List of Kamen Rider Build characters

Kamen Rider Build is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 28th installment in the Kamen Rider franchise and the 19th entry in the Heisei era.

Main characters

Sento Kiryu

Sento Kiryu is the main protagonist of the series. He is a genius physicist with amnesia, with his only memory being Night Rogue performing experiments on him, and was found by Sōichi Isurugi and offered shelter at Nascita. It is eventually revealed that his true identity was the demon scientist Takumi Katsuragi, whose memory was erased after a failed assassination attempt on Evolto and faced swapped with Tarō Satō. After learning of his true identity, there are times where Sento's and Takumi's personalities swap places, but the Takumi personality eventually chooses to disappear so Sento can defeat Evolto.
After the final battle, Sento is teleported to the "new world", which is actually the main Kamen Rider universe. Here, he is sometimes mistaken for this world's version of Tarō Satō, whom he becomes a fan of as revealed in Kamen Rider Zi-O.
Sento transforms into Kamen Rider Build by utilizing the Build Driver belt, which combines the essence contained within a pair of Fullbottles to access several forms. Certain combinations work better than others, with optimal combinations known as a Best Match and mismatches known as a Trial Form. His default Best Match is Rabbit Tank Form via the Rabbit and Tank Fullbottles. While transformed, he wields the Drill Crusher, which can switch between Blade Mode and Gun Mode. His personal vehicle is the Machine Builder motorcycle, which is summoned by using the Lion Fullbottle in conjunction with the Build Phone. Alongside his numerous Best Matches and Trial Forms, Sento develops several power-up forms, including:

Rabbit Tank Sparkling Form: An upgraded version of Rabbit Tank Form accessed from the drink can-like Rabbit Tank Carbonated water device that grants the ability to summon any of Sento's preexisting forms' weapons. In this form, he is equipped with a pair of forearm-mounted Sparkling Blades.
Hazard Form: Sento's super form accessed by combining the Build Driver and the Hazard Trigger adapter while using any Best Match combination in conjunction with the former that allows him to increase the capabilities of the corresponding form into a Super Best Match at the risk of losing control. He later creates the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle to stabilize the Hazard Trigger and evolve this form into one of two stronger versions. In both of this form's evolutions, he wields the Fullbottle Buster, which can switch between Buster Blade Mode and Buster Cannon Mode.
*Rabbit Rabbit Form: A red-colored evolution of Hazard Form accessed from the Rabbit Mode setting on the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle that grants superhuman speed.
*Tank Tank Form: A blue-colored evolution of Hazard Form accessed from the Tank Mode setting on the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle that grants superhuman strength.
Genius Form: Sento's final form accessed from the Nuclear reactor Fullbottle that grants the combined powers of all 60 original Fullbottles.
Cross-Z Build Form: A fusion form between Kamen Riders Build and Cross-Z accessed from the Cross-Z Build Can device that grants the use of the Best Match Rabbit support robot and the Best Match Dragon energy construct for combat assistance. This form first appears in the film Kamen Rider Build the Movie: Be the One.

Sento Kiryu is portrayed by Atsuhiro Inukai.

Ryuga Banjo

Ryuga Banjo is a 23-year-old former professional fighter from Yokohama. Prior to his birth, a portion of Evolto's essence fused with him in a failed attempt to possess his mother Yuri Banjo. As a result, Ryuga was born after only two months of gestation, and spent much of his childhood being tested on by Namba Industries. After Takumi Katsuragi learned of Ryuga's true nature, he attempted to lure him into his apartment and kill him and Evolto, but the plan backfired when Evolto erased Takumi's memories and killed Tarō Satō, with Ryuga being framed for the murder. After escaping prison, he was taken in by Sento Kiryu. His girlfriend was turned into a Smash and killed in front of him, with the resulting essence purified into the Dragon Fullbottle, which was given to him.
After the final battle, Ryuga is teleported to the "new world" where he encounters his alternate self off-screen before finally reuniting with Sento.
Ryuga receives the robotic Cross-Z Dragon adapter from Sento as a companion. He is also given a copy of the Build Driver, which he can combine with the Cross-Z Dragon while utilizing the Dragon Fullbottle in conjunction with the latter to transform into Kamen Rider Cross-Z. While transformed, he wields the Beat Closer sword. Unlike Build, Cross-Z cannot mix and match Fullbottles, as the Cross-Z Dragon only has one slot, but he compensates by being physically stronger. Over the course of the series, Ryuga acquires several evolutions of his Rider form, including:

Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge: An upgrade form accessed from the Dragon Sclashjelly in conjunction with the Sclash Driver that grants similar capabilities as Kamen Rider Grease. While transformed, he wields the Twin Breaker.
Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma: Ryuga's final form accessed by combining the Build Driver and the pyrokinetic Cross-Z Magma Knuckle while using the Cross-Z Magma Fullbottle, which was created from the Dragon Sclashjelly, in conjunction with the latter that grants a pair of Celestial Pyro Wings. During combat, he can wield the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle.
Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z: Ryuga's super form accessed by combining the Build Driver and the evolved Great Cross-Z Dragon adapter while using the Great Dragon Evolbottle, which was created from the Dragon Evolbottle, in conjunction with the latter that increases the capabilities of his default form.
Kamen Rider Cross-Z Evol: A fusion form between Kamen Riders Cross-Z and Evol accessed from the Muscle Galaxy Fullbottle that allows the former to use the latter's powers. This form appears exclusively in the V-Cinema Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z.

Ryuga Banjo is portrayed by Eiji Akaso.

Misora Isurugi

Misora Isurugi is Sōichi's 19-year-old daughter, who works as Sento's assistant in purifying Fullbottles. She gained her powers after being exposed to the Pandora Box and spending seven years in a coma. As well, she played a role in Project Build, as Evolto used Sōichi's memories of her drawings of organic and inorganic-based objects to influence Shinobu into developing the Best Match system. Faust kidnapped her for experimentation, but Sōichi rescued her a year prior to the series' events. She remained hidden in Nascita while using her online idol identity Miitan to gather intel and money from her fanbase.
Misora possesses the ability to purify and enhance Nebula Gas, which made her a target of Faust. Initially, using the ability put her to sleep for a week, but Sento later developed a machine to mitigate this. During the invasion by Seito, the western part of Japan, Misora's Martian bracelet is revealed to house the spirit of the Martian Vernage and is the source of her power.
The new world version of Misora regains the memories of her alternate self when the Pandora Box is reconstructed during Killbus' invasion and accepts Kazumi's proposal during the events of Downfall's attack.
Misora Isurugi is portrayed by Kaho Takada. As a child, Misora is portrayed by Noel Moriyama.

Recurring characters

She is later revealed to be a spy for Namba Heavy Industries, using her position to investigate the cover-up of an industrial accident she believes killed her father. She is actually a brainwashed Namba agent, with her motivating drive about her father being a fabrication. She was supposed to let herself die after failing Namba's mission, but the familial bonds she made with Sento and the others gave her a reason to live and influenced her decision to cut ties with Namba.

Sawa Takigawa is portrayed by Yukari Taki.

Nascita

Ten years prior to the series' events, he was the astronaut who discovered the Evol-Driver and the Pandora Box on Mars. This resulted in the alien entity Evolto possessing him and using him to commit numerous atrocities, including the Skywall Disaster. Sōichi's personality occasionally resurfaces to briefly fight Evolto before being suppressed. Sōichi was tricked into thinking that Evolto would leave his body upon retrieving the Evol-Driver, and ended up in a coma while Evolto possessed Ryuga and then Sento before creating his own body in Sōichi's image.
While possessed by Evolto, Sōichi utilizes the Cobra Fullbottle in conjunction with the Transteam Gun to transform into Blood Stalk. He also wields the Steam Blade dagger, which can combine with the Transteam Gun to form the Steam Rifle.

In hopes of obtaining financial support, he volunteered for Hokuto's military and underwent human experimentation by Faust. He first infiltrates Touto during the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider to reclaim the Phoenix and Robot Fullbottles for Hokuto. He is later deployed to lead the Hokuto army to invade Touto, and after Seito's invasion of Hokuto, he joins forces with those from Nascita in hopes of reclaiming his country.
Utilizing the Robot Sclashjelly stand-up pouch in conjunction with the Sclash Driver belt, Kazumi can transform into Kamen Rider Grease. While transformed, he wields the Twin Breaker, which can switch between its raygun-like Beam Mode and its dagger-like Attack Mode. He can also use the Dragon Sclashjelly to summon a second Twin Breaker.
During his final confrontation with Evolto, Kazumi receives the cryokinetic Grease Blizzard Knuckle from Sento, who warns him to only use the aforementioned device as a weapon, as transforming with it would kill him due to a recent overdose of Nebula Gas damaging his body. However, he ignores the warning as he combines a copy of the Build Driver and the Grease Blizzard Knuckle while using the North Blizzard Fullbottle in conjunction with the latter to transform into his final form, Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard, resulting in his death once the fight is over.
The new world version of Kazumi regains the memories of his alternate self when the Pandora Box is reconstructed and once again becomes Kamen Rider Grease once again. Unlike his original counterpart, he is able to become Grease Blizzard without the risk of death. After the events involving Downfall, Kazumi enters a relationship with Misora.

Faust is a mysterious terrorist organization that experiments on humans to create the Smash creatures. It was founded by Touto scientists Takumi Katsuragi and Gentoku Himuro. According to Gentoku, Faust's objectives are to achieve Takumi's goals of evolving humanity into the "ultimate lifeform". The organization was compromised by Evolto and Namba. who sought to reassemble the Pandora Box and repeat the calamity that destroyed the ancient Martian civilization.

Gentoku Himuro

Gentoku Himuro is the 35-year-old special advisor to his father, Prime Minister Taizan Himuro, and head of the Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics. He was once a eccentric but kind-hearted patriot, but his personality was altered after the Skywall Disaster and he became a sadistic and power-hungry maniac, performing questionable acts to ensure Touto's safety after deeming his father's pacifism a liability. He orchestrated Takumi Katsuragi's expulsion from the Touto Institute while unknowingly being manipulated by Sōichi Isurugi. After taking his late friend's position as the prime minister's advisor, Gentoku took the mantle of Night Rogue and declared leadership over Faust.
During his time as a special advisor, Gentoku manipulates events to achieve his goal of militarizing Touto. After his identity is exposed, he goes into exile and seeks refuge with Namba Industries, becoming Kamen Rider Rogue via the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle in conjunction with the Sclash Driver. While transformed, he wields the Nebulasteam Gun. His true nature begins emerging as the Pandora Box's corruption starts wearing off through his increased exposure to Nebula Gas. Witnessing his father's death finally restores Gentoku's original personality, and he joins forces with Sento to battle Evolt.

He excels at manipulating others, but can be taken off guard when his plans do not go as planned. He is also unable to feel human emotions as a result of using multiple host bodies and being exposed to Build. Prior to the series' events, he stole the Pandora Box and escaped from his brother Killbus, who was using the Box to destroy his home planet. After the destruction of his planet, he used the power of the Pandora Box to destroy planets to absorb their energy and gain power. Until he destroyed the Martian civilization, he was rendered incorporeal and lost his true physical form before Vernage sealed him and his damaged Evol-Trigger within the Pandora Box.
Utilizing a pair of Evol-Bottles in conjunction with the Evol-Driver belt, Evolto can transform into Kamen Rider Evol.

Guardians

The Guardians are enforcement androids mass-produced by Namba Industries as peacekeepers of each country, though it is not initially known that they are supporting governments outside Touto. They also act as Faust sleeper agents awaiting activation by Blood Stalk.
They wield Safeguard Rifles and ride motorcycles called Capital Roaders. Several of them can combine together to form a single giant robot equipped with multiple guns. Under Faust's servitude, the reprogrammed Guardians can act as suicide bombers.

Smash

The Smash are monsters formed by humans injected with liquefied Nebula Gas as part of Faust's experiments, with the subjects losing most of their memories. To revert a Smash back to a normal human, the Kamen Riders must defeat them and extract their essence into an empty Fullbottle. Faust agents are given their own Fullbottles to transform into their Smash forms, which are equipped with a self-destruct function. Silver-colored Smash are stronger versions achieved through exposure to Nebula Gas of higher Hazard Levels. The experiment's goal is to find a perfect candidate for the Build Driver, with the Smash transformations considered failures. Each victim is ranked by their tolerance of Nebula Gas, called Hazard Levels.

Clone Smash

The Clone Smash, unlike regular Smash, are created from pure Nebula Gas and attack until destroyed. Being enhanced versions of the Press, Stretch, Strong and Flying Smash Hazard, they are stronger and more durable because they cannot feel pain. The Clone Smash are later used as materials to power a Lost Fullbottle and enable its user's transformation into a Lost Smash.

Lost Smash

Lost Smash are Smash breeds created by Evolto and Katsuragi as the final Smash evolution. The experiment includes a human victim being heavily dosed with Nebula Gas and transformed into the Lost Smash by absorbing a pair of nearby Clone Smash. They are naive and highly aggressive, and also bound to die upon defeat. The Genius Fullbottle of Kamen Rider Build has the ability to save these victims and remove traces of Nebula Gas.

Namba Heavy Industries

Namba Heavy Industries Ltd is a company established by Jūzaburō Namba which provides financial support to Faust. Because of its influence, all three countries attempted to distance themselves from Namba, although the company has agents placed within the governments' infrastructures.

Jūzaburō Namba

Jūzaburō Namba is the corrupt, power-hungry, and war-mongering chairman of Namba, who will do anything to attain his goals. He initially collaborates with Faust and Evolto to acquire the Build system for military applications, but has a secret agenda to use the Pandora Box's energy to create weapons of mass destruction. He also brainwashed children to act as his agents, including Sawa Takigawa. However, he is not completely cruel, as he is shown to be close to Nariaki Utsumi in flashbacks.
His ultimate goal is to use the power of the Pandora Box to reform Japan and the entire world and rule it in his image. However, Evolto exploited him for its own agenda. Namba then requests aid from the Kamen Riders to oppose Evolto, but they fail and Evolto kills Namba as he is begging for his life.
In the merged universe at the end of the series, an alternate Namba owns a metalworking factory known as Namba Machine Workshop.
Jūzaburō Namba is portrayed by Akira Hamada, while Norimasa Fuke portrays his disguise as Masakuni Midō.

Nariaki Utsumi

Nariaki Utsumi is the 28-year-old secretary of Himuro, who was formally a scientist at the Touto Institute. While seemingly an open-minded person, he is actually a callous sadist loyal to Faust. Despite his commitment to Faust, Gentoku and Namba Heavy Industries, he expresses regret over his life choices, even commenting to Sento about their similar predicaments. To conceal Faust's activities, he became a scapegoat by masquerading as Night Rogue. He attempts to commit suicide, but Sento stops him; however, he is gravely injured and converted into a cyborg by Evolto. Utsumi then returned to Namba as his spokesperson and developed the Rider Systems for Hokuto and Seito, gathering data on the Hazard Trigger while perfecting the Kaiser System.
Nariaki Utsumi is portrayed by Yuki Ochi. As a child, Utsumi is portrayed by Yusei Ohtake.

Washio Brothers

The Washio Brothers are a pair of siblings from Seito who serve alongside Gentoku as Seito's main troopers. The indoctrination and training they received transformed them into sadistic soldiers who use deception and dirty tricks to accomplish their tasks. They transform using the Kaiser System developed by Kaisei Mogami and Nariaki Utsumi, with a shared Nebulasteam Gun. Because of their limited supply in weaponry, the Nebulasteam Rifle can only be wielded by one of them at a time.
After Evolto declares war against Namba Heavy Industries, the Washio Brothers form an uneasy alliance with the Riders before dying. However, Evolto created copies of their Kaiser forms as guardians at the Pandora Tower. Utsumi reveals that he sabotaged the Kaiser Systems and programmed both Same and Bike Fullbottles as countermeasures, which Rogue and Mad Rogue use to destroy the copies.

Fū Washio

Fū Washio is the older brother, who is the more level-headed of the two. He uses the Gear Remocon to transform into a turquoise-colored version of Kaiser known as Remocon Bros.

As Remocon is the primary user of the Nebulasteam Gun, Engine uses the Steam Blade as his main weapon. Engine Bros is the most vulnerable of the pair and can be weakened with water-based attacks. During an alliance with the Riders against Evolto, he is the first to be killed after being caught in their former companion's black hole, giving his Gear Engine to Fū before his death.
Rai Washio is portrayed by Yuudai Nasuda. As a child, Rai is portrayed by Taiga Watanabe.

Hard Guardians

The Hard Guardians are enhanced versions of the Guardians which Namba Heavy Industries mass-produced following Seito's declaration of war on Touto. When Namba Heavy is disbanded, the remaining units are put under Evolto's control and serve as the front line of Pandora Tower's defense.
The Hard Guardians are equipped with a combat AI unit, Gatling guns on their right arm, clawed gauntlets on their left arm, and shoulder-mounted missile pods, with an improved drive module placed on each joint to enhance mobility. Their equipment can be replaced depending on the combat situation and can fight on equal terms against Rider System users.

Takumi Katsuragi

Takumi Katsuragi is a 26-year-old man and the past identity of Sento Kiryu, infamously known among his peers as "The Devil's Scientist". During the Sky Disaster, he was unaware of the full truth at the time and promised his father Shinobu that he would stop the Blood Race from destroying the Earth. During this time, he restarted Project Build and subjected himself to Nebula Gas to become Kamen Rider Build, but was banned for conducting unethical human experimentations with the Nebula Gas to evolve humanity.
During this period, Takumi assisted his former Touto colleague Kaisei Mogami in building the Enigma system to travel to another reality. While testing the performance of Kamen Rider Build in said world, he twice intervened in the confrontation between humans and Bugster. Having accidentally killed Kamen Rider Genm prior, Build went on to extract Ex-Aid's samples into a single Fullbottle before foiling Mogami's intent to cause a convergence between the two realities.
Takumi Katsuragi is portrayed by Yukiaki Kiyama, and his cameo appearances as Build in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid were voiced by Atsuhiro Inukai.

Shinobu Katsuragi

Shinobu Katsuragi is Takumi's father and a member of the Kiwami Project, which saw Sōichi Isurugi come into contact with the Pandora Box. Shinobu conducted illegal research on an infant Ryuga, and later led the conference of the Pandora Box's discovery when Evolto caused the Skywall Disaster. Soon after, his reputation was ruined as he was used as a scapegoat. He later faked his suicide after cryptically informing Takumi that Ryuga is essential to stopping Evolto and his kin, enlisting Reika Kine's aid in smuggling himself out of Touto.
Shinobu secretly aided Evolto for ten years by using his research in an attempt to repair the Evol-Driver before Takumi found and hid it. He also developed a man-made variant of Fullbottles called Lost Fullbottles, also referred to as Lost Bottles, which allow the user to transform into a Lost Smash but have heightened aggression and suggestibility. Shinobu resurfaces when Sento and his allies are searching for the Lost Fullbottles, revealing his alliance with Evolto while alienating Sento. However, his true plan was to pretend to be Evolto's ally while creating a specialized Best Match combination that could defeat him. He reveals his intentions to Sento when he thinks Evolto is defeated, but Evolto recovers. He fatally wounds Shinobu, but he lives long enough to give Sento his data to finalize the Cross-Z Build Form and apologize for hurting him. He comes back to life and like his son, he works as a scientist at the Japan Institute of Advanced Matter Physics in the new world. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease, he creates a copy of the Build Driver, which was owned by the Japanese government before being stolen by Downfall. After Downfall is defeated, he apologizes to Takumi for using him in the old world.
As the founder of the Rider System, Shinobu possesses his own copy of the Build Driver and a set of Fullbottles to transform into another Kamen Rider Build. While having access to Best Match forms, he is capable of outmaneuvering the strongest of his opponents in one-on-one fights, though struggles when fighting multiple opponents. He can also use another Fullbottle's power without transitioning, such as using the Phoenix Fullbottle as an escape while still in Rabbit Tank Form.
Shinobu Katsuragi is portrayed by Zyouzi Kokubo.

Prime ministers

Taizan Himuro

Taizan Himuro is the 67-year-old father of Gentoku and the prime minister of Touto, a pacifist state that possesses enough military strength for self-defense. Despite the rivalries between the states, Taizan wishes for Japan to reunite. Due to his poor health, he sent his son Gentoku to the unveiling of the Pandora Box, and retained his sanity as the only leader unaffected by its radiation. He suffered a heart attack during Faust's raid on a Touto facility, and entrusted Gentoku as acting prime minister, unaware that he is actually high-ranking Faust-member Night Rogue. As a result, the Touto government is compromised until Sento and Ryuga defeat Night Rogue and expose his identity to Taizan, who orders his son to be taken into custody. Sōichi later poisons Taizan, and Gentoku regains emergency power to rule Touto. Taizan eventually recovers through Misora's power and exiles Gentoku while seeking to end the war with the least bloodshed. Despite his son's actions, he believes there is still good in him.
As Namba and Stalk enact their plan, Gentoku kidnaps Taizan so Stalk can force Sento into reviving the original Project Build. Gentoku works with the Kamen Riders against Evolto to save his father, but the plan backfires and Evolto transforms into Kamen Rider Evol. Taizan becomes Evolto's first victim after sacrificing his life to save Gentoku from him, allowing Gentoku to return to his true self.
Taizan Himuro is portrayed by Meikyo Yamada.

Yoshiko Tajimi

Yoshiko Tajimi is the 53-year-old prime minister of Hokuto, a social welfare state which prioritizes the needs of its people. The Skywall Disaster rendered most of the farmland infertile and caused an economic collapse that forced many citizens to withdraw their children from school. Tajimi's personality was affected by radiation from the Pandora Box, and she secretly directed government funds from social welfare to the military. The machinations of Sōichi, Namba and Gentoku cause war between the other two countries, who seek to take the Pandora Box by force, and she declares war on Touto. Her ruthless behavior during the invasion disgusts Kazumi, as he threatens her to stop targeting innocent civilians.
During Touto's fight against Hokuto, Tajimi acts on Sōichi's advice to station her military on Touto's border to invade if Grease was defeated. But Tajimi realizes she had been manipulated into leaving her nation vulnerable to Seito, which invade and take her into custody. She is later brainwashed by Evolto and transformed into the Owl Lost Smash before being defeated and freed by Kamen Rider Build's Genius Form. This purified her mind and caused her to be remorseful for her actions, leaving her as the only surviving prime minister.
Yoshiko Tajimi is portrayed by Ryoko Gi.

Masakuni Midō

Masakuni Midō is the 61-year-old prime minister of Seito, which seeks economic recovery through technical advancement and has sent its young adults across the world to gather technical knowledge. Midō expresses interest in Tajimi's offer for alliance, but stands by while Hokuto and Touto weaken each other in warfare. When Hokuto loses to Touto, Midō sends Seito's military to invade Hokuto and capture Tajimi.
After losing the fight against Touto, Midō keeps his agreement with Touto while having a falling out with Namba. This results in Evolto killing him and having Namba assume his identity to use the country for Namba Heavy Industries' operations and his schemes. Evolto later poses as Midō during his endgame plan and places his kinsmen into governor positions.
Masakuni Midō is portrayed by Norimasa Fuke.

Vernage

Vernage is the former queen of Mars, who survived the destruction of her civilization at the cost of her physical form. While being a powerful entity, her life force is slowly diminishing. She managed to seal Evolto and his Evol-Trigger into the Pandora Box, while separating his Evol-Driver to prevent him from using it to free himself. When the artifacts are returned to Earth, her spirit is preserved in a bracelet which a young Misora found.
Vernage is voiced by Sora Amamiya.

Ten years ago, while researching parallel universes, he found the Bugster Virus at the Skywall and concluded it was from a parallel universe. He wanted to create the interdimensional gateway Enigma, but was unable to get funding, so he moved to Namba Heavy Industries to continue his research. With Takumi's help, he developed both the Kaiser system and the Enigma, allowing him to make contact with the prime universe version of himself, who is a Foundation X scientist. However, he lost the left side of his body due to an Enigma accident caused by Takumi, who opposed his ultimate goal, and became a cyborg. He resurfaces to cause the fusion and destruction of the two universes using the Enigma, and fuse with his counterpart to form a single immortal entity and become the ruler of all universes. The two Mogamis form an alliance and employ Foundation X's version of the Guardians, known as the X Guardians, while creating the Nebula Bugster strain. Both Mogamis eventually fuse, but their plans are foiled and Ex-Aid and Build defeat them, with the latter fulfilling their scheme to merge their dimensions months later while defeating Evolto.
Mogami can transform into the blue-colored Kaiser, while his counterpart transforms into the red-colored Kaiser Reverse. They can combine to form a single entity known as Bi-Kaiser. Utsumi acquires the Kaiser System blueprints after Mogami's death and perfects the technology, which he gives to Seito as the developed Hell Bros gear the Washio Brothers use.
Kaisei Mogami is portrayed by Kenji Ohtsuki.
