List of Kamen Rider Drive characters

Kamen Rider Drive is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 25th installment in the Kamen Rider franchise and the 16th entry in the Heisei era. The series follows police officer Shinnosuke Tomari after he is chosen by an advanced artificial intelligence called Mr. Belt to become the titular Kamen Rider Drive to battle the Roidmudes, androids that wish to usurp humanity as the dominant species on Earth through their ability to slow the passage of time.

Main characters

Shinnosuke Tomari

Shinnosuke Tomari is a detective of the Metropolitan Police's First Investigation Division who seeks to solve the mystery behind his father Eisuke's death. Prior to the series, amidst the "Global Freeze", Shinnosuke accidentally abandoned his partner, Akira Hayase, who was left critically injured. Upon hearing of this, the former lost all motivation to be a police officer and was transferred to the Special Investigations Division. After encountering Mr. Belt, Shinnosuke secretly becomes Kamen Rider Drive to combat the Roidmudes, who caused the Global Freeze. Following the Roidmudes' defeat and the Special Investigations Division's disbandment, Shinnosuke is promoted to police sergeant and transferred back to the First Investigation Division. As of the crossover films Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis and Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Rider and the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach, Shinnosuke goes on to marry his Special Investigations partner, Kiriko Shijima, and have a son named Eiji.
Utilizing one of several Shift Cars in conjunction with the Drive Driver belt and the Shift Brace, Shinnosuke can transform into Kamen Rider Drive. While transformed, he wields the Steering wheel and the Car door. Unlike most Kamen Riders, his personal vehicle is the Tridoron sports car, which has alternate dune buggy and garbage truck forms and can combine with a pair of Ride Booster go-karts to form the Booster Tridoron hovercraft. He can also use other Shift Cars to either perform a Tire Exchange technique and grant himself unique abilities or alternate between varying Type forms, which are as follows:

Type Speed: Shinnosuke's default form accessed from the Shift Speed Car that grants superhuman speed.
Type Wild: An auxiliary form accessed from the Shift Wild Car that grants superhuman strength.
Type Technic: An auxiliary form accessed from the Shift Technic Car that grants superhuman intelligence.
Type Dead Heat: An upgrade form accessed from the Shift Dead Heat Shift Car that grants the ability to emulate Heart's Dead Zone at the risk of losing control and limited immunity to Super Heavy Acceleration fields. While using the Mach Driver Honoh to assume this form, Shinnosuke is referred to as Kamen Rider Dead Heat Drive.
Type Formula: Shinnosuke's super form accessed from the Shift Formula Car that grants aerokinesis, superhuman speed, and immunity to Super Heavy Acceleration fields. In this form, he wields the Trailer-Hou, which can switch between its vehicle-like Semi-trailer truck and its rifle-like Cannon Mode. However, extended use of this form puts Shinnosuke at risk of mechanical shock. Because of this, he requires the use of three pit crew equipment-themed Tire Exchange Shift Cars to repair his transformation whenever it is damaged.
Type Tridoron: Shinnosuke's final form accessed from the Shift Tridoron Car that converts the Tridoron into his armor and grants the use of the Tire Blending ability to fuse three Tire Exchange Shift Cars of a particular set into a singular one with their combined powers. If necessary, Mr. Belt can assume control of the form.
Type Fruits: A special form accessed from the Shift Fruits Car that grants proficiency in sword fighting. In this form, Shinnosuke wields Kamen Rider Gaim's Musou Saber and Daidaimaru. This form appears exclusively in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle.
Type High Speed: A special form accessed from the Shift High Speed Car that grants similar capabilities as Shinnosuke's Type Speed. This form appears exclusively in the Hyper Battle DVD special Type High Speed! The True Power! Type High Speed Is Born!.
Kamen Rider Super Dead Heat Drive: A special form accessed from the Tridoron Car key, which can control the Tridoron and serves as a backup for Mr. Belt's consciousness, in conjunction with the Mach Driver Honoh that grants similar capabilities as Shinnosuke's Type Dead Heat. This form appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future.
Type Special: A fusion form between the present and future Kamen Rider Drives accessed from the dark blue-colored Special side of the latter's Shift Next Special Car that allows the former to use his descendant's powers. This form appears exclusively in the film Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future.
Kamen Rider Zero Drive: A prototypical version of [|Kamen Rider Proto Drive] accessed from the Shift Speed Prototype Car. This form appears exclusively in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis.

Shinnosuke Tomari is portrayed by Ryoma Takeuchi. As a child, Shinnosuke is portrayed by Ryohei Aoki.

Mr. Belt

"Mr. Belt" is an artificial intelligence who was originally Krim Steinbelt, a human scientist who created the Core Driviars, the technology used in Kamen Rider Drive's Shift Cars and Tridoron as well as his colleague Tenjuro Banno's Roidmudes, who killed him and led to him uploading his consciousness into the Drive Driver. During the Global Freeze, Mr. Belt worked with [|Proto Zero] as Kamen Rider Proto Drive to combat the Roidmudes until the latter's apparent death. In the intervening months, Mr. Belt upgraded the Drive arsenal until he is found by and chose Shinnosuke Tomari to become Kamen Rider Drive because of the officer's tendency to act first without hesitation. Mr. Belt continues to fight alongside Tomari and the Special Investigations Division until Banno and the Roidmudes are eventually defeated. Following this, Mr. Belt bids farewell to his allies before sealing himself and the Drive arsenal beneath the Kuruma Driver's License Center to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands by the series finale, though he returns twice to help Shinnosuke during the events of the crossover films Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis and Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Rider.
Mr. Belt is voiced by Chris Peppler, who also portrays Krim Steinbelt and serves as the series narrator.

Kiriko Shijima

Kiriko Shijima is an athletic officer in the Special Investigations Division who tries to maintain a serious exterior by refusing to smile and working with mechanical precision, though she loses her composure whenever Shinnosuke points out the times she does smile and is forced to physically drag him back to work when he slacks off, often handcuffing him in the process. After being attacked by the Paint Roidmude and rescued by Kamen Rider Proto Drive during the Global Freeze, she attempts to become Kamen Rider Drive. Due to being incompatible however, she assists Shinnosuke as Drive in the field and is, as such, initially the only member of the division who is aware of his secret identity. Additionally, she was aware of her father, Tenjuro Banno's, evil despite not knowing him personally and did her best to protect her brother Go from the truth. She would later help Chase recover his memories upon learning he was Proto Drive and, following the Special Investigations Division's disbandment, join Shinnosuke in the First Investigation Division. As of the crossover films Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis and Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Rider and the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach, Kiriko goes on to marry Shinnosuke and have a son named Eiji.
Kiriko Shijima is portrayed by Rio Uchida. As a child, Kiriko is portrayed by Yui Kato.

Go Shijima

Go Shijima is Kiriko's younger brother who lived in the United States for some time, working as a freelance photographer, before eventually returning to Japan to fight the Roidmudes as Kamen Rider Mach. Having dedicated himself to destroying his father, Tenjuro Banno's, work, Go displays a hatred for the Roidmudes and develops a rivalry with Chase before eventually warming up to him. Upon learning Banno's consciousness is stored in Brain's tablet computer, Go pretends to betray his allies to get closer to the Roidmude leaders and rescue him while working undercover as "Mr. X" to covertly help the Special Investigations Division. After eventually rescuing Banno however, Go discovers the former used him in a plot to enact a second Global Freeze and joins forces with Chase to stop him before returning to America in the hopes of reviving Chase, becoming a famous photographer along the way.
In the tie-in novel Novel: Kamen Rider Drive: Mach Saga, Go's grudge against the Roidmudes is revealed to have stemmed from Roidmudes 017 and 018 killing his friend Ethan Woodward and Go being unable to save him. Afterward, Professor Harley Hendrickson rescued Go and prepared him to face the Roidmudes. In the present, Go develops a mutual attraction towards Reiko Nishiori due to their similar backgrounds and battles the Revenger Roidmude after the latter contributes to Reiko's father's death, seemingly destroying the monster. During the events of the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach, Go works to find proof of Reiko's innocence after the Revenger Roidmude frames her for his crimes and permanently destroys the Roidmude, clearing her name and entering a relationship with her.
Utilizing the Signal Mach Bike in conjunction with the Mach Driver Honoh belt, Go can transform into Kamen Rider Mach. While transformed, he wields the Zenrin Shooter handgun/knuckleduster hybrid. His personal vehicles are the Ride Macher motorcycle, which can combine with the Ride Chaser to form the Ride Crosser car, and the Ride Booster Red go-kart. Similarly to Shinnosuke, most of Go's Signal Bikes allow him to perform a Signal Exchange technique and grant himself unique abilities while some allow him to assume power-up forms, such as the following:

Kamen Rider Dead Heat Mach: An upgraded version of Go's Rider form accessed from the Shift Dead Heat Shift Car that grants similar capabilities as Shinnosuke's Type Dead Heat, though the former later manages to overcome the Dead Zone's side effects.
*Kamen Rider Super Dead Heat Mach: The evolved form of Dead Heat Mach accessed from the Shift Viral Core. This form appears exclusively in the tie-in novel Novel: Kamen Rider Drive: Mach Saga.
Kamen Rider Chaser Mach: A fusion form between Kamen Riders Mach and Chaser accessed from the latter's Signal Chaser Bike that allows the former to use all of their powers and weapons at once.
*Kamen Rider Mach Chaser: The evolved form of Chaser Mach accessed from the Shift Ride Crosser Car. This form appears exclusively in the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach.

Go Shijima is portrayed by Yu Inaba. As a child, Go is portrayed by Ryu Hashizume.

Chase

Chase, also known as Roidmude 000 and Proto Zero, is a soft-spoken specially modified Roidmude created to serve as Krim Steinbelt's aide. During the Global Freeze, Chase attempted to stop the Roidmudes as Kamen Rider Proto Drive before he was captured and reprogrammed by Freeze, Heart, and [|Brain] to work for them as their "Grim Reaper", Mashin Chaser, while adopting the form of traffic police officer Koichi Kano as a civilian disguise. With no recollection of his past save for a directive to protect humans, Chase is tasked with destroying rogue Roidmudes' bodies and taking their numbers so Brain can reset them, developing a rivalry with Shinnosuke in the process and slowly regaining his memories. In response to the latter, Medic reprograms Chase to protect Roidmudes instead of humans, during which he develops a separate rivalry with Go Shijima until he is eventually defeated by Shinnosuke. Presumed dead, Kiriko finds and nurses Chase back to health in return for him saving her during the Global Freeze.
Initially torn over whether to be a Roidmude or a Kamen Rider, he chooses to become the latter after Kiriko gives him to the means to become Kamen Rider Chaser and attempts to become more human after learning of human emotions. Along the way, he develops an attraction towards her, though he realizes she loves Shinnosuke and continues to bear an unrequited love for her to become closer to being human. Amidst Tenjuro Banno's attempt to enact a second Global Freeze, Chase joins forces with Go to stop him, sacrificing himself in the process. Following this, Go takes Chase's Signal Chaser Bike with him to the U.S. in the hopes of reviving him someday.
Throughout the series, Chase has assumed the following forms:

Kamen Rider Proto Drive: Chase's original Rider form and the prototypical version of Kamen Rider Drive accessed from the Shift Speed Prototype Car in conjunction with the Drive Driver and Shift Brace.
Mashin Chaser: Chase's Kamen Rider-esque warrior form accessed from the Break Gunner firearm, which can switch between Raygun and Brass knuckles, that grants the use of three Chaser Viral Cores, which allow him to augment himself into varying Tune Chaser forms. His personal vehicle is the Ride Chaser motorcycle.
*Super Mashin Chaser: An evolution of Chase's Mashin Chaser form accessed from the Rhinoceros Viral Core in conjunction with the Break Gunner that grants the use of the Rhino Strizer blade. This form appears exclusively in the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser.
Kamen Rider Chaser: Chase's second Rider form accessed from the Signal Chaser Bike in conjunction with the Mach Driver Honoh that grants similar capabilities as Kamen Rider Mach. While transformed, he wields the Break Gunner and the Traffic light#Pedestrian signals. He can also use a repaired version of the Shift Speed Prototype Car to gain superhuman speed. His personal vehicles are the Ride Chaser and the Ride Booster Blue go-kart.

Chase is portrayed by Taiko Katono, who also portrays Koichi Kano, while Proto Drive is voiced by Daichi Endō in Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser.

Recurring characters

Special Investigations Division

The Metropolitan Police's Special Investigations Division is a separate branch of the Metropolitan Police charged with investigating Roidmude and "Heaviness"-related incidents that is based inside the Kuruma Driver's License Center. Despite being allies of Kamen Rider Drive, few of their number are initially aware of his secret identity until he is forced to expose it later in the series. Following the Roidmudes' destruction, the Special Investigations Division is disbanded in the series finale, but is revived two years later during the events of the tie-in novel Novel: Kamen Rider Drive: Mach Saga and the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach.

Jun Honganji

Jun Honganji is the Chief of the Special Investigations Division who comes off as an incompetent and goofy management level employee more concerned with pleasing his superiors and keeping an eye on his subordinates to ensure they stay out of trouble, but is secretly an astute and perceptive officer. An avid believer in divination and fortune-telling, he also has a tendency to wear an appropriately colored tie based on the day's lucky color. Later in the series, Honganji reveals he was always aware of Shinnosuke's activities as Kamen Rider Drive, a longtime friend of Krim Steinbelt's, and that he personally established and maintained the Special Investigations Division to support Drive. Additionally, his apparent sycophancy was a front for him to find information on the Global Freeze from the police force's upper levels. Following the Special Investigations Division's disbandment, Honganji eventually rises through the ranks to become the Deputy Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department.
In an alternate timeline depicted in the film Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3, Honganji continues to lead the Special Investigations Division with Rinna Sawagami and Kyu Saijo, being one of the few people who are largely immune to Shocker's changes to the timeline. After learning of what happened, he keeps Kamen Rider Black safe until he is killed by Cheetahkatatsumuri.
Jun Honganji is portrayed by Tsurutaro Kataoka.

Rinna Sawagami

Rinna Sawagami is the Special Investigations Division's visiting electro-physicist who is in charge of engineering. Though she displays anxiety about her situation, her bright personality still brings up her teammates' spirits. Later in the series, she is revealed to be the engineer behind most of Shinnosuke's arsenal and aware of his and Mr. Belt's work. Following the Special Investigations Division's disbandment, she returns to academia, becomes an expert in electro-physics, and is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Rinna Sawagami is portrayed by Rei Yoshii.

Kyu Saijo

Kenta Imai, also known as Kyu Saijo, is the Special Investigations Division's visiting network engineer and resident electronic networks expert who often serves as an information gatherer. Due to his obsessive personality, he also displays an intense fascination towards the topics the Special Investigations Division covers, such as the occult. Following the division's disbandment, Saijo becomes a popular network researcher and author, with his novel Mechanical Friendship becoming a best seller.
Kyu Saijo is portrayed by Kenta Hamano.

Genpachiro Otta

Genpachiro Otta is a lieutenant in the Metropolitan Police's First Investigation Division, the first group to be sent out to investigate crimes, and liaison between his group and the Special Investigations Division. Despite dismissing the latter group as an "occult club", he is quite fond of Shinnosuke, which he tries to hide. Following the Special Investigations Division's disbandment, Otta is promoted to police inspector for, later chief of, the First Investigation Division.
In an alternate timeline depicted in the film Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3, Otta became a Shocker general and the monstrous Cheetahkatatsumuri before he is killed by Kamen Riders 1, 2, and 3.

Roidmudes

The Roidmudes are 108 androids that wish to usurp humanity as Earth's dominant species. Designed by Professor Tenjuro Banno as life forms capable of evolving like and mimicking humans 15 years prior to the series, his friend and colleague, Krim Steinbelt unwittingly provided him with prototype Core Driviars to complete their development. Following their activation six months prior to the series, the Roidmudes launched a full-scale attack on Northeastern Asia in an event called the Global Freeze. In the present, the Roidmudes operate in the shadows to pursue varying individual agendas, create four Over-Evolved Roidmudes, and find the "Promised Number" even as their numbers are reduced by Kamen Riders Drive, Mach, and Chaser, among others. If a Roidmude works against their plan, the leading members will have the dissenter's body destroyed so their Core can be reset back into line. Upon learning of Banno's plot to sacrifice four of them to the Sigma Circular to instigate a second Global Freeze across the rest of the world, several of the Roidmudes help the Riders thwart him, resulting in most of the androids' destruction.
Roidmudes possess the ability to produce Heavy Acceleration fields, which is colloquially referred to as "Heaviness" and drastically decelerates everything around them, with victims caught in the fields describing it as the sudden physical sensation of slowed time. To sustain, empower, and evolve themselves, the Roidmudes use devices called Viral Cores. All Roidmudes possess a Core, which contains their essence, and start out as Plain Roidmudes, which are divided between the following variations: Cobra-Types, which possess superhuman strength; Spider-Types, which can cling to walls and ceilings as well as produce spider silk; and flight-capable Bat-Types. As long as their core remains intact, the Roidmudes can survive losing a physical body and revive themselves with a Viral Core.
If Plain Roidmudes copy the appearances and memories of a particular target and gain enough information, they can evolve into Advanced Roidmudes, gaining a distinct personality reflecting their new individualized form and the ability to spread their Heavy Acceleration fields across multiple city blocks. If they absorb multiple Viral Cores at once, they can transform into Giant Roidmudes, which resembles their base Viral Core.
Following Chase's defection, Freeze develops Neo Viral Cores, which allow Roidmudes to fuse with a human and instantly assume a red-colored Fusion Evolved Form via symbiosis. If a Roidmude forms a connection with a particular emotion and exceeds a certain limit, they can evolve into a gold-colored Over-Evolved Form.

Heart

The Heart Roidmude, also known simply as Heart and formerly known as Roidmude 002, is a jovial and hedonistic yet imposing namesake-themed Spider-Type Roidmude and the field leader of the Roidmude forces stationed in Japan. He refers to his fellow Roidmudes as his friends, desires a worthy opponent to fight, and can assume the human guise of Shinzo Hiroi, a businessman who refused to invest in Heart's creator, Tenjuro Banno's, research. Years prior to the series, he was tortured by Banno before eventually joining Freeze and Brain in killing him and Krim Steinbelt, though Heart was left with a hatred for humanity.
In the present, Heart finds his rival in Shinnosuke Tomari, admiring his strength and honor, and uses this to achieve his Over-Evolved form. After learning Banno survived, Heart breaks off from his fellow Roidmudes to focus on killing him permanently, to the detriment of all else and refusing to forgive humanity as a result. However, he is forced to work with Banno after the latter takes Medic and a member of the Grim Reaper Unit hostage. When Brain sacrifices himself to save Medic, Heart helps the Kamen Riders defeat Banno and destroy the Sigma Circular. Unfortunately for him, he still refusing to let go of his grudge about coexistence and tries to attack Shinnosuke, only he was succumbed when he was heavily injured by the Sigma Circular. Nonetheless, he later apologizes for everything and finally let his grudge go before dying in peace.
Two years later, during the events of the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart, Heart is revived by Go Shijima, Rinna Sawagami, and Kyu Saijo, who intended to revive Chase, with Brain and Medic's Cores within him. After learning of Roidmude 5886 attacking the various human templates the Roidmudes mimicked or fused with and seeking redemption for his and his kind's crimes, Heart volunteers to help stop it, but is unable to regain the full potential of his former Roidmude power. Instead, he uses the Shift Heartron Car in conjunction with copies of the Drive Driver and Shift Brace to transform into Kamen Rider Heart and combine his power with Brain and Medic's in order to defeat 5886, though their Cores are overloaded and they are destroyed once more. Despite this, a changed Heart dies believing humans and Roidmudes can coexist.
In his Roidmude form, Heart can strengthen himself via joy as his emotional catalyst and possesses heat absorption capabilities, the ability to adapt to opponents' power and strategies once he has fought them once, the ability to grow stronger over time, illusion casting, and an ability called the Dead Zone, which grants uncontrollable overwhelming combat capability and the ability to generate energy blasts, though it will cause him to explode over time and damage him. After Medic modifies him, he gains the ability to generate a Super Heavy Acceleration field, which freezes everything within its vicinity, such as humans and the Kamen Riders in their basic forms.
As Kamen Rider Heart, he initially assumed the mismatched, hastily made Type Speed Wild Technic form due to Brain's compiled data on their battles with Shinnosuke. After regaining his Roidmude power, Heart is able to assume his true form, Type Miracle, which grants the use of the Viral Blending ability to combine his, Brain, and Medic's powers.
Heart is portrayed by Tomoya Warabino.

Brain

The Brain Roidmude, also known simply as Brain and formerly known as Roidmude 003, is a cold, arrogant, calculating, and stoic namesake-themed Bat-Type Roidmude who is responsible for collecting and managing information on their kind, resetting rogue members, and serving as Heart's advisor. Detesting chaos and unruly behavior, even amongst his comrades, he is easily irritated by the brash and disorderly Advanced Roidmudes and the idea that they seem to be the most powerful. Additionally, he sees the Kamen Riders as a threat to the Roidmudes' goal. Initially assuming the identity of the intelligence agency's programming deputy director Mitsuharu Kineta after escaping into cyberspace during the Global Freeze, Brain later assumes the alias of Sou Noumi, a consultant from a Paranormal Science Institute, to help Freeze hinder the Special Investigations Division's efforts to stop the Roidmudes and get Shinnosuke Tomari suspended from the police force.
Following Freeze's death, Brain uses a Neo Viral Core to fuse with Mitsuhide Nira, who was envious of Shinnosuke's father, Eisuke Tomari, to achieve his Over-Evolved form. However, the Roidmude is defeated by Kamen Riders Drive, Mach, and Chaser and subsequently tortured by Medic for his failure. After witnessing Tenjuro Banno's return as Gold Drive and warning Heart of Medic being under Banno's control, Brain goes into hiding to prevent himself from being used in Banno's plot to enact a second Global Freeze, leading to Brain entering the Special Investigations Division's protective custody. Ultimately, Brain chooses to help Heart save Medic by sacrificing himself to power Banno's Sigma Circular in her place.
During the events of the V-Cinema Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain, Go Shijima reconstitutes Brain, Heart, and Medic's consciousnesses while attempting to revive Chase. Following this, Brain dreams of becoming Kamen Rider Brain via the Brain Driver belt and fighting the Mu organization to prevent them from wiping out individuality on Earth.
During the events of the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders, Brain is revived by Foundation X as a Humagear.
In his Roidmude form, Brain can attack a target's nervous system via a powerful neurotoxin, hack technology by tapping his glasses, and strengthen himself via envy as his emotional catalyst. Additionally, he used a tablet to keep track of the Roidmudes, though he was unaware of Banno's consciousness being within it until the mad scientist became Gold Drive. In his Over-Evolved form, Brain possesses ESP, the use of psionic attacks, poisonous tentacles, and data manipulation. As Kamen Rider Brain, he retains his Roidmude powers while gaining the use of the Brain Megane Blade sword and the Ride Braiser motorcycle. He can also perform the Rider Poison Hands and Poison Handkerchiefs attacks, which allow him to secrete 999 types of toxicants, and the Brain Head Crusher Full Throttle.
Brain is portrayed by Shota Matsushima.

Medic

The Medic Roidmude, also known simply as Medic and formerly known as Roidmude 009, is a heartless namesake-themed Cobra-Type Roidmude who assumed the form of Misuzu Hatori, a human ballerina who was left hospitalized, paralyzed, and amnesiac following a car crash. While taking part in the Global Freeze, Medic found and nursed an injured Heart back to health, but entered a catatonic state when the event ended.
In the present, Volt gives his life to contribute to Medic's revival, allowing her to help Heart and Brain achieve their Over-evolved forms, reprogram Chase to become the Roidmudes' defender after he slowly regains his memories as Proto Zero, and create the Grim Reaper Unit to take his place in helping Brain reset rogue Roidmudes. Despite taking on Hatori's kindness, Medic's emotions became twisted as a result of synchronizing with other Roidmudes, which manifests as her alternating between nurse/ballerina-inspired attire and Gothic Lolita-inspired attire in her human form based on whether Hatori's kindness or the other Roidmudes' collective minds hold the most influence on her. After Tenjuro Banno resurfaces as Gold Drive, he manipulates Medic into facilitating his scheme to enact a second Global Freeze, though her loyalty to Heart causes her to achieve her Over-Evolved form. Banno reprograms her to obey him instead so he can use her to power his Sigma Circular. However, Brain sacrifices himself to save her, causing her to regain her memories and rejoin Heart to stop Banno before she is destroyed by the Sigma Circular.
In combat, Medic can use feelings of devotion to strengthen herself, produce healing energy from her hands, which has the side effect of causing her to absorb targets' emotions, absorb Roidmudes' Cores for transportation purposes, teleport, alter other Roidmudes' programming, produce scalpel-tipped tentacles from her shoulders in both her human and Roidmude forms capable of penetrating Roidmudes' bodies and destroying their Cores, fire a scalpel beam, produce human clones, and enhanced vision. In her Over-Evolved form, she possesses aero- and ergokinesis and superhuman strength.
Medic is portrayed by Fumika Baba.

Freeze

The Freeze Roidmude, also known simply as Freeze and formerly known as Roidmude 001, is an ice/snow-themed Cobra-Type Roidmude, the leader of the Roidmude forces, and one of Tenjuro Banno's earliest creations who joined Heart and Brain in killing Banno and Krim Steinbelt before causing the Global Freeze. Not long afterwards, Freeze assumed the form of Soichi Makage, secretary of the National Bureau of Defense, to watch over the police force and evolved into his Advanced form.
In the present, he creates Neo Viral Cores to bolster the Roidmudes in their fight against the Kamen Riders and fights to personally remove Shinnosuke Tomari from the police force while using him to complete his evolution. While Freeze succeeds in attaining his Over-Evolved form using humiliation as his emotional catalyst and killing Shinnosuke, the latter's allies revive him so he can destroy Freeze in retaliation for seemingly killing his father, Eisuke Tomari, though Freeze reveals it was Mitsuhide Nira instead before he dies.
In his Advanced form, Freeze possesses cryokinesis and the ability to produce snowflakes capable of suppressing memories, though Eisuke proved immune. Additionally, he is capable of producing the strongest Heavy Acceleration field, even in his original form. In his Over-Evolved form, Freeze can fly, generate snowstorms, and produce energy blasts and shields.
Freeze is portrayed by Masami Horiuchi.

Roidmude 004

Roidmude 004 is a Spider-Type Roidmude and Tenjuro Banno's right-hand man who copied Krim Steinbelt's appearance before the Global Freeze, though 004's mind became corrupted and he was deactivated. In the present, Banno reactivates 004 to serve as his subordinate and pose as a future version of Steinbelt who became the ruler of a Roidmude dominant Earth. After being defeated in battle by Kamen Rider Drive, 004 attempts to destroy the Kamen Riders, Medic, and Heart by self-destructing, but Kamen Rider Dead Heat Mach protects them before 004 explodes.
In a possible future time period depicted in the film Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future, 004 planted a chip in Mr. Belt that allowed the Roidmudes to take over Earth after Shinnosuke destroyed the latter. By 2035, 004 became the leader of an army of blank Roidmudes and tasked Roidmude 108 with going back in time to ensure their future comes to pass.

Zoruku Tojo is a master criminal and gentleman thief nicknamed "Phantom Thief Ultimate Lupin". First appearing in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle and sometime after the Global Freeze, an aged Tojo found Cyberoid ZZZ, an android that Krim Steinbelt created in preparation for the Roidmudes' attack against humanity with the intention of transferring his consciousness into it before he was forced to put the android in storage as it requires a strong mind to control it. Before his death, Tojo transferred his mind into Cyberoid ZZZ, obtains the Lupin Gunner firearm, and goes on a crime spree as Kamen Rider Lupin. However, he is confronted and defeated by Kamen Rider Drive, who burns out Cyberoid ZZZ and forces out Tojo's consciousness, which ends up in a Bat Viral Core. Via a holographic projection, Tojo promises Drive he will return.
As of the Hyper Battle DVD special Type Lupin! ~Lupin, the Last Challenge~, Tojo has become a Roidmude and recovered from his injuries, only to be attacked by Roidmude 100, who steals his Lupin Gunner to pose as him. Tojo eventually finds Drive and 100, steals back the Lupin Gunner, and helps the former defeat the latter, burning up the last of his energy in the process. Through a letter he sent before he died, Tojo leaves his Lupin Gunner and Viral Core with Drive for safekeeping.
As Kamen Rider Lupin, Tojo possesses enough power to destroy regular Roidmudes and their cores. He can also combine the Lupin Gunner and the Lupin Blade Viral Core to access the former's dagger-like Blade Mode.
