Kamen Rider OOO/Characters

Main Characters
The heroes of the show, they are the following:

Eiji Hino/Kamen Rider OOO
"Live Actor: Shu Watanabe

Suit Actor: Seiji Takaiwa"

A world-traveling vagrant with no family, dreams, or long-term career, whose recent stint as a museum guard for the Kougami Foundation ends with him taking possession of three Core Medals and the OOO Driver, allowing him to turn into Kamen Rider OOO and fulfill his subconscious impulse for helping people.


 * The Berserker: Like FangJoker, PuToTyra was extremely difficult for Eiji to control. Of course, he does eventually manage to tame the form.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Episode 43 shows how scary Eiji can be when he is angry.
 * Blessed with Suck: The five purple Core Medals inside his body. Eiji has enough of the medals to use the PuToTyra Combo, by far the strongest terms of power, and the medals themselves are sentient enough that they can emerge from his body on their own to be used if Eiji is ever in mortal danger. On the flip side, it will send send him into a mindless rampage that drains his strength more than normal combos; while it became possible for him to control it, it's difficult to maintain that control and the combo is less powerful when restrained. Their presence in his body also causes.
 * Chest Insignia: The O Lung Circle, which displays pictures of the Medals currently in use.
 * Combo-Platter Powers: As OOO, he has the power to mix and match the Medals, giving him three to use at any one time. As evidenced in Episode 6, Full Combos (GataKiriBa, LaToraTah, SaGoZo, TaJaDor, ShaUTa, PuToTyra and BuraKaWani) are much more powerful than Random Combos (including the default TaToBa), albeit at the cost of leaving Eiji completely spent afterwards.
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience:
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Ankh thought he'd make Eiji his sock puppet; turns out underneath his naive and carefree persona is someone who won't back down even unto death and, when given the power, can fight.
 * Deadly Upgrade: The PuToTyra Combo (See Blessed with Suck).
 * Determinator: Put someone's life in danger and there's nothing he won't do to protect them.
 * Dunno What's Going On, But...: When offered the OOO Driver, he pretty much states that he doesn't know what's going on but if it helps him save lives, he'll do it.
 * Elemental Powers: OOO's full colored Combo forms each have elements that match the Greeed their Medals come from.
 * An Ice Person: PuToTyra can create cold winds that can encase enemies in ice.
 * Gravity Master: SaGoZo can manipulate gravity.
 * Making a Splash: ShaUTa can liquify his body,as well as shoot water from it's helmet.
 * Non-Elemental: BuraKaWani is the only combo without some form of element involved.
 * Playing with Fire: TaJaDor can shoot fireballs with the Taja Spinner.
 * The Power of the Sun: LaToraTah can emit a scorching heat.
 * Shock and Awe: GataKiriBa can shoot lightning from his horns.
 * Expy: One can make the arguement that he is a much sillier Godai Yuusuke.
 * Finishing Move: Several. The finishers themselves have elements of Combo-Platter Powers. For instance, with Head Medals, the Taka Head has OOO target the enemy with a scope before attacking, while the Lion Head charges his attacks with glowing energy. Also, with Leg Medals, the Batta Legs are leaping attacks, while the Cheetah Legs are rushing attacks.
 * Combo Forms
 * TaToBa Combo: PuToTyra Kick
 * GataKiriBa Combo: PuToTyra Kick
 * LaToraTah Combo: Gash Cross
 * SaGoZo Combo: GataKiriBa Impact
 * TaJaDor Combo: Prominence Drop
 * ShaUTa Combo: Octo Banish
 * PuToTyra Combo: Blasting Freezer
 * BuraKaWani Combo: Warning Ride
 * TaMaShii Combo: LaToraTah Bomber
 * Super TaToBa Combo: Super SaGoZo Kick
 * Random Combo Forms
 * LaKiriBa: OOO leaps into the air with the Batta Legs. Then, he blinds the enemy with the Lion Head's power. Finally, OOO performs a mid-air cross slash with the Kamakiri Swords.
 * TakaKiriTah: OOO locks on to the enemy with the Taka Head's power. Then, after producing three rings (one red, another green and the third yellow) between him and the enemy, OOO dashes through them and executes a cross slash with the Kamakiri Swords.
 * ShaGoriTa: OOO does a powered up version of the Gori Bagon's long range attack.
 * Weapon finishers
 * Medajalibur: OOO Bash
 * Taja Spinner: Magna Blaze
 * Taja Spinner: Using any combination of seven Cell or Core Medals in the Taja Spinner, OOO launches a wheel of energy at the enemy. Power is dependent on the number of Cores used.
 * Medagabryu Bazooka Mode: Strain Doom
 * Medagabryu Axe Mode: Grand of Rage
 * Gameplay and Story SegregationPuToTyraStory-Breaker Power: Although never outright supported by the plot, GataKiriBa is drastically more useful than any of Eiji's other combos; as such, he never gains access to it except when he would be absolutely be unable to defeat an enemy otherwise.
 * The OOO's movie shows how truly powerful the Strongest Combo is..
 * One of the Net Movies reveals the true reason why Eiji hardly uses it: the CGI cost.
 * Good Is Not Dumb: Ankh gave Eiji the OOO Driver, believing he's an impressionable pawn. But come Episode 2 Eiji not only proves him wrong, but also showed a considerable level of cunning.
 * Goofy Print Underwear: These seem to be the only type of underpants he's capable of owning.
 * Granola Guy
 * The Hero
 * I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Episode 2 reveals an embittered side beneath his laid-back behavior -- his zeal for saving people stemmed from memories of a young girl he befriended during his travels, whom he was unable to save during a civil war.
 * Idiot Hair: One is briefly shown in Episode 2 prior to receiving a text from Hina and revealing his deeper, troubled past.
 * Incendiary Exponent: When he performs TaJaDor's "Magna Blaze" Giga Scan, he ignites into a firebird and rams the opponent from the air.
 * Law of Chromatic Superiority: Initially played straight with BuraKaWani, which seemed to be a stronger combo than any of the others, even getting a unique design from its pieces and chest symbols whereas the others were more proper combos. Then subverted when combos were proven to be situational, turning PuToTyra into "the form that flies" much like PuToTyra is "the form that swims".
 * Loyal Phlebotinum: The OOO Driver will only work for him because he's the one that broke its seal.
 * Though this is largely an Informed Ability said by Ankh. We haven't seen what (if anything) would happen if someone else tried to use the OOO Driver.
 * The Messiah: A deconstruction. Eiji's selflessness is due to a deeply traumatic past that has left him an emotional wreck, and his constant need to put others ahead of himself is shown to be psychologically damaging in the long run.
 * Mid-Season Upgrade: TaJaDor Combo
 * Also comes with the Taja Spinner, allowing for more powerful finishing attacks called Giga Scans.
 * Multiform Balance
 * Master of None: TaToBa Combo
 * Jack of All Stats: GataKiriBa Combo
 * Fragile Speedster: LaToraTah Combo
 * Mighty Glacier: SaGoZo Combo
 * Lightning Bruiser: TaJaDor Combo
 * Glass Cannon: ShaUTa Combo
 * Super Mode: PuToTyra Combo
 * Stone Wall: BuraKaWani Combo
 * Lethal Joke Character: TaMaShii Combo
 * Serial Escalation: Super TaToBa Combo
 * Mythical Motifs: Two of OOO's Combo forms have this.
 * The Phoenix: TaJaDor
 * Also becomes engulfed in a firebird when he performs the "Magna Blaze" Giga Scan.
 * Our Dragons Are Different: PuToTyra
 * Dinosaurs Are Dragons
 * Nice Guy
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Played for Laughs in Episode 3 where he threatens to "not be able to resist doing something stupid" and throw away the OOO Driver to force Ankh into releasing Hina. Mostly subverted though, as his natural personality just seems stupid despite him being extremely clever.
 * Oblivious to Love: Hilariously Lampshaded in episode 18, where it takes a lot of hinting to find out the victim of the week was in love with a man, and still, Ankh gets it faster than him.
 * Peacock Guy: As TaJaDor.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Goto's blue.
 * Rummage Sale Reject: Let's just begin with how oversized his clothes are.
 * Samaritan Syndrome: "If I don't reach out my hand when I can, the regret will make me wish I were dead."
 * : Apparently a sign of him.
 * Set Bonus: OOO's full color Combos each give him an extra power otherwise unusable in Random Combos. The purple Medals notably cannot be used with other Medals, due to their special properties.
 * GataKiriBa: Replication
 * LaToraTah: Shining Heat Bursts.
 * SaGoZo: Gravity Control.
 * TaJaDor: Wings/Energy Peacock Feather Missiles.
 * ShaUTa: Liquid Shapeshifting.
 * PuToTyra: Icy Winds.
 * BuraKaWani: Healing/Cobra Summoning through Flute Music.
 * Shockwave Clap: SaGoZo has the ability to generate extremely powerful shockwaves by beating his chest like a Gorilla.
 * Tron Lines
 * Walking the Earth: A closer look at his spare change in Episode 1 reveals currency from other countries (including an American quarter), and in Episode 3, he can be seen in the background of a photograph taken in the middle of a desert. He also states in Episode 1 that he doesn't have a fixed address and often isn't even in Japan.
 * Weapon of Choice
 * Cool Sword: Medajalibur
 * Fireball Breathing Shield: The Kujaku Medal with the Taja Spinner.
 * Axe Grinding Gunslinger: Medagabryu, the main weapon of PuToTyra Combo.
 * Kill It with Ice: When summoned and wielded by a different Combo form, the Medagabryu can use ice-powered slashes.
 * Musical Assassin: Burahngi, the main weapon of BuraKaWani Combo.
 * Weaponized Headgear: The Head Core Medals give OOO's head special powers.
 * Aquatic Breathing Echolocating Blowhole: The Shachi Medal.
 * Horn Attack: The Sai Medal.
 * Infrared X Ray Camera: The Cobra Medal.
 * Light'Em Up: The Lion Medal can emit an intense light.
 * Power Gives You Wings: The Ptera Medal with the External Fins.
 * Shock and Awe: The Kuwagata Medal can generate lightning from its horns.
 * Super Senses: The Taka Medal has telescopic vision.
 * Dual-Wielding: The Arm Core Medals give OOO two weapons on each arm, expect for the Kujaku Medal.
 * Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Kame Medal with the Goura Guardners.
 * Reverse Grip Blades Below The Shoulder: The Kamakiri Medal with the Kamakiri Swords.
 * Rocket Powered Fists: The Gorilla Medal with the Gori Bagōn.
 * Shoulders of Doom: The Tricera Medal with the Wind Stingers, and the Imagin Medal with the Orenotsuno.

 * Man Bites Man: The Wani Medal with the Saw Deadscythers.
 * Super Speed: The Cheetah Medal.
 * Swiss Army Weapon: The Tyranno Medal with the Tail Divider and Legsteranail.

Ankh/Shingo Izumi's body
"Voice/Live Actor: Ryosuke Miura

Suit Actor: Eitoku/Satoshi Fujita (hand)"

The Bird Greeed and a dishonest wildcard who was released along with the other Greeed -- in the form of his right arm. After encountering Eiji and turning him into OOO, he takes over the half-dead body of Shingo Izumi, a police detective whom Eiji met earlier in the story, to become his temporary vessel even as he keeps an eye on Eiji.

"Ankh:"
 * Animal Motifs: Birds
 * Big Badass Birds of Prey: Taka and Condor.
 * Anime Hair: His mohawk-ish hairdo is curled on the right side, braided on the left side and mostly straight in the back.
 * One might even call his hair feathered.
 * The hair kind of makes sense when you compare him with.
 * And then there is also his new hairstyle in the "Let's Go Kamen Riders" 40th year anniversary movie, which he gets
 * In Movie Wars MEGAMAX,
 * Anti-Hero: Type V. He's only helpping Eiji against the other Greeed because it's in his own best intrests, and has no qualms about who is hurt so long as he gets what he wants.
 * Barehanded Blade Block: Manages to do this against TaToBa Medagabryu in Episode 34.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil: Or at least morally ambiguous.
 * Blood From the Mouth: Shingo, when very near death.
 * Butt MonkeyGataKiriBaThe Chew Toy: One of the few villainous examples. He gets hurt in a comical fashion, including being crushed under a vending machine, kicked, hit by a flying Tako Candroid, and getting flipped over by Hina.
 * Played for Drama in Episode 8, where.

 * Calling Your Attacks: The only live character to indulge in this so far, when he whacked on the forehead to escape his grasp.
 * Character Tic: "*Tch*"
 * The Chessmaster: Too bad his "pawn" Eiji turns out to be a little more cunning than he wanted him to be.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Death Glare: He seems to like giving this to people. That, or it's his default expression. Notably in Episode 13, he scares a little boy just by staring at him like this.
 * Demonic Possession: Done by attaching himself like a glove.
 * Puppeteer Parasite
 * Dyeing for Your Art: Miura's hair is actually dyed and styled as Ankh; his hair as Shingo is a wig.
 * Ear Ache: How Hina manhandles him.
 * Enter Stage Window: Notably in Episode 17. Might be justified because he is the bird Greeed.
 * Evil Mentor: Has no interest in saving people. He just wants enough Cell Medals to reconstitute himself a full body.
 * Expository Hairstyle Change: Much like the Imagin, Shingo's hair turns into a blonde mess only when Ankh's possessing him.
 * It gets even crazier when Momotaros's own expository hair change kicks in when he attaches his severed left arm to Shingo's body in The Movie, as seen in the image link under Anime Hair above.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: A minor example, his T-shirt is mostly white with a single red sleeve.
 * Which just happens to coordinate perfectly with his literal Red Right Hand.
 * Ghost Memory: Ankh is able to access Shingo's memories while inhabiting his body.
 * Good Wings, Evil Wings: Played with. Multicolored wings represent angels in Islamic art, which is odd for a character that's morally ambiguous at best.
 * Guyliner: Given the Egyptian theme he seems to have going for him, it makes sense.
 * Hammerspace: He's a living one. He's composed of far more Medals than his body could logically hold, plus kept the OOO Driver inside himself.
 * Helping Hands: Due to losing nearly all his Cores, he's been reduced to an arm, but is still able to function perfectly well without a body... and fly.
 * Hidden Depths: Somehow, he ended up being a right forearm, . Even he and.
 * I Have the High Ground: Likes hanging out in trees. Which is completely natural since he's the Bird Greeed.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills: He's able to throw medals with such skill that he's thrown one right into the OOO Driver slot... from across the battlefield, past a swarm of Jellyfish Yummy! Justified, as long-range accuracy is the Taka Medal's innate power.
 * Improbable Hairstyle: Looks very hard to maintain for someone who was pretty much homeless for the first few episodes. Especially obvious when he jumps into a river in #15, and arrives just a few minutes later looking as polished as usual.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Ore".
 * The Lancer
 * Large Ham: Shows this at times, normally when he's actually happy for once, such as when he got his Kujaku Medal back. He really hams it up when playing the Great Leader of Shocker in Kougami's movie.
 * Not to mention the net movies for Let's Go Kamen Riders; just watch him Freak-Out when he sees there are no more ice candies, or how loud he gets when he proclaims that the secret to the show's success is "Me, ANKH!!"
 * Meaningful Name: In Egyptian, "ankh" means "eye of the hawk", fitting as he's the Bird Greeed.
 * In a nod to its etymology, the Taka Medal is used as OOO's head part.
 * It's also the name of the Egyptian symbol of life, he's the only thing keeping Shingo alive . His theme Ankh The Greeed seems to support this as it is Egyptian themed.
 * My Name Is Not Durwood: He doesn't like it when Date calls hims "Anko".
 * And considering how close it is to "Unko"(poop), there's probably a very good reason for that.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He thought Eiji would make for a good dimwitted puppet; he ended up with a guy who's a lot more cunning than he shows, and giving him a Transformation Trinket that allows him to oppose the Greeed and save lives (which he apparently really wanted to do). Extra points for letting Eiji know that Ankh needs Eiji and the OOO Driver to be able to do anything at all and letting Eiji keep the OOO Driver with him at all times.
 * Not So Different: From Kazari, which is why he turns down the offer to work together. He can't trust someone who's as sneaky as he is.
 * One-Winged Angel: After collecting four of his Core Medals and re-absorbing them all, he briefly sprouts a literal single wing on the right side of his back.
 * Odd Name Out: The other Greeed all have names stimming from a desire, or at the very least, a verb. Ankh's means "eye of the hawk" and it's also the Egyptian symbol for life.
 * Word of God has it that during production stages, his name was "Asshu", from "Assuru"/"Dominate", i.e: desire for authority. It still fits him even now.
 * Playing with Fire: While not originally shown, it was speculated due to the TaJaDor Combo having flames surrounding it whenever it's formed, when it executes a Finishing Move, and with the Taja Spinner having the power to shoot fireballs. It was further supported by the Bird Yummy also able to use fire elemental attacks and finally.
 * Posthumous Character: Ankh's "host", Shingo Izumi.
 * Power Fist: His Greeed arm (which is his entire body) is his Weapon of Choice when he has to fight, normally using his claws to slash the opponent.
 * Power Gives You Wings: When he regains two of his Cores, he gains a single energy wing... and that's it.
 * Red Right Hand: Literally; it's all there is to him!
 * Right Hand Versus Left Hand: He and Eiji sometimes don't exactly clue each other in to important details (like when Kougami offered Eiji one of Ankh's medals).
 * Rocket Punch: Performs one in Episode 13 when fighting Goto by launching himself off his host's arm and punching him in the face.
 * Also uses a similar technique to gather Cell Medals whenever Eiji defeats a Yummy.
 * Token Evil Teammate
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Popsicles, so much so he's willing to steal a few from children. In Episode 15, Chiyoko presents Eiji with Ankh's ice candy bill of ¥23,625 (~$280). In the same episode, Eiji goes so far as to promise Ankh a year's worth of ice candy if he helps him save Hina.
 * Unexplained Recovery:
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Eiji. Sure, they frequently undermine one another's goals to advance their own, but at least they're up front about it.
 * Wakeup Makeup: Ankh takes this to the extreme in Episode 13. As if the ever-present Guyliner and Improbable Hairstyle weren't enough, he even sleeps fully clothed, including shoes.
 * You Will Be Assimilated: Ankh and try this on each other at the end of Episode 29..

International Cuisine Restaurant Cous Coussier
A Cosplay restaurant themed on international cultures.

Chiyoko Shiraishi
"Live Actress: Marie Kai"

Owner of the Cous Coussier. She hires Hina on account of her Super Strength, and later (and on Hina's recommendation) Eiji on account of his knowledge of foreign cultures garnered from the years he spent as a world traveler.


 * Acting for Two:
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Most of it happens offscreen, but Hina's reaction to her beating the tar out of a group of mind-controlled police officers implies there's more to her than just The Ditz. In this case, though, she was also really angry.
 * The Ditz
 * Locked Out of the Loop: Eiji had to give her a well-made excuse about Ankh being raised on the streets so she wouldn't find out about his true nature. She goes onto believe the story
 * Surprisingly Good English: A few of her lines at the end of Episode 10 when she tries to teach Ankh etiquette and table manners certainly count. Not one bit of accent when she used English.

Hina Izumi
"Live Actress: Riho Takada"

Shingo's younger sister. After learning from Eiji of what became of her brother, she urged him to join her as a coworker at the Cous Coussier, not only because of his extensive knowledge of foreign cultures (which the restaurant uses as its Cosplay themes), but also to look after her brother's body, now occupied by Ankh.

"Ankh: "Is she even human or what?!""
 * Ambiguously Human: It's been hinted this could be the reason for her strength.


 * The Chick
 * Expy: Black hair? Check. Wears white a lot? Check. Super Strength? Check. Frequently uses said Super Strength to keep the ally Kaijin in line? Check. She has a lot in common with Hana, with their names only one letter apart. Makes sense, cause the writer for this series was also the writer for Den-O.
 * Extremity Extremist: Her Super Strength is strictly focused in her arms.
 * The Fashionista: She goes to a fashion design college and even won an internship in France, but declined the offer due to her brother's condition.
 * Locked Out of the Loop: Averted. Eiji tries to make up a story about Shingo being on an undercover operation, but that lie gets blown almost immediately. He finally tells her the whole story in Episode 4.
 * Secret Keeper: For Eiji and Ankh.
 * Ship Tease: It's shown several times that she deeply cares for Eiji
 * And, at other times, for Ankh. She even made personal chocolate Valentines for them both.
 * Super Strength: You wouldn't expect this until we see it for the first time, lifting a giant vending machine just so Eiji could pick up the Cell Medal he found...and then smashing it on Ankh's hand when she sees it.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Occasionally. Especially evident in Episode 28, where she tries to hug Eiji and nearly snaps him in two.
 * Don't forget that time in Episode 16, that while trying to help Eiji recover from some injuries, she's only making it worse.
 * Woman in White
 * Woman in White

Kougami Foundation
A company that has been researching on the Greeed since they found a sarcophagus containing them in their art museum. Also seems to fit the Omniscient Council of Vagueness trope. There main goal seems to be harnessing the power of the Core and Cell Medals for the betterment of mankind. The members are as follows:

Kousei Kougami
"Live Actor: Takashi Ukaji"

The very eccentric president of Kougami Foundation. A firm believer in the power of desire and the beauty of the birth of all things, good or bad, he is also known for his odd habit of making birthday cakes whenever he's not bending Ankh, Eiji or the other Greeed to his will.


 * Ambition Is Evil: Inverted in his personal philosophy. He believes that desire is a force of progress and evolution and encourages it in his subordinates.
 * Batman Gambit:
 * Big Good
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: He out-negotiated a living embodiment of human greed. There's a reason this guy's a CEO and not a patissier.
 * Catch Phrase: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Also WONDERFUL!
 * The Chessmaster: He's expected everything that has happened thus far, he even outwitted Ankh, a living incarnation of greed and a cunning trickster himself.
 * Large Ham: Full stop! None can beat him in hamminess in the show.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Dr. Maki's blue.
 * Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Stands on the "enlightenment" side of growth and progress.
 * Too Dumb to Live: He himself describes Oda Nobunaga as the most wickedly ambitious man in history...and then clones the guy using Cell Medals. Let's re-iterate: the most evil and ambitious man ever, brought back to life using condensed human greed.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: He hasn't been seen eating much yet, but he very much enjoys making birthday cakes.
 * The Wonka
 * You Didn't Ask: Despite knowing pretty much everything about the events of 800 years ago, he seems to only reveal the information when someone is looking for it. Possibly justified, as he believes desire is the most important thing in the world, so it makes sense he only provides information if someone desires it.

Erika Satonaka
"Live Actress: Mayuko Arisue"

Kousei's personal secretary who procures cakes and maintains a businesslike attitude.


 * Action Girl: She shows in Episode 20 just how Badass she really is when she uses a shotgun and a pistol to wipe out a small army of Mooks singlehandedly. Maybe her Big Eater abilities weren't the only reason Kougami hired her...
 * Big Eater: During Episode 14 her temporary replacement is seen to have collapsed halfway through his tenth cake, which is the size of a small cake one could buy from a grocery store. Kougami laments that the replacement, while doing everything he could to wolf down the cake, is not at Satonaka's level. One wonders how on earth she manages, and if her Hammerspace is in fact in her stomach.
 * Also take notice that she hates sweet things, and is more into spicy foods. One has to wonder how she is able to literally stomach all that sugar.
 * Emotionless Girl
 * Hair Decorations
 * Fan Service: Her Catgirl costume at the Halloween party in episode 9.
 * Her arrival in Episode 20, natch.
 * The Fashionista: She loves looking good even in battle, so she takes a long time to dress up before going out to fight, much to Goto's annoyance.
 * Girl Friday
 * Guns Akimbo: In Episode 20, she arrives to help against the latest Yummy armed with a pistol and shotgun.
 * Let's Get Dangerous: She's normally quite unassuming... then Kougami told her to go help OOO and Birth with a Yummy. Cue her arriving on a motorcycle armed with a shotgun and pistol and proceeds to kick butt.
 * Parent Service
 * Pink Girl, Blue BoySaGoZoWoman in White: The promo material and opening credits show her in a pink business suit, but in most episodes she wears white.
 * Punch Clock Hero: Only shows her Action Girl credentials when Kougami asks her to.
 * Real Women Hate Sugar: Dislikes sugar, and is more interested in spicy foods. However, she eats Kougami's confections because he pays her well.
 * Sexy Secretary: Oh yes.

Doctor Kiyoto Maki
"Live Actor: Yu Kamio"

One of Kougami Foundation's brightest scientists, in charge of its Biotech Laboratory, as well as the inventor of the Birth system.


 * Ascended Extra: His Creepy Doll started off as a mere prop for Maki but gradually appeared to be more and more sentient.
 * Berserk Button: Do not touch his Creepy Doll. Ever.
 * And Date seems determined to find every single Berserk Button he has, then pound them all until something breaks.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Apparently a brilliant scientist, but suffers massive panic attacks if he's removed from his doll. On top of that, he seems to be quite insane.
 * Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive
 * Creepy Doll: Carries on on his shoulder.
 * Creepy Monotone
 * Dead Older Sister: Hitomi,
 * Deal with the Devil: Has made a deal with Kazari to provide Medals in exchange for being allowed to "research" him. Notwithstanding the risks of associating himself with someone like Kazari.
 * Devil in Plain Sight: A creepy Mad Scientist with an equally Creepy Doll who tells the audience up front in his Creepy Monotone that he is an Omnicidal Maniac. Yet not only does Kougami employ him, but has become a joke once Date entered the scene.
 * Disproportionate Retribution:
 * Even Evil Has Standards:
 * For Science!: This is supposedly his motivation for letting the Yummy rampage through the Kougami labs, just to see what they'll do.
 * Freudian Excuse: And a very twisted one.
 * Hannibal Lecture: Since, he's become quite prone to giving these.
 * Hidden Depths: Hinted in Episode 10.
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Mad Scientist
 * Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate: He allows a subordinate to proceed with an illegal and dangerous hobby all to watch the Yummy and see what they do -- go on a rampage and kill his subordinates.
 * He then teamed up with Kazari, a chronic backstabber and genuine threat to humanity....
 * Omnicidal Maniac: Seems to be a mild example. He's stated that his ultimate desire is to see the end of the world, and use the power of the Medals to do that but has yet to actually try.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Kougami's red.
 * Redemption Rejection:
 * The Sociopath:

Kamen Rider Birth
"Suit Actor: Eitoku"

An experimental Kamen Rider suit using the expendible but common Cell Medals, as opposed to OOO and his rare Core Medals.


 * All Your Powers Combined: Birth Day
 * Awesome but Impractical: The CLAWS Scorpion is incredibly powerful, but requires a total of 1000 cell medals to use, thereby depleting a good chunk of Birth's user's reserves.
 * Finishing Move: Cell Burst
 * Birth Buster: After connecting the Cell Bullet Pod to the barrel of the Birth Buster, Birth shoots an explosive ball of energy at the enemy.
 * Breast Cannon: Birth fires a blast of red energy at the enemy. The blast's power varies depending on how many multiples of two Cell Medals were used to charge it.
 * CLAWs Scorpion: Fires an array of various colored lasers from the tip of its stinger.
 * Birth Day: Cell Bash
 * Fun with Acronyms: Birth's weapons are referred to as the Birth CLAWS, or the Cannon/Leg(s)/Arm/Wing System.
 * Hammerspace: Averted, the Birth system runs on Cell Medals, so it user has to carry the Medals around in something (for Date, a large can and for Goto, a backpack) wherever they go.
 * However, the Birth Buster, on the other hand, seems to be pulled out of nowhere.
 * Somewhat subverted, however, as unlike most Riders were the weapon is formed with the suit, instead of just forming a new one after giving his Birth Buster to Goto, he had to go have a new one made.
 * Played straight with the CLAWS and the suit itself, as the components that are assembled into the suit and weapons come out of roughly baseball-sized orbs that they could not realistically fit into.
 * Law of Inverse Recoil: Suprisingly averted. The Birth Buster has a huge recoil, enough to knock an unprepared person off their feet. Date has just practiced and knows how to use it properly.
 * Motion Capture Mecha: ShaUTa Scorpion, to a degree. It's clearly motion controlled and mimics the Birth user's movements to a degree, but obviously takes a few liberties due to the fact that Birth moves like a human while the Scorpion moves like a ... scorpion.
 * Second Rider
 * Selective Magnetism: The Birth PuToTyra can automatically draw in Cell Medals (but not Core Medals).
 * Super Prototype: Averted, as the prototype version of the Birth Driver has only a few of the functions of the later model, and is used as a backup when the main driver is damaged.
 * Weapon of Choice
 * Combining Mecha: CLAWs Scorpion
 * Armed Legs: Caterpillar Leg
 * Boomerang Razor Wings: Cutter Wing
 * Chest Blaster: Breast Cannon
 * Grappling Hook Gun: Crane Arm
 * Shovel Strike: Shovel Arm
 * This Is a Drill: Drill Arm
 * The Gunslinger: Birth Buster

Akira Date (Episodes 16-38, The Shogun and 21 Core Medals)
"Live Actor: Hiroaki Iwanaga"

The first full-time wielder of the Birth system and, like Eiji, a world traveler who only came back to earn funds for his travels.


 * All There in the Manual: In-series -- the manual of the Birth suit includes information on Ankh and Eiji. By his own words, it appears Kougami expected him to read it and didn't brief him much.
 * The Big Guy
 * Blood From the Mouth: Spits up blood when badly injured by the Greeed, causing Goto to think he died.
 * Bounty Hunter: He was hired by the Kougami Foundation to get a hundred million Cell Medals to be paid, which requires him to hunt down and destroy Yummy and Greeed. This is simular to real life bounty hunters, who are technically, by law, hired to hunt down the bail of the person, represented physically by the person.
 * Catch Phrase: "Now's the perfect time to cash in" and "Time to get to work".
 * Combat Medic: Date was once part of a team of doctors that traveled the world. His nickname was something along the lines of the "Fighting Doctor".
 * Dunno What's Going On, But...: While not a Punch Clock Hero like Satonaka, he originally doesn't come off as someone all too interested in the politics of fighting the Greeed and, instead, just does it for the money.
 * Gratuitous English: "Goto-chan, come on!", "Goto-chan, nice!"
 * Hidden Depths: While we don't know what he wants his money for, it's implied that it's something important, at least to him.
 * Instant Expert: Averted, unlike most Kamen Riders, he needs an instruction manual to know how to use the Birth suit. He does mention that he hates reading through manuals though, and prefers to learn from practical experience.
 * Meaningful Name: Birth Date.
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Older Sidekick: He is in his thirties, younger than Kougami, but noticeably older than most Kamen Riders.
 * Ironically, he's Goto's mentor.
 * Real Men Hate Sugar: He doesn't seem to like sweets, as he flees the Couscoussier when it has a dessert fair.
 * The Rival: A more friendly version than normal for Kamen Rider, and it's not really towards OOO but to Ankh. Eiji doesn't really care about Cell Medals and just really wants to save people, and is even willing to join forces with him whenever necessary; it's Ankh that is really in conflict with Date.
 * Even Ankh lightened up slightly when he realized that Birth is only interested in Cells and not Cores. And really, name one person Ankh isn't hostile towards.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Oden.
 * Wrestler in All of Us: He'll use pro wrestling moves and grapple Yummys to the ground when he's unarmed.

Shintaro Goto (Movie War Core, Episodes 38-present)
"Live Actor: Asaya Kimijima"

Sole survivor of the Kougami Foundation's 1st Ride Vendor Motorcycle Brigade and a former police officer.


 * The Apprentice: Goto starts training under Date to replace him as Birth for whenever he finishes his job.
 * Badass
 * Badass Biker
 * Character Development: Big time. Once Kougami told him his pride is one of the reasons he was denied the chance to become Birth, he decided it's about time he swallow his pride and learn some humility by becoming a waiter at the Cous Coussier, as well as ask Date to make him his apprentice.
 * Chick Magnet: During his stay at Cous Coussier, he was popular among the female customers.
 * Even Jerks Have Standards: One reason he was initially denied the chance to become Birth is because he objected to Dr. Maki's unscrupulous ways.
 * The Gunslinger: He's been shown using a pistol, a shotgun, and even gets a Birth Buster when Date takes him as his apprentice.
 * Hidden Depths: Implied; as he was the only survivor of the Foundation's motorcycle patrol, Shintaro either has some ace battle smarts or Kougami has a reason to keep him alive.
 * I Just Want to Be Special
 * Jerkass: Pre-Character Development, he's generally abrasive towards Eiji.
 * Legacy Character
 * Let's Get Dangerous: Notably Episode 10.
 * Episode 38, natch.
 * Never Got to Say Goodbye:
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Eiji's red.
 * Sidekick: To Date after he starts training.
 * The Smart Guy
 * Took a Level In Badass: After finally succeeding Date as Birth, Goto takes a million levels in badass.
 * Took a Level In Kindness: Part of Gotou's Character Development.

Greeed
The Big Bad Ensemble of the show. They were artificial creatures created by humans 800 years ago, only to evolve beyond their control and begin a competition for title of "Multi-King", only to be sealed away by the original OOO. Ankh is one of them, but doesn't get along with them. They also have a Theme Naming going on, each ones name revolves around a desire, except Ankh, who is the Odd Name Out. They feed off human desire and greed by using their Yummy to turn it into Cell Medals. According to Ankh, they also have a habit of regularly turning against each other.

The members are as follows:

Uva
"Voice/Live Actor: Yuusuke Yamada

Suit Actor: Kazuya Okada"

The Insect Greeed and a hot-headed warrior. His Yummies takes strength from stealing the object of their hosts' desires.


 * Animal Motifs: Insects
 * Big Creepy-Crawlies: Kuwagata, Kamakiri, and Batta.
 * Blood Knight
 * Character Development: Went from being the most Hot-Blooded Greeed (and second dumbest next to Gamel) to being the most patient and resourceful out of all the Greeed.
 * The Chessmaster: When he needs to, he's good at making long term, effective plans.
 * Deal with the Devil: He seems to have changed his preferences to this, as his recent Yummy tried to actively carry out their host's desires (making its host more talented, destroying the wedding of someone they wanted to be with, and carrying out justice on those its host declared 'bad guys') but ultimately causing harm in the long run (sucking the talent out of someone else, violently beating up people who did wrong in the eyes of its host). Uva also remains in contact with the host, unlike his fellow Greeed.
 * Determinator: He simply won't give up.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Ore".
 * Meaningful Name: His name is a play on "Ubau", a Japanese word meaning "to steal away".
 * His way of making Yummy makes it more meaningful -- they literally steal the object their host desires.
 * Mook Maker: Figured out a way to make Waste Yummies by breaking Cell Medals in half -- two Yummies, half strength, zero upgrade.
 * He also worked out how to implant Waste Yummies into human hosts,
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Kazari's blue.
 * Shock and Awe: He can shoot lightning out from his antennae.
 * Shout-Out: Uva seems to have a good bit in common with the Black Joker.
 * Kinda makes sense, considering the monster designer for Blade is the designer for OOO
 * He also highly resembles Kamen Rider Shin.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Since Kazari, Uva was kind of left in the dust. So he disappeared for about six episodes and The result? He was able to shrug off OOO and Birth's normal attacks like they were nothing and fight OOO TaJaDor on even ground.

Kazari
"Voice/Live Actor: Taito Hashimoto

Suit Actor: Jun Watanabe"

The Feline Greeed and a cunning schemer. His Yummies have a habit of devouring their hosts once their desires are satisfied.


 * Animal Motifs: Felines
 * Panthera Awesome: Lion, Tiger, and Cheetah.
 * Big Bad: Out of the original (villainous) Greeed, he seems to be the one who fits this role the most. Despite all four being even at first, his Chessmaster abilities and eventually promoted him to this.
 * Cats Are Mean: He's probably the meanest out of the Greeed.
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Has it the worst of all the Greeed.
 * Demonic Possession: The trait of his Yummies. When Kazari infects someone with one of his Yummies, the victim is forced to act out their desire. Once the Yummy matures, it even completely absorbs the host into its body, making it difficult to fight it without hurting the host.
 * Elemental Powers
 * His own elements
 * Blow You Away: He can produce mini cyclones.
 * Light'Em UpBuraKaWaniThe Power of the Sun: He can emit an intense light.
 * Eviler Than Thou: To the other Greeed.
 * Evil Genius: Despite his immature demeanor, he's the Greeed who most prefers to make plans and set traps for his adversaries.
 * It's All About Me: His principal goal.
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Boku".
 * Light Is Not Good
 * Meaningful Name: His name comes from "kazaru" -- meaning 'to decorate'.
 * Also applies to his manner of creating Yummy. They form around their host once they're complete. In this context, to "decorate" means to apply something to the outside of something else, thus they 'decorate' their host.
 * Plus it sounds similar to kaze, referring to his wind-based powers.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity
 * Psychopathic Manchild: While a mild case, he's still rather childish in his behavior, but still just as, if not more, deadly as his fellow Greeed.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Uva's red.
 * Shout-Out: His human form looks very familiar, maybe he based it from the human form of another childish kaijin.
 * Smug Snake
 * The Starscream
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: His human form has white hair.
 * Xanatos Gambit: By teaming up with Dr. Maki, he points out that creating Yummies bears no downside upon him. Even if it gets destroyed by OOO, most of the Cell Medals are handed over to the Kougami Foundation. Since they then go to Dr. Maki, Kazari still gets a portion of the Medals.
 * You Didn't Ask: Saw Ankh make off with their missing Medals and never bothered to tell the others until they realize they're missing some Medals. Could be justified because the Greeed are competing with each other, and this information might give him an advantage, playing on his Obfuscating Stupidity.

Gamel
"Voice/Live Actor: Hiroyuki Matsumoto

Suit Actor: Masashi Takada"

The Large Animal Greeed and a simple-minded brute. His Yummies are created from his own body using human desires.


 * Animal Motifs: Heavy animals.
 * Everything's Better with Monkeys: Gorilla
 * Rhino Rampage: Sai
 * War Elephants: Zou
 * Anti-Villain: He never really wanted anything more than to make Mezool happy.
 * Awesome Yet Impractical: The downside to producing Yummy from his own body is that they're absolutely useless for medal farming. This factors into his closeness to Mezool, from whom he procures a large part of Cell Medals in his possession.
 * His Medals also suffer from this; Eiji and Ankh got a grand total of one Cell Medal for defeating the Buffalo Yummy.
 * On the upside, having a single Cell Medal reduces the vulnerability period of his Yummy. Theoretically, as long as he has enough medals to spare, he can summon a Zerg Rush of Yummy. There is also the fact that since Yummies get Cell Medals from feeding on their hosts' desires, his Yummies come from him to fulfill his desires -- he is feeding on desires, not the Yummy. And then it turns out he can turn anything he touches -- including humans -- into Cell Medals (as in Episode 46), and once at full power, he need not farm Medals anymore.
 * The Brute
 * Combat Tentacles: Well, it's an elephant trunk, but it's the same basic idea.
 * Dumb Muscle: Not necessarily stupid, but pretty clearly the most simple-minded among the Greeed. Case in point: he's seen in Episode 6 stacking bar-stools into a fort, with pretty much no interest in the others' problems.
 * He also has next to no knowledge of Greeed anatomy (like thinking he can replace Mezool's Cores with his own ).
 * Elemental Powers
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Reported (The Zou Medal allows for earthquake generation.)
 * Gravity Master
 * Enemy Summoner: Unlike the other Greeed, he produces fully mature Yummy straight from his own body.
 * Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Thinks Mezool is his mama, and he'll do practically anything for her.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: The poor guy can't do anything right, and his lack of intelligence leaves him open to manipulation from everyone.
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Ore".
 * Meaningful Name: His name means 'to pilfer'.
 * While he doesn't do any physical theft, and his Yummies also don't, he does so in a metaphorical way -- he always copies what he sees others do since he cannot fully think for himself.
 * It also sounds roughly like 'kame' meaning turtle,
 * Psychopathic Manchild: Case in point -- after seeing a couple fight with throwing a shoe, he finds it absolutely hilarious and creates a Yummy whose main power is to make inanimate objects throw themselves at people. It gets worse over the episode as the items move from shoes and bags to heavy metal cases and exploding barrels.
 * Shirtless Scene: Spends a lot of time missing the armor for his upper body thanks to losing those Medals early, . It could be lampshading his role as The Brute, though.
 * Spoiled Brat: Mezool babies him by giving him candy and cell medals.
 * As noted in his character entry, his Yummies aren't able to gather hordes of Cell Medals, hence Mezool giving him the medals.
 * Super Strength
 * Sweet Tooth: There are points where he does nothing but eat candy.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Since his Yummies can't gather Cell Medals, Gamel is literally incapable of feeding himself without help from Mezool. Only when not at full power, anyway.

Mezool
"Voice Actress: Yukana

Live Actress: Honoka Miki

Suit Actress: Satoshi Fujita"

The Aquatic Greeed and a mother-figure to her kin. Her Yummies derive their power from their hosts' growing obsessions.


 * Animal Motifs: Aquatic animals.
 * Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods: Tako
 * Psycho Electric Eel: Denki Unagi
 * Combat Stilettos: In her Greeed form, though they seem to disappear during actual stunt sequences.
 * Creepy Child: Her human form.
 * Dark Chick: Seems to fit the role.
 * The Smurfette Principle: She's even blue.
 * Elemental Powers
 * Make Me Wanna Shout: Reported (The Shachi Medal can emit and receive sonic waves.)
 * Making a Splash: Obvious enough, being blue and based on aquatic animals.
 * Shock and Awe: Reported (The Denki Unagi Medal uses two electric whips.)
 * Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Fire can mess her up... even though she's the water-based Greed...
 * What happens to water when its heated up enough? It really seemed to be more of a burst of pure heat, much like the sun emits, rather than straight-up fire.
 * Faux Dark Action Girl: Her battle record so far is... less than stellar. Not exactly her fault, though.
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Watashi".
 * Lady of War
 * Meaningful Name: Her name means to love. Her's is more fitting than the others as she seems to be the most compassionate.
 * It's also fitting as her Yummy make a person's desire turn into an obsession.
 * Her name also sounds similar to mizu, referring to her water-based powers.
 * Team Mom: A rare villainous example. Gamel even acts like she's his mommy.
 * Extends to her Yummies as well, even if she and the others ultimately eat them, she still refers to them as 'my children' or 'sweetie'.
 * In her defense,.
 * Water Is Blue
 * Zerg Rush: Her Yummies are basically this trope. She creates a whole nest of yummy eggs, that are incubated by the hosts desire. Once they are fed with enough desire, they hatch and appear in great numbers.

Giru
"Voice Actor: Kenji Hamada"

The Dinosaur Greeed who appeared in Movie War Core. His Yummies are the antithesis of those created by the other Greeed, intending to destroy all desire.


 * Animal Motifs: Dinosaurs
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs: Ptera, Tricera, and Tyranno.
 * Ptero-Soarer
 * Tyrannosaurus Rex
 * Elemental Powers
 * An Ice Person: Reported (PuToTyra Combo has the power to create cold winds that can freeze enemies, as shown in its Finishing Move.)
 * Power of the Void: Giru's Yummies are created through inanimate objects, rather than people, being true to his theme of nothingness.
 * Meaningful Name: His name comes from uragiru, meaning "to betray", as his medals and Yummies are the opposite of desire rather than representing it, thus betraying what the other Greeed embody.
 * No Name Given: Sort of. His name is mentioned in The Movie, but he is credited as the Dinosaur Greeed.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: According to Kougami, Giru is this by his very nature and the antithesis of creation itself.

(Lost)
"Voice Actor: Miyu Irino

Live Actor: Hikari Tobita

Suit Actor: Masashi Takada"

A mysterious Greeed.


 * Animal Motifs:
 * The Chessmaster: Learned from Kazari and the other Greeed how to be one. He's very good at it and ! He also plays the "chess" part straight as well.
 * Japanese Pronouns: "Boku".
 * Playing with Fire
 * Psychopathic Manchild: He didn't talk for his first few episodes, but when he finally did, his voice and personality were suprisingly childish. He eventually takes on the human form of a ten or eleven-year-old child.
 * He shows how psychopathic he is in 38 when he blasts Gamel across the room FOR TOUCHING HIS SOCCER BALL.
 * Tyke Bomb: Kazari seems to have this in mind for him. He might not actually be a child physically, but mentally he is. Kazari even refers to him as a "baby bird looking for its mother."

The Monster of the Week. They're created from human desire by the Greeed for the purpose of creating Cell Medals. They start out life as identical faceless mummy-like creatures called White Yummy that are made from a Cell Medal inserted into a human host by their master. They then proceed to eat the thing their host desires, and a lot of it until they finally become their animal-like complete form, but they can still continue to eat to become stronger. This food is converted into Cell Medals, which 'bleed' out when the Yummy is wounded; when they're destroyed, they explode into a shower of Medals, the stronger the Yummy, the more you get.

"Unicorn Yummy: "Save your dreams for the night.""
 * Asteroids Monster: The jellyfish creatures spawned by the Yummy in episodes 19/20
 * Blade Below the Shoulder: The Mantis Yummy has hook-like blades on the sides of his fingers. In addition, he looks creepily like a mad slasher...
 * Catch Phrase: Certain Yummy are articulate enough to have these.


 * Everything's Even Worse with Sharks: Mezool's second batch.
 * Japanese Beetle Brothers: Appear in episode 17. Notably the first Yummy two-for-one deal. The "Japanese" part even gets a push as being born from a kendo student gives them a samurai-looking design.
 * Literal Genie: Though the Yummy all exhibit this to varying extents, the Vulture Yummy fulfills its host's desire to be the only man remaining by beating up other men.
 * Literally Shattered Lives: The Ankylosaurus Yummy in #42 pulls this on a captive civilian in order to draw out OOO.
 * Love Makes You Crazy: The desire of the victim in episode 17-18.
 * Macross Missile Massacre: Used by the Ankylosaurus Yummy in episode 41-42, by shooting out its spikes.
 * Mega Neko: The apparent theme of Kazari's Yummies, starting with the Neko/Cat Yummy and Siam-Neko/Siamese Cat Yummy.
 * Mono-Gender Monsters: Averted in #13 with Kazari's Siamese Yummy.
 * Mook Maker: Gamel's Yummy come directly out of him, fully formed without having to eat anything (which may be explained by his simplistic thoughts and desires)
 * Uva can make (what Ankh has dubbed) Pseudo-Yummies, two at a time, by splitting a Cell Medal.
 * The Lion/ Yummy can spawn mini-mooks, most likely a result of Kazari.
 * No Mouth: White Yummy have no mouth, instead, they ether phase their 'food' into them or open a previously not present mouth elsewhere on their body.
 * No Sell: The Neko Yummy's fat body makes it immune to bladed attacks, which it doesn't even react to. Thankfully, blunt trauma is another story.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: The Dinosaur Yummies, who are fueled by the desire to reduce everything to nothingness.
 * Piranha Problem: Mezool's first swarm.
 * Somewhat averted at the end of #14; though they aren't even seen by Ankh or Eiji, Mezool managed to make another full batch of these suckers, and managed to get quite the payload out of them, which will no-doubt prove bad for our heroes further down the line.
 * Playing with Fire: The Cockatoo Yummy can breath fire.
 * Puppeteer Parasite: Certain Yummies, at least Kazari's, are parasites. When they enter their host, they take control of them and (in one case, so far) force them to eat their desire. Once again, some nasty results here.
 * Fridge Horror is (somewhat) averted with Kazari's second Yummy, who's linked to a surgeon. No, she doesn't go around eating patients; she just performs their surgeries in the dead of night without so much as one assistant, and without authorization. Thankfully, she's so talented that every single operation was successful, even earning her more fame than before.
 * Power of the Void: and by extension,Giru, The Pterodon Yummies can breathe a mist which dissolve anything caught in it to nothing.
 * Shock and Awe: The Stag Beetle Yummy seems to have inherited Uva's lightning attack.
 * Turtle Power: The Rikugame/Tortoise Yummy created by Gamel in episode 15.
 * Wolverine Claws: cat-type Yummys tend to have these.
 * Zerg Rush: Mezool's Yummies personify this trope. When the Cell Medal is inserted, it creates a nest of Roe-like eggs that multiply the more the host indulges in their desire, but the host isn't aware of the nest until it drops and hatches.

Nobunaga
"Live Actor: Kengo Ohkuchi

Suit Actor: Eitoku"

Yes, THAT Nobunaga. He is the Big Bad of the OOO portion of Movie Wars Core.


 * Animal Motifs:.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Being a warlord full of desire to conquer all, he does not understand why Eiji is content with just his simple drifter lifestyle.
 * Foil: He is portrayed as the opposite of Eiji. Nobunaga always looked at the big picture and wanted to own everything he could set his eyes on. Eiji looked more at the present and enjoyed the simple things, like the fact the sky is blue. This sparks some confusion for Nobunaga.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare: Invoked. One gets the idea that Nobunaga already has a gameplan for rebuilding his empire in any situation.
 * Historical Beauty Update:
 * Historical Villain Upgrade: What did you expect?
 * Instant Expert: Despite being from the 16th century, only one visit to the library gives Nobunaga super hacking skills. When an IT company he visits has a bug in their software that would take 2 hours to fix, Nobu simply fixes said bug in less than half a minute.
 * Katanas Are Just Better: Notably averted, as
 * Mega Corp: He wanted to set one up by buying every corporation he set his eyes on.
 * Our Homunculi Are Different: He is the cell-medal based replica of the original Nobunaga..
 * Pet the Dog:

 * It Was a Gift: Variation. The Reptile Core Medals were given to him by a foreign emissary; he passes them on to Eiji just as he needs them.
 * Katanas Are Just Better
 * Lantern Jaw of Justice
 * No Name Given: In a way. He goes by his incognito name Tokuda Shinnosuke here - it's up to anyone who recognises the actor, that pseudonym, the family symbol and if all fails, the theme from Abarenbo Shogun to figure out who he really is.
 * With My Hands Tied: Deliberately battles with his sword in Reverse Grip, a technique some may find familiar.
