriend someone like himself, surely JK could become Yuri's friend. Despite the oddness, Yuri accepted JK's proposal...followed by Gentaro hugging the two while crying Manly Tears.
    • For anyone who wishes to know about his past, JK's father used to be a talented musician, but something happened that caused him to retire and become a fisherman. What that something is, JK refuses to answer.
    • If one has obtained his friendship, JK will sign a JK Night poster by his true name Kaizou Jingu.
  • Exclusive to Shun:
    • Shun Daimonji was the quarterback for Amanogawa High's football team. Was known to be quite a jerk and demeaned his fellow football players (one of them becoming the Orion Zodiarts) and gained an irrational hatred of Fourze to the point that he clonked Fourze with a football just as the Kamen Rider was about to defeat a Zodiarts. It took a question from Gentaro in regards to how Shun relied on his father's words to dictate his life that had Shun exclaim despite everything he did — being the quarterback, dating Miu to be a power couple, and benching the guy who would become that Orion Zodiarts — that he hated it deep down, wanted to be friends and broke down questioning if it was wrong to ask such a thing. Gentaro quickly replied that it wasn't and that set Shun on the path to become the new Power Dizer pilot — as Kengo was unable to do it due to his illness and the one time Miu did it, she was already exhausted — and join the fight to stop the Zodiarts.
    • Shun absolutely hates bullies as it reminds him of nothing more of himself when he had to follow his father's words for everything: his play-style in football, having to date Miu due to her status as Queen, deciding who to bench, etc. And trying to hurt women, Miu specifically? Well, good luck trying to run from a rampaging Shun in the Power Dizer.
    • Hates, hates hates Jerid Messa—to him, Jerid has no excuse of Just Following Orders to cover up for the despicable things he's done, and makes what Shun did under his father seem like child's play.
    • Is known for his signature tackle so he's become friends with Roman Reigns who is well known for his Spear (helps that Roman was also a football player before he turned into wrestling). On the other hand, Shun is wary on Edge because of Edge's tendency to being "The Ultimate Opportunist" although he's amazed to see his friendship with Christian goes way back. He has also decided to not ask why both wrestlers had a "Gothic lifestyle"/pseudo-vampire history with Gangrel.
      • However, upon Roman's return and teaming up with slimeball manager, Paul Heyman, Shun has basically cut ties with the Powerhouse. He learned of the struggles of Mokuba Kaiba — who has seen every Shield member who has been a Big Brother Mentor to him turn Heel — and decided that he'll pick up where they left off. Mokuba was hesitant at this, not wanting his hopes crushed over and over again, so Shun asked Gentaro to take Mokuba to the Rabbit Hatch (read: Fourze used the Rocket module to literally fly him to the House of School and shove him into a locker), don an astronaut suit and then have a heart to heart chat on the moon. Mokuba cried for a while over all his fears, but the two were patient with him, and it ended with Mokuba doing Gentaro's handsake on the moon with both Gentaro and Shun. For this, Kaiba has put more respect on the quarterback (but is also making sure that Shun better not betray his brother for this).
  • Exclusive to Tomoko:
    • Tomoko Nozama was an introverted girl who was known for two things: one, being a fan of Kamen Riders (she was the one who made Gentaro create the Kamen Rider Club) and two, her creepiness and Gothic tendencies. It was due to the latter that she felt ostracized and joined a group known as the "Lunar Witches" in order to escape, to the point that she was one step away from becoming a Zodiarts herself. It took Gentaro practically dragging Tomoko to the moon via the Rabbit Hatch and a heart-to-heart with the other members of the Club (who took some potshots on themselves) that a weird gothic girl like her was quite normal. With this in mind, Tomoko left the Lunar Witches and chucked her Zodiarts Switch into a river.
    • Tomoko is said to have some sort of "sixth sense", but it varies. Kengo concludes that it only picks up when it comes to Cosmic Energy-related investigations. And while she is into witchcraft and magic, she is not willing to give her soul up to Kyubey and thinks that being a Zodiarts would be better than becoming a witch in that sense. She also dislikes Homura Akemi due to how obsessed she became to protect Madoka stating that she'd never go that far for Ryusei.
    • Due to being the former goddess of Perky Goth, she still has her friendship with fellow Goth Girls Sam Manson and Lydia Deetz. She's also very fond of Princess Luna's love of the macabre and finds Luna Vachon to be a really interesting sister figure for accepting her freakiness and not wanting to be like everyone else. She was absolutely saddened on learning of Luna Vachon's death (via accidental drug overdose) and is happy that she at least got to ascend with her ex-husband, especially when she heard that 'Grel still loved her, but had to go through with the divorce or else they'd end up killing one another. Luna Vachon, in return, thinks that Tomoko's relationship with Ryusei is absolutely adorable and hopes that the two have a better life than she had.
    • She also has a weird tendency to dump natto onto other people's food—particularly if the god in question is eating fried shrimp. She once did this to Judai Yuki who actually stated that it was delicious. She's also curious about his Supreme King side but also doesn't know what to say about Yubel except that she isn't that crazy over Ryusei (okay, supernatural charms and curses aside). That said, she's going to join up with the GUAG Special Lovers Squad when all is said and done.
    • Should not be confused with the black haired Tomoko Kuroki, but the two of them also felt ostracized at the beginning before obtaining friends. When the two are together, they go by their last names.
    • One of Tomoko's secrets is that she actually likes insects. So she sometimes goes to the House of Insects to explore it. She's hoping to become a partner with an Insect Pokémon in the future. It's through this that she somehow became friends with Guzma, who was also an outcast that seemed to never measure up.
  • Exclusive to Ohsugi:
    • Chuta Ohsugi was a teacher at Amanogawa High who was, quite frankly, absolutely pathetic in terms of Zodiarts attacks and always harangued on Gentaro's case for the pettiest of reasons (particularly Gentaro's delinquent attire, because it wasn't the standard uniform though the handbook states that the uniform was recommended, not required). Things took a bad turn when an accidental phone call from Yuki Jojima lead Ohsugi into the Rabbit Hatch, and he would've gone to the Principal (Kouhei Hayaji aka Libra Zodiarts!) to shut it down, with an Astroswitch as evidence. However, as fate would have it, Ohsugi was there when Fourze had to fight Musca Zodiarts and he did the right thing by tossing the Astroswitch so Fourze could defeat it. Then, after a long time thinking it over, Ohsugi stated that since the Kamen Rider Club had no advisor, he would become theirs. Teachers were supposed to protect their students, and so he would come and protect them. With this, Ohsugi became an official member of the Kamen Rider Club.
    • Ohsugi has a bit of a habit that whenever he starts rambling on, everyone seems to have vanished when he finishes talking. Many gods are also wondering how he of all teachers at Amanogawa High became the one to mentor the Kamen Rider Club, particularly when he nearly caused Kengo to be stuck on the Moon during the Pyxis Zodiarts incident due to Yuki trying to distract him from the locker that lead to the Rabbit Hatch. He apologized to Kengo for nearly causing the boy to die alone when he heard the truth. And since that all happened because of his crush with a Sensei-chan named Sarina Sonada, after he learned the truth about her, he's made it clear that he no longer has feelings for her. He's struck a friendship with Yoshinoya-sensei and notes that, compared to Sonada, she's relatively normal.
      • After learning the truth of the Zodiarts, he makes it clear that he's no Sadist Teacher: the likes of Agatha Trunchbull and Denzel Q. Crocker disgust him—sure he was annoyed by Gentaro's delinquent attire and friendly attitude but Ohsugi is not a monster in any sense of the word!
    • Was absolutely overjoyed when he learned where the Kamen Rider Club ended up in the future but he was much more was amazed to learn that Gentaro would become a teacher, of all things!
    • According to his horoscope, he's a Scorpio. But make no mistake he's no monster (he realized the irony that his crush was the Scorpio Zodiarts).
  • "We won't bow down to you [Kamen Rider Meteor before he turned good]. We're the Kamen Rider Club." — Miu
