List of Kamen Rider Fourze characters
Kamen Rider Fourze (仮面ライダーフォーゼ Kamen Raidā Fōze) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Kamen Rider Series, written by Kazuki Nakashima. Transfer student Gentaro Kisaragi transforms into the titular hero Kamen Rider Fourze to battle the constellation-themed monsters called Zodiarts.
The main setting of the series is the fictional Amanogawa High School (天ノ川学園高校 Amanogawa Gakuen Kōkō, AGHS),[Note 1] the school where the main characters attend along with many unique characters.
Kamen Rider Club
The Kamen Rider Club (仮面ライダー部 Kamen Raidā Bu) is a club that Gentaro Kisaragi forms to gain new friends at Amanogawa High School, named after Fourze's predecessors: the various Kamen Riders. The club's members assist Kamen Rider Fourze in his battles against the Zodiarts.[1][2] In addition, they investigate the urban legends that surround the existence of the past Kamen Riders.[3][4] The Kamen Rider Club's headquarters are the remains of the Rabbit Hatch (ラビットハッチ Rabitto Hatchi) lunar base owned by the Outer Space Technology Organization (外宇宙技術開発機構 Gai Uchū Gijutsu Kaihatsu Kikō, OSTO) which developed the Kamen Rider Fourze technology and the Zodiarts Switches. The Rabbit Hatch can be accessed by a Cosmic Energy (コズミックエナジー Kozumikku Enajī) powered portal found in a locker in an abandoned part of the AGHS campus. In episode 11, the locker that connects the Rabbit Hatch is removed from the abandoned club room, leaving Kengo stranded on the Moon, and it is later seemingly destroyed by the Pyxis Zodiarts. However, it is successfully recovered by Tomoko after she discovers that Mr. Ohsugi took the real locker for himself after believing Yuki's lie about it being Ms. Sonoda's locker while she was a student. They proceed to permanently secure the locker in place with screws to prevent it from ever being easily moved away again. Tomoko even sets up various magical charms around the locker for additional "protection." At the end of the series, the Rabbit Hatch is destroyed in an attack by the Leo Zodiarts and Sagittarius Nova. After Sagittarius Nova's defeat, the Kamen Rider Club reinvents itself in the series epilogue as the Earth-based Space Kamen Rider Club.
The television series' producer Hideaki Tsukuda initially planned on including the various past Kamen Riders into the series to commemorate the Kamen Rider Series' 40th anniversary. However, with Kamen Rider Decade having aired recently, this idea was changed into the appreciation of the previous Kamen Riders in their form as urban legends in Japan.[5]
Gentaro Kisaragi
Gentaro Kisaragi (如月 弦太朗 Kisaragi Gentarō) is a second-year, later third-year, student at Amanogawa High School, who has a bad-boy image but seeks to make friends with those he meets at the school by forming the Kamen Rider Club. When he meets Kengo Utahoshi, it starts the chain of events leading to him becoming Kamen Rider Fourze (仮面ライダーフォーゼ Kamen Raidā Fōze).
Gentaro Kisaragi is portrayed by Sota Fukushi (福士 蒼汰 Fukushi Sōta). As a child, Gentaro is portrayed by Tatsuki Ishikawa (石川 樹 Ishikawa Tatsuki).
Kengo Utahoshi
Kengo Utahoshi (歌星 賢吾 Utahoshi Kengo) is a second-year and Gentaro's partner who is also very level-headed and intelligent. However, he has a strange medical condition that causes sharp pains whenever he overexerts himself. A year prior to the series' start, Kengo receives an anonymous letter along with an Astroswitch. The portal connecting to the Rabbit Hatch lunar base, which is all that remains of the OSTO complex on the moon, is opened in a locker in an abandoned club activity room when Kengo just so happens to throw the activated Switch inside. Inside the base, he discovers existence of the Zodiarts and Astroswitches, motivating him to follow through with his father's plans to fight the menace that is to come. Though he originally intends to fight the Zodiarts on his own, his physique is so weak that even manning the Powerdizer exo-suit for extended periods is an extremely difficult task for him. He is forced to give Gentaro the means to become Kamen Rider Fourze and aid the Kamen Rider by providing him with his arsenal as well as acting as Gentaro's tactician. However, Kengo does not acknowledge the existence of the Kamen Rider Club and refuses to be a member of the club. He later changes his mind when he is trapped on the moon due to the mistaken actions of Mr. Ohsugi, and becomes Gentaro's friend and an official member of the club. Though Gentaro's antics still irk him somewhat, he is later seen to be more willing to put up with Gentaro's seemingly stupid plans as he proceeds to create more Astro Switches for him to use.
In his third year, having finished the Cosmic Switch, Kengo learns that Tachibana is the one who gave him the Gate Switch as he begins to learn more of his father from Emoto and Gamou during his trip to Kyoto. Eventually, Kengo learns that Emoto is both the Virgo Zodiarts and Tachibana as he reveals to the boy the full story behind his father's death and that the Horoscopes must be stopped from having all twelve switches. During the incident with the Gemini Zodiarts that followed, Gamou noticed a power emitting from Kengo. From the contents of Emoto's flash drive, Kengo learns of his true nature as the Core Child (コアチャイルド Koa Chairudo), a physical construct made of Cosmic Energy from within the Core Switch which the Presenters sent to OSTO to prove humanity's worth to contact them. However, only his adopted father Rokuro Utahoshi knew the truth with Kuniteru Emoto, who regretted his role, bringing Kengo to Earth. He uses this newfound knowledge to awaken his powers to negate the 12 Horoscopes Switches, thwarting Gamou's plan to seek the Presenter. However, becoming emotionless to make his next action less painful as he can now use the Fourze Driver, Kengo reveals his true nature to his friends in the Kamen Rider Club that he must leave Earth to present what he have learned to the Presenters' home world. However, Gentaro sees through Kengo's facade and convinces him that he is still a person while promising him that they would meet again. Unfortunately, refusing to left him leave the Milky Way, Kengo's departure is interfered by Gamou assuming his Sagittarius Nova form to knock the youth down and destroy the Core Switch, causing Kengo's body to dissolve into particles of light. However, on the verge of death, Gamou uses the Aquarius Switch's power to repair the Core Switch and bring Kengo back to life.
Kengo is named after Kamen Rider 1, also known as Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛 Hongō Takeshi); うたほしけんご（歌星賢吾） is an anagram of ほんごうたけし（本郷猛）.[6]

Yuki Jojima
Yuki Jojima (城島 ユウキ Jōjima Yūki) is a second-year student and is Gentaro's childhood friend with a bright and cheerful personality who cares deeply for her friends. As a child, Yuki heard a voice from the stars which influenced her with the desire to become an astronaut. Since then, Yuki became what she refers to as a "space otaku", called a "geek" by everyone else, with her dream motivating her reasons for attending Amanogawa High and occasionally going to the JAXA building after school. She is a friend of Kengo's, meeting him on the day he found the Rabbit Hatch out of her interest to know his father better, and has since supported him in his activities in preparation for the Zodiarts' appearance. She plays a role in Gentaro becoming Fourze and allows Kengo to let Gentaro help them, becoming one of the founding members of the Kamen Rider Club.
During her third-year, Yuki became the Kamen Rider Club's new president after Miu graduated and is capable of leading the club with her ingenuity though Miu's return as the club's chairwoman makes Yuki a figurehead leader. Yuki also has a plushy satellite toy she affectionately calls "Hayabusa", which seems have a different facial expressions depending on the situation. During the incident with the Gemini Zodiarts, an embodiment of her darkness who ruins her life, Yuki finds herself ceasing to be before Gentaro saves her.

Miu Kazashiro
Miu Kazashiro (風城 美羽 Kazashiro Miu) is a cocky third-year, later graduate, student who comes from an upper-class family. She is also the head cheerleader and has been elected the "Queen of the School" (学園の女王 Gakuen no Joō) for having won the yearly Queen Festival (クイーンフェス Kuīn Fesu) two years in a row putting a lot of effort and hard work into getting where she is now, and has a large number of fans. Among her philosophies as queen, Miu believes that she needs to know everything that occurs within the school grounds. Though she is well loved by many in school, Miu has a sense of superiority over the student body and sees those who are infatuated with her to be nothing but leeches, as to her, they only leech onto her for their own failure to shine. She takes an immediate dislike to Gentaro and calls him trash when she first meets him. This mentality is later used against her by her sidekick Tamae Sakuma during this year's Queen Festival, as Tamae had secretly recorded Miu destroying her adoring public's gifts and have the video played in front of the entire student body. Humbled, and with Gentaro's help, Miu is reminded of her passion and returns to competing in the Festival despite the odds against her. Soon after, she accepts Gentaro's hand in friendship and manages to win the Queen Festival yet again and keep her title, as well as the love of the student body in general with a powerful speech about working hard to shine with one's own power. Soon after, as her way to let Gentaro off the hook on the bet they made prior to the contest, Miu has him bring her to the Rabbit Hatch. Miu is made a member of the Kamen Rider Club, much to Yuki's chagrin when Miu announces that she is the club president. The position fits her well as she is a born leader and capable of being level-headed under crisis, even more so than Kengo himself, shown where she is capable of keeping cool and speak confidently even when a Zodiarts is terrorizing the place around her, and when she stops Yuki from revealing details about their club to save Kengo when he got trapped on the moon, never forgetting that their primary role is to stop the Zodiarts. These traits make her the team's de facto leader, as she is constantly seen mobilizing the team and help directing strategies and actions alongside Kengo. While she keeps her elitist attitude (used more towards a comedic effect), she also becomes genuinely more caring towards others, especially with her fellow Kamen Rider Club Members and would go to lengths for their sake, even if it means doing field work and getting herself really dirty. Miu has a strange habit of saying "oops" when making a mistake or if something strange happens.
Realizing that she and Shun would soon be graduating, she contemplates her activities in the Kamen Rider Club and chooses Yuki to be the next president when she is gone. After seeing the work she has put into the group when finding out about the Coma Zodiarts, she realizes not only has she made the right choice, but that she would soon leave the club seeing how everyone can handle themselves without her. Upsetting herself over this, she directs her fury at Shun who desperately attempts to ask her out to prom when she wants to ask Gentaro, instead. She gets her wish to dance with Gentaro due to Shun's insistence and realizes that though she is leaving the high school, she will always be a part of the Kamen Rider Club. After graduating, she finds out that her college is close to AGHS so she can continue her Kamen Rider Club activities as chairwoman. This effectively returns the leadership of the club to her, and thus rendering Yuki's appointment moot and the "Club President" title rendered empty. In the end, Shun proposes to her but is soon enamored by a ring from a mysterious man.
Miu is named after Kamen Rider V3, also known as Shiro Kazami (風見 志郎 Kazami Shirō); かざしろみう（風城美羽） is an anagram of かざみしろう（風見志郎）.[6]
Miu Kazashiro is portrayed by Rikako Sakata (坂田 梨香子 Sakata Rikako).
JK
Kaizo Jingu (神宮 海蔵 Jingū Kaizō), known better by his nickname JK (JK（ジェイク） Jeiku, pronounced as "Jake"), is student who has a gaudy appearance and acts as an information broker to other students, but he only trades secrets for favors. However, he is known to be a coward as he constantly flees from difficult situations. Prior to attending AGHS, JK had dreams of becoming a rock musician like his father since he was a child and formed a rock band with Tojiro Goto called Gene Goto. However, while in middle school, JK was forced to give up on his dream upon learning that he lacks the vocal talent for it. During his first year in AGHS, JK learned of Gentaro's identity as Kamen Rider Fourze, agreeing to keep his mouth shut about it prior to talking Gentaro into protecting him from Fumihiro Nitta, a student he wronged by tricking him into being his bodyguard. Seeing the power of the Astroswitches in action personally, JK arranges the theft of the Elek Switch from Gentaro to teach him a lesson in trusting people, as well as to have him stick around in case Nitta comes for him again. However, once found out, JK is held captive by Nitta who allows him to call for help on the promise to release him if even one of his associates came to his aid. Though none came, Gentaro arrived to save JK despite his betrayal. The experience Gentaro learned from befriending someone like JK, to both the pros and cons of a person, allows him to assume Elek States. After JK learns what friendship really means, he is made a member of the Kamen Rider Club and uses his connections to aid the group in identifying Zodiarts' Switchers and their targets through his connections.When Miu and Shun graduate, JK is named the new pilot of the Powerdizer through process of elimination (Kengo and Ryusei are tech support and Yuki and Tomoko are too weak to use it). While he proves to have a talent in piloting the heavy machine, his lack of experience and lasting stamina prevents him from piloting effectively. Luckily, as his college is near AGHS, Shun returns to the club to continue his role as the Powerdizer pilot, but mostly coaches JK in his new duties. JK is also known to be a skilled breakdancer, which is especially noted during the fight with the Pegasus Zodiarts when he successfully uses his moves to dodge a powerful kick. He also incorporates that same style whenever he pilots the Powerdizer.
During his second year in AGHS, JK creates the alias of DJ Gene to set up an internet radio show called DJ Gene Milky Night Carnival as a means to live out his dream of becoming a rock star, but the show becomes more popular than he expects. He is also reunited with middle school friend Tojiro Goto, but becomes conflicted between his loyalties to his old friend who is one of the Horoscopes and to his new friends in the Kamen Rider Club. Goto urges JK to continue with the show, using his sonic powers as the Capricorn Zodiarts to make them even more popular since it makes their musical skills better than before. JK's internal conflicts continue when he discovers the Capricorn Zodiarts' powers are brainwashing everyone in the school, but he does not want to be like his father who gave up on his dreams, so he keeps the show running and leaves the Kamen Rider Club due to his new-found understanding on the frailty of friendship and wants to live for his future instead. However, after seeing Gentaro stopping the Capricorn Zodiarts's music with his father's song, and being forgiven for his role in his former friend's scheme, JK ends his broadcast and dream with the intent to cherish the friendships he has with the Kamen Rider Club.
JK is named after Kamen Rider X, also known as Keisuke Jin (神 敬介 Jin Keisuke); "JK" are Jin's initials.[6] JK's real name is also a play on Kamen Rider X being a "Kaizorg" (カイゾーグ Kaizōgu).
JK is portrayed by Shion Tsuchiya (土屋 シオン Tsuchiya Shion). As a child, JK is portrayed by Wataru Sekine (関根 航 Sekine Wataru).
Shun Daimonji
Shun Daimonji (大文字 隼 Daimonji Shun) is a third-year, later graduate, student who is captain of the American Football team, thus treated like a king by the student body. He is a stereotypical jock whose life has been planned out by his father, raised to believe that those under him are trash and how to play them to suit his needs. As he is consciously compelled not to shame his father and their family name, Shun distances himself from anything that he thinks could destroy his reputation, as he does with Miu when she fell from grace during the Queen Festival. Though he tries to reconcile with her, Shun is surprised when Miu breaks up with him and starts hanging out with Gentaro and his friends. He later gets forced into Mr. Satake's detention class for attacking one of his teammates who insulted his leadership abilities. Though he resolves to pass so he can return to his club activities, Shun's attempts to keep the Kamen Rider Club members in the class eventually result with him being labelled as a delinquent by Mr. Satake as well. Gentaro's earnest effort in wanting to know him better eventually gets through to Shun, and he reveals in tears that he only wants to live up to his father's expectations, without being truly happy with who he is and what he has achieved. Furthermore, his holier-than-thou attitude only makes him an outcast of sorts and he confesses his envy towards the Kamen Rider Club members, where the members stick together and have real fun. His story moved Gentaro to tears to his surprise. Although Gentaro respects his wish to live up to his father's expectations, he tells him that he should also do what he truly wants to. This compels Shun to accept Gentaro as a friend and later battle alongside Gentaro, joining the Kamen Rider Club and providing his athletic prowess as the Powerdizer's official pilot. He is proven to be very adept at manning the machine as he even can do acrobatics with it without suffering any detrimental side effects. He is seen to be more humble and friendly after befriending Gentaro, willingly help the club with anything. He is also very uncomfortable confronting his old attitude, especially when others are following his old example, and attempts to atone for his previous ways like straightening out his teammates when they are acting like he used to, and out of guilt for pushing Miura over the edge, tries to bring Miura back to school by visiting him and apologize to him personally over and over again, even though his apologies always fall on deaf ears.
When Shun and Miu are graduating, Shun insists on asking Miu to prom in very outlandish ways revealing that he has true feelings for her. However, he finds out the Miu wants to go to prom with Gentaro and becomes upset over this, even throwing a punch at Gentaro who went out of his way to get Miu to go with Shun to prom. While dancing with Miu, he realizes that the Kamen Rider Club are fighting to protect their prom and finds it hard to sit with that fact and just enjoy themselves, prompting him and Miu to leave the prom early to assist them. Afterwards, he insists that Gentaro dance with Miu like she wanted to, as Shun wants to send her off happy. After graduation, Shun finds out that both his and Miu's college is near AGHS, allowing both of them to continue their duties in the Kamen Rider Club, thus graduating only from high school and not the club. Eventually, after the defeat of the Horoscopes, Shun attempts to ask Miu for her hand in marriage before the moment is ruined by the appearance of a mysterious young man.
Shun is named after Kamen Rider 2, also known as Hayato Ichimonji (一文字 隼人 Ichimonji Hayato); by combining the kanji 一 and 人 in Ichimonji's name, you get the kanji 大 in Daimonji's name.[6]

Tomoko also has an acute sixth sense in sensing things others cannot, along with moving around undetected and giving people chills whenever she is around. Her unorthodox thinking always allows her to notice things that most people usually overlook. She is also capable of detecting energies of the Astroswitches. She is revealed to have knowledge of the urban legends of other Kamen Riders, playing an indirect role in the creation of the Kamen Rider Club. Since watching Yuki perform at the Queen Festival, seeing a kindred spirit in her, Tomoko has begun to stalk her. Before she joins the Kamen Rider Club, she is one of the few students to be aware of the existence of the Rabbit Hatch, but she does not know at the time that it is located on the Moon where she wishes to live on. Eventually, Tomoko joins a group of other goth students in a witches' coven called the Lunar Witches as its leader Ritsuko Usaka offers to make her dream of leaving the Earth to live on the Moon a reality. But she is devastated when she finds out that the Lunar Witches are shams, which leads Tomoko to be approached by the Scorpion Zodiarts to receive a Zodiarts Switch. Believing she has nowhere to go except the Moon, and that her Zodiarts Switch may fulfill her dreams and become a new person, Gentaro takes her to the Rabbit Hatch to show her what the moon really looks like. Although she is disappointed there is nothing but cold space, Tomoko is glad that she has finally gone to the Moon while finding comfort and acceptance in the Kamen Rider Club members, especially Gentaro as he tells her she is just fine as she currently is. This leads to her renouncing her membership with the Lunar Witches and accepting Gentaro's hand in friendship while later, much to Kengo's chagrin, throws her yet-to-be activated Zodiarts Switch into the river near school. She becomes uncomfortable with occults, something unusual for a goth, after her experience with the Luna Witches. As a Kamen Rider Club member, Tomoko mainly uses her sixth sense to help out with investigations and detect things the others overlook. She starts to keep notes on Ryusei as she realizes strange things happen to him. Ryusei loses her trust at first for betraying the club and she tells him that he is not a true Kamen Rider. At the end, she sees Ryusei redeeming himself without the power of the Meteor Driver. Once the Aries Zodiarts is defeated, Ryusei regains her trust. At the end of Episode 40, Tomoko is banished to the Dark Nebula after she discovers that the Virgo Zodiarts is actually Professor Kuniteru Emoto but is soon brought back after revealing himself to the other club members.

He is infatuated with Ms. Sonoda, even though she does not have any interest in him and would always walk away when he is about to confess his feelings. Mr. Ohsugi also gets into arguments with Gentaro over him not wearing the school uniform, among many other things, and has since listed him as the top problematic student in the school. Ryusei also gets on Mr. Ohsugi's bad side by pointing out that Gentaro is within his rights in terms of the dress code not being strictly mandatory. He also happens to be very superstitious, reading the weekly horoscope (he is a Scorpio) and believing in curses. He likes to put up a strong front, only to shirk and cower later when things go haywire. He is also shown to be jealous of Hayami, as he is almost a complete opposite of what he is and Hayami is very close to Ms. Sonoda. He is very obviously devastated in Ms. Sonoda's "absence due to illness" for extended periods, even more so when he heard that she quit her job altogether later, blaming Gentaro and the others for her health trouble to the point of arranging it that he would be their homeroom teacher in their third year, as well as putting those three he deem problematic in his class in the front seats so to keep an eye on them. His obsession with catching their misdeeds eventually leads him to discover the Rabbit Hatch and the existence of the Kamen Rider Club. He finds it absurd that not only are the three students he deems problematic are in the technically illegal club, second year students and even star alumni are in too. Even after hearing their reasons to have the club as such, Mr. Ohsugi still intends to disband the club as it has failed in following the rules of being approved by a faculty member, eventually escaping the Rabbit Hatch with a confiscated Net Switch to hand over to Principal Hayami. However, upon learning from Ran that some of the faculty are playing a role in the monster attacks, and after seeing the Kamen Rider Club in action when they save him from the Musca Zodiarts, Mr. Ohsugi gives the club his approval to be a legitimate school club and becomes the group's academic adviser, stating that it his duty as a teacher to look out for his students and gaining the respect from the club members, and reconciling with the three he deems to be nothing but trouble. JK later tells Mr. Ohsugi everything about the identity of the Horoscopes and he is surprised to learn that Ms. Sonoda was the Scorpion Zodiarts. When the Leo Zodiarts tries to destroy the Rabbit Hatch, Mr. Ohsugi jumps into the fray and tries to stop the Zodiarts from harming his students, showing that he has become very close to the Kamen Rider Club.
