 * Demoted to Extra: Despite having the specific role of Planar Champion, his appearances in subsequent Kamen Rider crossovers have him as Fake Shemp. Averted with Kamen Rider X Super Sentai Super Hero Taisen, where he's one of the two main characters (his counterpart being Captain Marvelous/Gokai Red).
 * Doppelganger Attack: The Decade: Illusion Attack Ride card.

 * Transforming Mecha: The Faiz: Autovajin and Kaixa: Side Basshar Attack Ride cards.

Natsumi Hikari
In spite of her terrifying dream, Natsumi refuses to believe Narutaki's ranting about Decade being a "destroyer of worlds". No-one she can keep in line with her family's pressure point technique could end up becoming a murderer of Riders...right?

Yuusuke OnoderaJokerJokerKamen Rider Kuuga
An Alternate Universe incarnation of the 1st Heisei era Kamen Rider, established in 2000. He tends not to get involved in fight scenes as much as Tsukasa and Kaitou, but is easily the friendliest and most approachable member of the team (to the point that Tsukasa snarks it's the only thing he's good for).


 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Three times over the course of the series, though in the second case it's more like Brainwashed and Mellow.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Finishing Move: Same as the original.
 * For Happiness: As with Godai, his motivation is to protect everyone's smiles.
 * The Heart
 * The McCoy
 * Multiform Balance: Possesses Mighty, Dragon, Pegasus, Titan, and Growing forms just like the original. He never achieves Rising or Amazing Mighty, but has one form Godai never did:.

Eijiro Hikari
Natsumi's Grandfather, who owns and runs the dimension-hopping photo studio. He's harmless enough, but it's unclear just how aware he is of the dimension-hopping superhero adventures going on around him, especially after we learn that


 * Cool Old Guy: Though he's not as active as others, he's the unflappable foundation of the Hikari Studio. He's also an excellent cook, preparing all sorts of fun treats, particularly cookies that look like the group during the Shinkenger arc.
 * Disney Death:
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Parental Substitute: Natsumi's flashbacks show that she's been living with Eijiro since she was a child.
 * Weirdness Censor: Absolutely nothing fazes this man. His reaction to the Spider Fangire and Sieg coming into the studio? Take their pictures; after all, they're customers.

Kivala
A mini-Kivat from the World of Kiva. She appears to be working with Narutaki at first, but gradually drifts towards the good guys


 * All There in the Manual: Backstory info reveals that she's Kivat the 3rd's little sister.
